Sad thing is...they probably are!
Well, I guess it's a helpful change in “branding” that the liberals are blasting the Roman Catholic Church for being anti-gay rather than blasting it for trying (with considerable success) to address the pedophile priest problem. It's not a bad thing to be accused of faithfulness to the historic Christian position on a currently controversial issue.
Welcome to the attacks, Catholics... on this issue, we're in the same fight. Go google "First Orthodox Presbyterian Church of San Francisco" and you'll see the stuff my Calvinist tradition has been facing for several decades since First OPC successfully won a court battle allowing the church to fire a practicing homosexual organist.

Another Catholic whose actions show the weakness of the church. He should be “asked” to leave.
let’s advertise it! ‘If you’re a liberal and a Catholic, think again, you can’t be both — give up one!’
Chris Matthews is, and always will be, a buffoon. Who in the name of hell listens to this guy? How does he stay on the radio or TV or wherever he spouts is BS? I put him in the same category as Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Jackson, Sharpton, Waters, and the rest of those blooming idiots.
Tingles is a fraud. He referred to Senator Larry Craig as a pervert after Craig’s toe tapping incident. Of course Craig was a Republican. Maybe Tingles was referring to Craig’s political affiliation rather than his sexual preferences.
There a re 70 million Catholics in the US.
That’s a lot of people to call racists.
... and ashamed of Clarence Thomas.
Unless you join the priesthood because libs think they are all...
"Few Americans hate the Catholic Church, but millions hate what they think is the Catholic Church." --Bishop Fulton Sheen.
Liberal perversions of Christianity seem to be saying, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth ... but that doesn't mean it's okay for Him to tell us what to do". Or perhaps, "I will follow You wherever You lead ... but only if you lead along the path I was going to follow anyways".
What he means by calling someone a “bigot” is
“Shut up”, he explained.
Bingo! That has been my conclusion as well.
The Church is growing stronger every day, but not because anti-gay people are joining it, as Chris Matthews believes — in fact, Church attendance has been declining for decades — but because pro-gay liberals like Chris have been leaving it.
For two thousand years, the Church has had to use the tortuous, time-consuming practice of excommunication to rid itself of apostates so that it could remain true to its principles. Now, anti-Christian cultural warriors like Chris Matthews have been doing such dirty work for them. Those who remain in the Church are more and more true believers. Which is why Cardinal Dolan’s recent call to action to preserve religious freedom was met with such an overwhelmingly strong response from the faithful that President Obama had to rush to propose an ‘’accommodation’’ however flawed.
As long as Chris and his anti-Christian comrades-in-arms continue their assault on everything sacred, religion will continue to thrive.
Wow I thought if you were really a bigot you became a democrat and then professed not to be one while working hard to keep the undesirables down? Who knew? I mean it was FDR (D) who appointed Hugo Black to the Supreme Court, the slave owners were democrats, and the democrats also crafted all of the Jim Crow laws.
Libtards can’t stand the thought that religious faith and authority is a better preventative of moral anarchy than statism and control of behavior by big government.
