CNN explores reaction to Neinstedt’s anti-gay campaign DVD

0

CNN took a critical look at the DVD’s that were sent out by Archbishop John Neinstedt prior to the Nov. 2 election urging Catholics to vote for candidates that oppose gay marriage. CNN caught up with people who were upset with the Archbishop’s decision and several who supported it. The video also takes a look at the artwork created by Lucinda Naylor who collected the unwanted DVDs to make an art project, a project that got her suspended from the Basilica. Despite the timing and the content, Neinstedt continues to maintain that the DVD effort is not political.
