HOMOSEXUAL PROPAGANDA IN SCHOOLS NOT IN SOCIETY'S INTEREST

29/04/07 09:51 Filed in: Radical Homosexual Agenda

Lately I have become increasingly disappointed in our culture and where we are headed. The radical homosexual agenda has so effectively spread its message, and continues to do so at an alarming rate, not only among adults, but more importantly among our children. Man is no longer concerned with "sin" which offends God, instead he is concerned with offending his fellow man's feelings about himself.

A culture that immerses itself in the pursuit of mortal sin cannot grasp the things of God. We have become a culture that is impervious to God's grace. The depth of the blindness and disregard to spiritual realities is unsurpassed historically and unsurpassed in depravity. Satan knows that the corruption of youth is the key to the future, and apparently so do his cohorts. This world is his dominion and he seals his citizens with a deadly mark on the soul. No wonder souls are said to be falling like snowflakes into hell.

These are a must watch couple of videos--click here. We cannot turn a blind eye to the methods used to corrupt our youth--no matter how disturbing. We must expose the darkness so that we can effectively do battle for souls.

But amidst the darkness of our wholehearted acceptance of homosexuality as equal to heterosexuality, is a nation that seems to be hanging on by a thread to the truths of God and His church. It is a nation that is clearly like a lamb in the midst Read More...

THE LATIN COUNTERREVOLUTION

28/04/07 21:04 Filed in: Tridentine Latin Mass

Here is secular analysis of the Pope and his mission to restore latin to its proper place in the Church, from Expatica:

"Pope Benedict XVI may have raised a few eyebrows with his red Prada shoes and Father Christmas-like "camauro" hat but the German-born pontiff is no revolutionary on Catholic Church matters.

No one was surprised then when the German-born Pope Benedict XVI issued strict rules on how to celebrate Mass and reaffirmed the importance of the celibacy rule for priests this month.   

However, there was one minor aspect of this apostolic exhortation, Sacramentum Caritatis (Sacrament of Charity), that will likely make waves: His decision to encourage the use of Latin in Church.   

"I ask that future priests, from their time in the seminary, receive the preparation needed to understand and to celebrate Mass in Latin, and also to use Latin texts and execute Gregorian chant," the pope wrote in his message to clergymen and ordinary Catholics.   

The traditional Tridentine Mass in Latin was replaced with updated liturgies in local Read More...

ARE CHILDREN WITH RELIGIOUS PARENTS BETTER BEHAVED AND ADJUSTED?

27/04/07 18:42 Filed in: Christianity

This is such a wonderful study. I think I will cite to it next time I hear the oft repeated objection that homeschooled children are not socialized.

"Kids with religious parents are better behaved and adjusted than other children, according to a new study that is the first to look at the effects of religion on young child development."

"The conflict that arises when parents regularly argue over their faith at home, however, has the opposite effect.

"John Bartkowski, a Mississippi State University sociologist and his colleagues asked the parents and teachers of more than 16,000 kids, most of them first-graders, to rate how much self control they believed Read More...

EUROPEAN DHIMMITUDE?

27/04/07 13:41 Filed in: Islam

Here is an interview with Bat Ye'or, an expert on dhimmitude--the institutionalized discrimination and harassment of non-Muslims under Islamic law. She is the author of eight books, including Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (2005). From Frontpage:

"FP: What has changed since the publication of Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis in America (January 2005)?

"Bat Ye'or: The situation has aggravated on every front. At the beginning of the war in Iraq, (in Spring 2003) there was some hope that a democratic government would take over and would bring justice and peace to its people. But the elimination of tyranny, thanks to the Coalition forces, only brought to the fore the worst evil and inhuman forces that consume Arab-Muslim societies. The war in Iraq exposed American's shortcomings, Western divisions and unreadiness to confront global jihad. The chaotic situation there and the nuclearisation of Iran have fortified the Islamists.

"Moreover, the lamentable response of the

THE FRENCH REJECT TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AS OUT OF STYLE

25/04/07 21:50 Filed in: Culture/ Death of the West

The International Herald Tribune has declared that traditional marriage is now out of style based upon the French presidential contenders' trend- setting rejection of it. Does what follows prove that traditional marriage is out of style or that Western civilization is in steep decline?

"Presidential candidate Segolene Royal is not married, and if she wins, her romantic partner plans to scorn the trappings of life as France's "first gentleman;" he swears he will not even live in the official Elysee Palace.

"Conservative contender Nicolas Sarkozy's marriage has been tabloid fodder. It was love at first sight when he fell for his second wife — at her wedding to someone else. During Sarkozy's run for the presidency, she left him for a while, and paparazzi photographed her hand-in-hand with another man...."

"Sarkozy, 52, jogs. Royal, 53, was photographed at the beach in a turquoise bikini.

"In an image-conscious race, both have modern relationships that many voters can relate to. Cecilia Sarkozy and Royal's partner, Socialist Party boss Francois Hollande, have made clear they will not give up their dreams and happiness for the presidency, said Christine Clerc, author of a book about presidential couples, "Tigres et tigresses" (Tigers and Tigresses).

"THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN BLASPHEMY"

24/04/07 19:18 Filed in: Radical Homosexual Agenda

St. John Chrysostom said "There is nothing worse than blasphemy". The truth of his statement is evident in the following story.

From Indystar.com: "Two local billboards that are part of a broad ad campaign aimed at showing Biblical support for homosexuality were hit over the weekend by spray-paint-wielding vandals.

"Starting last week, the national gay advocacy group Faith in America leased space on 22 billboards around Indianapolis to spread messages like “Jesus affirmed a gay couple” and “Jesus said some people are born gay.” It corresponds with 1,000 yard signs carrying similar messages that were sponsored by the Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, an Indianapolis church that teaches God’s acceptance of homosexuality.

"Rev. Jeff Miner, the church’s pastor, said the two billboards were defaced over the weekend.

GAY MARRIAGE IS EVIL & ABORTION IS TERRORISM--VATICAN

23/04/07 20:41 Filed in: Radical Homosexual Agenda

FROM: stuff.co.nz

VATICAN CITY: The Vatican's second-highest ranking doctrinal official has forcefully branded homosexual marriage an evil and denounced abortion and euthanasia as forms of "terrorism with a human face".

The attack by Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was the latest in a string of speeches made by either Pope Benedict or other Vatican officials as Italy considers giving more rights to gays.

In an address to chaplains, Amato said newspapers and television bulletins often seemed like "a perverse film about evil".

He denounced "evils that remain almost invisible" because the media presented them as "expression of human progress".

He listed these as abortion clinics, which he called "slaughterhouses of human Read More...

NO CIVIL SOCIETY CAN SURVIVE THAT BANISHES GOD

22/04/07 10:30 Filed in: Culture/ Death of the West

"No man of common sense and goodwill, seeing the ills which afflict us, and which are particularly prevalent in certain countries, will take long to realize that the source of these calamities lies in neglect and official denial of God by whole societies, and often even at the family level."

"Our Holy Father the Pope said only recently that "once God has been abolished, disdain for the things of God turns man, stripped of his spiritual dignity, into the base slave of things material, suppressing and even uprooting all the beauty shown forth in virtue, love, hope, and the interior life."

"No civil society will ever be able to survive by banishing God, for the sacred principles of religion alone can justly balance the rights and duties of citizens, consolidate the foundations of the State, and regulate Read More...

THE SEPARATION OF CATHOLICS AND STATE

19/04/07 16:17 Filed in: Killing Religion & Loss of Religious Freedom

Rest assured, the recent supreme court decision upholding the ban on partial birth abortion will cause a renewed call for the separation of church and state from the left.

From Politico: "The decision was...notable for the way the nine justices split on the question -- 5-4, with the Court's five Catholic justices forming the majority.

"Never before has the court had five Catholic justices, and their joining together in a decision to limit abortion, of all hot-button issues, is likely to spark discussion about the role of religion in forming social policy."

Those who call for the extraconstitutional separation of church and state seek the separation of authentic Catholics from any position where their faith and morality could be influential. The constitution does not contain any mention of the "separation of church and state". The constitution states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

The left's call for the separation of church and state is never about the state intruding upon religion Read More...

"EUROSECULARITY" & "SOFT ISLAMIZATION"

What follows are excerpts of an article by Richard John Nuehaus from First Things. It is among other things a book review of God’s Continent: Christianity, Islam, and Europe’s Religious Crisis by Philip Jenkins.

"Jenkins operates within a very short time frame. He suggests that by 2050 there will be thirty million Muslims in Europe. Other scholars believe the figure will be much higher. Whatever the more plausible number, 2050 is, in historical perspective, only a few years distant. The life of nations is, in their own self-understanding, very long.

The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

ISLAM & SECULARISM: CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO WORLD VIEWS

17/04/07 17:23 Filed in: Culture/ Death of the West

The Virginia Tech killing rampage is a horrific condemnation of our culture.

The modern secular university is a wasteland of relativism, multiculturalism, and nihilism. Are we supposed to be surprised at how this "world view" manifests itself? Under secularism, why should anger be restrained? Why should we not kill? The fruits of secularism are tragic, and are an embarrassment. It is absurd to think that the secularism found in the West is attractive and inviting to Islam, and will ultimately breed assimilation.

This was confirmed in an official statement by the Iranian government, that upon first glance appears to be replete with hypocrisy and irony:

ABORTING LIBERTY

16/04/07 14:13 Filed in: Abortion, Infanticide --Killing Babies

The Washington State Board of Pharmacy has ruled that pharmacies have a duty to fill all "lawful" prescriptions, despite an individual pharmacist's objections to a drug. Thus, pharmacists have lost the right to freedom of conscience and must dispense the morning after abortion pill.

"Moving forward, pharmacists with personal objections to a drug must get a co-worker to fill the order. Failing that, they are duty-bound to fill it themselves. Bottom line: A patient must be able to get her prescription filled in the same pharmacy visit."

To refuse to dispense the pill now endangers one's employment and livelihood. To dispense it endangers one's immortal soul. The judicially created false "right" of a women to kill her child now trumps Read More...
