Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on a statement issued by evangelical leaders August 29:

The Catholic League has a long history of mutual cooperation with evangelical Christians on a host of cultural issues.

In that spirit, we condemn the unfair attacks against the statement on marriage, family and sexuality that was signed by more than 150 evangelical leaders following their conference in Nashville last week.

“Hateful,” “homophobic,” “anti-LGBT” are among the hysterical condemnations of the statement flying around print, broadcast and social media.

But the statement is none of those things.

While restating long-held Christian teaching that marriage is ordained by God as the “lifelong union of one man and one woman,” and that differences between male and female are “divinely ordained” and unchangeable, the statement does not single out homosexual or transgender persons.

It emphasizes that all human beings are called to “chastity outside of marriage and fidelity within marriage,” reiterating the immorality of heterosexual intercourse “before or outside marriage” as well.

What a hypocrite, considering Bill Donohue supported civil unions at least as far back as 2002.

nickcarraway ~~ What a hypocrite, considering Bill Donohue supported civil unions at least as far back as 2002. The difference between 'civil unions' and Marriages, is the one is concerned primarily with civil/tax matters; the other is a Sacramental union where bride and groom consecrate themselves to God and each other, in the presence of family and friends. My only objection to Civil Unions is that they insist it is equal to Marriage! GRRR!!!

Where gay civil unions are established gay marriages inevitably follow.

Bill Domohue’s pope won’t be happy.
