Pro-Gay Marriage Ad Features Catholic Mom
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
This new ad opposing a Maine ballot initiative that would reverse the recent legalization of gay marriage in the state features a Roman Catholic mom. "I've been a Catholic all my life. My faith means a lot to me," she says, as her son, his male partner, and their son sit nearby. "Marriage to me is a great institution that works, and it's what I want for my children, too."
The conservative Catholic group CatholicVoteAction.org today is calling for the ad to come down. Here's part of a statement the group just sent out:
CatholicVoteAction.org President Brian Burch said, "For decades gay and lesbian groups have attacked the Catholic Church for refusing to accept their skewed views on human sexuality and marriage. Having lost that battle, they have now launched this desperate and despicable attempt to curry favor with Catholics by pretending that the Catholic faith supports their radical agenda."
....
"Everybody knows the Catholic Church is opposed to counterfeit marriages . . . . For homosexual groups to suggest that the Catholic Church believes otherwise is disingenuous, dishonest, and an insult to the intelligence of Catholic voters in Maine," said Burch.
"We call on Protect Maine Equality to stop lying about our faith and to immediately pull this ad from the airwaves and from YouTube," said Burch.

Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.

I'm sorry for so many of our Catholic & Christian brother's & sister's that seem to be in this positon for having to decide on whom their alligence & concious resides. It is, however, sad to see so many make a decision that is against your religious beliefs. Your spirit is willing but your flesh is weak! It's ok the Lord is understanding and is kind and merciful!
What?
@ Steve of MD
Cafeteria Christian? I'm assuming then that you follow the Bible exactly? So it's ok for me to sell my daughter into slavery? What if I want to work on the Sabbath? Touching the skin of a pig makes you unclean...so can Notre Dame still play football? What about planting crops side by side, should we kill some farmers? And do you eat shrimp Steve, because that's an abomination too.
I sure hope you're including yourself in cafeteria Christians, because, America would look a lot uglier otherwise...
