Ireland leads; Catholic Church dead last in race for human inclusion and equality
Congrats to Ireland for being the first country in the world legalizing gay marriage by popular vote. In spite of rabid opposition by the Catholic Church, 62% of Irish voters said YES to marriage equality. The vote wasn't concentrated in pockets of human decency; 42 of 43 voting districts passed the measure.
The vote adds an extra helping of raspberries to the Catholic Church, which is becoming more and more isolated in its hateful, discriminatory and self destructive opposition to marriage equality.
Maybe its time for all church attending Catholics of good will to substitute a note for greenbacks in the church envelope. It should say something like: "NO MORE MONEY TILL YOU TRULY ACT CHRISTLIKE AND EMBRACE THE ENTIRE HUMAN FAMILY."
