Image via Wikipedia TORONTO, Ontario , December 13, 2011 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A major wing of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) is calling on the union to ensure teachers at Catholic schools who are in homosexual relationships are eligible for hiring and promotion despite their dissent to the Church’s prohibition of homosexual relations.  The Toronto OECTA group is also calling for the union to formally endorse gay-straight clubs. On November 24th, OECTA’s Toronto Secondary Unit (TSU) passed resolutions to make these two proposals at the controversial union’s annual general meeting in March. The votes come at the same time as OECTA has openly celebrated its partnership with homosexual lobby group Egale in a statement praising a new bill by Dalton McGuinty ’s Liberals cracking down on homosexual bullying. LifeSiteNews exposed OECTA’s partnership with Egale last December, causing a stir among members who objected to having their union dues support one o

While the cleric said he felt “vindicated” by the change, the school says the change simply reflects recent changes in city non-discrimination rules. Chestnut Hill College leaders earlier this year explained that the college terminated an adjunct teaching contract with Jim St. George, who presented himself as “Fr. George,” when the college discovered that he was engaged in a long-term relationship with another man. St. George is a member of the  Old Catholic Apostolic Church of the Americas , a group that broke away from the Catholic Church in the 19th century. “At the time St. George joined our faculty, he presented himself as Father St. George and openly wore a tradi

Lawmakers removed a repeal of Article 125 in the Uniform Code of Military Justice in this year’s Defense Authorization Bill, which had  passed the Senate last week , while finalizing the language out of conference, according to FRC. Article 125 states: “(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.” Congressional aides had hinted to media last week that the repeal was not likely to survive. Among allies against the repeal was People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal

ABUJA, Nigeria, December 14, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nigeria’s Catholic bishops are praising the country’s Senate for its “courageous and hope-inducing decision” to pass a bill outlawing same-sex unions and public displays of homosexuality last month. The bill,  passed  Nov. 29th, came amidst threats by foreign leaders, especially U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron , of aid cuts if Image via Wikipedia  African countries fail to enshrine special rights for homosexuals. On December 7th, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria issued a  statement  saying the vote to outlaw same-sex unions and “all such public manifestations” came as a “great relief” to most Nigerians . “We wish to strongly support the prohibition of same-sex union as an expression both of our cultural values as Nigerians and our religious belief as Christians,” they wrote.

BROKEN HILL, Australia , December 14, 2011 - A Catholic bishop in Australia has ordered one of his schools to overturn a decision refusing admission to a girl whose ‘parents’ are in a homosexual relationship, calling the decision “absolutely appalling.” “[There is] no way in the world that we can persecute a child because of what their parents did,” Bishop Kevin Manning, apostolic administrator for the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes , told The Australian on Wednesday in response to media reports that the girl’s application for 2012 to Sacred Heart Primary School in Broken Hill had been rejected. Bishop Kevin Manning “You can’t discriminate against a child on the grounds that the parents are in a homosexual relationship,” he continued.  “You are vesting the sins of the parents on the child - it’s quite wrong.” Though the bishop ordered the school to offer a spot to the girl, the homosexual couple have rejected it. The incident prompted a member of the New South Wales Green party to ca

December 13, 2011 - The U.S. Senate has blocked the appointment of a controversial homosexualist nominee to the position of ambassador to El Salvador, in a 49-37 vote that upheld a filibuster against a vote on the nominati Image via Wikipedia on. The Associated Press acknowledged that nomination of Marie Carmen Aponte failed in large part because of her open support for the homosexual agenda in El Salvador, which sparked a protest to the U.S. Senate on the part of El Salvadoran civil organizations. Aponte outraged pro-family organizations in El Salvador by writing an opinion article for the La Prensa Grafica newspaper in which she denounced “homophobia,” which she said was “based on the lack of understanding of what it really means to be homosexual or transgender.” The White House immediately responded with a statement denouncing the blockage of the nomination. “Today’s filibuster is one more example of the type of political posturing and partisanship the American people are tir

Image via Wikipedia December 14, 2011  - Catholic Church officials have joined the Colombian government ’s prosecutorial wing in opposing the adoption of two children by an American homosexual activist. “The problem is not that the person is single, but rather that he should be a mature person psychologically, emotionally and in his sexual identity,” said Juan Vicente Cordoba, secretary of the Episcopal Conference . “In Colombia adoption to same-sex couples has not been allowed, therefore it hasn’t been awarded to homosexual singles either because the problem is not because the individual is alone, but rather because of his homosexuality,” added Cordoba. As LifeSiteNews   reported yesterday , American homosexual activist Chandler Burr , a journalist, was recently awarded custody of two Colombian children, ages 13 and 10. However, by Burr’s own admission, he never informed authorities of his homosexual orientation ; when it discovered, his custodial rights were withdrawn. Although
