The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has made some unexpected but encouraging pronouncements about the Catholic Church and gays:

"God never created anybody that he doesn't love. Anybody who doesn't show love towards gay and lesbian people is insulting God."

"They are not just homophobic if they do that – they are actually Godophobic because God loves every one of those people".

"We have to learn a new way in Ireland to live with our differences and for all of us to live with respect for one another. We all belong to one another and there is no way we can build up a society in which people are excluded or insulted."

Perhaps we could learn a new way in the United States as well.
