Too often it is necessary to expose the horrid misbehaviors of prelates such as Cardinal Dolan. You might recall that he was Grand Marshall of New York's last St Patrick Day parade that featured a gay group strutting their perversion. In light of that, it is refreshing to see a prelate taking his vocation as bishop seriously and standing up to mortal sin instead of celebrating it.
Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa OK recently pulled his diocese out of a partnership with the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice after the latter became a sponsor of the city's "gay pride" parade there last Saturday. He rightly concluded that continued alliance with this group would send a message of support for the gay agenda. In his words, "I'm the bishop and I have to be the bishop."
Well said, Bishop Slattery! Please stand strong and know that God will bless your fidelity. Many of your brother prelates would do well to emulate your example!
Bishop Slattery is already catching politically-correct flak for his stance. Please thank him and let him know you support him by visiting the diocesan website.
Fair enough...not all priests are gay who molest kids....you ran right to the gay part, but never imagined that two of the three people I knew who were molested were girls. The third was a guy and that priest may have been gay for all I know. I’ll say it again and whether it was Dolan who came here or Burke to La Crosse, the damage done to molested people is beyond understanding. None of these people have anything that resembles a normal life. So while I’m not too excited about gays marching in a parade, your initial comments basically equated the two. It’s still all black and white for most people not impacted, but once someone is, there are things that don’t compare. And no, I wasn’t the one molested if you were thinking along those lines. So Dolan came to Milwaukee and did some good things. Even though you hate him in New York, I’m grateful for what he was able to do here and I’ll leave it at that, hoping you never have a child or friend who is molested by a man (gay or not gay).
