Mexico City's Cardinal Carrera

At least 28,000 Mexicans have died – thousands of them murdered- as a direct result of drug trafficking in the country since January 2007. Yet the Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico has the nerve to called gay marriage worse than drug trafficking.  The court “considered the child like a dog or cat, without respect for its dignity,” the church said.

My boyfriend thinks I am too hard on the Catholic Church … it’s hard not be hard when we are continually faced with this litany of lunatic crap from the church’s hierarchy.  I mean really. One of these things builds family, stabilizes communities and creates happiness. The other tears apart familizes, divides communities and leads to widespread bloodshed.  What on earth is the Church thinking?

I know a lot of good Catholics. I really wish those good Catholics would do more to speak out against stuff like this.

Good luck to the 320 gay and lesbian couples who have married since the Mexico City marriage equality law went into effect in March. You’ll need it if you’re having to wake up to this nonsense in your newspapers.
