Fantastic testimony by a Catholic woman in Maine, rebutting her bishop's anti-gay message:
By the way, here's a bit of the bishop's remarks, as quoted in Pam's House Blend:
Richard Malone, bishop of the Diocese of Portland, said he was speaking for 200,000 Roman Catholics in Maine in opposing the gay marriage bill.
"We support civil rights for all. But we are deeply concerned about the institution of marriage itself," said Malone. "We are concerned about the high rate of divorce and the increasing rate of single parents. Marriage is not merely a social compact. It is to ensure that the next generation grows up in a secure, balanced environment."
And just what, pray tell, does this have to do with same-sex marriage? Hmmm? (Except, of course, that married gay couples can provide secure environments for children.)
