Court documents filed in the bankruptcy case for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee appear to have revealed over 8000 incidents of child molestation not previously reported. New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who is about to be elevated to Cardinal, is the former Archbishop Of Milwaukee. Some suspect Dolan of having hidden over $130M in church funds in order to avoid massive …

Did you know that the Ninth Circuit Court declared marriage itself to be unconstitutional? According to NOM, it did. Brown Brownshirt: I don’t know about you but my blood is boiling! Not only must our founding fathers be rolling over in their graves with the preposterous notion that marriage is unconstitutional, but the ruling is an affront to the millions …

Cardinal Edward Egan has withdrawn his apology for the child molestation scandals that were exposed when he was the Archbishop of New York. That 2002 letter of apology was read to all of the congregations under his control. A decade after that letter, the former archbishop of New York, and former bishop of Bridgeport, now describes the handling of the …

Conveniently timed to coincide with the renewed marriage equality battle, Maine’s Bishop Richard Malone is launching an “ex-gay” group. Malone announced in a press release the establishment of a local chapter of Courage, a worldwide spiritual support group based in Norwalk, Conn. The Rev. Kevin Martin, who serves St. Michael Parish in Augusta, has been appointed the chaplain for the …

Minnesota For Marriage has posted over $830,000 in donations, almost all of which comes from the Catholic Church and NOM, which likely gets most of their money from the Catholic Church. Feed the poor? Clothe the homeless? FUCK THAT. Hit the link and scroll through. (Via JMG reader Jim)

But she prayed and went to Mass every day! Anita Collins, 67, was wearing a crucifix and handcuffs at her arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court for grand larceny and falsifying business records — charges that could send her to jail for up to 25 years if she is convicted. The white-haired bookkeeper alternately prayed and glared at the news photographers …

As soon-to-be Cardinal Timothy Dolan leads fifty priests on a visit to the “Holy Land,” Catholic blogs, news sites, and even some mainstream media are speculating that he could become the first American pope. I can’t see how a Pope Dolan could possibly be more anti-gay that the former Hitler Youth now sitting on the Vatican’s throne. But we may …

The Archdiocese of Newark has issued a letter denouncing New Jersey’s pending marriage equality bill. It begins: Marriage as a union of a man and a woman has its roots in natural law. Throughout all of human history marriage has been held to be a union of man and woman. Marriage as a union of man and woman existed long …

“NOM congratulates Newt Gingrich on his impressive come-from-behind victory in South Carolina. We have had three different victors in state contests thus far — Rick Santorum in Iowa, Mitt Romney in New Hampshire and now Newt Gingrich in South Carolina. What all these states have in common is that they have picked candidates who have signed NOM’s Marriage Pledge. They …

Remember all that screaming and foot-stomping about how New York’s senators were bribed into voting for equality? Remember all the wrenching of clothes about how New York’s senators received huge campaign donations after voting for equality?

Colorado’s Catholic churches are handing parishioners a pledge card in which those that sign vow to oppose the pending civil unions bill. Bishop Conley [left] urged people to participate in the campaign because “it allows each of us to speak the truth – to ask the government to respect the plan for marriage God has given us.” “Doing so protects …

Read all about it.

“The left, which thought it had buried Santorum years ago, is going after him with a hatred unmatched. They hate him with that special ire reserved for a man’s virtues, not his vices. They will go after him not just to defeat Rick Santorum, but to smear his good name, to associate it with their own muck, to take a …

NOM’s Brian Brownshirt is in Texas with all the Not-Romneys of the anti-gay hate industry. Today he writes to let everybody know that NOM’s mysterious (Vatican) donor will be matching the last million dollars in donations.

“Let’s get real here! No major spokesman or leader in America wants to hurt gay people, or deny them the civil rights we all share. The right to redefine marriage is a made-up right, it’s not real; it has no roots in our constitution, our history, our traditions, or common sense. Being denied the right to call a same-sex relationship …

From a letter issued today by the heads of the Salvation Army, the National Association of Evangelicals, the Hispanic Christian Conference, the Lutheran Missouri Synod, the Mormon Church, the Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, and United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. (Plus other lesser-known religious hate groups.) By a single stroke, every law where rights depend on marital status—such as …

NOM’s blogger is tweeting out the link to the below New Hampshire robocall from CatholicVote.org. The call urges support for Rick Santorum, “the only candidate who supports the family.”

Huge props to Soledad O’Brien! Gingrich, of course, rolls right past her corrections and continues to lie.(Via – Igor Volsky)
