The more things change the more they stay the same within the Atlanta archdiocese.

Earlier this month Pope John II appointed Bishop Wilton Gregory to lead the Atlanta archdiocese, replacing Archbishop John Donoghue who was the topic of a 09-17-04 post entitled "Say what? Vote pro-choice, you'll go to hell; molest kids, hey, we won't tell -- Catholics told to let abortion guide vote over all other issues."

Atlanta’s new archbishop is letting the world know that he strongly opposes gay marriage; additionally, he has urged politicians as well as clergy to support a federal marriage amendment as well as state amendments defining marriage as solely between a man and woman.
