Here's a member of the SF Board of Supervisors who's drafted a resolution demanding that Archbishop Niederauer and Catholic Charities obey him as opposed to the Vatican. His argument seems contradictory, however. First, he accuses soon-to-be-Cardinal Levada of being gay, and says gay Catholics are what's wrong with the Church today.
You know, as a gay Catholic, Cardinal Levada is everything that is wrong with the Catholic Church," Ammiano told Board colleagues.
But then he says the Church should fill its ranks with gays, lesbians and persons of transgender:
It seems to me that if the Catholic Church is losing members, they should welcome, they should embrace gay and lesbian and transgender people who embrace that faith.
What now? Oh, I get it. He's the gay Catholic, not Levada. And because he's homosexual:
No one is going to tell me that I am not Catholic.
Deal, Dude! No one did tell you you weren't a Catholic. Levada said Catholic Charities shouldn't place children for adoption with same-sex couples; which, according to the opening proposition of the Ammiano Resolution
is a insult to all San Franciscans
(WHEREAS, It is a insult to all San Franciscans when a foreign country, like the Vatican, meddles with and attempts to negatively influence this great City's existing and established customs and traditions such as the right of same-sex couples to adopt and care for children in need;)
The resolution is non-binding. As are the rules of the English language.
