Someone hung an antigay banner over the sign of a Philadelphia Catholic church, forcing it to issue a statement that it was not responsible for the offending message.
“God’s Marriage = 1 Man + 1 Woman,” it proclaimed, denouncing marriage equality.
Rev. Robert Feeney, of St. Bridget Catholic Church, shared that the sign “was NOT placed there” by staff or clergy. He added that all were welcome.
