It's a real piss off that your intensely articulate letter will never reach the Cardinal. Moreover, if someone with some political power/the cardinal *did* read it, I'm sure it might sway ...or at least slap some sense into those opposed to same-sex marriages. But I do not believe the psychological discomfort at the actions of other people is sufficient grounds to deny those other people their human rights as guaranteed by Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms you nailed it, baby. And yeah, it will "horrify" a lot of the h-core catholics and what not. But, like you said, that's still not enough to deny someone's rights that are, by law, given in the Charter.
