The marginalized pay for the church's ideological battles by Jamie Manson
My response: The bishops are looking in the wrong place. Their greatest danger is that the people who fund them will eventually start demanding gay marriages for their children and siblings, which is why they are so afraid of a right to civil marriage. They also fear that their own priests, half of which are gay, will quietly bless these unions - or seek permission to leave the priesthood to get married themselves - thus forcing an end to mandatory celibacy and resistance to women's ordination. Gay marriage is the straw that may break the camel's back.
