Ain’t Wilton the guy who was shagging some gal and now has a son?

No. That was Eugene Marino, an earlier (late '80s) black archbishop of Atlanta

I wonder who he voted for in the last two presidential elections?

Just Guessing, but from the radical left stance of the Catholic church on everything EXCEPT reproductive issues, I would guess someone other than Romney. Although Romney wasn't all that conservative either.

Gotta get those priorities in line with the official USCCB support of gun control

Well then, Protestant churches should run CCW courses.

A number of them jumped on the anti-gun bandwagon too.

The Archbishop has the right to keep guns off his property, but it is a foolish decision

I agree, and it's not the first foolish decision he's made recently. He had a 2.2 million dollar mini-mansion built for his residence, but the word got out, and the complaints about someone who took a vow of poverty living in such luxurious quarters has forced him to put the house on the market.

You know who those people are, Your Excellency? They are not the police

Not the way he phrased it, but I'm pretty sure he meant the police.

Well, the good archbishop must be unaware of the Catholic Cathecism, #2265: Catechism of the Catholic Church

He's going by the radical left USCCB's most recent policy on guns The USCCB has a long history of being anti-gun, pro wealth transfer, supporting illegal immigration, etc. In fact except for reproductive issues, they're in line with the progressive wing of the Democratic party.

Why advertise to shooters?

Entirely too logical for this bishop.

In essence, he is saying Peter ain’t welcome...

Logic isn't the strong suite of anti-gunners

When you see that NO Guns allowed sign that’s just showing that the property is a Free Killing Zone.

Logic and reason have no place in the minds of the Catholic hierarchy who want to ban guns.

An error of ignorance.

“Sorry, your Excellency. Unicorns, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and righteous socialism do not exist. Nor are the police there to baby sit the public. If someone attacks any of your churches, the police will not be able to stop them. They can, however, “police” up the Earthly remains of your congregants and clergy, and give you their condolences.

“However, if so much as a single congregant ignores your fanciful wishes, he might save the lives of many people, giving you at least an opportunity to save their souls.”

Willful ignorance on Gregory's part. He's just as capable as anyone else of looking at the gun free zone at FedEx and seeing what happened there (not once, but twice that I'm aware of), but he turned a blind eye to it in his rush to get a politically correct (read socalist) response to the new law.

1. Not your churches, they belong to God, putatively, or the Pope, ceremonially.

2. You gonna frisk me?

I'll guess they're WCC member churches:
