\u2026when I actually had Catholics furious at me for pointing out that Glenn Beck was an unstable \u201crodeo clown\u201d (as he described himself) and that anybody who ran after that guy or regarded him as some sort of deep thinker or reliable teacher was a fool. I actually lost readers over that proposition because, doncha know, Beck \u201chad the courage to say what our bishops wouldn\u2019t etc. blah blah\u201d. Incredibly, Catholics took that guy seriously.<\/p>\n

So, Beck suckers, here\u2019s your prophet urging you to pretend there is such a thing as gay \u201cmarriage\u201d.<\/a> And seriously suggesting that gay \u201cmarriage\u201d is not going to be a staging platform for an assault on the church.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Just stick with the Church\u2019s teaching and learn that. Don\u2019t fall for the notion that the Conservative (or Progressive) Infotainment Complex is interested in helping you learn truth. They are there to sell you beer and shampoo, make you into cattle, and stampede you where they want you to go. God respects you.
