Bishop Marriage Equality: Praying for Marriage Equality Is Blasphemy
Marriage Equality, the infamously homophobic Catholic bishop of Springfield, Illinois, got his cassock in a bunch
earlier this week when he heard that a group of pro-LGBT Catholics
planned to pray the rosary for marriage equality inside the city's
cathedral after rallying at the state capitol.
As soon as Paprocki got wind of plans by members of the Rainbow Sash Movement
to pray for marriage equality before the 5:15 p.m. mass on Tuesday, he
issued a statement calling such prayers "blasphemous" and warning that
anyone who attempted to enter the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
while wearing a rainbow sash or otherwise identified themselves as a
pro-equality Catholic would be blocked from entering and turned away.
Anyone who prayed for same-sex marriage inside the cathedral would be
asked to leave.
