Great article. Now let's look at the facts:

Countries where sodomite marriage is legal -- total of 22 countries -- or parts of countries:

Country % Catholic Legalized Year
Argentina 92% (20% practicing) 2010
Belgium 75% 2003
Brazil 64.6% 2013
Canada 38.8% 2005
Denmark <1% 2012
Finland <1% 2015
France ~51% (official polls
not taken
)
2013
Iceland 3.5% 2010
Ireland 84.7% 2015
Luxembourg 87% 2014
Mexico 82.7% 2009 - 2014 (by state)
Netherlands 28% 2001
New Zealand 11.6% 2013
Norway 1.8% 2008
Portugal 81% 2010
Slovenia 57.8% 2015
South Africa 7.1% 2006
Spain 94% 2005
Sweden <1% 2009
United Kingdom 8.6% 2012 England & Wales
2012 Scotland
not legal Northern Ireland
United States 23.9% (varying depending upon state...starting in 2008 moving forward)
Uruguay 47.1% 2013

So 11 out of the 22 countries where it's legal are not majority Catholic (irrespective of how many people are actually "practicing" Catholics or "cultural" Catholics). Doesn't sound like a wide majority (as the author would have us believe).

Bottom line is that it's not quite as simple as the author attempts to make it...when you actually look at the facts. It's disgusting that any Catholic country...or that any Catholic...would support such a perversion.

But we ought to have our facts straight here.

(BTW sources for data: legalization dates and countries where legal are from Wikipedia; % Catholic are from CIA World Fact Book)
