Catholics for H8

[daddytodd]

OK, I'm like the LAST guy in the world interested in sticking up for the Mormons.

But, really, in light of this statement, isn't it time for Prop H8 opponents to start picketing the Catholic Church as well?

A brief quote:
"Catholics stand in solidarity with our Mormon brothers and sisters in support of traditional marriage — the union of one man and one woman — that has been the major building block of Western civilization for millennia.

"The ProtectMarriage coalition, which led the successful campaign to pass Proposition 8, was an historic alliance of people from every faith and ethnicity. LDS were included — but so were Catholics and Jews, Evangelicals and Orthodox, African-Americans and Latinos, Asians and Anglos.

"Bigoted attacks on Mormons for the part they played in our coalition are shameful and ignore the reality that Mormon voters were only a small part of the groundswell that supported Proposition 8."
                                      --Bishop William Weigand, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento

Picket ALL churches/synagogues/mosques/temples that conspired together to steal our rights. Fair is fair!

There's Catholic churches EVERYWHERE. You don't have to go to, like, the main one...

Well that is what the protests at mormon temples are doing. The protest wasn't at the small mormon place in menlo park, or at the small one in san francisco. It was at the big gigantic one in Oakland. Visibility is key!

So, the equivalent would be protesting at the Cathedral in SF (which I understand happened the other day - YAY!)

I'm not saying "don't be angry" or "don't picket the the Mormons."

I'm trying to suggest that we should BROADEN our attacks. Others deserve to witness our anger and disgust.
