Tell these Bishops to stay out of the gay marriage debate (Boston.com Poll)
Bishops push for a vote on gay marriage

The four Roman Catholic bishops of Massachusetts are encouraging the state’s 3 million Catholics to fight gay marriage by going to the State House Nov. 9 to encourage their legislators to vote on a same-sex marriage ban. In addition to the Catholic Church, many evangelical churches and black churches have rallied to overturn same-sex marriage.

Do you think this is something religious leaders need to focus their efforts on?

No.
There are plenty of other issues that are more important to religious teachings and they should focus more of their efforts on that.
77.9%

Yes. Gay marriage is one of the biggest threats against their teachings and an organized effort is needed to fight it.
22.1%
Total votes: 828

1. As a Catholic myself, I'd like to see the Church spend more time
worrying about pedophilia and wayward priests and the utter hypocrisy of the Vatican and that beast masquerading as Pope rather than the personal business of others.

Just saying.





Oh, and I voted.

No. There are plenty of other issues that are more important to religious teachings and they should focus more of their efforts on that. 78.3%

Yes. Gay marriage is one of the biggest threats against their teachings and an organized effort is needed to fight it. 21.7%

2. What is wrong with these sex-obcessed Catholics anyway?
Is it because the two most religious people in my family are a Nun & Deacon - and are both gay?
