Hard to see the point of this activism. To let the Church know how many people are gay? Isn't that already known? or maybe it's just committing felonies by defacing currency in order to buy an absolution?

It's only a felony if you deface with the intent to defraud, such as making a $1 bill look like a $20. I learned that from a guy who makes jewelry out of coins (he had photocopies of the statutes).
However, this still won't do jack so far as getting the Church to accept evil as good.

I wonder if the church would actually consider not taking the money?
Or better yet earmark that money specifically to a counseling service geared toward turning gays back to heteros. Ha ha.
To: Antioch
Maybe they can just buy indulgences.
To: Antioch
I think they should let them know where the money is coming from. The church needs to know who is supporting them.
Christ supports His Church, though the devil sometimes makes deliveries.

Just put the bill in the bill counter and let'r rip. I wouldn't notice the "protest". And if I saw it, I'd ignore it.
I've written "bush 1" on some dollar bills when I go into liberal onclaves. No big deal.

How 'bout the poofters give up their attachment to the sin of sodomy, rather than making stupid little protest gestures?

Is this like a substitute for confession? What should I put on my check if I spend too much time on the computer and sneak chocolate late at night?

Fine with me. But they shouldn't be heard to complain if the church actually keeps track of the marked money from gays and compares it to the overall receipts.

Degree and others are concerned about several positions the Catholic church has taken recently, such as banning gay priests. Yes, the Catholic faith has always supported gay priests. It was only recently they were banned.

I think its a weak attempt to trip up a church into participating in sin. The (twisted) logic being something like. "when you see our triangle bills, you'll know that somewhere in your church are gay parishers, unrepentant and with no intention of leaving. By collecting, pooling and spending the money, the you will be benefitting (and by extention, sanctioning) our behaviour.
Its like when the govt tries to force Catholic schools to adopt non-discrimination policies as a backdoor to forcing gay rights into the curriculum

Rachel Dykosky thinks the whole initiative is a fine idea as well
