Vatican official: Gay marriage a “revolutionary project” for “complete destruction of the family”

Image
ROME , March 14, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The doctrine of “equal marriage” is a slogan created by post-Christian , socialist revolutionaries as a political tool to create a totally new cultural paradigm of morality that can only be implemented after the “complete destruction of the family unit,” a high-level Vatican official told an audience in Britain last week. Bishop Jean Laffitte, Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Family , spoke to an audience at the Student Union Hall of St. Mary’s University College in Twickenham on “Marriage and the Family in a Culture of Relativism ." Vatican Family Secretary Jean Laffitte does not see redefining marriage as a civil rights issue. He warned of a massive, international effort to rewrite social norms in the formerly Christian countries of the West that has resulted in the “extremely rapid extension” of laws “that endanger the very survival of the family.” He affirmed what many in the pro-family movment have lo

PARIS , February 12, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – In a vote of 329-to-229, the Lower House of the French parliament has voted to bring in “gay marriage,” a decision that is generating a surprising force of opposition in this heavily secularised country. The bill must now go on to the Senate for final approval. The bill proposes to change the legal definition of marriage to being between two persons instead of a man and a woman, and allows same-sex partners to adopt children. The gay 'marriage' bill is backed by President François Hollande ’s Socialists Backed by President François Hollande’s Socialists and other left-wing MPs , the bill has prompted some spectacular public outpourings of opposition. Among those demonstrating against the bill are some homosexuals who say that it is not necessary to change the definition of marriage, given that existing civil partnership legislation grants most of the same privileges and rights. Religious leaders have objected that t

January 14, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A million. And more. The turnout for this Sunday’s demonstration against French President François Hollande ’s move to legalize same-sex “marriage” reached gigantic and even un-hoped for proportions. Paris was covered with blue, white and pink flags marking grassroot France’s opposition to the unthinkable, as three apparently endless distinct marches converged at the foot of the Eiffel tower . The triple itinerary was mandated by the Parisian police, and was seen by many as an attempt by the minister of the Interior to weaken the event visually by dividing its forces. It turned out to be a Godsend. The first demonstrators started leaving the three departure points an hour before intended, at noon, but even so, the last marchers didn't start until 4 p.m. Thousands upon thousands of people slowly covered the three to four mile-long routes, stopping and going as if in a traffic jam because of their sheer numbers. At half past two,

Speaking to Catholic radio, RCF, the cardinal went on to caution, “Once it’s legalized, the consequences will be innumerable. They’ll want to create couples with three or four members. After that, perhaps one day, the taboo of incest will fall.” “The word ‘marriage’ means a rampart, designed to protect the most fragile place in society, where a woman gives birth to a child, so that all conditions are met for everything to go as well as possible”, explained the cardinal. Expanding on a phrase he used in August saying that “the Parliament is not God the Father”, Barbarin added: “For us, the first page of t

Rita and John's Marriage Certificate (Photo credit: mary hodder ) PARIS, September 12, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – There will be no allowances made for conscientious or religious objection in upcoming French legislation instituting “gay marriage,” the French minister of Justice, Christiane Taubira , revealed in an interview today. Speaking to the mainstream Catholic daily  La Croix , Taubira gave the broad outlines of the same-sex “marriage” bill to be presented by the government by the end of October. That Taubira chose the quasi-official newspaper of the French Catholic bishops conference is being seen as a strategic move to head off Catholic and other religious objections. She acknowledged in the interview that the change would constitute a “societal and legal revolution.” The socialist Hollande government, elected in May, is wasting no time fulfilling its promise to bring the legislation forward. Most observers expected that the bill would not be introduced before the
