Sermon ping.
Six clergy I know from local parishes as well as they grew up in my neighborhood were at the MA state house when the Marriage Amendment was being debated. The arch-diocese would have been okay with Civil Unions. But, there was a group of over the top priests there shouting Civil marriage down. My friends new these guys fro Saint John’s Seminary and they were the flamers. If you want to destroy something. You do it best from within.
