The Roman Catholic Bishop of Yakima is hitting up worshipers in the pews of his 41 parishes to donate money to defeat Referendum 74, the same-sex-marriage measure on Washington’s November election ballot.
The Rt. Rev. Joseph Tyson, in a letter to pastors, deliverer 14 talking points and told them: “I am asking you to announce a special parishoner financial appeal” to boost the political warchest to fight marriage equality.
