SUNDAY, MARCH 8
Saint Mary's Cathedral, 1111 Geary, San Francisco 10:00-11:30 am PROTEST Archbishop Cordileone’s “IMmorality Clause” on International Women's Day. Join with others this Sunday to take a stand to STOP the patriarchal degradation and subjugation of all women everywhere, and ALL oppression based on gender or sexual orientation! Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, long-time enemy of abortion rights and gay marriage, has imposed a “Morality Clause” on all the teachers in Catholic schools in San Francisco, which condemns the supposed “grave evils” of things like homosexuality, abortion, masturbation, and sex outside of marriage. San Francisco is home to over 90,000 LGBT people, and Cordileone and his dark ages politics are not welcome here. Come out and STAND UP! Love is NOT a sin, sex is NOT a sin, abortion is NOT a sin, and there is NOTHING SACRED about keeping people down. Reject Cordileone! Reject Patriarchy! Reject a Dark Ages Morality!
