Bishop hits up flock to beat Referendum 74
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Yakima is hitting up worshipers in the pews of his 41 parishes to donate money to defeat Referendum 74, the same-sex-marriage measure on Washington’s November election ballot.
The Rt. Rev. Joseph Tyson, in a letter to pastors, deliverer 14 talking points and told them: “I am asking you to announce a special parishoner financial appeal” to boost the political warchest to fight marriage equality.
“In addition to informing ourselves and others about R-74, we can contribute to the campaign by using the envelope in this week’s bulletin to make a generous donation to Preserve Marriage Washington,” Tyson wrote.
Preserve Marriage Washington is the group fighting against approval of marriage equality in Washington. Washington, Maryland and Maine will vote on same-sex marriage in November, with indications that at least one and possibly all three states will approve it.
