http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/us-bishop-tobin-gay-marriage-blatant-rejection-gods-plan-father-lies In reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling today that homosexual marriage is a right, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, head of the Catholic diocese of Providence, Rhode Island, said "a thousand courts" may rule what they want but gay marriage "is morally wrong" and a "rejection of God's plan for the human family." Quoting Pope Francis, Bishop Tobin further said that homosexual marriage comes from "the father of lies," Satan, "who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." "A thousand courts may rule otherwise, but the very notion of 'same-sex marriage' is morally wrong and a blatant rejection of Gods plan for the human family," said Bishop Tobin in a June 26 post on Facebook. He continued, "As Pope Francis taught while serving as Archbishop in Argentina: 'Same-sex marriage is not simply a political struggle, but it is an attempt to destroy Gods plan. It is a move of the father of lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.'"

I hope this Pope doesn’t demote him for making an unauthorized statement.

Error? Just a mistake? Oopsie? What godless, flatulent mewling!
Where are the pulpit flamethrowers of yesteryear declaring this act as an evil monstrosity and a satanic affront to Almighty God?
America is begging for destruction. She shall have it.

I think the new Catholic Pope might disagree.

This Kurtz fellow is the same one, only last week, jumping up and down about the necessity of the RC Church forcing the Pope’s manifesto on global warming down parishoners throats.
The guy needs to look at himself and his Church hierarchy and their enablement of Liberalism before he can speak credibly on this sort of issue.
I do hope that, in the spirit of Justice Kennedy’s last paragraph (inferring a right to disagree but not deny) his own Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville is the first one targeted by gay activists demanding that the RC Church marry them.
To: Tzimisce
Pope Francis has spoken loud and clear about marriage. That he has done. Marriage is a man and woman, for bringing children into the word. I am not the biggest Francis’ fan, but please don’t lie about him.

Agreed. The bad things he actually says are strange and disturbing enough.
To: tanknetter
Why in the hell do you hate the Catholic Church for speaking the truth about marriage? On all social issues of faith and morality the Catholic Church is traditional to the core. But I guess that’s lost on Catholic bashers.

I wonder what happens in 5 to 10 years when the government declares that same sex marriages must be allowed in churches and must be performed by priest as a condition for their churches' lawful existence.

At the rate things are going to hell in a hand basket, I fear it won’t even take 5 to 10 years.

("One Lord, one faith, one baptism" - Ephesians 4:5)
To: All
"....I encourage Catholics to move forward with faith, hope, and love: faith in the unchanging truth about marriage, rooted in the immutable nature of the human person and confirmed by divine revelation; hope that these truths will once again prevail in our society, not only by their logic, but by their great beauty and manifest service to the common good; and love for all our neighbors, even those who hate us or would punish us for our faith and moral convictions. Lastly, I call upon all people of good will to join us in proclaiming the goodness, truth, and beauty of marriage as rightly understood for millennia, and I ask all in positions of power and authority to respect the God-given freedom to seek, live by, and bear witness to the truth.
Someone get this man a spine.
It was...a classic example of a style of ecclesiastical document that the Vatican employs in complicated situations....This style of writing aims at studied ambiguity, a Vatican diplomat explained to me, noting that the people who write such letters are trained to think in terms of centuries, not sound bites. So you always need to be able to say fifty years on, Well, of course we never meant that, the diplomat said.
