Same-sex marriage according to our Bishop friend.

So let’s file this under CRAZY! Bishop Thomas John Paprocki from Springfield, Illinois decided to have an exorcism in response to Illinois same-sex marriage law.  For real.  This is not a joke.

“I exorcise you, every unclean sprit, every power of darkness, every incursion of the infernal enemy, every diabolical legion, cohort and faction, in the name and power of our Lord Jesus Christ,” said the evil idiot.  Seriously shit for brains? Are you THIS stupid? Why don’t you focus on doing an exorcism on yourself? You are CLEARLY filled with hate and evil.  This just makes us SICK.  Hopefully the Catholic church will condemn his actions although we doubt that will happen given their history of ethics…

Here are some more words of wisdom…“Our prayers at this time are prompted by the fact that the governor of Illinois today is signing into Illinois law the redefinition of civil marriage, introducing not only an unprecedented novelty into our state law, but also institutionalizing an objectively sinful reality,”.  Just so we are all clear.  It is a sin for gays to get married but it is not a sin to openly discriminate and hate an entire group of people.  This is no different than the anti-Jewish rhetoric spewed in Nazi Germany.

He then went on to say this his comments “are not meant to demonize anyone, but are intended to call attention to the diabolical influences of the devil that have penetrated our culture, both in the state and in the church.”.  So the DEVIL is causing gay marriage? Hmmm…you may want to take a look in the mirror if that’s what you believe.

We think this was a sad publicity stunt by the Bishop to get some PR for the Church.  Not sure he is getting the right PR though…

Does this make you sick? Feel like giving him a piece of your mind? Please keep it classy folks. Just say what is on your mind.  We left him a message asking for a call-back 🙂
