If the experience of those few other states and countries where this is already law is any indication, the churches, and believers, will soon be harassed, threatened, and hauled into court for their conviction that marriage is between one man, one woman, forever, bringing children into the world, wrote the archbishop. Zero would put us in gulags tomorrow if he thought he could get away with it.

Maybe the hierarchy should have spoken more forcefully in previous elections, not on the eve of this vote; they might change a few minds if they assertively state that people are endangering their immortal souls by openly defying God on something He spoke quite forcefully about.

Yes, gays can get “married”, but is will never be “marriage, marriage” if you know what I mean.

I wish that wasn't the case, but I don't see any other way at this point.
America is facing a moral crisis every bit as great as the one brought on by slavery a century and a half ago.

They have been quite forthright, at least in New York, for some time. It took just two GOP state reps to turn traitor on this one. I don’t know if they’re Catholic or not, but if they are, they should be excommunicated.

Maybe they should have publically excommunicated pro-homo and pro-abort politicians like the Cuomos, Kennedys, etc.

This is the whole point behind the left backing “gay rights” -
the criminalization of Christianity.
The left/commies couldn’t care less about the homos, they’re just a weapon or tool. And when the commies accomplish their goals, they’ll be “discarded”.

The gay marriage push is simply about being able to punish with state power those who wont buy into the statists and homosexualists ever devolving take on marriage.

My mother had the best reply when she was asked if she backed homosexual marriage: “My spirit does not accept that.”

It’s coming. If I want to hear the truth from my Pastor, I’ll have to visit him in jail. he’s already told us that’s where he will be if the government out laws any part of the Gospel.

I dont know if theyre Catholic or not, but if they are, they should be excommunicated. We as Baptists don't have "excommunication", I'd settle for horse whipping them.
To: Graybeard58
Horsewhipping would probably work too.

As long as the Catholic Church (or any other group)persists in following the dictates of the “social justice” crowd, they are going to reap the whirlwind of the wind they have sown.
It's just too bad they drag us “Social justice is no jusice” people down along with them.
That being said, the Catholic Church, along with those Protestant churches that preach the true Gospel, and other groups that follow the dictates of their religion instead of those of secular liberalism, are probably in for a hard time over the coming years.

Probably ours, I fear.
Sadly, most priests/pastors will turn. People don't want to risk the tax exempt subsidy.
