I actually couldn’t help laughing when I read about this – and I’m a pastor! In the fight to defend traditional values this story pretty much tells you how we got to where we are today.
After unknown persons, probably upset about California banning homosexual marriage, spray-painted swastikas on a San Francisco Catholic Church, the pastor was upset. But not for the reason you might think. From KCBS, out West, comes this gem:
Vandals may have marked up the wrong church Saturday night in an apparent revolt against Proposition 8 supporters.
Black spray-painted swastikas marred the front of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in San Francisco’s Castro district. Though the church itself is gay friendly, the proposed ban on gay marriage had support from prominent Catholics up to and including Pope Benedict.
Pastor Steve Meriweather told KCBS his parishioners actually share the vandals’ sentiment against Prop 8. “I think it’s unfortunate that they selected our community to attack,” said Meriweather, “because it’s the wrong one.”
If only they had asked the good pastor first he might have directed them to a church more worthy of being vandalized!
