There is no comparison<\/span> between Gay and Lesbian groups and hate groups<\/span> like the Nazi party and the Ku Klux Klan. As the mayor\u2019s comparison illuminates, the situation is quite the opposite and Mr. Dunleavy (with his vipor\u2019s tongue), the Catholic Church, and the Irish turn out being more similar to those despicable hate groups. Gays and Lesbians don\u2019t want to destroy Catholicism or Irish heritage. In fact, many want nothing more than to be a part of their religion and heritage. A true Christian (one following the words and deeds of Jesus) would extend his hand and love to all.<\/p>\n And on a lighter note, some broader thoughts on Catholicism in the modern day: At least we can say that the church is always prudent<\/span>, no rash shifts in course here.
