"Fr Z is a true phenomenon of the information age: a power blogger and a priest."

“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

As good as this video is, I’m afraid it won’t be effective. It doesn’t aim for the heart. I’m from MA and I remember our ads like this were hit with quick sound bites. Snappy slogans were on bumpers. Catchy rhymes were broadcast over radio waves. The killer was a nice teenager, dressed in suit and tie and short hair. He gave us his name and his accomplishments, i.e., academic, sports, etc. Then he said his parents were a homosexual couple and how wonderful they were.
Lecture style explanations don’t win over hearts, and that’s what’s needed.
May God grant the wisdom to all participants of this initiative to use the right words: for the language we use is of great importance here. For example this commentator speaks of a “traditional marriage”. I hope that is not a misfortunate term inasmuch as that it might suggest that some other kind of marriage might actually be possible. Perhaps it is better to speak simply of “marriage”.
Our fantastic catholic (small c) Gov. Martin O’Malley is bound and determined to get same-sex marriage passed into law again this year. Wherever it says Minnesota in the video, you can substitute MD. But, the people and thankfully Churches, many denominations, were able to put enough pressure on our reps last year that it never came out of committee. But they are at it again to be sure.
