NY CARDINAL RIPS GAY MARRIAGE: From the New York Daily News

Edward Cardinal Egan railed yesterday against gay-marriage supporters, Hollywood honchos and even Britney Spears for "desecrating" marriage and destroying "something sacred and holy."

Pulling no punches, Egan said the specter of legal gay marriage would have a devastating effect on traditional values already eroded by an R-rated pop culture that includes sleazy reality TV shows. ...

The cardinal said traditional marriage should be preserved and protected at all costs.

"It has to do with a man and a woman committing to one another a life-long fidelity, a life until the end," Egan said.

The leader of more than 2 million New York Catholics told the faithful he was amazed that judges and lawmakers have opened the door to gay marriage. ...

Other Catholic leaders also attacked the decision from the pulpit yesterday. Boston Archbishop Sean O'Malley said gay marriage would have an "enormously negative impact on our society," as his state prepares for a divisive battle over the court ruling. ...

Egan, known for his conservative views, also lashed out at pop culture. He called the media "enemies of marriage" for promoting promiscuity on reality shows.
