God bless them. I wish the Catholic Church would back them up.
I got the impression they are evangelicals. The Church should back them up anyway because of this case's importance to morality in society. A great many priests and bishops do support them. But I agree that this is the time for the US Bishops as a group, as well as the Vatican (why not?) to stand up for folks just minding their own business, acting normal.
“I wish the Catholic Church would back them up.”
Me, too. They should. But don’t hold your breath.
It is over 40 years since the “Call to Action” and the CC gave up the culture war with the VII capitulation and murder of Pope John Paul.
I wouldn't want the support of Satan's church.
I'm curious. When have you ever noted the Catholic Church expending funds on such causes?
I ask because, when stationed in Italy, my unit sponsored an orphanage. It was run by the Catholic Church which equated to the presence of a priest and 3 nuns to take care of about 35 orphans. The place was in serious disrepair and we fixed/renovated much of the building to stop leaks and plug windowless holes, etc. The Church donated zero in financial resources to it - if the folks did not donate, it would stop existing. It struck me as a bit odd for what may be the wealthiest institution on the planet to be so stingy with "its" money even for good causes.
