"So I get frustrated sometimes, when that's interpreted as being 'anti-gay,' that's where we kinda cringe," he continued, "because believe it or not, we get attacked from the other extreme for defending the rights of gays and for the strong Church teaching that every single human being ... is a child of God, deserving of dignity and respect."

Well said, Archbishop Dolan! The Church teaches us to love the sinner, but hate the sin. Folks find that hard to understand, but the Archbishop has it right that the Church should stand fast against sinful behavior, but always invite repentance on the part of the sinner.

Folks had a hard time understanding that concept when it came straight from Jesus, in person! I think it's because many people don't like the idea that we are *all* sinners in need of repentance. It's easier to pretend that only those who do what we personally find distasteful are sinners, while we, personally, are just fine thank you.
