3. Bopp is another anti gay and very anti choice crusader, much like Francis.

Bopp is a lawyer so he rarely indulges in the demonological language Francis favors, so less crap about gay people being an 'Attack on God' but the exact same message.
In his native Argentina, Francis was a driving force on the anti equality side, just as Bopp is in Indiana. He wailed and wept and called gay rights a product of 'the Father of Lies' and all sorts of Medieval bullshit.
Of the two, Francis' influence is more pernicious, more widespread and harsher in tone. They are both anti gay and anti choice crusaders. One in a suit, the other in vestments and frocks and whatnot. But the same bigotries and the same political goals.

At least people laugh at Bopp, too many cheer for Francis who says and does the same and worse.

All you people who want your civil rights are just intolerant. LuvNewcastle Jan 2014 #1
