Obamas Faith-Based Office appointee, Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, has recently written a rather striking piece for the Huffington Post, Should DOMA Dogma Be Law? Wilson fairly unloads her cartridge, implicating Timothy Dolan and the Catholic Churchs teaching on gay-marriage as directly or indirectly responsible for propping up prejudices, arson, beatings, family rejection, suicide and job dismissal.
Bishop Timothy Dolan, head of the Catholic Bishops in the U.S., sent a letter to President Obama full of veiled threats. And like most threatening letters, the bishops words actually pulled back the curtain on the hierarchys not-so-veiled efforts to impose Catholic dogma on all U.S. citizens . . . Bishop Dolan, hit the restart button on the Gospel.
One wonders, however, whether it is the Church that is “imposing” dogma, or gay-marriage advocates. A better word might be sustaining, for on the whole, marriage as the union of a man and woman has always been universally dogmatic.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
