No turning back

If New York State approves same-sex marriage it will effectively break the opposition while simultaneously stick it to California. Win-win.

Meanwhile, I see the ol' bromides are coming out:

New York's Archbishop, Timothy Dolan, reiterated his and the Catholic Church's opposition to gay marriage on Sunday, vowing to oppose "any radical bill to redefine the very essence of marriage."

"One has to wonder why the proponents of this radical redefinition, who claim overwhelming popular support, would not consider" a referendum "on such a drastic departure from traditional values?" he wrote on his blog.


Yeah, and you claim the Almighty's support on all sorts of shit, so why not bring a vote on birth control and if you lose in New York you have to shut up about it? Didn't think so.

I'm sure the supporters of Jim Crow laws voiced similar sentiments.

I think the late great Earl Butz, former Secretary of Agriculture under Richard Nixon, said it best about priestly opinions about marriage, divorce, birth control, etc.

"You no play-a da game, you no make-a da rules!"

But hey, if we want some advice about the best way to bugger choirboys, we'll be sure to ask the priests.

Almost (but not quite) awe-inspiring to see an archbishop who still thinks the Catholic Church has any credibility on any subject whatsoever....
