Australia: Catholic University stands for its own morals

Image
Teachers at the medical school of Notre Dame University have to commit to teach under a code of standards that bans contraception, ­describes abortion as “the ­deliberate killing of an innocent human life” and reserves the right to ­refuse IVF to gay couples. The school, which is based in Sydney and Fremantle and receives federal funding, lists as an “essential selection criteria” for teachers a “commitment to teaching in the context of the Code of Ethical Standards for Catholic Health and Aged Care Services in Australia’’. This code advises contraception is not permissible, healthcare facilities should resist pressure to offer prenatal testing, as it is futile because abortion is not banned even in the case of abnormalities, and gay and unmarried couples should not have access to IVF. On the topic of abortion and contraception, it states that “such procedures, treatments and medications are morally wrong because they involve the direct and deliberate killing of an innocent human li

Planned Parenthood uses Mother’s Day to celebrate abortion, ‘gender fluidity’

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Planned Parenthood took advantage of Mother’s Day to promote the antithesis of empowered motherhood : abortion . On its Twitter account, the nation’s largest abortion provider celebrated abortion and gender fluidity on the holiday dedicated to honoring mothers and the sacrifices they make for their children: “Planned Parenthood works every day to promote healthy, planned motherhood all over the world, and to support moms of all ages, races, and walks of life,” the abortion giant posted on Facebook .  “We wish you a Happy Mother's Day!” According to its   own annual report , Planned Parenthood ripped 323,999 children out of their mothers’ wombs during the fiscal year 2014-2015.  Planned Parenthood’s work promoting “healthy, planned motherhood all over the world” includes supplying to women hormonal birth control that the   Wor

The ‘plague’ of homosexuality in the priesthood: are we reliving the past?

Image
The "cancer" of sodomy among priests threatens to bring down the wrath of God upon the Church, according to a Catholic saint and doctor who addressed a similar crisis in the priesthood over 900 years ago. In his  Book of Gomorrah ,  recently published in a new translation by Ite ad Thomam Books and Media, Damian takes special aim at the growing acceptability of homosexuality among the clergy , warning that it is “creeping through the clerical order, and indeed is raging like a cruel beast within the sheepfold of Christ.” He warns that unless this growing tolerance of homosexuality among clerics and the faithful is rooted out, “it is certain that the sword of divine fury is looming to attack, to the destruction of many.”  The  Book of Gomorrah  seems particularly relevant in the face of recent statements about homosexuality from the most influential leaders and groups within the Catholic Church which have led many to believe that the Church stands ready to adopt a

Gay ‘marriage’ compromisers are ‘answerable to the Supreme Judge’

The Archbishop of Agana , Guam , a US territory located in the Western Pacific ocean , has sent out an appeal to the faithful, urging them to hold fast to their Christian faith in light of recent rulings that redefined marriage, both from the U.S. Supreme Court and from the Guam Legislature.   “I invite all the Faithful, including those in every branch of our local government, not to deny your faith, but to have the courage to be a witness to the truth: the truth about life, about man, about marriage and about family,” urged Archbishop Anthony Sablan Apuron in an   August 26 letter   titled “Guam Marriage Equality Act : A Defeat for Our Island and for Humanity.” Archbishop Apuron warned the faithful that supporting gay “marriage” while choosing not to defend real marriage is an action that they will one day have to render an account of before God. “As Shepherd of the local Church of Guam, I urge every person to be mindful that each of us is answerable to the Supreme Judge f

Homosexuality: Jesus deeply loved 'the sexually broken'

Image
Rev Dr Peter Catt and Dr Stuart Edser have offered a strange and misleading picture of the Christian faith . Despite claiming an allegiance to Christianity, their thesis has more in common with a late night 'reality' television show than with the teaching and work of Jesus Christ . First of all, Catt and Edser would have us believe that the majority of Australian Christians now support homosexuality and same-sex marriage. However, it doesn't take much to realise that they have been selective in their presentation of the evidence. They were able to cite two polls, by Crosby-Textor and Galaxy. The former was commissioned by Australian Marriage Equality (AME), and both failed to make the crucial differentiation between nominal Christians and practising Christians, which is a normal sociological and theological distinction. It is odd that two 'Christian' ministers should so glibly assume as Christian any person who identifies with the name in a survey. Even Jesus

The children of homosexual parents - LGBT want to hide these stories

As you know I am now an Official Bonafide Jet-setter and as such I was in DC (people who move and shake drop the Washington part and now that I am so worldly, well, you know) last weekend for a panel discussion hosted by Alliance Defending Freedom called “What about the children?” They invited me to speak alongside marriage law expert Caleb Dalton and Dr. Paul Sullins who happens to be The Go -To Man on the impact of same-sex parenting . He is responsible for studies that capture data representative of more than all of the oppositions studies represent combined. So basically, with a legal expert and social scientist at my side I just got to show up and blather. Here’s a few blather-inspired video clips: Is “love makes a family” really a fair thing to say to kids? When kids watch their father love their mother Gender matters in jury selection and parenting selection The broken bond of same-sex parenting If we get the real message of marriage across, we could have the most pro-marri

Catholic Relief Services vice-president is in a gay ‘marriage’, promotes gay agenda

Image
Update April 20: In keeping with our regular practice, we contacted Catholic Relief Services on Friday morning for a response prior to publication, and gave them a deadline of 4pm. In this case they did not respond. However, by Monday morning, Estridge's LinkedIn and Facebook profiles were taken down. BALTIMORE, MD , April 20, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- As Catholic bishops throughout the U.S. face attacks for requiring Catholic teachers not to support same-sex “marriage,”  new evidence  shows that a vice-president at the bishops’ own foreign relief agency is himself “married” to another man. Critics say the news confirms Catholic Relief Services’ history of hiring high-level employees who openly oppose fundamental Catholic moral teachings, and raises further doubts about the organization’s stewardship of Catholic funds. Rick Estridge, Catholic Relief Services' Vice President of Overseas Finance, is in a same-sex "marriage," public records show. Twitter

Ireland rules out referendum on abortion, but puts gay ‘marriage’ on the ballot

Image
English: Enda Kenny speaking at the YFG national conference (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Ireland's health minister backed away from both sides of the abortion issue on Tuesday when he ruled out holding a referendum to establish the legality of the Irish abortion law. Minister for Health Dr. Leo Varadkar was responding to an abortion bill tabled by Independent TD Clare Daly that sought to repeal the 8th amendment to the Constitution, which aims to constitutionally legalize abortion in Ireland . Daly called for her pro-abortion bill to be included with the other referenda, such as the referendum on same-sex "marriage" that Prime Minister Enda Kenny   announced yesterday  would be included on the ballot, planned for May of next year. However, the 2013 “Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act” that legalized abortion under certain circumstances is legislation that pro-life activists say violates the clear pro-life provisions contained in the country's Constitu
