<\/a>Remember, this is supportive of Gay Marriage (TM). \u00a0Not just gay rights. \u00a0Gay normality. \u00a0Post-Christian sexual ethics and morality. \u00a0This is the seal and signature of post-Christian morality. \u00a0For every person who supports actual gay marriage, there are ten at least who indulge in the rest of non-Christian morality. \u00a0And look at those numbers. \u00a0Given Pope Francis\u2019s fire and brimstone aimed at those who hold to more traditional and conservative Western values, one would imagine Catholics around the world were overwhelmingly there, and only a small minority of progressives held sway. \u00a0But the numbers suggest otherwise.<\/div>\n
