 Catholics
for Marriage Equality in California (CME-CA) was established
by members and friends of Dignity/San Francisco in June 2009
to advance civil marriage equality through prayer, presence,
and education.
On the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 2009 we conducted
our first public action—a rosary at St. Mary’s Cathedral in
San Francisco. In September 2009 we co-organized a
demonstration at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley
to call attention to the anti-gay, anti-marriage activism of
Oakland Bishop Salvatore Cordileone (The Father of
Proposition 8).
In October 2009 we began a series of monthly Five First
Saturday vigils that ran through February 2010, alternating
between the cathedrals in Oakland and San Francisco. In
January 2010 we started publishing Communion, a monthly
newsletter you can download here, featuring contributions by
religious leaders, scholars and activists. It is edited by
Eugene McMullan and Kara Speltz.
