Barbara Johnson attended her mother’s funeral last Saturday and introduced her lesbian partner to the priest before Mass. Fr. Marcel Guarnizo of St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg, Maryland, covered the Host as she approached and told her, “I can’t give you Communion because you live with a woman, and in the eyes of the Church, that is a sin.”  Afterwards, she wrote him a letter telling him, “I will do everything in my power to see that you are removed from parish life so that you will not be permitted to harm any more families.” Auxiliary Bishop Barry Knestout wrote a formal  letter of apology  telling Johnson, “I am sorry that what s...

They also pointed out that the song’s lyrics contain a “worldview which [is] offensive to most religions as well as atheism. ”Burnaby Parents’ Voice had argued in a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister George Abbott that Lady Gaga and her song ‘ Born This Way ’ are not appropriate “learning resource[s] in public schools.” In one verse Gaga si...

The law cannot be divorced from reality, from nature. The moment this happens, law becomes arbitrary, the whim of the ruling power: it becomes tyranny. Last week, the Maryland Senate passed the Civil Marriage Protection Act by a 25–22 vote. The Maryland House of Delegates had passed the bill on Friday, February 17, by a 71–67 vote, and Governor Martin O’Malley has vowed to sign it. This bill will grant the legal status of marriage to any two non-related consenting adults, irrespective of their sex. Why is this important, and how does it affect even those who do not live in Maryland ? Isn’t it best just to let people do what they want with their lives and leave well enough alone, as long as we are left in peace to do what we want with our lives? That’s a pipedream. This law is a misnomer, and its passage signals the destruction of, not greater protection for, marriage. Let me explain why. Nature Matters First, let’s step back from the rhetoric and define our terms. Fundamentally, ...

According to the  January issue  of the New Brunswick Disease Watch Bulletin, infection numbers have gone from fewer than five cases per year before 2008, to 9 in 2009, 37 in 2010 and 57 last year, with 10 cases already reported in the first two months of this year. The New Brunswick Health Department is particularly concerned that most of the syphilis infections are occurring in the homosexual community. “Since late 2009, 92 per cent of cases have been male. Most male cases have reported only male sex partners ( MSM ),” the Disease Watch Bulletin states, highlighting that the disease does not seem to involve traditional...

DALLAS, February 28, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A lesbian judge in Texas says she will not perform wedding ceremonies for heterosexuals until the state allows homosexuals to “ marry ” as well. Dallas County Judge Tonya Parker told the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas at a meeting last Tuesday that it would be “oxymoronic” for her to perform wedding ceremonies that can’t be performed for her. Judge Tonya Parker She said that when couples appear in her courtroom, she directs them to another judge, but not before using the opportunity to “give them a lesson about marriage equality .” “I usually will offer them something along the lines of, ‘I’m sorry. I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality, and until it does, I am not going to partially apply the law to one group of people that doesn’t apply to another group of people,’” she said. After her speech received national attention, she elaborated on the legal ramifications of he...

The gay fathers of a six-year-old Australian boy have been arrested in Los Angeles after being indicted on child sexual exploitation charges relating to their own son. The men, a US citizen and resident of Queensland in his 40s, and his partner, an Australian citizen in his 30s from north Queensland, were arrested in a 6am raid at a house in Los Angeles, on Thursday morning.

All men are charged with counts of conspiracy to sexually exploit a child and the sexual exploitation of a child. The indictment carries no direct information on what the seized material allegedly depicts. The...

Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Andrew Fraser introduced same sex unions into the Queensland parliament because he said it was "the right thing to do."   It is not uncommon to hear people insist on the constructed arbitrariness of moral values and yet denounce certain human actions as wrong because they violate human rights . In this case the perceived oppression of homosexuals in the Queensland community. That such a self-contradictory absurdity seems to be widespread and tends to escape the notice of its protagonists suggests both that it is deeply rooted and that it fulfills an important function. Its latter half depends on smuggling or the importation of unacknowledged premises and convictions from normative religious worldviews that protagonists like Fraser have discarded, and which are inadmissible on Fraser's own naturalist terms. If rape or murder is wrong, then all moral values are not arbitrary, and therefore there must be a ...

LONDON, February 27, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The government is allowing “homophobia” to be promoted in religious schools, in the form of a booklet distributed to students at some Catholic schools in Lancashire, says the UK ’s largest trades union. In a letter to Education Secretary Michael Gove in December, Brendan Barber , head of the powerful Trades Union Congress , (TUC), wrote, “Schools now have a legal duty to challenge all forms of prejudice. Such literature undermines this completely.” At issue is the booklet titled, “Pure Manhood: How to become the man God wants you to be,” by American chastity speaker Jason Evert. It says that “homosexual attractions” may “stem from an unhealthy relationship” with a man’s father, “an inability to relate to other guys, or even sexual abuse.” Reiterating the Catechism of the Catholic Church , the booklet went on to say, “The homosexual act is disordered, much like contraceptive sex between heterosexuals. Both acts are directed against God...
