Loony Fundie Nonsense for the Masses
« The Boss Fighting the Bigots | Main | Diverse Families Exhibit Attacked by Pastor »
United States: A Roman Catholic diocese in western Pennsylvania has become a tad miffed with Reverend John Nesbella. They have ordered the priest to cease and desist distributing Medical Consequences of What Homosexuals Do
, an anti-gay sex pamphlet, not because it is blatant fundie propaganda, but because it borders on the pornographic
.
The Bishop (Joseph Adamec) was concerned that the explicit nature of the material might lead us to become part of the problem rather than part of the solution,she [Sister Mary Parks, a spokeswoman for the diocese that covers west-central Pennsylvania] said...
...Gregory Herek, a professor and expert on hate crimes and sexual prejudice at the University of California, Davis, said Cameron [discredited sociologist Paul Cameron, author of the pamphlet] twists or misunderstands others' research and uses poor methods to do his own surveys.
They almost got it right. At least they've given one windbag a rap over the knuckles for being an idiot.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising
, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, I'm afraid you'll have to leave them out for now, as things are a little b0rked. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
