Reply #77: Sandnsea, I don't disagree with you that there is plenty [View All]

of homophobia within the Catholic Church.

But there's a difference between being a passive homophobe and a vocal homophobe.

I don't excuse either.

But the difference between some ordinary Catholic who believes homosexuality is wrong because of religious reasons, and the person Obama is allowing to perform is this:

He stressed that homosexuality can be cured. Do you know how damaging that is? It sends a message to all of the people who oppose gay rights that homosexuality is a choice and it can be cured -- therefore, there is no need to protect gays people from discrimination in the work place, in housing, in allowing equal marriage and the list goes on.

This person performing for Obama is far more dangerous than the passive homophobic Catholic diocese member who may donate money or speak for one of the other candidates.

You need to understand the difference.
