It’s amazing how ignorant the average person is about the ramifications of gay marriage on their own families. They float through life with the “why shouldn’t they be married”, pie in the sky mentality. Relativism, as Pope Benedict XVI has often said, is the greatest threat to our christian faith.

I think folks in Maine have awakened from their stupor - and not just the Catholics. One of the gays said that they wanted to know the name of every person who voted for it, implying that some retribution was going to be taken. But I’d bet that when a bunch of university gay folk show up at a dairy farm out there - they’re going to be outgunned, literally.

These political gays live in their own stupid little world.

The Catholic Church is still fairly powerful in Maine. Protesters likely don’t want to poke that particular sleeping lion.

just imagine how “comfortable” the margin would have been if every gay couple’s dogs and dead parents didn’t vote!

Too bad these folks don’t channel their energy to solving the world’s problems, such as hunger and war, to name two.

The Church (all faiths) must keep on keeping on. Maybe some day these “activists” will get the message that most people don’t want gay marriage.

After Maine, where the Catholic church actually organized a second collection to raise money to prevent gay people from having civil rights, the situation shifts again. Using a tax-exempt church to raise money to defeat the civil rights of fellow citizens is not too shocking in the age of Benedict. It is shocking if one believes in a separation of politics and religion, and if one believes that the church of Jesus should stand in solidarity with the marginalized, rather than seeking to marginalize and demonize them still further.

Say what? Separation of politics and religion? Haaaa, Haaaaa,Haaaaaa Jesus supporting gays? Haaaaa,Haaaa,Haaaa

Threads on this subject always have a post from a Gay who says time is on their side and they gleefully anticipate the demise of The Greatest Generation. The problem is, they’ll be too busy celebrating that generation’s grave in front of them, to notice the Islamic generation behind them.

Maine is much smarter than the other blue state I live in: Mexifornia.

The mass last weekend at my L.A. parish church was a mother who was pleading for tolerance after discovering his son was gay and was ironically, demonizing other states for not accepting her views.

I had to walk out while the lemming idiots were clapping afterwards. No wonder I really dont give money to this parish no matter how much they beg.

Who else would they attack but the church. Even though the general population voted them down, they know what GOD said about their life style. By attacking the church they are attacking God. Not a fruitful venture in the long run.

Last I checked, 31 states have voted down gay marriage. Why aren’t they complaining and attacking the churches in those states as well.

That’s difficult when you think with your genitals and rectum.
