Catholic hypocrisy at its worst

Just when Salt Lake City Mormons took their "baby steps" toward gay rights, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington is trying to crucify gays with threats of local social service cuts if the same-sex marriage law is passed.
Talk about hypocrisy! What a hideous insult coming from a church reeling in law suits for decades of covered-up sexual abuse by its priests.
According to The New York Times, Catholic Charities social services arm serves 68,000 local residents, including about a third of the city's homeless people, who go to city-owned shelters managed by the church. It also provides adoption and health care assistance. In the last three years, Catholic Charities has received more than $8.2 million in city contracts.
The bill has the support of the Washington mayor and is expected to pass and includes a measure that would not require religious organizations like the Catholic Church to perform same-sex marraiges.
What gay couple would want to get married in the Catholic Church anyway?
As a person who was raised Catholic and attended 12 years of parochial school, (and sent my two gay children to Catholic school) I am sickened and ashamed.
I always hope that some morning when the Pope slips into his red Prada shoes that he'll step into this century and lead the Catholic Church into a modern ideology that accepts homosexuality. In the meantime, you won't be seeing me at Mass.
