That "loving Jesus means hating gay people" is "proclaimed in Christian churches and on Christian television and radio broadcasts."
So declares Dan Savage in his review of Jeff Chu's "Does Jesus Really Love Me: A Gay Christian's Pilgrimage in Search of God in America" -- on page one of The New York Times Book Review.
Who is foremost among those who have made "anti-gay bigotry seem synonymous with Christianity"? The Family Research Council and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
So says Savage. And who is he? A cradle Catholic who says he "was in church every Sunday for the first 15 years of my life. Now I spend my Sundays on my bike, on my snowboard or on my husband."
One gets the point. And in handing this review to an apostate Catholic and atheist homosexual, the Times was nailing its anti-Catholic colors to the mast. Yet what Savage alleges and the Times published is a lie.
No true Catholic church can preach that Jesus hates gays. "Love your enemies" is the message of Christ. Hate the sin and love the sinner is taught as gospel truth in Catholic schools.
This has been Catholic doctrine for 2,000 years.

No, it's wrongophobic, evilophobic, immoralophobic.
True Christianity is rarely seen today. True Christians are busy helping ease the burdens of others, not worrying about the sins of others. That's for God to handle.
I disagree 9:08. I doubt that anyone can argue true Christianty is most apparent in those of the Anabaptist faith such as Amish, Mennonite, etc where shunning the sinner is a practice.
