Whistling In The Dark

Thanks for the quote. Though I still fail to see the hatered and meanness and attack you're talking about. Are you speaking of the words "the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and asks that this natural order be respected" and "matrimony - which is the lifelong bond between a man and a woman"? That hardly seems like a direct attack to me. It sounds like the pope is laying out a philosophical and theological position, which leads to some a policy position on a controversial issue which is different than your position on that issue. You and the pope disagree on the gay marriage but, while you accuse him of hateful speech, you're the only one calling anybody names.

I'm just saying that what you are doing right now would be the same as if somebody linked to your post here with the link text "Eric Burns attacks Catholic Church, calls for pogroms in American cities" and pretends that this inaccuracy is excused by putting down the fact they're angry and don't need to be fair in the title.
