Apparently I'm not as mature as I thought I was, because I giggled out loud seeing the bride and groom pic on a gay blog site.

BTB has of course printed the full text of his remarks the other day. He takes a while to get to the news, that he opposes the bill on theological ground, first giving the usual boilerplate of saying the government has a duty to protect morals, and then giving the standard RC policy on homosexuality (rather reactionary) -- but he did eventually get to the news. My guess is he would have said the same thing in a sermon. What I find disturbing is that priests would be so obsessed that the issue of homosexuality would the theme of a Christmas sermon.
