Archbishop [Nienstedt]: Anti-Gay Marriage DVD Will be Mailed to All MN Catholics
KSTP ^ | 09/21/2010 | Mark Albert

Posted on 09/21/2010 1:12:19 PM PDT by Pyro7480

Archbishop John Nienstedt announced Monday that every Catholic in the state will be mailed a DVD defending marriage as between one man and one woman, as he hopes to "rally the troops" around the Church's position on the divisive issue just six weeks before Election Day.

Nienstedt appears at the beginning of the eight-minute video, which was prepared by the Knights of Columbus, and will be mailed to the state's Catholics on Wednesday, paid for by a large donation, the archbishop told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Monday evening. The archdiocesan website lists the state's Catholic population at "approximately 800,000."

"Our target is basically our Catholic people," Archbishop Nienstedt said in an interview. "To remind them of what we believe and why we believe it and why it's so important that they believe it."

Nienstedt spoke to KSTP-TV at the Catholic Defense League's annual Mass and banquet at St. Helena's Catholic Church in south Minneapolis. The archbishop was the keynote speaker at the dinner, delivering a speech to more than a hundred people titled, "In defense of Marriage and Family."

Before the speech, Nienstedt said he hoped the DVD would be a "teaching tool" to parishioners in the 217 archdiocesan parishes.

"It's not partisan politics in any way. But you know, it's kind of rallying the troops around this issue and pointing out to Catholics that this is an important issue in every election year," archbishop Nienstedt said....

I’m sure this is good but why on earth would any Catholic need to be told that fag marriage is a bad thing? Could any even nominal Catholic endeavor to hold any other view? I have to say this makes me feel even more distant from the New-Church Catholics. Hope the DVD works, anyway.

I'm sure you're aware of the bad catechesis over the past decades.

exactly

it is high time for all Revs, Priests etc be telling their congregation that homosexuality is not what is agreed in the church.

In the church in Quincy MA where the Quincy Adams rests a group calling themselves religious have a banner frlying from the building saying marriage equality, they also have a homosexual rainbow flag flying.

Now this so called church is right across the road from city hall etc.
Now they seem to be able to talk about their queer sham marriage but hey if the proper church speaks out then the left/homosexuals go nuts.

It is not political for the Revs, Priests to talk about marriage it is their religious right to do so.
