Yeah – keep telling yourself equal rights for gays and lesbians is a fad. The denial I’m seeing on the blog and elsewhere is truly impressive.,

Greg, one thing I’ve learned is what comes around, goes around, and comes around again. Your great victory will only be temporary. I remember a time when I was young when no one would admit to being gay and the only closet we knew of was for putting away our clothes. Of course I will not live long enough to see things flip back around but it doesn’t really matter because it will. Being gay will lose its “cool” factor and those that are now living a gay lifestyle but are not really committed will fall away. Then people when wonder “Why did we think was cool anyway?” There truly is “nothing new under the sun”.

It’s official. You lost. Good luck finding someone whose civil rights you tried to take away interested in having a civil discussion with you.

Boy, talk about having an agenda! Pia said NOTHING about gay couples being inferior to straight couples, nor did she say ANYTHING about how they should be treated differently by our civil laws & being disadvantaged. In fact, she stated the same civil laws apply to both couples, gay & straight, with the ONLY exception being the term ‘marriage’ which cannot be applied to gay couples. Truth is truth, whether you agree with it, or like it!

Obviously you know little, to nothing about the Catholic church! There are thousands of ‘lay Catholic leaders’.

Why, why, why all the name-calling? We may have our differences, but come on! Can not people of faith be respectful in their discussion? How can we be a light to the world when we fail to behave rightly to fellow believers?

I just got on this site. I am not Catholic, but I was on here to get some information about the election and voting patterns. I am not clear why the comments below seem like an ongoing argument between a few people. If someone doesn’t subscribe to Catholic beliefs why are they on here? Everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe. The First Amendment guarantees us the right to be free from the thought police. It would be much appreciated if people learned to have a discourse without slinging insults. We get a lot of bad examples from elected officials but we don’t have to get in the mud like they do. You get a lot more bees with honey. Someone would not convince me to change my mind by insulting me or screaming at me. Rather, someone who approached me with a sincere desire to have a dialogue about an issue that was important to them would have a chance to have a conversation. Maybe if we started acting like civilized people who respect each others’ rights to have different opinions, maybe the politicians we elect would learn something.

Albert, you are right and St. Albert the Great is the new name for Rich, a troll who posts all over the place at CV. He gives himself the “airs” of a saint and I doubt highly that St. Albert the Great would ever agree with his position on gay marriage. Talk about irony. And please Albert, don’t forget that Rich is very, very spiritual as he is in the process of undermining Church teaching!
