This isn’t exactly the news with which I wanted to begin the work week, but here it is, anyway.

Bishop Richard Malone of Portland– whose diocese covers the entire State of Maine– has asked allbish parishes to take up a second collection to support Stand for Marriage Maine. The organization is the principal force behind a November ballot initiative in which voters will decide whether to overturn the state’s new same-sex marriage law, which was approved by the legislature and signed by Catholic Governor John Baldacci in May.

Pax et bonum.
