I'm glad I didn't die...and that I survived to this day, when more people in my life decry you than support you for wanting to prevent my marriage in the name of some cold, removed Church and God One small question: Why has every single state, including California, that has put he choice up to the people, voted against Gay marriage?
If what she is saying is correct why aren't we seeing this passed by the electorateisntead of my legislators?

Why is it not ever pointed out that today’s progressiver movement holds still the same stance that they did back in the days when they revived and championed the KKK? The KKK was heavily anti-Catholic back in the days when the progressive movement championed them. Hugo Black who institutionalized ‘Separation of Church and State’ was a progressive (appointed by progressive icon FDR) and also a KKK lawyer.
The media loved trying to tar the TEA party with the tag of racism but fail to point out that the progressive movement is still targeting the same groups that it did back when it championed the KKK. The KKK was anti-Catholic and anti-Traditional values and todays progressive democrat is no different today.
How is it that we are being lectured by a abunch of progressive KKK democrats on how to redefine civil rights? Now they want to claim that being black is equal to being a homosexual? The progressive movement is still up to their same old games.

**’Cruel, Untrue’ Catholic Church**
And what about all the martyrs in
Rome
England
Vietnam
China
Mexico
France
Poland
Rwanda
current Middle East
and my list of countries could go on and on — even martyrs here in the United States.
Catholics didn’t kill these people — others did — sometimes — actually many times — it was government who did this.

Every state that voted against gay marriage did so with voters...that is, USUALLY a small percent of people OVER 21 and INTERESTED in the culture of our society.
The system works because the young don't vote much and the uninterested don't vote because they just don't care beyond flapping their gums.
Just an opinion.

Wouldn't it have been grand if ESPN stuck to sports, and not politics?
Now they are destined to die.

The cruelest thing the Catholic Church did was to let the homosexuals infiltrate the priesthood.

Why does a sports network give a platform to a feminine crackpot, who wants to bash a legitimate sports hero, simply because he disparages that, which under any light, is a pure oxymoron--a self-contradiction in the use of language. (People of the same sex are physically incapable of consummating a marriage, if you understand what marriage--as it has always been understood--means.)
The Leftists in the ESPN management need some form of come-upance. This sort of drivel does not take anything away from the boxer being targeted, of course, but why should legitimate sports fans, seeking to follow their favorite sports, be subjected to this sort of silly annoyance?
If I was a stockholder in Disney (the parent company), I would make an issue of this.

"I realized the Church was what I'd have to feint and duck; the Church's cruel, untrue dictates about me...." Look, an organization doesn't like you and thinks your behavior is wrong and sinful. So what? The Democrats treat me the same way for owning a small business. :)
I didn't try to change the Democrats, I just joined another group.

I remember those days of "tolerance." Do you think that the Catholic Church is still doing that?
To: Lazamataz
Wouldn't it have been grand if ESPN stuck to sports, and not politics?You are much too kind to them. This is not politics but intolerant Leftist fantasy--and utterly naked intellectually. (And unlike the Emperor's parade in the "alltogether," shouldn't have to wait for an honest little boy to say so.)
Cheers!

Do you think that the Catholic Church is still doing that? Doing what? Letting faggots into seminaries?
No.

Because ESPN and Bill Simmons are BO/leftist bootlickers...just like their comrades in the MSM.

The lack of public discipline as concerns public Catholics who support and facilitate abortion publicly is a scandal that will be looked back on as dwarfing the homosexualist priest scandal, in my opinion.
Any how this makes me like Manny P.

ESPN is PC Central...roughly a week ago; MLB had a 'breast cancer awareness day' or some such nonsensical observance...many players caved to political correctness, and were swinging PINK BATS at the plate. It was probably one of the busiest days in sports history as ESPN moderators/censors were removing/blocking any comments criticizing the pink equipment provided by MLB.
Rick Reilly is a punk. Just wanted to say that.

From the article:
Laurel Fantauzzo was a 2011 Fulbright Scholar to the Philippines. She's currently an Arts Fellow at the University of Iowa Master of Fine Arts in Nonfiction program. Ladies, she's also currently single.
I know it's lunchtime EST, but b-a-quadruple r-f. That's barrrrf..
...so the folks at ESPN would rather embrace queers than Catholics? Wow.
