When I was in 6th grade I got in trouble for cussing.  In an effort to clean up my language, I asked my teacher what the worst thing was you could call someone.  "Repulsive," he replied. I have always remembered that word, but have used it sparingly. 

What I am about to report is, indeed, repulsive. 

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, released a statement yesterday morning -- "Gay Activists Bully DC Priests." 

The instrument being used to bully is a Web site, ChurchOuting.org, which encourages people to report any priest, gay or straight, who may be "romantically involved," but only if that priest has supported the Church's position on same-sex marriage.

Any priest who wants to insure he will not be reported on the Web site can go ahead and sign a "Declaration of Religious Support for Marriage Equality."  

This atttempt to destroy the reputations of priests for supporting the teaching of the Church they represent could best be described by Dante as inhabiting some remote circle of Hell. 

In addition, the people behind this Web site are exposing themselves to significant legal consequences if a priest's name is listed by someone who simply wishes to injure him without any real evidence.  

Perhaps these legal consequences, and the civil damages that will follow, will shut the site down before anyone is hurt. 

Need it be said there are better ways to convince others of your point of view?
