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.

Maybe they can just buy indulgences.

“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?

“If you want our money, then support us,” says parishioner Tom Degree.

I guess the queers think Benedict XVI is for sale.

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.

“If you want our money, then support us,”

Apparently homosexuals believe that morality is for sale.

Cash donations will be marked with a pink triangle around the pyramid on the back,

The pyramid is only found on one dollar bills. If you want someone to notice your donation, use large bills.

Should anyone in Minnesota wish to counter protest, I suggest highlighting in gold, the words "In God We Trust" found on the back of all denominations of US currency.

Another way for homosexuals to blow some bucks.

A dollar bill?

They're cheap, too.

The more reputable studies put the gay population at no more than 2% of the general population. If the culturally Catholic proportion of gays is the same as in the general population (about 25%), then we're down to 0.5% of the overall population. But many Catholic homosexuals have already repudiated their membership in the Church, so the number is even smaller than that, perhaps only half. Further, among those who haven't repudiated their membership, a sizeable number probably don't attend Mass on anything like a regular basis, either (let's assume half, again, which is actually better than the overall population, so I'm being generous), making the potential base for this "protest" very small indeed.

"Therefore," half of half of 0.5% of the 293,000,000 people in this country is...366,250 people. Nationwide. At most.

I don't think the Church will miss their money all that much! ;-)

There's a pattern here. It seems to me that, since the seminary investigations began, and the Vatican statement on homosexuality is known to be ready for publication, the gay lobby in the Church is working overtime in a desperate effort to "shame" the Church into acquiescence. All sorts of "Catholic" colleges and "theologians" are weighing-in with their sophistries on this subject, and much of this finds its way onto the FR discussion boards as evidence.

This pathetic effort is part and parcel of the larger campaign. The Church should just ignore it. Just to make sure, I think Between the Lines' idea of highlighting in gold "In God We Trust" is an excellent thing to publicize as a counter-protest. Plus, it can be done on higher denominations than just "Ones"! Two can play this game!
