The secular mind of AP reveals itself today in a story on what reporters call “gay marriage”:

But supporters of a ban called on the Legislature to allow voters in the heavily Roman Catholic state to have the opportunity to weigh in on a crucial cultural issue. “Mother Nature left her blueprint behind and she left it in DNA, a man and a woman,” said Rep. Marie Parente. “I didn’t create that combination, Mother Nature did.”

I don’t recall a religious figure called “Mother Nature” in my Bible or my Catechism…I do remember her from a Chiffon margarine commercial. A better term for the Bay/Gay State would be a “nominally” or “marginally” Catholic state, where people wear their faith like an ethnicity, a genetic imposition, rather than a heartfelt orthodoxy.
