(45,319 posts)opposed to marriage equality and who also takes political action against it. Oh, those terrible Duggars, they are not like 'real Christians'. Well while Josh Duggar was working for Tony Perkins at FRC, FRC and Perkins were invited guests of the Vatican at a 3 day conference against marriage equality in Rome, organized by the Vatican and starring keynote speaker and DU poster boy Pope Francis.
So Francis is good and Duggars are bad, but Francis invites Duggar's boss to plot how to best oppose marriage equality which is what Duggar's job with the Pope's pal is about.
DU and the faith community have not really made up their minds. When they see the full tilt low brow like Davis, they know it is bad. But dressed up like Francis and speaking in translated liturgical language they do not recognize the very same brand of bigotry and intolerance. They recognize Duggar, but not not his bosses or their powerful allies.
