Building a Bridge for Man Boy Love? Is That Where We're Going Next in the Church?

One of our readers alerted me to the Quest conference that ran from August 10-12 in Lincoln, England and featured notorious gay rights propagandist Fr. James Martin, S.J. Last year their featured speaker was Sr. Jeannine Grammick another dissenter from Church teaching on sexuality and gay rights champion That's enough to know what Quest is, but I'll add more.

Archdiocese of Chicago: Co-Chair of Catholic LGBT Ministry to Wed Same-Sex Partner

Really, McDonald's? Must the LGBTQ Agenda be shoved down our throats with your fries?

Another good reason to pass up McDonald's when you're choosing a fast food alternative. Chik-fil-A, here we come! I'll take your frozen lemonade any day over anything McDonald's has to offer! And it comes without offensive "values" being force fed to customers. Let the CEO of McDonald's know what you think about their celebration of homosexual sodomy, nudity, S&M, and other X-rated behavior at D.C.'s "pride" parade. steve.easterbrook@us.mcd.com

A Lesson on Palm Sunday: How Can a Small Minority of Gay Activists Destroy Our Culture?

Check out the battle in Franklin, TN. They're organized, well funded, and don't mind using terror tactics to annihilate their opposition. It's all been outlined before in After the Ball. They're relentless and, let's face it, they're evil. They do the work of the father of lies.

Tennessee county school board meets -- but backs off on removing “gay” club from high school. LGBT activists celebrating. Local parents are livid and fighting back.

The New Sexualized BSA: Where Will They Go from Here?

I'll be honest, I think the BSA's policy change is a train wreck. No doubt they will survive in the short term, but their image as a group with principles is already badly damaged. And churches are already exiting. The new policy which begins January 2014, is touted as no big deal by some. It simply says that those who openly express same-sex attraction, but are not acting on it, will be welcomed in troops. That's like saying BSA welcomes scouts who openly admit attractions to shoplifting or vandalism but abstain from the behavior. Why announce it at all? Because of original sin, we are all "oriented" toward sinful inclinations. The challenge is to choose holiness. What is the point of admitting our sinful inclinations in public? Oh, there's a point all right. The new policy, no matter how you frame it, advances the gay lifestyle by legitimizing the inclination. Sinful inclinations are for the confessional, not the pack meeting. But that's the point. It isn't about just allowing gay scouts to join. It's about sexualizing the troop, the initial stage in transforming scouting into one more institution that feeds the lie that homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable and, therefore, acting on the inclination is morally acceptable.

APA Past President Says the Research on Homosexuality Never Done

According to a past president of the APA (American Psychological Association), Nicholas Cummings, unbiased research on homosexuality was never done. In a recent interview, Cummings says he introduced the resolution that homosexuality is not a mental illness. Rather, it is "characterological." (Let me emphasize that. HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHARACTER-BASED DISORDER.) Removing it from the mental health column didn't mean homosexuality was normal, but the homosexual activists used the APA to play "let's pretend." At the time the resolution passed Cummings said they also resolved to continue research and report on whatever the research demonstrated. However, Cummings says, "unbiased open research was never done." At the time, the Leona Tyler principle was in effect which required that psychology professionals base any advocacy on demonstrable scientific research and proven experience. Dr. Cummings says that, as the APA became more political in the late 1980s and '90s, the Leona Tyler principle, which was "never withdrawn" simply disappeared. (In 2007 NARTH's governing board adopted the Leona Tyler principle.)

Where Are Equal Rights for Christians? "Gays" are more equal than others!

Chicago police did nothing to protect the rights of Catholics when "gay" hate-mongers trespassed at Holy Name Cathedral Feb. 14th to chant and threaten church-goers who were called "bigots." Who are the real bigots? Those who harrass and intimidate others to accept the lie that "gays" deserve special rights. A depraved sexual lifestyle, whether it's same-sex sodomy, promiscuity, adultery, fornication, self-abuse, bestiality, polygamy, polyamory, pornography, etc. is not a civil right. And most of those engaging in sexual immorality don't demand it. To treat the "gay" issue as a "civil right" comparable to discrimination against blacks is an insult to the memory of Martin Luther King and all those who struggled and even died for equal rights. The founders never intended to provide constitutional protection to lust. Same sex attraction has no more right to special privileges than sado-masochism and other perversions. Whose to say the man who likes his women whipped and tied to the bed wasn't "born that way as well?"

As for the police being instructed to allow this to go on, it was a shameful betrayal and discrimination against Catholics. Imagine for a moment that these bigots were KKK members at a black church or skinheads on the property of  a synagogue, or pro-lifers outside Planned Parenthood. Do you doubt that arrests wouldn't quickly follow? Is there any possibility that the law would have been suspended? Unthinkable!

But Chicago has always been the city of corruption and now it's Rahm Emmanuel's town. Catholics can expect the dead fish treatment. After all, we're just "mackeral snappers" who deserve whatever we get. Prepare for more of this. Verbal harrassment now; clubs and steel bars in the future. As Fr. John Hardon often said, "Raise your children to be martyrs." But follow the example of the calm Catholics outside the cathedral and pray for the poor deluded men and women who are slaves to their lust. Satan is never satisfied with sin and sinners being tolerated, he demands that evil be declared good and good be declared evil, hence the attack on the Church.

It's no surprise; in fact it was foretold. "In the last days, mocking, sneering men who are ruled by their passions will arrive on the scene....You are forewarned, beloved brothers. Be on your guard lest you be led astray."  (2 Peter 3: 3, 17) But there's a warning to the "protesters" as well. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil." (Isaiah 5:20) In the end, no one will avoid the reckoning.

Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the grace of final perseverance for yourself and for those in proximate danger of hell.

Most Holy Redeemer: the Gay Agenda Continues

Anyone familiar with this blog knows all about Fr. Steve Meriwether, the gay enabling pastor of Holy Redeemer in the Castro section of San Francisco, who blesses gay pride parade participants riding a Holy Redeemer trolley and wearing gay T-shirt and has allowed the use of the parish hall for transvestite beauty pageants, card parties, and bingo with sex toys and obscene videoes among the prizes, etc. ad nauseum. See here.

Well, the padre can't let Advent alone either. He's arranged a weekly vespers service with a motley crew of worship leaders from other dominations (including the other denomination in the Catholic Church, aka heretics). You don't need to be Catholic to join the vespers' club, but you DO need to be a gay pride advocate. So who are the players? Fr. Meriwether, of course. Episcopal Rev. Jay Emerson Johnson on the staff at the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley. Johnson is enamored by the "intersections of queer theory and Christian traditions."  (Does that mean the Advent candles are phallic symbols for flamers?) Rev. Jeff Bert is a lapsed Catholic, self identified gay man, and an associate pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) of San Francisco. Among MCC's positions is its commitment to "marriage equality" for LGBT folks. The last participant is Ms. Kaya Oakes, a liberal Catholic and gay proponent as well. (Surprise!) All the vespers' players support same-sex marriage and the repeal of Proposition 8.

To read more about Fr. Steve's Vespers Project see here.

Now the question for inquiring Catholics is, "Where in heaven's name is Archbishop Niederauer?" Apparently still tolerating and enabling Fr. Meriwether and his gay agenda. Remember the sacrilege below? Fr. Meriwether continues as a priest in good standing. My friend Fr. Haley, on the other hand, is out in the cold. If this doesn't make you angry, it should!

Compassion, a One-Way Street in the Gay World

I started my day today with a vicious comment on my Bishop Loverde, Where is Fr. Haley? blog. I'm used to it by now so I don't get the powerful adrenaline surge any more. (I have always hated cofrontation and am very familiar with the fight or flight reaction that makes me want to run.)

This morning's post just made me sad. This lady's attitude explains graphically the hostility of the gay community toward Christians. Many would feed us to the lions if they could because we dare to condemn, not them but their perverted lifestyle or the lifestyle of their children. Either we accept it and celebrate it or we shut up. And if we won't, they'll shut us up with hate crime legislation.

There's no fleeing -- so Christians better hold their ground and fight. Read Ephesians 6, put on the armor of God and take up your sword, the Word of God. If we don't start holding our ground we won't have any left in the entire world.

Ann Coulter gave HOMOCON an earful: Does that justify her appearance?

HOMOCON is over and Ann Coulter gave them an earful, speaking against same sex marriage and criticizing their attemp to portray themselves as victims similar to victims of racism. So, does Ann's giving an in-your-face speech justify her speaking at the event? Not in my opinion.

I have to agree with Joseph Farah's assessment. If you speak to the KKK you give them credibility regardless of whether you criticize their positions or not.

If a celebrity chooses to speak to the Ku Klux Klan, there is no question the Klan benefits from such an appearance – no matter how much the speaker might attempt to explain the differences he or she might have with the group's agenda. Justifying such an appearance by suggesting it's just another paid speaking gig would hardly mollify the criticism or negate the benefit the Klan received from the event.

Of course, no one in respectable public life would consider speaking to the Klan for those reasons.

However, I would suggest the ungodly, sin-glorifying homosexual agenda represents a far greater and far more imminent danger to the future of the United States than does the Klan's racist, ungodly and sin-glorifying agenda.

That's not to say we should never speak to or evangelize sinners – be they Klan members or homosexual activists. In fact, that's exactly what we should do. What we should never do is... validate their activism in any way. [my emphasis]

The homosexual network wants to be in the news. Controversy serves their purpose. That people are arguing about their legitimacy gives them credibility. That's what Coulter did and I agree with Joseph Farah that it was wrong.

Intolerance Trumps Truth Among Gay Activists

Tolerance may be the mantra of the homosexual movement, but intolerance is their M.O. And we're talking intolerance at the highest level of psychiatry. Any psychiatrist or professional group that refuses to support the biased view that homosexuality is normal and sexual orientation is unchangeable is targeted.

One of the latest battlegrounds is The California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). They recently considered a motion to deny membership to professionals and professional groups (like the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality - NARTH) that practice Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE). They also want to define change therapy as "unethical" even when patients seek to be cured of their disordered attraction. (See more here...)

It doesn't look like CAMFT is in a hurry to carry out the gays' demands - too much potential for lawsuits. But what if they do? What impact will that have on patients? A gay man who was molested as a child, who hates being attracted to other men (Yes, there are homosexuals who fit that description.), goes to a therapist for help. But the only "help" the therapist is ethically allowed to give in the politically correct world of gay propaganda is to convince the man his inclination is "normal" and helping him be "comfortable" with it. That is what's unethical! For decades prior to 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Only after lobbying by gay activists and faux science did the APA and other professional groups cave in and declare homosexuality normal. They did the same thing with abortion. These professional organizations continue to move toward ever more extreme positions, for example, that sado-masochism is normal as well.

A few therapists and researchers are standing for sanity. Pray for them and for organizations like NARTH that are under serious attack for refusing to trade the politically incorrect truth for the politically correct lie.

More on "Hate Crimes" Bill: Lynching the truth

Portraying the "hate crimes" bill as defending gays against discrimination is a lie. Leftists lynch the truth using any crime that involves a gay to claim a hate motivation. But when a gay murders a Christian, like Mary Stachowicz, the media ignores it and gay activists say "she deserved it." THIS IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. IT IS A SPECIAL RIGHTS BILL. It will deny free speech to Christians and others who object to homosexual immorality. "Gays" already are treated with special protection. When they engage in public nudity and mutual masturbation during "pride" events, police look the other way. This bill will increase hatred all right, hatred against Christians like Mary Stachowicz who cared enough to speak the truth in love. She was murdered for it. The video below has some offensive footage from "gay pride" events. It is definitely not for children, but it is information to wake up adults who think that gays' perverted relationships are equivalent to traditional marriage. They are not!

Reid Supports Hate Crimes Prevention Act (Politico)

Hate Crimes Act Has Far-Reaching Effects "A member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights says the federal hate crimes bill pending in the Senate 'will do little good and a great deal of harm.'"

Talk Show Hosts May Be Accomplices Under Hate Bill "This bill imposes much stronger federal enforcement, which is a clear violation of the Tenth Amendment. It grants greater power to federal prosecutors to prosecute hate crime laws by prosecuting those who have been found innocent by local or state courts. The current bill will extend special privileges to gays and transgender individuals that are currently only granted to ethnic and religious minorities. The most dangerous part of the Bill which is a direct assault against the First Amendment is that it allows for the prosecution as accomplices in a hate crime for talk show pundits that the person who commits the alleged crime claims to influence their actions."

Log Cabin Republicans: Under the Depraved Circus Tent

CAUTION: NOT FOR CHILDREN!

Some in the Republican party say the "big tent" can hold everyone. But how can a tent stand when some of the folks inside are hacking at the support poles? The Log Cabin Republicans want smaller government except when it comes to using government to advance their X-rated depraved circus. The video below is not for children but children, as you will see, were exposed to the real thing. "Gays" use children like Planned Parenthood does: exploiting them for their own purposes. Just as PP approves of statutory rape and covers it up, the Log Cabin Republicans approve of behavior and legislation that make a mockery of family values. Republicans need to choose. Do they want to attract those who defend the family and children or do they want to open the tent to those who exploit children and destroy their innocence? A tent divided against itself will fall faster than the house built on sand. Americans for Truth asks you to send this video to your members in Congress, especially the Republicans. The party is in danger of going the way of the Whigs, a political party that imploded over the question of slavery. Will the Republicans follow them in self destruction? If they continue their "big tent" strategy the answer is pretty clear.

How to Create a Lesbian

Want to see a case study in how to create a lesbian/transgender/sexually confused individual? Just
look at poor Chastity Bono. Her life began as a fairy tale, the little princess, first-born of the fabulously successful Sonny and Cher, TV royalty.

I remember watching The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour show in the 70s. Cher was exotic; Sonny was funny, the butt of Cher's sarcasm. In retrospect, one can see that their snide nit-picking at each other for a cheap joke wasn't really funny at all. But the closing hand-holding number, "I Got You, Babe," always ended the show on a happy-clappy note.

And then there was Chastity, that adorable little blonde in frilly dresses. What a show stopper when she appeared with her parents often-times dressed like daddy. The series ran for three years until Sonny and Cher's very public and very acrimonious divorce.
