"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."

I wish you Americans good luck. Perhaps all priests should mention this petition from the pulpit on the coming sundays?
I’m not American but I don’t think a counter petition is the solution. As Catholics all we can do is pray and guide, or in this case speak loudly and clearly about what our true message is. It deeply saddens me that people really feel that our Catholic (universal) Church is anything but loving.

Signed.
Cathy–thank you so much for that quotation from Bishop Sheen. (I still think of him as Msgr. because he was a part of my childhood.)
No one could say it better.
May I re-post this on my blog?
It looks to me as if anyone can start a petition about anything. I just did. Does this actually impact on what the White House eventually does?
I have to wonder – like RuralVirologist above – about the value of “petitions” on “whitehouse.gov”. Let me throw a guess out there that this website allowing anonymous accounts and free postings could be simply a Machiavellian way of channelling people’s energy into what they think are useful endeavors – after all, you are more content once you’ve clicked the “sign” button on a petition you like, right? Perhaps at best this site may be a way for some White House aide to take the temperature of one little section of the US population, namely those who like online petitions.
I dunno if it really even matters, but I signed it anyways. I found the whole thing rather amusing.
Personally, I would love to get a straight answer (pun not intended) from the homosexual activists about one thing: are homosexuals who oppose gay marriage also homophobic bigots?
Shows you how much the anti-Catholics know. The government doesn’t publish a list of hate groups.
