So screams the Vatican NOM in their final money beg of 2011. Governor Cuomo and the four renegade Republicans who made same-sex marriage a reality in New York are being wined and dined by Wall Street fat cats and Hollywood millionaires. Help stand up for marriage and the rights of ordinary New Yorkers. And at the same time, send a …

“The Chicago Gay Pride Parade has been organized and attended for many years without interfering with the worship of God in a Catholic church. When the 2012 Parade organizers announced a time and route change this year, it was apparent that the Parade would interfere with divine worship in a Catholic parish on the new route. When the pastor’s request …

Adding to the mountain of evidence that NOM is a de facto Catholic organization, the Catholic Herald has named NOM blogger Thomas Peters as one of their “Ten Most Amazing Catholics Of The Year.” Aside from his blogging duties for NOM, Peters works for the American Principles Project, the anti-gay organization created by NOM co-founder and “chairman emeritus” Robert George. …

Interesting choice of words from the all-Catholic, Gingrich-funding, Vatican lackeys at NOM.

In the face of growing calls for his resignation, Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George has retreated slightly on his claim that gays are like the KKK. “Obviously, it’s absurd to say the gay and lesbian community are the Ku Klux Klan, but if you organize a parade that looks like parades that we’ve had in our past because it stops us …

Activists are calling for the resignation of Catholic Cardinal Francis George after he declared that LGBT activists who protested the church were like members of the KKK.

Homofascists. Gaystapo. Those we’ve heard a million times. But this is a new one. Cardinal Francis George, the Archbishop of Chicago, this week told a Chicago news station that he agreed with a local Roman Catholic church’s objections to the city’s recently-adjusted Gay Pride Parade route passing by its doors and warned that the parade could “morph into the Klu …

The Star-Tribune reports: In an effort to promote the passage of the marriage amendment to the state’s Constitution, Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt wants Catholics to recite a special prayer during mass. He’s also urging area Catholics “to embrace Fridays as a particular day of prayer and sacrifice for the success of this most current struggle to defend marriage with …

Holland’s massive child molestation scandal continues to widen as investigators identify hundreds of perpetrators within the Catholic Church. Tens of thousands of children have suffered sexual abuse in Dutch Catholic institutions since 1945, a report says. The report by an independent commission said Catholic officials had failed to tackle the widespread abuse at schools, seminaries and orphanages. But the report …

Gingrich joins Romney, Santorum, Perry, and Bachmann in vowing to thwart the civil rights guaranteed to LGBT Americans by the U.S. Constitution. The only remaining holdout is Ron Paul.

Famed pop artist Banksy references the ongoing molestation scandals in the Catholic Church with a new sculpture on display in a London museum. Cardinal Sin is a bust with its face sawn off and replaced by blank tiles, designed as a response to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church. In a statement, Banksy said: “I’m never sure who …

“This is extremely unusual – that practically the entire budget of a $9 million national organization is funded by five mysterious individuals or entities. We can only conclude that NOM’s claim to being a grassroots organization representing thousands is phony. Tax returns don’t lie. NOM speaks for a few wealthy anti-LGBT donors and does not speak for the majority of …

This is today’s message from NOM’s blogger and Director of Cultural Affairs. Anybody wanna guess whose names we’ll find on those donor lists that NOM is so desperately shielding?

Former head Vatican exorcist (seriously, there IS such a thing) Father Gabriel Amorth is warning that practicing yoga will turn you into a Hindu. Cuz yoga is from Satan. Who is totally a Hindu. Or something. “Practicing yoga is Satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter,” Father Gabriele Amorth said this week. As for yoga, it leads …

New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan says he and other Catholic bishops didn’t strongly fight the marriage equality bill because they were deceived into believing it had no chance of passage. “We fell for the assurances of people that we thought were political allies that this wasn’t going to go anywhere,” Dolan told Arroyo, pointing out that there was “some credibility” …

In 2002 Pope John Paul II made some dead priest a saint because of the way his palms bled every day for 50 years. Just like Jeebus! Of course, that’s assuming that Jeebus also used carbolic acid to eat away his hands. Italian historian Professor Sergio Luzzatto has discovered documents including a letter from a pharmacist who arranged carbolic acid …

“Above all, it is an ethical problem. The change of behavior that it requires – for example, sexual abstinence, rejection of sexual promiscuity, fidelity within marriage – ultimately involves the question of integral development, which demands a global approach and a global response from the Church. For if it is to be effective, the prevention of AIDS must be based …

In a tweet that underscores NOM’s increasingly transparent operation as an arm of the Catholic Church, today their blogger Thomas Peters promised a “papist takeover.” (Of the United States, we guess.) Peters’ father is the U.S. advisor to the Vatican’s highest court and recently called for Archbishop Timothy Dolan to excommunicate NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his support for same-sex …
