Catholics in Maine Give $86K to Fight Gay Marriage

Catholics in Maine gave about $86,000 to fight same-sex marriage through collections at Masses in September. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland said Friday that parishioners put $41,000 into baskets during collections supporting the campaign to repeal Maine's new law legalizing same-sex marriage. Donations made in envelopes weren't opened by the churches but sent directly to Stand for Marriage Maine, the political action committee organizing the repeal effort.
