All future bequests will now have morality clauses.

You hit the nail on the head with the money. (same reason they don't go and form their own boy scouts.) It is not the one homosexual priest becoming a bishop, its the other homosexual priests pushing him from behind. This was a done deal looooong before the vote.

They are counting on the backlash being nothing more than words. I hope, regardless of the silver involved, that the people back their objections with action.

You know, I think that the gay lobby is simply one arm of a larger effort. It is being used to control populare culture and the political agenda.

Ask yourself this: are gays and lesbians drawn to the democrats or the Republicans? PETA or NRA? ANSWER or Free Iraq? NOW or the Concerned Women of America?

They are a vocal and creative arm of the leftist movement.

Not all are leftists, of course. But a large number are, and it is the most vocal group.

I still say that these groups are after not only societal approval but also control of the discourse, the land, the money, and the power.

While searching through Methodist Church financial information on-line (and what a byzantine and difficult way they have of allowing you to access the information) I came across a statement about how Nelson Mandela got his start and financial support from the Methodist Church in South Africa, funded by the American church. I wonder how many people are aware of that, particularly Methodists?
