NY Republicans failed us! The Republican-controlled Senate in the Empire State voted 33-29 late Friday to approve same-sex marriage.
Gov Cuomo and Archbishop Dolan
And the Catholic Church failed us, too! Even the New York Times notes that,
“The Catholic Church, arguably the only institution with the authority and reach to derail same-sex marriage, seemed to shrink from the fight.
As the marriage bill hurtled toward a vote, the head of the church in New York, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, left town to lead a meeting of bishops in Seattle. He did not travel to Albany or deliver a major speech in the final days of the session. And when he did issue a strongly worded critique of the legislation — he called it “immoral” and an “ominous threat” — it was over the phone to an Albany-area radio show.
Inside the Capitol, where a photograph of Mr. Cuomo shaking hands with Archbishop Dolan hangs in the governor’s private office, the low-key approach did not seem accidental. Mr. Cuomo had taken pains to blunt the church’s opposition.
When he learned that church leaders had objected to the language of the marriage legislation, he invited its lawyers to the Capitol to vent their frustration.
Mr. Cuomo even spoke to Archbishop Dolan about the push for same-sex marriage, emphasizing his respect and affection for the religious leader. An adviser described the governor’s message to Archbishop Dolan this way: “I have to do what I have to do. But your support over all is very important to me.”
Speaking of marriage—real marriage between and man and a woman–Michael Voris quotes some shocking statistics in today’s Vortex.
“Not one area of Catholic life has not been laid waste by liberal modernists in the past 50 years. Not content with destroying the past and the present, they are insuring their destruction carries well into the future.”
