12:05 am
heart cathedral. i must admit i was initially skeptical on the board of supervisors waying in orin the contsversey 56789 as one who deeply appreciates the separation of church and state. i question the appropriateness of government getting involved, but separate doesn't mean exempt from support or challenge, praise or criticism. just as the church should speak its mind in matters of the state it finds troubling it is the right and responsibility of the state to raise the flag and say enough is enough when the church, any church goes too far. the
12:06 am
morality clause proposal put forth by archbishop cort liowny does that it crosses the line. his initiative is hurtful to me on so many levels. as a parent, as a resident and simply as a human being. and as a catholic it pains me to see my archdiocese choose to present cath aulicism in such a judgmental way. i feel embarrassed by the proposal laser focus on hot button issues. while it appears the archbishop was rethinking his action make no mistake about his intentionsism in the diocese own words, nothing already planned to go in is being removed or retracted or with drawn. [inaudible]

vudoor cort lion. good for him. a men. yes and shame on all you people. shame on you. what does the bible say? paul quoted leviticus in loving your neighbors. love one another for he that loves one another fulfilled the law and for this though shall not [inaudible] if there is any other command it is briefly comp hended in this, love your neighbor as yourself. love works no ill so love is fulfilling of the law. the context of the statement is leviticus 19 where it says you are full of hate if you do not rebuke your brother when you see him do any wrong. that is what it says, you are full of hate, but this is turned around by the homosexual community and
12:09 am
those for home sexuals 180 degrees from what it means. i'm stealing rushes words, but words mean things. words mean things. you can't change god. he is the same yesterday today and forever. when the grace of god comes into a mans heart then he does good works if he is a adult rr he say that is wrong and repent. if he is a homosexual he says i won't be a homosexual anymore. we read in first corinthians chapter 6 of the sins of those that were not christians and we delineated

12:11 am
22. >> on the remaining items which i think is only probably 1 item. >> 20 and 21. on items 20 and 21. supervisor ferrule. [inaudible] >> supervisor wiener. >> 21. what item did we not sever? >> item 20 >> item 19, supervisor farrow >> thank you madam president. i want thank the people that came out to speak today for all my colleagues for cosponsors the signing with me. the topic of conversation is a rough one for a number of weeks and brings no joy to talk about it, but i continue to believe as a prathsing catholic in san
12:12 am
francisco who was educated in orcatholic school, we have a obligation to speak up and despite the recent events i continue to be a proud catholic in san francisco. proud to be educated here and part of a praths catholic family. as i mentioned the last few weeks have been the most challenging of my life in the catholic church and know tonight it was a sampling of the people that feel the same way and want to thank everyone for reaching out to my office at a time when pope frances continues to give so many hope inside and outside of the catholic church. these local events have over shadows the instration we are getting from rome. i think these actions really afront the valees we have in san francisco and that we all hold dear. their content and the way they
12:13 am
are communicated to the the community and school community and in so many ways our adherence and defense of these values define us as san francisco mpt inclusion over exclusion, tolerance ofern discrimination and commitment for respect for the individual makes us who we are as a city. in our catholic church has the right to insure the catholic faith is taught and up hp held in the schools. but for a pastor to deny young weapon the ability to serve as alter girms as example, as we celebrate womens history month completely discredits what young women have brought to had catholic church. this is the point we should look to include people and encourage people to be part of the community, not exclude them. i think most parntsly as weez heard from people tonight
12:14 am
to require teachers to sign a contract and to afirm and believe many of the practices the church discouraged is evil crosses the line. disageeing with the teachings doesn't mean i or anyone here isn't a catholic or bad catholic, but disagrees and has a caujss that tells them otherwise. plike many people talked about i don't know what to say whether they are teachers parents or student who believe in those values as well. what do we say to the teachers that are part of the lgb community or the friends who are part of the lgb community? insuch we stand up for everyone. we stand up for the community and honor and embrace those that choose to do the same. our features play such a important role for our
12:15 am
children and families and i want to thank members of the arch diseize and high sools that came out, even a wild cat, thank you for being out here, but the disconteent and uncertaintyly and confuse the stream of events caused it not only unnecessarily but avoidable and in my opinion unconsciousenable. we can not talk out of both sides of our mouth. honoring our teachers and placing restriction on employment and creating a culture of fear that has no place in our schools right now. the message is coming from pope franceing and the archdiocese cannot be more at odds in the tone and approach and this causes confusion over what the real message of the chunch is and it is what dishardens me as a catholic. it is unfortunate when there is a constant need for par
12:16 am
tisitation in everything we need here in san francisco. we need to be galvanized and notdroid in solving our issues that face us. we continue to have violence on the streets and continue to have homeless issues and have so many issues that need or attention and argue and suggest need a strong catholic community. i love pope frances quote, i prefer a church which is bruised hurtding and dirty because it has been in sth streets rather than a church that is confined and cleaned from the own security. i'll say again this week, i expect as a legislator and pray as a cath lack that events are resolved in a manner similar to the resolution we are voting on today which honors the cont butions of the
12:17 am
teachers [inaudible] my mope sh continues to be no matter what religion our faith community we qu move past these events. we have a long road to go, but ultimately rededicate ourselves to the mission of the chunchs and faiths and focus on being men and women for others here in the city of saint francis and colleagues i hope to have your support >> with that can we crawl roll >> item 19 and for the record item 19 is the urge >> student archdiocese of san francisco to [inaudible] on item 19 >> supervisor ferrule rkss aye. mar, ayeau. tang, aye.

>> resolution to support senate bill 277 repeal thg personal belief exemption for vaccines >> supervisor weern >> this is a resolution to put san francisco on the records supporting the elimination of the personal belief exemption forvic seens. we have one of the few states that allows anyone if they don't want their kids vaccinated. this is a significant pub public health issue. it isn't about his or her child t is about others in the community that are too young to be vaccinated or can't be vaccinated for spinge health reasons or the fact that vack seenss are not 100 percent.
