US Catholic Bishops strongly in favor of discrimination
Yeah, it shocks me, too. But then perhaps the Catholic Bishops know a secret verse in the New Testament in which Jesus said, “Hate those who are not like you, and persecute them everywhere, and do not let them find jobs so that they suffer. It pleases me when people are made to suffer because they are different.”
Take a look at a letter objecting to the Bishops efforts to ensure that we can still discriminate against certain people and deny them jobs, housing, and the like.
I’m hoping that the Catholic church in America fail utterly rather than a little at a time.
Well, I am sure that the Catholic church does some good, but the American Bishops do their best to fight that.
UPDATE: I do understand that homosexuality is a mortal sin under church doctrine, something specifically forbidden—like, say, divorce, or using birth control. I want the Bishops to come out and say that persons who have been divorced can be discriminated against freely. But they don’t. Why not?
UPDATE: I have corrected the link, which previously took one to a youtube video of Plato’s Cave in the Republic (not totally irrelevant, but not the link I wanted).
Where is the Jesus quote from? I don’t recognize it.

I don’t know—we should ask the Catholic Bishops where they got the idea.

Ah, so it was sarcasm. Perhaps you should avoid broad smears of all Christians with your anger at the Catholic hierarchy.

Oh, yeah. I thought the sarcasm would be instantly obvious, particularly to Christians, It’s just that the “verse” seems to be what the Catholic Bishops are basing their actions on. I didn’t realize I was smearing all Christians. Apologies.

There: I think I’ve fixed it by revising the opening somewhat. How’s that?

Please double check the link. When I click on it I get a YouTube video about Plato’s cave.
That being said, thank you for your continued anti-Catholic bigotry.
