I feel like no one is addressing the elephant in the room with #Biden. We have the chance to re-elect a #Catholic for the first time. This is America's chance to address years of anti-catholic prejudice. Let's do this!
Catholic priest in Clayton Park, Nova Scotia, Canada:
"Homosexual relationships, while they may feel very normal to the people involved in them, it's not in line with what God's plan for the family is," the priest said. "It's not true love, it's not true marriage."
And people ask why we need Pride and why there is no "straight pride".
Former nuns Gloria Branciani and Mirjam Kovac deserve credit for their courage in coming forward publicly and revealing their identities, as they tell the world about the bizarre religion-wrapped obscenities to which now-defrocked Jesuit priest Marko Rupnik subjected them.
At the heart of the abuse of vulnerable people that happens in religious groups globally: the assumption that men should have the divine right to control and use others.
