Catholic Culture reports: Three weeks after the Diocese of Portland withdrew it support of Preble Street’s Homeless Voices for Justice because of the group’s support for same-sex marriage, Governor John Baldacci– a Catholic who supports abortion and homosexual marriage– served spaghetti at a fundraiser for the group.
