Next Wednesday, Gov. Quinn will sign into law the marriage equality bill that recently
passed in Illinois. Right after that signing, a Catholic bishop will have his own response:
Springfield Bishop Thomas John Paprocki announced Thursday he will preside over prayers of "supplication and exorcism" in response to the state's pending legalization of same-sex marriage, which the bishop said "comes from the devil and should be condemned as such" in a statement reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
It seems that the good bishop missed the non-judgmental attitude of his boss, the Pope.
Paprocki's statements are in line with the response from the Catholic Conference of Illinois to the marriage bill's passing. The conference said same-sex marriage "undermines an institution that is the cornerstone of a healthy society."
My question for the bishop: since when does equal justice for everyone undermine anything?
