I'm not saying this to be rude to Catholics or anyone for that matter, but why all of the worry about homosexuals as of late? They're such an insignificant portion of the population, does anyone really care what they're doing?
You do realize this is an Anglican bishop, not a Catholic one, right?
"all of the worry about homosexuals as of late? They're such an insignificant portion of the population, does anyone really care what they're doing?"
It has very little to do with homosexuality, actually. That's just the media spin.
The heretics justify homosexual bishop, for example, by basically saying that St. Paul didn't know what he was talking about when he listed the specific qualifications to be a bishop --- which include (paraphrase) "not prone to much drink and not prone to sexual immorality"
Robinson was both an admitted alcoholic (he's now in rehab) and a non-celebate homosexual with a live-in boyfriend.
The long and short --- you either accept the Bible as the Word, or you don't. The heretics, don't.
Because of hate speech laws, age of consent laws, marriage laws, child rearing etc.
Look to Sweden, Canada, etc to see our future if a firm foot is not put down immediately.
The gay lobby was quite influential in Canada's age of consent laws being reduced to 14. Or, a pastor in Sweden was recently put under arrest for speaking out against gay behavior. In the more liberal Scandanavian countries, marriage is on a death spiral, and it was either the Netherlands or Sweden where three people just got hitched in a civil union (all this happened as marriage was redefined so gays didn't get their feelings hurt).
Read some of the blog posts from Brussels Journal and other English speaking Scandanavian blogs to see the slippery slope to soft socialist totalitarianism, where a blind eye is being turned towards behaviors such as rape of native swedish girls by muslim immigrants, because it's not PC to speak out, and the cowardly media/government won't acknowledge the problem. Or the fact that being a "breeder" is no longer considered desirable, and the more fertile muslim immigrants are slowly replacing their hosts.
We have some major threats we need to face in this country, including the Mexican invasion, the war against Islamic expansionism, the ever hungry Chinese dragon, and socialist bullies to the south. We can't afford to go wobbly, but the social order that fosters and promotes items like gay marriage has no courage, and does not love this country.
They would let the west die. I'm personally rather opposed to that idea.

Because the "love that dare not speak it's name" has turned into "the love that won't STFU". Gays don't bother me (with the exception of NAMBLA) but they want to trumpet their lifestyle from the rooftops and what's worse they want to indoctrinate schoolchildren. Enough is enough already.
