When is the Writ of Anathema against San Trannycisco due to be read from all Archdiocese pulpits?
Then why are all we Protestants still around? (smile)
You know what I think, Fee? I think that this is a call for a number of good Catholic men and women to surround the City Hall each morning... and pray the Rosary. Nothing more. Just be there and pray for the intercession of St. Francis for the city named after him. Be there, polite, but every day pray for the city.
I am a strict practicing Catholic and even I don't believe that a city would diss the Catholic Church. What kind of fiction is this story.
Careful. I'm sure some of them are already looking forward to that prospect, in the hopes that you're clean and good looking. ;-)

You might as well "Piss in the Wind" or up a rope as to write the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Voting against the Gay Agenda is Political Suicide in SF. It will never happen. And impugning the Catholic Church for daring to say Marriage is between a Man and a Woman is tantamount to blasphemy to the Gay Activists.
Remember this is the city in the face of the AIDS outbreak refused at first to close the Bath Houses where anonymous sex and group orgies was spreading the HIV Virus like a wild fire.
Gay Groups said it was infringing on "their personal Freedom of Sexual Expression" in other words their right to gang bang one another and spread the virus. Now the Holy Grail of dismantaling Heterosexuality is to destroy Traditional Marriage. Note in Sweden where Gay Marriage was first adopted. Traditional Marriage is all but dead. That is the intended effect.
Just think of all the good things the kids will learn from Bruce and Bruce: how to score in a bathhouse; how to use "poppers" to facilitate anal intercourse; how to treat those nasty Kaposi sarcomas; how to quilt an AIDS blanket. Why the list is endless!
I'm suprised they did not commend the Church for its history of supporting child rape and providing safe haven for pedophiles...
The Catholic Church will never accept homosexual marriages, but that does not mean that they were called vicious names.

Am I missing something? I never saw that enumerated as a “right” in the Constitution... Where is “adoption” found in the Constition of the U.S. of A. ???
ROTFLMAO ~ definitely!
"In a related story, The Vatican has passed on the decree that from this point on, San Francisco is to be known as 'New Sodom.'"

This arises out of the Italian political situation ~ used to be the Pope ran most of Northern Italy. Then, after a whole lot of history, Garibaldi, Buongiovanni and others held a successful revolution that merged the Kingdom of Piedmont, the Papal States, and other segments of then then politically fragmented Italian peninsula, together with Sicilia, and created a unified Italy (with a king, later deposed and replaced by a Republic with a dictator).
The Revolutionaries carved Vatican City out of Italy and set it up as its own little country.
Actually, it's interesting that you should mention this. The last time I stayed in SF was over a weekend about 15 years ago in the heart of the downtown/major hotel area. It was scary walking down the street in the daylight at that time - between the AIDS victims and the crack addicts all begging for either attention or money........
We are all saved ~ as it were ~ the Board on Geographic Names controls the issue. San Francisco can change the name of their dirty little town all they wish, but it will continue to be known only by the one approved by the federal government.
"Demonstrating their own profound ignorance, at least in terms of biological realities, the supervisors contend, "Same-sex couples are just as qualified to be parents as are heterosexual couples." Concluding, the board urged current San Francisco "Archbishop Neiderauer and the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of San Francisco to defy all discriminatory directives of Cardinal Levada."
It really is stunning when reality begins to take on the aura of a Monty Python sketch!
REG:
Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--
STAN:
Or woman.
REG:
Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.
STAN:
Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS:
Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN:
I want to be one.
REG:
What?
STAN:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG:
What?!
LORETTA:
It's my right as a man.
JUDITH:
Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA:
I want to have babies.
REG:
You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:
It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG:
But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA:
Don't you oppress me.
REG:
I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA:
[crying]
JUDITH:
Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG:
What's the point?
FRANCIS:
What?
REG:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

It's gonna' be pretty rough on the SFO Board members ~
Actually, Vatican City IS a recognized "country," or at least a "City/State" with it's own military (The Swiss Guard) and postal system.

God may indeed choose to usher a rebel off the scene. Proverbs speaks in general terms to this effect.
