GAY TRUTH

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Archdiocese of Chicago and one of its parishes in a lawsuit filed by a former employee claiming discrimination for being fired after publicly announcing his same-sex “engagement” in 2014. Colin Collette  was fired from Holy Family parish in Inverness in July 2014 after he had worked there for 17 years as music director and director of worship.  He refused a request by his pastor to resign  after his “engagement” with his male partner was made known on social media. The late Cardinal Francis George was archbishop at the time. The archdiocese  said  when Collette was fired that those working in Church ministries, including worship ministers, are expected to conform their lives publicly with the teachings of the Church, and that “This is a matter of personal integrity on their part.” Citing the ministerial exception, U.S. District Judge Charles P. Kocoras granted the motion for summary judgment sought in the case by the archdiocese and

Those in same-sex "marriages" shouldn't present themselves to or be admitted to Holy Communion , nor may they receive a Catholic funeral if they died without showing signs of repentence, Illinois Bishop Thomas Paprocki says. Paprocki is the Catholic bishop of Springfield, Illinois and well-known to the pro-life and pro-family movements for his defense of Catholic orthodoxy and morality. On June 12, Paprocki signed a " Decree Regarding Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Related Pastoral Issues ." It was sent to priests and diocesan staff last week and subsequently leaked to media sympathetic with the homosexual cause.  "The Church has not only the authority, but the serious obligation, to affirm its authentic teaching on marriage and to preserve and foster the sacred value of the married state," Paprocki explained after reminding his flock of "the clear and consistent teaching of the Catholic Church since her founding by Our Lord Jesus C

LGBT people are starved of the truth of the Gospel in today’s world. I should know. I was one of them.   I divorced my wife, left the Church and lived as a gay man for more than a decade. I even  publicly promoted same-sex marriage . Since then, attracted first by the irresistible pull of natural law and then the Gospel, I have returned to my wife, pulled our family back together, returned to full communion with the Catholic Church and am now a marriage, family, and children's rights activist. Increasing numbers in the church think it is a kindness to refrain from speaking truthfully to the same-sex attracted and gender-challenged. This is a dangerous untruth, jeopardizing millions of lives. Cardinal Sarah  recently made an impassioned plea to his brother priests and bishops to stop depriving the same-sex attracted from the ‘hard parts of the Gospel’ and to instead lavish us with its life-giving truth that we too might live in freedom as sons and daughter of God. I

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) CHARLOTTE, North Carolina,  – A U.S. Catholic diocese called off an annual charitable event rather than host a performer living in obvious violation of Church teaching on marriage. The Diocese of Charlotte, N.C. , confirmed for LifeSiteNews it did not follow through with its March 12 Catholic Charities Gala for Hope in Asheville once it learned the entertainer booked for the event is in a homosexual “marriage,” and said that it was not acceptable for the diocese to have someone perform at one of its events while the person is in open conflict with Church teaching. Singer Katrina (Kat) Williams appeared the last two years for the event and was booked to perform again, but said she was informed March 1 by Catholic Charities Executive Director Gerry Carter she would not be needed for this year’s event because Charlotte Bishop Peter Jugis had read a 2013

Voice of the Family   has also drawn attention recently to the concerted attempts by western agencies and governments to impose contraception, abortion and the homosexual agenda on African nations . We have similarly reported on the disturbing collaboration between Vatican departments and the leading architects of the population control movement. CNA reports that the “Swiss Catholic Lenten Fund and a major U.S. foundation have helped fund an LGBT activist project intended to counter West African bishops at the Catholic Church ’s Synod on the Family.” The organisation in question, the Netherlands-based European Forum of

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the 14th Amendment requires all 50 states to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples and recognize those marriages performed in other states. Among professing Christendom, there has been everything from shock, outrage, fear, and indifference. Whatever our response, surprise must not be one of them and anchoring in God ’s word must be all of them. In addition to what the Cripplegate has previously said on this issue , here are a few things for us to keep in mind in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling: 1. The God of the Bible reigns in unrivalled sovereignty and supremacy. “Remember the former things long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end f
