BALTIMORE - One of Maryland's most recognizable yet seldom-seen politicians publicly entered the same-sex marriage debate Tuesday.
Former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend made a rare public appearance to rally Catholics to uphold Maryland's same-sex marriage law at the polls. She urged Catholics, who are a major voting block, to buck church policy.
"I learned from the nuns to love one another and that that was the most important commandment," she said, finding a way to reconcile her Catholic faith with her support of the idea.
The daughter of civil rights stalwart Robert Kennedy said the law does gel with her faith.
"Marriage equality is really consistent -- deeply consistent -- with what the Catholic Church over 2,000 years has tried to teach," Kennedy Townsend said.

Homosexual Marriage is 0/31 when put to the ballot. 4 states (incl MD) are voting on it this Fall. I firmly believe it will be 0/35 on Nov. 7th thanks in part to 0bamao and the gay mafia shoving this perverted garbage in the face of Americans for the past year. Now that their true intentions (embrace,acceptance,power,intimidation and privilege) are clear to those who thought they just wanted "tolerance" - the tables are turning.

The Kennedys have been the biggest Trojan Horse and national embarrassment to the Catholic faith and honest abiding Catholics in this country.

If I were Satan, I’d disguise my evil intent with love and compassion. We’re going down boys and girls. We lose our morals, we lose everything.

This is the nonsense that happens when the bishops fail to do their duty.It may have been unpleasant but public heretics be they nuns, abortion loving Democrat politicians and their ilk should have been excommunicated ala Henry VIII long ago.

It’s time to sever the Kennedys from the Catholic Church. They are a scandal. Bishop Lori, newly appointed by Pope Benedict just might have to make it happen.

Another Kennedy thinking the world revolves around all things Kennedy.
And just when I think it is time for a new tagline, along comes another Kennedy spouting inane drivel.

Liberals don’t let little things like homosexuality come between them and their God.

"I learned from the nuns to love one another and that that was the most important commandment,"
Ummm. Which commandment is 'love one another'? It must be the 12th, because the 11th is 'Thou shalt not whine'.
