Roman Catholic Church Gives $152K More to Maine's Anti Gay Marriage Group

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has contributed another $152,600 to the group that's campaigning to overturn Maine's same-sex marriage law. A campaign finance report released by the diocese Friday said the money was contributed between Oct. 1 and Oct. 20 and came from its general treasury. The treasury is made up of unrestricted bequests, interests and dividends, said Sue Bernard, a spokeswoman for the diocese. The money doesn't come from parish collection plates or the bishop's appeal, she said. Full Story from the Morning Sentinel: http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/7014886.html
