"The AIDS Walk raises money for organizations that actively and publicly promote homosexual activity, thus cooperating in the activities of these organizations and giving them a kind of legitimacy in the public forum," Burke wrote to Nelson. "This is completely unacceptable."

Amen!! An American bishop who is correct, courageous and steadfast! Praise God. Send more!

[Loyalist]

PING.

A Catholic bishop actually performing his duty should not be so rare as to be newsworthy, but still, it is welcome news.

Fr. John Hardon was right about this bishop. I'm so glad to see he's on track to become a cardinal.

[John Doe]

Praise the Lord.

Patrick Flaherty, director of community relations for the Milwaukee LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Community Center, said the organization does not promote homosexuality among young people, . . .

I'd sure like to know what Patrick Flaherty's definition of "promotion" is. Project Q is for all intents and purposes the "Gay Only Scouts". Circle of Friends hardly limits itself to the promotion of HIV/AIDS awareness.

The LGBT played an active, agressive role in persuading the United Way of Milwaukee to drop their funding of the local Boy Scout troops, twisting the truth to make the Scouts appear to be bigoted homophobes when in reality the subject of sexual preferences was never even considered a issue. Now that they're losing funding themselves, we're treated to their howls of indignation.

The chickens have come home to roost . . .

Hammer said he did not agree with Burke's reasoning. "I don't understand why homosexuality is an issue in relation to the AIDS Walk - it's for people who are infected and affected by AIDS

BS&W! Ever since Ryan White the gay lobby has been using such movements as a vehicle to promote the legitimacy of homosexuality. At the same time they defame Reagan's slowness to move against AIDS as hostility to gays. Either AIDS is primarily a homosexual/bisexual disease or it is not. But gay activist talk out of both sides of their mouths and seldom are they contradicted.

Perhaps Fr.Hammer should change the name 'Aids Walk" Sorry, but the connotation implies to me a life-style walk that eventually leads to the physical devastation for which money is now being innocently collected to defray medical costs.

[a history buff]

Why doesn't this Catholic group, instead, form its own march and its own charity to care for those afflicted with HIV. A canny bishop would do well to get those on his left busy in efficiently caring caring for those suffering the wages of sin.

[BlackElk]

This Flaherty probably had actually Catholic ancestors with a name like that. Who funds his group and why are there so many jobs with paychecks to promote the lavender rebellion against human nature?

Now, Archbishop-designate Burke might eventually get Los Angeles and restore the faith there. It is vitally important now to see to it that his successor in La Crosse is as Catholic as is Raymond Burke.

Dear ninenot,

From what I'm reading about him, I like Bishop Burke. By the grace of God, perhaps he may be the next Cardinal Archbishop of New York, or perhaps Baltimore.

Dear BlackElk,

LA would work, too. ;-)

"Why doesn't this Catholic group, instead"

For that matter, why don't they put some effort into helping veterans who got Hep C from military medical practices or other guiltless mishaps?

Why all this emphasis on people who could have avoided getting a fatal disease just by refraining from sodomy?

[rogator]

He sounds like one of the good guys. - Deo gratias; alleluia, alleluia.
I hope his brother bishops either follow or at least, more realistically, stay out of the way.

[Maximilian]

Fr. John Hardon was right about this bishop.

I must have missed this. What did Fr. Hardon say?

[Maximilian]

A Catholic bishop actually performing his duty should not be so rare as to be newsworthy, but still, it is welcome news.

Well one bishop down, only 250 more to go.
