[Archae]

“The whole purpose of marriage is to have a family,” he said. “It’s not about making people happy. It’s not about love.” -Bill Donohue, Catholic League president

1. His a miserable person so it does not surprise me he said that.

[Drale]

2. Ah the tennants of the Catholic Church for the last 1500 years

You shouldnt be happy on earth, that's what heavens for and you should have as many kids as possible and make sure those kids follow the teachings of the church otherwise we are not going to be able to tell you not to be happy anymore.

[Blue Owl]

3. So, you should have a family w/ someone you hate, or feel indifferent about?

Wow, that makes so much sense...

4. I tried to watch the video, but didn't get very far.

[TwilightGardener]

5. So...more of a business partnership? The product is babies?

[reformist2]

6. Wow, that's not the Catholic doctrine.

7. Says the man who can't even marry. nt

8. I'm tired of these fundamentalist freaks dictating who can and can't get married.

Really you only live once. You should find who makes you happy and be with them whether your partner is the same or opposite gender. And the people who think the same as this professional troll are the ones most likely to get divorced so they really should get no say in this debate.

9. Uh, last time I checked, one could have a family without being married.

Try again, Bill.

[Brickbat]

10. Because yeah, having a family is not about love. Does this fool even listen to himself?

11. Watching him fall into the Leviticus trap was comedy gold!

You'd think that such a famous Christian apologetic would know better!

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Who knew? Is Donohue a priest?

[Skidmore]

14. Donohue is a sociologist by trade and is reported to be divorced.

He has 2 adult children. I find it interesting that this man who goes all apeshit over the marital status of others has not been able practice what he preaches. Mr. Donohue lives in a glass house.

19. According to Wikipedia, he is divorced, and has 2 adult kids.

I can understand why we never see them.
If my dad was like Donohue, I'd stay in shadows too.

[RainDog]

13. What a pig n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. He should know; he's divorced.

But... Wait, I thought the Catholic Church was against divorce..?

16. Marriage: "Donohue is not about love." n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. Awww but he's so lovable. nt

[Sheldon Cooper]

18. Does this guy even hear what he says?

Kids growing up with parents who can't stand each other is a sure fire way to success, amiright Bill?

[ladjf]

20. I fell sorry for his spouse. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. No need, at least any more. He's divorced.

I can't imagine why....

[CBHagman]

21. Then when former high school sweethearts meet decades later...

...after both of them are widowed, they should not take up their courtship, become engaged, and then marry? What heartless man!

[Warren DeMontague]

22. The guy who thinks one person constitutes a "League"

isn't really in a position to be dictating semantics to the rest of us.

[brooklynite]

23. Well, that lets me out...

Married 25 years, but childless by choice.

Where do I turn in the Marriage Certificate?
