THE CLONE ARMIES OF RPG
While the Ewoks are fighting on the Endor moon, the battle two levels up is going on with a self-proclaimed 'College of the Doctrine of the Faith', hupped up by Robbie P. George (RPG) and Nixon's felon, Chuck Colson.

In New Jersey, NOM (associated with RPG), turned out to be 'more Catholic' than even the Catholic Church in Jersey.
The NJ Catholic Church rep told the judiciary committee that they didn't oppose NJ's Civil Union law. The NOM spokesman, on the other hand, said they did, suggesting that the relationships of committed gay couples were the same as any other relationship (he gave examples that I forget, and the testimony wasn't transcribed - the viewpoint itself is not new ground, however).
For the RPGs of the world, the white-washed tombs, who have done untold spiritual violence to gays and lesbians across time and around the world, may God have mercy on them.

Mother Church knows this soft ground, and that is why their statement about it is a coercive political one, not a subtle or terribly informed theological one. Of course, to do so isn't to adopt any obvious scriptural stance, but they ignore that.
