The fact that these two.... let's call 'em "sects" and not "cults" for now...share an odd, peculiar ( even for American Christianity), suspicious, and almost single-minded obsession with open homosexuality says *something* about these organizations, but I'm not sure the article succeeds in making the case that their antipathy hinges on their shared history of child abuse.

I suspect it IS connected but I'm not sure pointing it out is the same as "connecting" the dots.

There's more work to be done if we're going to discredit them as insitutions... or even just discredit their activism ( if you can call it that) on these issues. Otherwise we run the risk of creating ad hominem arguments in response to their slanderous ones. Or even of... umm ...Catholic/ Mormon bashing. ( Oh, the humanity!)


I did get a kisk out of this:
>>>If I know one thing about Catholics, they don't like being linked with cults -- and most Catholics think the Mormons are a cult.>>>>>>

Right. Ya gotta keep an eye out on those crazy *cults*.
