Michigan AG Offers Double Dose of Anti-Catholicism

Dana Nessel forces Catholic agencies to adopt out to same-sex couples

Michigan's first openly gay attorney general this month announced she's using her position to stifle Catholic and other religious groups. Dana Nessel, elected as Michigan's 54th attorney general in November, has halted all state funding for adoption and foster care agencies that refuse services to gay couples based on religious conscience grounds.

Nessel and her "wife" Alanna Maguire are themselves raising twin boys.

Nessel also announced she was establishing a "Hate Crimes Unit" (HCU) within the criminal division of the Michigan attorney general's office. The HCU will launch investigations and initiate prosecutions against groups or individuals that are motivated by "a bias against a particular group."

Nessel has indicated she'll focus on so-called hate groups listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a leftist group increasingly discredited as primarily interested in smearing pro-life, pro-family organizations, including Church Militant, recently added to its "Hate List."

Church Militant asked the Michigan attorney general's office whether this organization is under investigation.

"We don't disclose who we are and are not investigating," a spokesman answered. "However, it's important to note law enforcement agencies only investigate criminal acts."

the Left will target the Catholics first as they are so visible. Socialists and Communists hate Christians and Jews, they always move to deny religious freedoms and close down churches.

Don’t Catholics get enough hate from their own pope?

The Nazis didn’t like us Catholics either. If my family hadn’t moved here a little before Hitler came to power, I wouldn’t be alive today.

So will they be investigating the Michigan attorney general for anti-Catholic bias.

This stuff doesn’t happen in the free world. Can we stop pretending that we are the free world now?

By what authority?

Exactly.

Time to oust her and jail her.

When she asks on what authority, laugh in her hypocrite face.

Your wrong. It’s targeting Christians period. The persecution will only get worse. Stay away from the mark of the DNC.

Unless there is push back with rage in the streets, nothing will stop the destruction of America. Are there any who are willing to confront evil?

Now if her duties are to act as an attorney to the legislature she can offer a legal opinion based on existing law. But it would only be an opinion. It would not have the force of legislation. Only a judge can interpret statute (when it is not plain on the face) and have that interpretation handed down to the legislature who then can either change the law or keep it as written depending on the ruling.

People have become way too accepting of expanding the role of the judiciary to include having the final say when a law is challenged. They don’t. The legislature makes laws- that includes revisions, amendments, or outright deletions.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

The entire Catholic pedophilia problem was created by the large influx of homosexuals into the priesthood. Now this AG wants the Catholic Church to help them adopt children?
