Catholic Bishops Rev Up Political Machine to Fight the Gays
posted on October 2, 2012John Gehring writes for Faith in Public Life that American Catholic bishops are fighting against the legalization of same-sex marriage, this despite the support for gay marriage among the majority of lay American Catholics. Gehring believes that Catholic bishops are placing their energies in the wrong place, especially since the number of Catholic marriages is dropping. “Bishops have enough housecleaning of their own to do with it comes to strengthening Catholic marriages and rebuilding trust in the face of clergy abuse scandals. They should drop the culture war politics,” writes Gehring.
