During the last days of June and the first week of July, there have been meetings of the Minister of Justice, Javiera Blanco, with the homosexual lobby to address the legalization of adoption of children by homosexuals.

May 16, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A bill to prohibit “discrimination” against homosexuals recently passed by the Chilean National Congress is likely to result in the approval of homosexual “marriage” and adoption, and may even lead to the persecution of Christians , according to HazteOir Chile (“Make Yourself Heard - Chile”). The bill, which passed the Senate on May 9, prohibits “every distinction, exclusion, or restriction” against homosexuals and other groups, “that lacks a reasonable justification, carried out by agents of the government or individuals” and states that “any crime motivated by an ideological or discriminatory situation, whether for religion, race, ethnicity, condition, or sexual orientation , can be considered an aggravating factor by the judge at the time of evaluating, for the purposes of sentencing, an attitude that [the convicted] might have had for the purpose of discriminating against or diminishing another.” HazteOir Chile issued a statement callin...

Top Chile court overwhelmingly rejects same-sex ‘marriage’

Image
Image via Wikipedia Image by Getty Images via @daylife ANTIAGO, Chile  – Chile’s Constitutional Tribunal has rejected an effort seeking to force the country to recognize the “ marriages ” of three same-sex couples. The court , which is the nation’s highest authority on constitutional matters, voted 9-1 on Nov. 3rd against the suit challenging the constitutionality of Chile’s Civil Code , which recognizes marriage as the union of “a man and a woman.” The three homosexual couples, who were aided by Chile’s Homosexual Integration and Liberation Movement (MOVILH), sought to register themselves as “married” in September 2010, but were refused.  Two of the couples had already contracted “marriages” in Canada and Argentina respectively. The justices ruled that the definition of marriage falls under the jurisdiction of parliament, not the court. It is up to the legislature to regulate “ civil union between two persons, independently of their sexual orientation, including opening...

Image via Wikipedia Chilean Cardinal Jorge Medina yesterday vigorously denounced an initiative, recently endorsed by President Sebastian Piñera , to give legal recognition to homosexual couples, according to the Catholic news service ACI Prensa. Calling the proposed legislation “lamentable” in an interview on Chile ’s Radio Bío Bío , the cardinal called on homosexuals to “avoid contact with homosexual people,” because “we know how that can end up,” and observed, “It’s an effort, but the whole Christian life requires an effort.” “Science has not yet clarified the origins of homosexual tendencies,” Medina noted. “A person can have them, but live in conformity with morality, that is, not live with a partner, not get carried away by the very strong impulse of homosexuality.” The cardinal called homosexual unions “unacceptable” and noted that “ Saint Paul says that those who participate in sodomy will not see the kingdom of God.  Nothing stronger than that can be said.” Medin...
