Immoral LGBT activists to set up ‘safe space’ at World Youth Day

-

LGBT activists in Poland will advocate their issues in a shadow outreach at this year’s World Youth Day.
Heads of the Warsaw-based “Faith And Rainbow LGBT” group hope to reach thousands of gay, lesbian and transgender individuals at the Catholic Church’s triennial international event in Krakow, and to do so they have set up an “LGBT Pilgrims Haven.”
"We want to create a space in which they will feel safe and where they will find answers to issues facing them," said Misza Czerniak, one of the organizers.
The “LGBT Pilgrims Haven” will take place in a cafe in Krakow's Kazimierz Jewish quarter.
World Youth Day runs July 25-31 and is expected to draw about two million people to the city.
This year’s theme is "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" from Matthew 5:7, the fifth of the eight Beatitudes imparted by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. World Youth Day includes Masses, catechetical sessions, and youth festivals. Pope Francis is scheduled to take part in some of the various events beginning on the third day continuing through the gathering’s end.
World Youth Day also includes a vocations center to help the youth and young adults in attendance to discern what God expects from them in their lives and to become familiar with the Catholic Church’s spiritual richness.
Among the activists taking part in the Polish LGBT event alongside World Youth Day is Rev. Jim Mulcahy, a U.S.-born Jesuit, according to the group’s information, who “is an experienced pastor and spiritual father of many LGBT believers.” He is currently a pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church, lives in Ukraine, and “is a special ecumenical guest of our Haven.”
Also presenting at the LGBT event will be Brendan Fay, chairman of the Lavender and Green Alliance, the second homosexual activist group to march in the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in March this year after OUT@NBCUniversal wasgiven the go-ahead to march in the 2015 parade.
The “Faith And Rainbow LGBT” group’s effort is the first reported outside event in conflict with the Church’s teaching scheduled during this year’s World Youth Day in Poland, a largely Catholic country.
The Church’s teaching states that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, and contrary to the natural law. It further states that while individuals experiencing homosexual tendencies are to be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity, they are called to chastity.
Regarding transgenderism, the Catholic Church teaches that God created humans as male and female and that the Lord does not make mistakes. And according to the Catechism, “Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual identity.”
Dissenting organizations have attempted to use World Youth Day and other international Catholic Church gatherings to subvert Catholic teaching in the past.
LGBT activists also converged on both Synods on the Family called by Pope Francis in in hopes of advancing their cause, as well as organizing in Philadelphia last fall during the Holy Father’s appearance at the World Meeting of Families.
U.S.-based pro-abortion group “Catholics for Choice” tried to run condom advertisements during World Youth Day in 2011, and the group had distributed condoms to World Youth Day attendees earlier in Toronto and Cologne.
Krakow’s Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz, head of the archdiocese organizing World Youth Day, said earlier this spring that he hoped the event would help spark a religious and moral revival in Europe.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Christian baker must make ‘wedding’ bakes for gay couples, court rules

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
