GREAT information regarding what the city of Washington DC is attempting to do to the poor and of course, rather then take the fall, they place ALL blame on the Catholic Church. Folks, my fear is that this is the same direction the liberals are going to take us, in regards to health care if they try to force the Catholic hospitals to perform abortions.

From Catechism On Call

Pay careful attention to what’s happening in Washington D.C. with the Catholic Church and the D.C. City Council right now. This is a case where a perfect storm of liberal political fundamentalism and anti-Catholic sentiment have coalesced over the issue of recognizing gay marriage in the District.

Also, follow how the anti-Catholic media are consistently telling us that the Church “is making threats” or “getting involved in politics” because of its resistance to the city’s pressure. Nonsense. The reality is this: if Catholic Charities in D.C. is forced to help gay “couples” adopt children or to pay marriage benefits to gay “married” employees, the Catholic Church — as a matter of conscience — must cut ties to the city.

So who will suffer in D.C. if the City Council decides to force the falsity of gay marriage on Washington? The homeless and the poor, of course, who are overwhelming served by the Catholic Church in D.C. Once again, we see that liberals claim to be “for the poor,” but ultimately they are more interested in liberal orthodoxy (the normalization of sodomy is a real passion) than anything else.

Our great cyber priest, Fr. Z., commented on a Washington Post article on gay marriage and the Church in D.C., he wrote:

“This seems to be the scenario.The Archdiocese is presently doing its part to help homeless people. The City is going to press the Archdiocese to do things which are morally repugnant and contrary both to Scripture and the natural law. So, standing there with its hands open in both directions, waiting to help the poor, it would actually be the CITY which would cut off funds to help the Archdiocese, because the Archdiocese refuses to condone sodomy. Get that? The City would suspend the funds. Therefore the liberals, to pressure the Church to violate the interior logic of Christianity, say that the Church wants to “harm” the poor.”
