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

VATICAN CITY , January 19, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - In a meeting with various U.S. Bishops today, Pope Benedict XVI said that the consensus which once existed in America supporting “ethical principles deriving from nature and nature’s God ,” has faded.  “Today that consensus has eroded significantly in the face of powerful new cultural currents which are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of the Judeo-Christian tradition , but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such,” he said.

VATICAN CITY , January 9, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – In his annual address to ambassadors to the Vatican today, Pope Benedict XVI warned that laws permitting abortion and undermining the traditional family are threatening “the future of humanity.”  Speaking particularly of the West , the Holy Father said, “I am convinced that legislative measures which not only permit but at times even promote abortion for reasons of convenience or for questionable medical motives compromise the education of young people and, as a result, the future of humanity.” Pope Benedict Similarly, the pope spoke of “the family, based on the marriage of a man and a woman,” noting that it “is not a simple social convention , but rather the fundamental cell of every society.”  He added: “Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself.” Benedict noted the ‘dark times’ we are living in currently due to economic and social unrest . “The present moment is

However, he emphasized that “some unnecessary confusion” exists with reference to the protection of sexual orientation.  Orientation, he said, “refers to feelings and thoughts, not behavior.” “States can and must regulate behaviors, including various sexual behaviors,” said the archbishop.  “Certain kinds of sexual behaviors must be forbidden by law. Pedophilia and incest are two examples.” A “disturbing trend” has become prominent of intolerance towards those who have moral opposition to h

In an address to political, business and social leaders of the city and province of Rome and the Lazio region , the pope said that the natural family , made up of one man and one woman bound in marriage with their children, is the “basic cell” of society in which “children learn the human and Christian values that make possible constructive and peaceful coexistence .” “The approval of forms of union that pervert the essence and end of the family, ends by penalizing all those who, not without effort, are committed to living stable affective bonds, guaranteed juridically and recognized publicly,” Benedict said. Lazio is the most populous of Italy ’s regions (equivalent to a state or a province) and is the country’s government and financial hub because it includes the capital city of Rome .
