Catholic Reason

While it is always incorrect to speak of Catholicism as a monolithic voice, it is rare that a Priest makes a pronounced and public statement AGAINST his own Archbishop. This particular Priest demonstrates, or more precisely states, what else is often mistaken: the divide between the religious and the political. Recent (as in, since I was born at least) politicians have striven to erase that line (see the Moral Majority or Values Voters), but this Priest re-draws it.

Stated far more eloquently than I generally write, he outlines how gay marriage is NOT a threat to the Sacrament of Marriage, how the Church should see its place in the debate, and most damningly (no pun intended) how the Archbishop over-stepped his bounds AND politicized the Church.
