"Half Staff for Pope" Attacked
A Madison secular organization is protesting Gov. Jim Doyle's order to fly flags at half-staff at public buildings all week to remember Pope John Paul II. The gesture "appears like an endorsement of Roman Catholicism over other religious viewpoints," said Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Gaylor said her organization would have looked the other way if the order had been for just Friday - the day of the pope's funeral - instead of all week.We were snarking about this happening in France the other day. Gaylor doesn't miss a chance for free publicity either... Posted by: James 2005-04-06 |
