Quote of the Week
I don't know that I have the power, let alone the incination, to start a weekly institution here at the Weblog, but if so the massive demonstration in Spain against new legislation that would allow gay marriage and adoption provides us with as good a start as any."This demonstration is the people's response to the government's provocations," said Fr. Jose Ramon Velasco. We're not against homosexuals but allowing them to marry degrades matrimony.
"And they shouldn't have the right to adopt because if those children turn out to be homosexual, who will be to blame, the government?"
But, you know, he's not against homosexuals.
Oh, and just in case you thought the floor of the US Senate was the only place for Nazi name dropping:
Velasco compared the bill to the beginnings of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
"Back then the majority of people also backed Hitler just like the majority back this law," he said. "I'm serious, give it time and it will destroy the moral fiber of Spain and the West."
Feelin' the love of of Father Velasco.
