I am not making this up. The widely voiced opinion in certain circles is that great wealth accumulated by the devout is a visible, earthly symbol of God's grace.

Like the rich man in the bible, the non-Christian rich can't get into Heaven; but the Christian rich can and should, unless they seriously drop the ball somehow.

One Christian argument against Cathy would be that he lacks charity toward homosexuals and takes a narrow view of God based on a static, restricted view of Christianity. (In other words, he's kind of a Pharisee.) A counterargument would be that he recognizes that gay marriage is a prideful affront to God, inviting divine judgment on America. (In other words, he's kind of a prophet.)

At least that's how people that I know would argue. But this thread's about politics, not theology.
