Ross Vs. Gay Marriage

Listening to Ross Douthat (a Catholic) try to explain that the institution of marriage will be damaged by allowing gays to marry just seems so eerily familiar.

Catholics On Geocentrism:
"The proposition that the Earth is not the centre of the world and immovable but that it moves, and also with a diurnal motion, is equally absurd and false philosophically and theologically considered at least erroneous in faith "

Catholics on Evolution:
"Our first parents were formed immediately by God. Therefore we declare that the opinion of those who do not fear to assert that this human being, man as regards his body, emerged finally from the spontaneous continuous change of imperfect nature to the more perfect, is clearly opposed to Sacred Scripture and to the Faith."

Catholics, apparently, consider changes to the status quo a threat to their faith.
Ross preaching at gays sounds like Bobby Drake's mom in the second X-Men movie: "have you tried...not to be a mutant?" While he goes on and pretends like he doesn't want gays to go away, or that he's totally okay with some sub-marriage civil union concept, the fact is that Ross would prefer that gays went right back into the denial closet where Catholics like most controversial issues to stay.
