After Friday, It's No Longer Business As Usual

Not a word was said at Mass today about the SCOTUS decision to legalize same-sex marriage across the country on Friday, June 26, 2015.  It was business as usual.  Reacting to news on Friday has its challenges. But plenty of Catholic bishops reacted.  Did yours?  What does your diocesan's web site home page look like this morning?  Let's take a look at a few:

My own diocese - nothing.

Diocese of Manchester: catholicchurch.org

Archdiocese of Boston, in the ground-zero state; see red circle - sort of lame:

Archdiocese of Boston: BostonCatholic.org

USCCB's - same lame-ness, although two references:

USCCB: USCCB.org

Now, www.marriageuniqueforareason.org is an initiative of the USCCB: Nothing on the home page, but I did find this:

Now, here are some mainstream media (MSM) newspaper front pages on Saturday, June 27, 2015:

The differences are shocking are they not?  The Catholic Church is not keeping up.  Michael Voris from ChurchMilitant.com sumamrizes it well.

We should test the fairness of the MSM coverage of this issue by publishing full-page ads of this image from /www.marriageuniqueforareason.org in the New York Times and Washington Post, to name a few.
