Patti Jannuzzi was suspended from her job teaching theology at a Catholic school because she posted comments (in response to Dan Savage 's attacks on Dr. Ben Carson ) saying the " gay agenda " is trying to "re-engineer Western civilization." She was immediately attacked by celebrities like Susan Sarandon ... and it appears that she may be soon fired.

Ted Cruz slams courts for ‘ignoring the law’ by creating gay ‘marriage’

WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 18, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , R- TX , widely considered a potential contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, told an Iowa radio host last week that the growing number of federal court rulings striking down state laws defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman represent “a real danger to our liberty.” Explaining his plan to introduce a constitutional amendment to elicitly reserve the power to define marriage to individual states, Cruz told WHO presenter Jan Mickelson, “We have seen judges, and especially the Supreme Court , ignoring the law.” “If the courts were following the Constitution , we shouldn’t need a new amendment,” said Cruz, “but they are, as you put it quite rightly, 'making it up' right now and it’s a real danger to our liberty." “If the citizens of the state of Iowa or the citizens of the state of Texas want to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman … the sta

After backlash for calling homosexuality a ‘choice,’ Ben Carson trumpets his support for gay civil unions

March 5, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) -- Prospective Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is backtracking after he faced strong criticism for saying homosexuality is “absolutely” a choice, and claiming this is proved by the fact that many inmates come out of prison as homosexuals . But his apology is earning him a new set of critics because, though he affirmed his belief in traditional marriage , he also trumpeted his support for homosexual civil unions and defended the right of states to create same-sex “marriage.” "I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation ,” Carson wrote Wednesday in the apology on his Facebook page . "I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended." “Up until this point there have been no definitive studies that people are born into a specific sexuality,” Carson wrote. “We do know, however, that we are always born

Matthew Vines on the Homosexuality of Genesis 19 and Sodom and Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrha, Alte Pinakothek, Room 23 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Mr. Vines says, " Genesis 19 . The actions of the men of Sodom are intended to underscore their cruel treatment of outsiders--not to somehow tell us that they were gay . . . It’s now widely conceded by scholars on both sides of this debate that Sodom and Gomorrah do not offer biblical evidence to support the belief that homosexuality is a sin ." Matthew Vines cites no reference to demonstrate that it is "widely conceded by scholars on both sides of this debate that Sodom and Gomorrah do not offer  biblical  evidence to support the belief that homosexuality is a sin.”  Just saying it doesn't make it so.  In contradiction to his assertion, a quick look into commentaries on Genesis 19 provides the following: The term "sodomy” is derived from this passage. It is widely held that the severity of God ’s judgment of Sodom had to do with the prevalence of homosexuality there. 1 Sodom and

Religious Freedom and the homosexual agenda

Image
Barely five days after  The New York Times  ran a major news article on the firing of Atlanta ’s fire chief for his views on homosexuality, a major  Times  opinion writer declared that religious liberty is a fine thing, so long as it is restricted to “pews, homes, and hearts” — far from public consequence. The firing of Kelvin Cochran as chief of Atlanta’s Fire Rescue Department came after the city’s mayor, Kasim Reed , determined that the chief could not effectively manage the department after he had written a book in which he cited Scripture in defining homosexuality as a sin. The most crucial portion of the  Times  story includes the mayor’s rationale: “At a news conference, Mr. Reed said that Mr. Cochran’s ‘personal religious beliefs are not the issue.’ But Atlanta’s nondiscrimination policy, the mayor added, is ‘nonnegotiable.’ ‘Despite my respect for Chief Cochran’s service, I believe his actions and decision-making undermine his ability to effectively manage a large,

Former Navy chaplain faced death threats from gay activists during successful run for Colorado assembly

A former military chaplain who was discharged for publicly praying in uniform has won election to the Colorado General Assembly , despite several alleged death threats from homosexual activists. Gordon Klingenschmitt, Ph.D., was elected on Tuesday with 70 percent of the vote. However, the victory was marred by  three death threats  the controversial opponent of same-sex "marriage" says were received in the last two months.   According to Klingenschmitt, the threats came in September and October, after he publicly called for religious liberty for Christian business owners when it came to same-sex "marriage" ceremonies. One of the two emails received by the then-candidate referenced shooting Christians in the head, while a voice message told Klingenschmitt that the caller "will slit your [expletive expletive] throat." In his report to the FBI , the former Navy chaplain said that he wanted to press charges if the people making the threats could b

GOP’s gay outreach plan fails as both homosexual candidates for House are defeated

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) After five days of ballot counting, it’s official – neither of the two openly homosexual Republican candidates for U.S. House won their races last Tuesday. They lost despite strong public backing from Speaker of the House John Boehner , R-OH, and other high-profile GOP leaders, who aggressively promoted the two men as part of their “Young Guns” recruitment program after  concluding  in a post-2012 election report that the party’s position against same-sex “marriage” was hurting them with millennial voters. In Massachusetts , former state senator Richard Tisei was defeated by 14 percentage points by Democrat Seth Moulton, a former Marine and combat veteran.  Previously, Tisei had boycotted the state GOP convention because of its position against same-sex “marriage.”  “I don’t want to go and be seen in any way to be endorsing that,” said Tisei, who “married” his boyfriend Bernie Starr last year. “I don’t real
