Obama Appointee Harry Knox Unfit to Serve
Contact: Susan A. Fani, Director of Communications, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, 212-371-3191, catalyst@catholicleague.org
MEDIA ADVISORY, April 7 /Standard Newswire/ -- Harry Knox, director of the religion and faith program at the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights organization, has been appointed by the Obama administration to serve on the Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains why Knox is unfit to serve:
"On the home page of the Human Rights Campaign, it says that Knox was 'denied ordination because he is gay.' This is patently untrue. He was denied ordination in the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ because he is a sexually active homosexual. Regardless, it is his open disdain for Catholicism that makes him a bad choice to serve on the Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
"When Pope Benedict XVI recently said that condoms are not the answer to HIV/AIDS, he was simply voicing common sense: the promiscuous distribution of condoms has coincided with a precipitous increase in HIV/AIDS. But to gay activists like Knox, the pope is a liar. Indeed, he instructed the pope to 'start telling the truth about condom use,' holding the Holy Father accountable for 'endangering people's lives.' He never explained how calls for abstinence could possibly jeopardize anyone's life. Knox even went so far as to say that because the Knights of Columbus -- like most Americans -- oppose gay marriage, they are 'foot soldiers of a discredited army of oppression.'
"Though Knox is not Catholic, he could not resist blasting the Catholic Church when it decided a few years back to ban homosexual candidates for the priesthood who 'supported gay culture.' He branded this commonsensical position 'an attempt at mind control' and a 'dangerous and immoral' stance. In other words, he wants the Catholic Church to accept candidates like himself, practicing homosexuals so radical that even liberal mainline Protestant seminaries turn them away.
"Catholics take note: the Obama administration would never appoint an anti-gay person to any post. But it has no problem appointing anti-Catholics."
