GAY TRUTH

Expecting Catholic school employees to abide by long-standing Catholic morals will be added to the legal understanding of “discrimination,” if a case currently before the Alberta Human Rights Commission succeeds against Calgary Catholic School District. At issue is the district’s language in teacher contracts that holds them to “Catholic values,” particularly a “lifestyle and deportment in harmony with Catholic teaching and principles.” The Calgary Herald reports that Barb Hamilton, a former principal in the district, is one of two people suing over the requirement; another teacher has chosen to remain anonymous. Hamilton has filed her human-rights complaints on “marital status, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation” grounds, Catholic News Agency reports . “Their perspective is I resigned and my perspective is I wasn’t given a choice,” she claims. “Relationships that would be acceptable are those recognized by the Catholic Church, that have to be acknowledged by a Catholic priest...

Amid blasphemy by the chair of New Testament studies at the Jesuit College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass ., comes real hope – from the courageous student who exposed the scandal, and from Worcester's Bishop Robert McManus who publicly chastised both the College and the professor. It was student Elinor Reilly (no relation to the Newman Society 's president) who brought attention to the writings of Professor Tat-siong Benny Liew in  her report  in  The Fenwick Review , a faithful and conservative voice at Holy Cross. Liew, she reported, claimed Jesus was a "drag king" with "queer desires." Liew reportedly theorized that Saint John's references to Jesus and water "speak to Jesus' gender indeterminacy and hence his cross-dressing and other queer desires." And there's more… Jesus washing the apostles' feet, was, according to Liew, "suggestive," and "even seductive." "What I am suggestin...

One of America ’s leading public Christians and recognised by   Time Magazine   as a leader among evangelicals, he has just published his own book about the same-sex marriage crisis entitled   We Cannot Be Silent .  Until recently, there have been few Australian voices resisting this cultural tsunami and the foaming rainbow wash sweeping everything in its path.  It has fallen to a humble Toowoomba -based family GP , my friend Doctor David van Gend, to pen what is a damning indictment of the idea of redefining marriage in the Australian context.  Stealing from a Child – the injustice of ‘ marriage equality ’   is a very provocative title.  Doc, couldn’t you have toned it down a little, I wondered.  But the leaders of the successful Irish campaign to redefine marriage admitted in their book,   Ireland Says Yes , that our side’s concern for the right of children to be all...

The principal of a Catholic school on the Main Line who sparked outrage after reportedly firing a teacher because she is in a same-sex marriage resigned on Friday, according to reports. Nell Stetser, five-year principal of Waldron Mercy Academy , announced her resignation via email on Friday citing a personal decision to leave her post, Philly Voice reported . Stetser raised public ire after she fired Margie Winters, director of religious education , in July 2015 for being a lesbian. Winters said she told the school about her relationship when she was hired eight months prior. According to 6ABC , a parent complained to the school upon learning about Winters’ relationship. Kimberly M. Baxter, chair of the school's Board of Trustees , sent out an email on Friday directly after Stetser’s was sent writing that Stetser had informed the board of her plan to resign on Wednesday. Baxter called Stetser a "true woman of Mercy" who has "led our school with great integrity,...

Pope Francis warned on Saturday of a " global war " against traditional marriage and the family, saying both were under attack from gender theory and divorce . Francis made his comments in an impromptu response to a question at a meeting of the small Catholic community in the ex- Soviet republic of Georgia . "You mentioned a great enemy of marriage: gender theory," the pope said in response to a woman who had asked about it being taught in schools. He did not elaborate. Gender theory is broadly the concept that while a person may be biologically male or female, they have the right to identify themselves as male, female, both or neither. "Today, there is a global war out to destroy marriage," Francis said. "Not with weapons but with ideas ... we have to defend ourselves from ideological colonization." The pope has used the phrase "ideological colonization" in the past to denounce what he says are attempts by rich c...

A small group of Catholic parishioners in Providence, Rhode Island , protested the removal of a recently ‘married’ homosexual music director by wearing rainbow-colored paraphernalia to the Sunday morning service and singing a song about inclusion during the recitation of the Nicene Creed . Satan was singing along. Fr. Francesco Francese, who took over St. Mary’s parish earlier this summer, removed Michael Templeton from his role as music director after discovering that the homosexual had ‘married’ his same-sex partner last year. As many as 30 parishioners joined in the singing of “All are welcome” instead of joining in with Fr. Francese in reciting the creed. They told reporters afterward that this was their way of protesting Templeton’s removal. Satan was pleased with these parishioners. The Nicene Creed is an ancient Catholic statement of belief going back to 325 A.D. that is recited immediately after the homily. Part of the creed has Catholics professing belief in a Chur...

Fourteen-year-old female student Madelyn Catrambone wants two things: to go to a Christian (Catholic) school and to be a boy. Camden Catholic High School told her she can't have it both ways. After talking at length with Madelyn’s parents, Principal Heather Crisci concluded that fidelity to the school's Catholic beliefs include not treating a girl as if she were a boy. Catholic diocesan spokesman Michael Walsh   clarified   that Camden Catholic High has not refused to admit Madelyn, but it cannot admit Madelyn as a boy because that would "contradict Catholic teaching on gender identity." "As a Catholic school , our principal mission is to form students in the faith and we must always be true to the teachings of that Faith, even — indeed especially — when those teachings are challenged by the secular world," Walsh stated, explaining that Catholicism and the Pope hold that biological sex and gender may be "distinguished but not se...

Complete interview with   The Book of Gomorrah ’s translator Matthew Hoffman. LifeSiteNews:   Do you see movements or stirrings happening within the Church today that are similar to what St. Peter Damian was fighting against a thousand years ago? What are some examples? Hoffman:   The situation of the Catholic Church in the 11th century, when Damian lived, resembles our own time in some disturbing ways. The priesthood back then had been infiltrated by a large number of morally lax men who had little respect for sexual morality, including homosexuals who made “prostitutes” out of their “spiritual sons,” in the words of Damian. Unlike today, however, many priests were openly living in immoral unions with concubines or illicit wives, and did little to hide other scandalous personal behavior. This behavior even included some popes, who set a bad example for the rest of the Church. Damian reminded Pope Leo IX of the traditional law that was to be applied to prie...
