Wait, actually I can only think of two off the top of my head.
“Bret Baier apparently values sodomy over the tenets of his Catholic faith.”
Not so! 1/3 of all gay male couples do not engage in sodomy. There are many loopholes to what the Bible says, more than enough to support gay marriage. Which is why the Catholic Church prohibits everything.
Anyway, one wouldn’t be much of a Catholic if one valued anything over the tenets of faith. It is the authority of faith one must value. That’s why the Pope has long been the most beloved and least listened to religious leader by their faithful in the world. Catholics teach that Jesus disobeyed the Ten Commandments and did work and healed on the Sabbath Day. “The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” He even was executed on accusations he claimed to be that which his faith did not permit to be claimed. But never did he make such claims to the Romans. Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, he said. “You get to speak”, he said to the Roman governor. You have to obey God in private, and the law in public, so that people come to the truth gradually, without mass destruction.
“O’Reilly, like Baier, is Catholic, yet LGBT ideology has lived more loudly in him, too, than his Catholic faith.”
Having watched and read Bill O’Reilly for more than a decade, I find that a rather uneducated statement. He doesn’t preach it, but he’s weird in ways only observant Catholics are weird. He’s the only pundit I observed who didn’t dance on Osama bin Laden’s grave, for example. If the things he says and when he says them make him a non-Catholic, then I think it’s the Church’s own fault for teaching that a non-verbal, non-anthropomorphic Holy Spirit possesses people on occasion.
The Church has become the victim of its own theology. The “gay lifestyle” must be rejected, it has preached. So, duh! Gays adopted the straight lifestyle, and even took up its former role of condemning the gay lifestyle. What is left for there to judge? But gay marriage must be rejected. Caesar must be permitted to protect the peace.

Only gay marriage should be allowed, and all non-Jewish religions are blasphemy against the Jewish God. The Church’s very existence violates “I am the Lord Thy God” and “Thou shalt have no Gods before Me” not to mention “Thou shalt not make unto me any graven images” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” which also makes the closet a lie.

Another non-issue but at least the cited opinion piece taught me a new term for insulting gays: ” romantic sodomy”
I’l not belabor the point that homosexuality was NOT the sin of Sodom, nor of Zeboiim.

You are right. The sin of Sodom was a lack of hospitality–a rejection of the stranger.
The remaining handful of Scriptural snippets used to clobber us also dissolve under similar scrutiny. And marriage was such a different thing in biblical times that it’s laughable for the anti-gay crowd to claim that what heteros have enjoyed for centuries has been “biblical marriage.”
Fox News has been evolving on LGBT issues for a while now. There are still some holdouts, but there probably always will be. I don’t intend to lose any sleep over them. If they’ve lost Fox News, they’ll soon lose everyone.

If they were evolving, they would be saying gay instead of el-jibbity.

The forum It’s called “CultureWatch” and it deals with popular culture and politics, If popular culture, of which media is a dominant part, is not of interest to you, what are you doing here?

Imagine if the mission were titled “GoblinWatch”, and, instead of discussing the improvement of the battlements on which warriors look for green-skinned marauders, we started discussing the latest in “furry” themed adult videos.
There are already enough sites that glorify pretty and untalented people while haranguing us with sanctimonious Regressive Left claptrap as they prepare to stab us in the back and sacrifice future generations of gays and lesbians to the cult of jenn-durr.

Yawn. FOX News is partisan spin and dishonest propaganda.

Why, because they don’t support male genital mutilation as a civil rights cause like you, you homophobic bigot?
