PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island’s Roman Catholic bishop on Sunday defended a tweet urging Catholics to not support or attend LGBTQ Pride Month events, saying it was his obligation to teach the faith “clearly and compassionately, even on very difficult and sensitive issues.”Diocese of Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin sparked a backlash beginning Saturday when he tweeted, “A reminder that Catholics should not support or attend LGBTQ ‘Pride Month’ events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Catholic faith and morals. They are especially harmful for children.”
While it’s correct that the Bishop has a right to express his opinion, as the leader of the church in his diocese for him to mention that this is harmful to children is not an edict of the church or the bible and it shows hypocrisy when you consider the Church’s history of child abuse.
I’m sure our resident bigots will agree with him but they are a bunch of dotards anyway.
