Gender ideology and other dogmas of the new global order

Image
Under the guise of fighting homophobia, sex education , freedom of choice, LGBT rights, and non-discrimination we are experiencing the imposition of gender ideology.  An ideology that is asserted all over the world with religious fervor. Unlike the Christian faith however, this set of beliefs is imposed rather than proposed. It is the intellectual underpinning of the homosexual movement.  It proposes that a person’s sex is not biologically determined but that it was historically socially constructed and that individuals should have the choice to determine their own sex – or gender.  It is a belief system that denies bodily reality and forbids even the consideration of the risk factors associated with abnormal sexual activity.  It employs the education system, national legislation, attacks on religion and the Church in an effort to achieve total adherence. To demonstrate how ubiquitous is the new faith, you may note that there are now 71 different genders to choose from when y

Same-sex “marriage” advocate Gregory Baum lauded by Fr. Thomas Rosica

Image
Liberal Catholic press-people have recently touted a man some call Canada ’s leading dissenter since the 1960s - former Catholic priest Gregory Baum - because of his role as an expert, or peritus, to the Canadian bishops at Vatican II.  Baum, an advocate of homosexual ‘marriage’ and sex outside of marriage and contraception, was lauded by Fr. Thomas Rosica of Salt and Light TV, Michael Swan of the Catholic Register and also given free reign in the pages of the Scarboro Foreign Missions magazine. Had he merely publicly rejected Catholicism, Baum would not have been as grave a danger to the Church and especially its moral teachings. Despite the automatic excommunication he incurred for marrying an ex-nun while still a priest, Baum continued to speak lovingly of Jesus and the Gospels as he repudiated many of the principles of faith and morals revealed by Christ and in Sacred Scripture.  One of the tools of repudiation was the dissenting  Catholic New Times  newspaper co-founded

False sensitivity: ‘Misleading’ people on sexual morals is not ‘loving’

St. Peter's Basilica at Early Morning (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Canada and the West is in a crisis caused by ideologies that oppose the institution of marriage and the family, said Ottawa Catholic Archbishop Terrence Prendergast at a conference on the family on the weekend. “At the root of it is, as Pope Benedict called it, the Dictatorship of Relativism. We don’t get to make the rules. God makes the rules. Or rather, God has designed us beautifully, and written his plan for our happiness in our hearts and on our bodies,” he said to participants at the conference which took place at Dominican University College in Ottawa. Prendergast alluded to a movement within the Church to have her change her teachings on sexual morality in order to accommodate people living in objective states of disorder, calling the motivation behind it a “false sensitivity or tolerance which suggests it’s good to allow people to continue down a dangerous path.” “As if misleading people is

Aggressive homosexual ideology silencing Christians: senior Cardinal

Image
Image via Wikipedia An “aggressive ideology ,” a behavioral theory of “complete debauchery,” is loose in the world, and appears to be winning against the traditional Christian culture of the west, said Cardinal Giacomo Biffi . The cleric made the remarks in a book of memoirs, titled “The Inconvenient Memoirs,” which has been republished and launched today in Rome with an additional section on the dangers of the homosexualist ideology. In these “shattered” times, the cardinal said, the new ideologies have resulted in an “intellectual blindness” and in the silencing of Christians who are intimidated by persecution by homosexuals and their ideological accomplices. But in the end, the cardinal wrote, the Church will not be defeated: “We are with the Lord of History.” The archbishop-emeritus of Bologna and dogmatic theologian is known to have been one of Joseph Ratzinger ’s strongest supporters in the last conclave and was briefly considered a contender for the papal throne himself

Premier Kristina Keneally berates George Pell

Image
Image via Wikipedia New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally has strongly berated Cardinal George Pell , saying she is greatly “saddened” by his recent comments criticizing Christian politicians who disregard Church teaching. She said she believes Pell risks being “interpreted as condemnatory and threatening.” Kealey who bills herself as a devout Catholic, opposes Church teaching on homosexuality and abortion. In an interview with the Herald Sun earlier this month, Cardinal Pell had criticized politicians who “fly under the Christian or Captain Catholic flag” but “blithely disregard Christian perspectives” when facing a vote on moral issues in parliament. “I read those comments from the Archbishop and, if anything, they saddened me,” Keneally  told  the Sunday Telegraph . “Almost every Catholic politician I know takes their responsibility as an elected representative and their faith very seriously,” said the Premier. “Many have really struggled, as have I, when moral issues requi
