Courageous Christians Resisting the Rainbow Warriors

Image
Homosexual marriage changes everything. I and others have made this warning for decades now. And on a daily basis we see the frightening truth of this. Everyone is impacted by such radical social and legal changes. We are all at risk. And Christians are especially being targeted. I have documented numerous cases of anti- Christian bigotry both in my books and on my website. One could monitor all this on a full time basis, and still have a hard time keeping up. Here are more cases of the attack on faith and freedom by the homosexual militants. But these are also stories of courageous Christian resistance. Here I offer three recent stories coming out of North America of steadfast believers who have refused to bow the knee to the rainbow gods, but have stood fast, even when that means suffering very real consequences. The first story comes from Illinois: A Christian’s 14-year career is being threatened because he refused to watch a training video on lesbian, homosexual, bi

Pope urges US Catholics to ‘bear witness’ to natural marriage amid attacks

U.S. Supreme Court building. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Pope Francis is urging American Catholics facing an unprecedented cultural and political assault on marriage to continue to “bear witness” to marriage as a “life-long covenant of love and fidelity between a man and a woman.” “Elevated by the Savior to the dignity of a sacrament, marriage is, in the Creator’s plan, a natural institution, a life-long covenant of love and fidelity between a man and a woman, directed to their perfection and sanctification, and to the future of our human family,” said the pope. “Today, when the institution of marriage is under attack from powerful cultural forces, the faithful are called to bear witness to this basic truth of biblical faith and natural law, which is essential to the wise and just ordering of society,” he communicated in a   letter to the Knights of Columbus   on the occasion of their 133rd Supreme Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania . The message was addressed to the S

Judge refuses to delay same-sex ‘marriage’ lawsuit in Wisconsin

MADISON, WI ,  – A federal judge will  allow  a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Wisconsin’s ban on same-sex “marriage” to continue, over the objections of state officials. The state of Wisconsin had asked the court to delay proceedings pending the results of another case pertaining to domestic partnerships.  But U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb refused, saying she believes the domestic partnership case can only serve to boost gay couples’ legal prospects, so waiting on the results is pointless. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb “Abstaining or staying the case would serve no purpose but to delay the case,” Crabb wrote. “As the [homosexual] plaintiffs point out, if the Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds the domestic partnership law , nothing changes.  If the court invalidates the law, the only effect is to make the deprivation imposed on plaintiffs by [the marriage amendment] more severe. Thus, it is difficult to envision any scenario in which the state defendant

New York Times ad calls Catholic Church ‘autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting’ Old Boys Club

NEW YORK, March 13, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Catholics and non-Catholics alike have reacted to a viciously anti-Catholic   full-page advertisement  in Friday’s  New York Times . The Freedom From Religion Foundation ’s ad, which takes the form of  a letter to a “liberal Catholic,”   asks “Cafeteria” Catholics, “Why are you propping up the pillars of a tyrannical and autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting, antediluvian Old Boys Club?” Its authors accuse “the conscienceless Catholic Church ” of “launching a vengeful modern-day Inquisition” by opposing the HHS mandate that religious employers provide contraception, sterilization, and abortifacient drugs in their health insurance coverage. “No politician should jeopardize electability for failure to genuflect before the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops .” They tell those who do not believe in the Magisterium of the Church, “Your continuing Catholic membership, as a ‘liberal,’ casts a veneer of respectability upon an irrational s
