A bit of spine in a bishop
is truly a fine thing.
The articles are filled with infuriating quotes, but the one that really got me: Patrick Flaherty of Milwaukee LGBT ....
"We think keeping young gay people HIV-free is a laudable goal," he said. "It's unfortunate that the bishop does not feel the same."
Au contraire, Mr Flaherty. It's the Bishop who truly wants to keep "young gay people" HIV-free- by persuading them that acts of sexual perversion are immoral and thus keeping them from engaging in such acts. You, on the other hand, would not dissuade them from such acts, and thus, since no other 'preventative' measures are foolproof, are letting such conflicted people flirt with death, spiritual as well as physical.
And then there is the breath-taking false naivete of Fr. Michael Hammer....
"I don't understand why homosexuality is an issue in relation to the AIDS Walk...."
Has this man been living in a cave for the past 20 years ? True, not all of those infected engaged in perverted acts, and things are somewhat different in other countries, but in the United States the correspondence between the two is marked enough that not seeing why it is an issue is making oneself deliberately blind- which seems to be something at which certain people excel.
