Sorry Sinky, I simply can not comprehend your position on this matter. The fact that, as a deacon of the Catholic Church, you are here publicly supporting the idea of taking sodomy laws off the books is scandalous. This act will certainly do nothing to help bring our brothers and sisters afflicted with same sex attraction back to Christ.

Indeed, it's likely the homo community is "celebrating" in their own unique ways tonight. If the overturning of this law meant nothing, why would they celebrate?

I can. I'm not sure why it follows that you would have to support outlawing all matters of morality. Adultery is legal too, so is lying (under day-to-day circumstances). Which is not a vice?

OTOH, the other extreme "you cannot legislate morality" is a total and utter canard. Every act of legislation is an act of enforced morality, and in most cases, it does 'work'.

Gays celebrating is your gauge of the significance of this decision?

No it's not. The laws are not enforced, and I'm in favor of taking all laws off the books that are not enforced. They're meaningless.

Criminal laws that were not enforced (therefore they were meaningless) didn't bring anybody back to Christ either, that I know of.
