Who in hell is the Bishop of Rome to attempt to dictate policy to American Legislators?..on this, or any other matter!..Not all Americans are of the Roman Persuasion, & regardless of their position on matters of gay rights (which, by the way, are exactly the same under the US Constitution as for any other US Citizen, & should not need special legislation to assure them), some of us non-Papists resent strongly Papal interference in American Legislative Matters..Such Papal Arrogance ignited Bismarck's "Kulturkampf" in the Second German Reich, & may eventually produce a backlash here..Let the Bishop of Rome tend his flock of errant priests, & keep his nose out of American Civil matters!

Now now. He did say especially Roman Catholic people. And the Mayor of San Francisco is....Roman Catholic btw. Mayor Gavin Newsom is RCC.
And he's not listening. He says he's going to keep doing it until the courts say he can't even though Prop. 22 says states marriage is 1 woman and 1 man only. Even though it's not legal, he's going to continue until the courts say he can't.
I fear for our republic.
