CIVIL MARRIAGE

AND CHURCH CLOSINGS

May 26, 2004 :

To the Editor,

Gotta love that Catholic church hierarchy and its misplaced priorities. Today they announce the closing of 65 parishes. A few months ago they managed to find enough cash to do a million piece mailing to try to prevent loving same-sex couples from marrying.
