Brooklyn Catholic School Stands up for Marriage!

This is excellent news and true Catholic education--good for the church, good for the students, and good for the Congressman (h/t CatholivVote.org)

From the New York Daily News:

Assemblyman Joe Lentol's yeah for gay marriage gets him a nay from church

A Brooklyn Catholic school rejected a local assemblyman's donation - saying they couldn't take the cash because he voted to legalize gay marriage.

Officials at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Williamsburg sent back a $50 gift from Assemblyman Joe Lentol (D-Brooklyn) - following Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio's edict to refuse any honors from pols who backed same-sex marriage.

DiMarzio also told pastors and principals not to invite any state lawmakers to speak - whether or not they voted for the bill - because the diocese objects to the bill's dead-of-night approval.
