Catholic Bishop Bars NY Legislators from Parish and School Events

Thursday, June 30, 2011
By Michael W. Chapman

In response to passage of a same-sex marriage law in New York, the Catholic bishop for the diocese of Brooklyn, Nicholas DiMarzio, has asked all Catholic schools to reject any honors bestowed on them by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and lawmakers who voted for the bill. The bishop has also asked all pastors and school principals to not invite any of the pro-gay marriage lawmakers “to speak or be present at any parish or school celebration.”

Slap on the wrist.

In the comments is the real question: why won’t the Church excommunicate Cuomo

(some people even ask the same for his live-in whatever you want to call her)?
