A San Francisco city and county board resolution that officially labeled the Catholic church's moral teachings on homosexuality as "insulting to all San Franciscans," "hateful," "defamatory," "insensitive" and "ignorant" will be challenged tomorrow in court for violating the Constitution's prohibition of government hostility toward religion.

Resolution 168-08, passed unanimously by the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors two years ago, also accused the Vatican of being a "foreign country" meddling with and attempting to "negatively influence (San Francisco's) existing and established customs."

It said of the church's teaching on homosexuality, "Such hateful and discriminatory rhetoric is both insulting and callous, and shows a level of insensitivity and ignorance which has seldom been encountered by this Board of Supervisors."

Still waiting for their condemnation of Islam which thinks of buggery pretty much the same way.

And it is such a shame because I would love to see SF. Not going to happen other than in pictures.

I was there last summer on business. Like you, I had always wanted to see San Francisco. After visiting, I have one word for it: OVERRATED. If you want to see a truly beautiful city, go to Vancouver instead, and make a side trip to Victoria.

Pffft. As if God cares about their City Council’s opinions.

Yes, indeed. SF (I won't write the name) USED to be my favortie city since I first visted there at age 9 -- no more. Hasn't been my favorite for many years now. Cammie is right about Victoria - a gorgeous and interesting place.

A priest who stays at our parish while Catholic Univ. is out of session told us about the time he drove down the Ventura Highway. His name is Fr. Francisco Diego Cruz.
