Right Wing Catholic Non-Profit Treads the Line of Legality and Ethics

…n woman, one clip felt particularly devastating. The folks at CatholicVote.com obviously forgot the Catechism’s call to “…[accept homosexuals] with respect, compassion, and sensitivity…” They leaped right over respect and went straight for dehumanization. They depicted two men at a wedding ceremony but cropped the photo to cut off their heads from the eyes up. But why crop the photo? Perhaps, CatholicVote.com thought that if they showed the eyes o…
