This has emerged from campaign finance records, according to SFGate, an online voice of the San Francisco Chronicle, which says:
ProtectMarriage.com, a coalition that sponsored Proposition 8 [the proposal to change the State Constitution to ban same-sex marriage], reported the contribution to the California Secretary of State on Tuesday. The Washington-based conference represents the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States.
These evil homophobes have ganged up with leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Morons) and evangelical Christians, Catholic clergy and laity as “active participants in the coalition of religious groups working to pass the initiative”.
Donations totaling $1.4 million have made the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organisation, the largest institutional donor to the “Yes on 8” campaign.
What happened to the biblical edicts of “Love thy neighbour”? And “If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out”? And “Judge not lest ye be judged”?
But these primitives just don’t do compassion, equality and the love of humankind. Nope. Just a god that may or may not exist and a bunch of desiccated scriptures written by nomadic herders, whose ways are simply not relevant to today.

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
