GAY TRUTH

Homosexuality is an issue that has been shaped by Western values , and is now front-and-center in almost every country and culture around the world, especially those societies influenced by secular humanism. But even more traditional societies, such as those in Africa, have not gone unaffected by it, given how social media shrinks our globe. In polemics over homosexuality, Catholicism is often falsely accused of being both “homophobic” and “anti-science.” But the Catholic Church is far from being against science, a fact that can be seen by the large number of priests who have been top scientists, such as Georges Lemaître, who proposed the Big Bang theory , and Gregor Mendel , the father of modern genetics. In fact, the Church encourages the upright work of scientists in all fields. Simply reading what the Church officially teaches about science—today and historically—would easily confirm this positive view (e.g., see parts 1 and 2 of the Introduction of the Congregation for th

Around a hundred people gathered at the Pilgrim Centre “Santa Teresa Couderc” in Rome , for the international conference entitled Ways of Love: Snapshots of Catholic Encounters With LGBT People and Their Families, sponsored by the “Global Network of Rainbow Catholics”, a worldwide network of organisations that, in the name of “social justice”, demands inclusion and dignity for LGBT people and their families within the Catholic Church and society in general. The meeting was attended by Catholic pastoral leaders from around the world, who came together to share, through their stories, their pastoral approach and work in favour of LGBT people within their ecclesiastical communities. In addition to drawing up new action plans, a clear and stated objective of the initiative was to apply some pressure to the impending crucial Ordinary Synod of Bishops on the topic of the Family, which opened in Rome on Monday 5th October. Presenting the event, two of the conference spokespersons, Andre

The website of the German Bishops' Conference , katholisch.de,  reported yesterday  on the first case of a practicing homosexual permitted to remain in a position at a Catholic Church institution despite a flagrant and public violation of the Church's moral law. The woman who heads a Caritas Day Care Center in Bavaria , had been asked in April to leave her position due to her announcement that she was going to “marry” a woman.  The decision has now been rescinded, according to Fr. Hans Lindenberger, head of the Caritas in Munich, Germany . Cardinal Reinhard Marx , who is the Archbishop of the Diocese of Munich, has agreed to implement the Church's new Labor Law on August 1. The new Church Labor Law,  approved by the German Bishops' Conference  at the end of April 2015, drastically liberalized the Catholic Church's disciplinary rules in Germany . In the past, employees who did not live according to the Church's moral teaching might have been asked to

Robin Teresa Beck , 59, is not afraid to tell anyone, even Pope Francis himself, that homosexuality turned her life into a living hell of suffering, darkness, smashed dreams, and lasting regret. And after 35 years of homosexual behavior over the course of 12 relationships, Robin knows exactly what she’s talking about.  “From my experience, it is impossible to have a healthy gay relationship because it goes against the way God made us to be,” she told LifeSiteNews, calling it “cruel” for any religious leader to look favorable upon such a relationship. It was only five years ago that everything changed for Robin, a staunch Protestant who twisted scripture to suit her gay lifestyle, when one day — on a whim — she decided to enter a Catholic Church to receive ashes during the Lenten Ash Wednesday service. She only came for the ashes, but God had other plans.  Robin Beck, 59. Courtesy of Robin Beck Robin tells the dramatic story of her life in her 2012 book  I just came for Ashes

Cardinal Keith O’Brien , who leads the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland , has come out in fierce opposition to plans to legalize homosexual “marriage” in England and Wales . After publishing a  ringing denunciation  in Britain’s Telegraph newspaper entitled “We cannot afford to indulge this madness,” the cardinal went on  BBC Radio’s Today program , hosted by John Humphrys , to defend his position. Cardinal Keith O'Brien Humphrys asked O’Brien to explain his affirmation in the Telegraph that homosexual “marriage” represents “a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right” which would “shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world.” “I think if the United Kingdom does go for and supports same sex marriage, it is indeed shaming our country,” O’Brien told Humphrys. “We’re taking standards which are not just our own, but standards from the declaration on human rights of the United Nations where marriage is defined as a relationship between man and woman and turning

VATICAN , November 28, 2011 – One of the highest ranking cardinals in the Vatican has said that the United States is “well on the way” to the persecution of Christians.  Cardinal Raymond Burke Cardinal Raymond Burke, former Archbishop of St. Louis and now the head of the Vatican’s highest court, told  Catholic News Agency  that he could envision a time when the Catholic Church in the U.S., “even by announcing her own teaching,” is accused of “engaging in illegal activity, for instance, in its teaching on human sexuality.” Asked if the cardinal could even see American Catholics being arrested for their faith he replied, “I can see it happening, yes.” In his remarks to several U.S. Bishops meeting with him Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI   made  similarly emphatic warnings about the U.S. The pope told the bishops that “the seriousness of the challenges which the Church in America, under your leadership, is called to confront in the near future cannot be underestimated.”  He added: “The

During an interview with the Spanish publication Primera Hora , Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez , the Archbishop of San Juan , Puerto Rico , asked Martin to promote values that are shared by all, and noted that “fomenting homosexuality or sexual promiscuity among our young people is certainly immoral, regardless of where it comes from.” Martin, who took on a homosexual identity recently after years of identifying as a heterosexual, has announced that his new musical tour will include “sex games,” which he said “is part of my new way of life.” “I personally admire Ricky for the great artistic gifts which the Lord has given him, but I ask that, for the love of his children, for whom I imagine he wishes the best, to try to give an example to
