Given the state of “music” in most Novus Ordo parishes, I would be in favor of the entire choir resigning in protest.

Meanwhile, the statements from outraged parishioners quoted in the excerpt show the utter lack of catechesis among Catholics in the post-conciliar church.

I think that liberal Catholics believe that Jesus would now support gay marriage for the following reasons:

1. He was not divine in any ontological way, but was rather a "progressive" human being.

2. Although progressive for his time, his views were in many ways culturally conditioned.

3. Because Jesus's views were culturally conditioned, we can imagine that if he lived in our time he would be as progressive as we (liberals) are.

4. Jesus's emphasis on love and compassion would cause him - if he lived today - to shed his Biblical views on things like sexual morality and abortion.

5. If Jesus disagrees with my liberal views on anything whatsoever, he cannot be either divine or worthy of respect; I retain a psychological need to revere Jesus, so his views must be brought into conformity with mine regardless of what we find in the New Testament. Some of my liberal need to bring Jesus into conformity with my views relates to my liberal desire to invoke Jesus as a weapon in the cultural and political battles of our time.
