When did calling someone's religion "antiquated" and "fringe" become "fair and balanced"?

Technically, Gibson's church is "fringe," since it is not in union with the Los Angeles archdiocese and is outside the Catholic mainstream.

It would be interesting to find out how well attended this church is, and if it is considered a "Conservative Catholic" church. (whatever that might be) I mention this, because a few years ago, all churches that had a much more conservative, read "traditional" approach to services were seeing a marked increase in membership, whereas the more liberal churches were losing membership.

Okay, but you and I both know that when the "fringe" label is applied to something, especially in a religious conversation, it is media speak for nuts-o and looney.

No good Catholic could stay in union with Abp. Mahoney and his peculiar New Age Black Mass.

Los Angeles' Cardinal Roger Mahony made the following statement on February 2, 1986: The Ministry With Lesbian and Gay Catholics; its' primary goal: "to foster a spirit of community and fellowship among gay Catholics so that they can offer and receive mutual support in living out their lives of faith within the Church" .

Our Mission: To remind all Catholics, even those who discover that they are gay or lesbian, that through their baptism, they still remain full members of the Catholic Church, and Christ's' body, and are thus encouraged to participate fully in parish life.

The Ministry with Lesbian and Gay Catholics recognizes that all persons who are lesbian and gay are capable of living a full Catholic life in union with all members of the Church community.



Christopher Williams, a gay Catholic, states the following: "For the longest time I felt like a Godless outcast, but the MLGC has shown me that I can belong, fully to God's kingdom, feeling proud to be a Catholic. I only had to choose to. "I'm participating fully now in parish activities, and I love it!"
