S.F.'s New Archbishop Really Hates Gay Marriage
Salvatore Cordileone, the current Roman Catholic bishop of Oakland and one of the masterminds of California's insidious and resilient Prop. 8, was named archbishop of San Francisco by Pope Benedict XVI.
Cordileone not only helped get the 2008 proposition that snatched marriage rights away from gay Californians on the ballot, he currently heads a subcommittee for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that is tasked with denying marriage equality. Cordileone raised millions for Prop. 8, gathered a religious army to vote in droves for the measure, and led a rally in San Diego against gay marriage that included people who try to "convert" gay people straight. After Prop. 8 narrowly passed, Cordileone was quoted as saying, "the ultimate attack of the Evil One is the attack on marriage."

The Catholic Church is going to be on the wrong side of history over marriage equality (marriage equality is a snowball going down the side of a mountain with fresh snow on the ground). Not all Christians, nor all denominations are siding with the Catholic Church and for good reason. Any religious organization to hold this belief that the Catholic Church holds on marriage equality, will only be a foot note in this time in history. So let it be written, so let it be done.
