I uised to closely follow the arguments for the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Catholic Church. Like with the gays, there are a lot of bright, verbally agile advocates out there: there was a lot of fancy Biblical exegesis, and a lot of historical digging, reassembling, reassessing, reconfiguring.
Then one day, I heard a feminist nun give a supposedly Scriptural pro-women-priesthood talk. Another nun, sitting next to me in the audience, grinned and whispered to me, "That's what I love about Sr. Virginia Ann. She makes it all sound so plausible.
A little shock went through me when I realized that she herself didn't think it was true, and didn't even care whether it was true: it was enough, for her, that it was "plausible."
I think that it all goes back to an epistomological assumption, that there IS no Good or Evil, Right or Wrong, True or False: all there is is a struggle for power.
And this guy is absolutely correct when he talks about the homosexual activists can count on the support of anyone who prefers to be outside of Judeo-Christian sexual morality.
If the Church can be forced to sanction homosexual couplings, how could it ever condemn fornication or even adultery?
Almost all of us here have had that moment, when a trusted leftist mentor or friend lets the mask drop for a moment.
If that's enough for you to change, you never had what it takes to make it as a leftist.
