Lighten up, Francis. You obviously lack a sense of humor. Now, as to your contention that to defend egalitarian principle, not specific races or genders or behaviors, but principle, is Christ denying: pure poppycock. Do you not understand that advocating for equal protection to extend to all is, historically speaking, an advocacy away from history's atrocities? You believe, I take it, that positing same sex marriage under the auspices of equal protection is impossible for one who truly believes homosexuality misses the mark of God. Further, you believe that, being "unnatural," homosexuality is in a class of sin distinct from adultery and fornication as sexual sin. Because Scalia shared that view, you place him beyond reproach or disagreement. And, if anyone dissents from any of that, he or she denies Christ? Back up the truck, your load of manure might grow the roses, but it won't pass the smell test of history.

Homosexuality is a sin in a class distinct from adultery. Sodom and Gomorrah being reduced to cinders and every inhabitant killed as recorded in Genesis 19 is testament of that inescapable fact, and if that were not proof enough as Romans chapter 1 further confirms beyond question.

There are only two views where moral issues are concerned, the right view and the wrong view. The record establishes Scalia as one of the greatest jurists in the history of the Supreme Court. But past that he resisted the efforts of guile filled hot shot lawyers seeking to erode truth by eternally attacking same with recycled arguments reframed and repackaged ala the liberal, and in this case, the been there done that NOT, Sombrero. The laughable critic of great men of virtue and faith.
