GAY TRUTH

The time has come to look at homosexuality in the Church using a better lens. Lack of tolerance isn’t the problem. Affirmation of wrongly-ordered lives and trivialization of the Gospel, however, are, and they have served to diminish the meaning and power of the Cross of Christ, and the sublime beauty of His love for His Bride, the Church.  Our discussions about homosexuality have camouflaged the truth When it comes to discussions about the origins of same-sex attraction in people’s lives, only two possibilities are considered: Homosexuals are either ‘born that way,’ or we are that way because of some anomaly in our upbringing. The now firmly ensconced LGBT establishment has settled on ‘born that way’ because it allows gay activists to argue for constitutional protections based on an immutable characteristic, albeit a contrived one. It also allows homosexuals to endlessly portray themselves as victims. These are tactics, not truths, though they ‘feel’ like truth because they’ve ...

As Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn noted in his exhaustive research on leftism, there were two main political thrusts to the French Revolution hidden behind the ubiquitous and high-sounding slogan of liberté, égalité, fraternité.  One was the sexual politics exemplified by the Marquis de Sade’s horrifyingly perverse ideological leanings.  The other was the embrace of a leftist definition of equality.  Such was the success of two foundational ideological tenets of the French Revolution that by 1968, the slogan of  French “revolutionaries ” had become Egalité! Liberté! Sexualité! Gradually, a very large segment of the secular West and too many within the Christian Church capitulated to the sexual revolution envisaged by de Sade--which brings us to where the Catholic Church finds itself today: Exposed as an institution whose hierarchy has allowed the systematization of homosexuality and sexual predation.  The abuse, which has been going on for decades, has been mos...

South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier identified  the role homosexual activity has played  in  the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse crisis  on  Twitter  Tuesday.  Responding to an online news  report  saying that a high court may force all of South Africa’s churches to allow same-sex unions, the cardinal said this is “precisely” the same activity as with the scandal that is “rocking the Catholic Church to its roots.”  And he went on to further say that forsaking God’s law always leads to anguish. “This morning's newspaper headline: "Churches may have to allow same-sex unions" clearly misses the point that it is a precisely same-sex activity that is the scandal rocking the Catholic Church to its roots” Cardinal Napier tweeted. “Deviation from God's law always brings grief. Lord forgive us, sinners!” Cardinal Napier @CardinalNapier This morning's newspaper headline: "Churches may have to allow same sex unions" c...

Birmingham Bishop Robert J. Baker condemned the sexual abuse by hundreds of priests outlined in the Pennsylvania grand jury report , stating that the abuse was “predominately homosexual.” “We are forced today to face the tragic revelation of scores of accusations of predominately homosexual behavior and abuse,” he wrote in a public letter issued Monday. "Again in recent weeks, the church is thrust deep into the throes of shocking and unanticipated betrayal by the revelations of the sinful, egregious actions of those in positions of power, by those whose lives were meant, through Christ, to be lived sacrificially for others," wrote the bishop. "Whether the acts committed were by hierarchs, priests, or deacons, the evil committed and the evil inflicted is horrific, excruciating, and absolutely intolerable," he wrote. Bishop Baker’s letter came out the same day Pope Francis reacted to the abuse crisis, stating that “clericalism” was the root cause. The bishop noted ...
