Declaring that compromise will “crush Catholics,” a leader in the church revealed an effort by “80 Christian leaders—including four leading Catholic bishops and many Catholic education leaders,” to address what they described as a very serious threat looms with so-called SOGI laws.”

“SOGI” is their acronym for sexual orientation and gender identity, the “loaded terms” which Patrick J. Reilly wrote directly contradict Christian anthropology and deny truth, and run “contrary to Christian and American values.”

Reilly is president and founder of The Cardinal Newman Society, “which promotes and defends faithful Catholic education” and is a homeschool teacher. His message to readers in the National Catholic Register: “timidity and false compromise will bring ruin to our culture and our freedom to live and teach the Catholic Faith.”

...

Reilly also mentioned that the so-called threat to Catholics will be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court this term as it reviews the case of Gavin Grimm, a transgender student in Virginia who has been fighting for the right to use school bathrooms matching his gender identity, claiming Title IX offers that protection, as mandated by the Obama administration. “That interpretation of Title IX,” Reilly wrote, “clearly contrary to the original intent of Congress to prevent discrimination against women.”

4. Yet they don't seem to have a problem telling the rest of us how to live.

Hypocrisy and religion. Peas in a pod.

6. Indeed....

something about child rapists trying to define morality for others that seems somewhat less than honest or appropriate.

5. I wonder if they ever ask the question

If all the christians were wiped from the face of the earth, what would happen to their god??
It has always seemed to me that the church and their power is more important to them than their god

7. I wonder if there's some common correlation between these christians that would lead them to bigotry

Some social or cultural thing they all share that brings them to this sort of bigoted position?
