A San Francisco city and county board resolution that officially labeled the Catholic church's moral teachings on homosexuality as "insulting to all San Franciscans," "hateful," "defamatory," "insensitive" and "ignorant" will be challenged tomorrow in court for violating the Constitution's prohibition of government hostility toward religion.
Resolution 168-08, passed unanimously by the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors two years ago, also accused the Vatican of being a "foreign country" meddling with and attempting to "negatively influence (San Francisco's) existing and established customs."
It said of the church's teaching on homosexuality, "Such hateful and discriminatory rhetoric is both insulting and callous, and shows a level of insensitivity and ignorance which has seldom been encountered by this Board of Supervisors."

If you read this story about San Francisco, there's a good chance that you'll turn into a block of salt...
Too funny. "Seldom been encountered by this Board" in reference to centuries of teaching in place before any of them were born.
San Francisco, the hotbed of intolerance.
What would happen if the Catholic Church put an interdict on the city and refused to allow any Catholic sacraments to be performed inside it. No Masses said, no confessions, no baptisms or funerals....
In several different sources one can see that the KGB has been working to promote many things that would undermine the social fabric of these United States. San Francisco should be reminded that it is named after Saint Francis. It was founded by Catholics!
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
Communism never gives up.........San Francisco has fallen, there is no mistake about it.
Wonder what they’ll have to say at the Judgement?
“Such hateful and discriminatory rhetoric is both insulting and callous, and shows a level of insensitivity and ignorance which has seldom been encountered by this Board of Supervisors.”
Wait until these godless folks discover what Islam teaches.
“America’s most tolerant city” does, indeed, get dumber by the minute!
I found the “seldom been encountered by this board” remark rich in irony as well. These idiots think they are so enlightened, but they are in fact just a bunch of fanatic fat fags.
Will Nan defend her faith?........mmmmm, nah.
10.0! 10.0! 10.0! Come on just one little 10.0!
This shows the futility of the Bishop of San Francisco giving Communion to the homosexuals dressed up in those outfits last year, there is little point in toadying when all that will happen is the immoral will reject Christ anyway.
Bribing them by debasing the Church will not work..period.
Ironic since the name of the city is Roman Catholic in origin.
No such condemnation for the Islamic faith? Or do they now teach it’s ok to be homosexual and do not execute homosexuals?
Yeah, only in America would a city condemn a religion that speaks out against a subject, but is silent on the religion that murders those who practice that subject.
I am so sick of the left and their gripes with Christianity but silence on Islam.
Ping!
OK, we have our modern day Sodom, which city is Gomorrah?
Should we be expecting a massive earthquake to wipe it off the map sometime soon?
How much longer until they rename the city? They can’t have a city named for a Catholic saint. I predict it will become Milkberg, or maybe Saint Harvey, after Harvey Milk, the gay SF supervisor who was murdered, along with mayor Moscone in 1978.
...What would happen if the Catholic Church etc..
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Sounds good...Excommunicate the whole city ...
I still think the tobacco companies should refuse to sell their product in the states that continued to ‘abuse’ them.
See how long they could live without the tax money.
The Church should speak out. No Catholics should ever visit san fran again!
