Links for 04/29/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSw. MGB: I doubt the Repubicans will read Silk. I just wish the Bishops and Staff of the Religious Liberty group would read it. It is interesting that religion was on a short stick. Of course, unmentioned is the fact that the Masons were heavily involved for a long time and are still a respected benevolent association. As for the GOP desire for religious liberty for those who want to, in essence, discriminate against gay couples getting married - or see the right of marriage to be blocked to them as a class (they are going yes yes yes!) the reality is such a feeling is moral scorn, not religious liberty and it is decidedly NOT protected under the First Amendment - nor should it be.
The Politco report on the gay marriage argument shows that Kennedy is being his old self in stirring the pot, the Roberts is letting people know how he is voting - which ends the issue and Scalia is showing he is a better Catholic than a Justice. Its not even going to be close.
The Politico headline on Republican candidates is only funny if you have a dirty mind. In June, marriage equality will likely be national settled law. The candidates will likley express the greivances of their mob and may even promise a Constitutional Convention to overturn it (which could happen - but is less and less likely as it turns out that married gay people are no better or worse than the usual kind). In 2018, they may still be talking the issue, but in 2020 it will be dead. It is certainly my hope that, no this matter, neither the Catholic Church nor the United States Government will desire to continue to be a tyranny.
