Church loses, Love wins

Last Friday the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops lost on the issue of gay marriage. As good Catholics we have not choice but to be ashamed. We're ashamed because the Catholic Church lost today. Just as it does Cardinal Sean, this saddens me. But maybe the USCCB can take some comfort here.

Last Friday, love defeated hate. And God is love. So maybe that means God won. To the USCCB this may not be as exciting as if they had won. But to the 60% of US Catholics who support gay marriage, to the 60% of us who don't denigrate some forms of love as less than others, it's more than enough.*
