Recently Newsweek magazine offered
this lament: “Pope Francis still is against gay marriage even as the U.S.
Supreme Court hears arguments.”
Wait. What?! Did they really write
that? Are the editors at Newsweek shocked that the Pope is Catholic? Are they stunned
that a man from Argentina, who now lives in Rome and oversees a worldwide
religion, is not all that concerned with court cases in the United States? Is
there any wonder that Newsweek magazine was sold in 2010 for exactly one
dollar?
On the other hand, maybe the editors
at Newsweek assume all Catholics are just like the students at LeMoyne College,
a Jesuit school in upstate New York. Cardinal Timothy Dolan was invited to be
the commencement speaker at graduation this year, but a group of students
started a petition to disinvite the Cardinal because of—wait for it—his homophobic
opposition to same-sex marriage. So the Catholic Cardinal holds the Catholic
view on marriage, and this causes Catholic students at a Catholic college to
have a hissy fit. Umm, right.
