Mexico’s ruling party clobbered in elections following push for gay ‘marriage’

Image
Mexico ’s Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has just lost its 86-year dominance of Mexico’s state governments in a massive electoral upset following a new initiative by Mexican president and PRI member Enrique Peña Nieto to amend the constitution to create homosexual “marriage.” For the first time since the PRI was created in 1929, the party no longer holds a majority of state governorships. Out of 17 states holding elections on June 5, the PRI won only five states and lost four states with 19% of the country’s population. The result is that the PRI now holds the governorship in only 15 of the country’s 31 states, with 45% of Mexico’s population. The party is also out of power in the nation’s Federal District . The president’s initiative , announced on May 17, includes a   massive propaganda campaign   to convince public school students and the population in general that homosexuality and transgenderism are normal and morally acceptable, as well as membershi...

Lesbian ex-nun sues Chile in international court for right to teach Catholic religion classes

Image
An ex-nun habituated to homosexual behavior who has been prohibited from teaching Catholic religion classes in Chilean public schools will soon have her case heard by the Inter- American Commission for Human Rights , on the grounds of “discrimination.” Sandra Pavez, who reportedly taught the Catholic religion to public school students for 22 years, was removed from her position in 2007 when her immoral personal behavior became known to both the bishop and the vicar of education of the diocese of San Bernardo , according to commission filings. Although the bishop admonished Pavez to “immediately terminate her homosexual life,” and urged her to seek psychological help for her behavior, she refused. As a result, the diocese sent a letter to Pavez and to the local director of education, informing her that her certificate of suitability for teaching Catholicism had been revoked. She has not taught religion in public schools since that time. The Chilean government mandates that a...

Socialist president of Ecuador rejects homosexual ‘marriage’ and adoption as contrary to nature

Image
Ecuador’s socialist president Rafael Correa has announced his opposition to homosexual “ marriage ” and adoption of children in an interview with the Ecuadoran television channel RTS, saying that the latter is contrary to nature and to the welfare of children. “I’m not in agreement with the adoption of children on the part of couples of the same sex, because I think that nature has to be given its due, and children should be in a traditional family, constituted by a man and a woman,” Correa reportedly said. Calling the family “the foundation of the society,” Correa told RTS that “one can’t be carried along by fashions. One must be led by principles, values, beliefs,” and described himself as “very progressive in the economic and social sense, but rather conservative regarding moral issues.” Noting that the Ecuadoran constitution already has provisions for homosexual civil unions, and that he has never supported homosexual “marriage,” Correa added that such proposals are “foolishnes...

The union will be the first such in the history of Argentina.  The Argentinean newspaper La Nación reports that two enlisted men are in line to be the second same-sex soldier couple to “marry.” The names of both couples have been withheld from the public. César Cigliutti, leader of the Argentinean Homosexual Community (CHA), rejoiced at the news, commenting that “the visibility of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in the armed forces is important. It’s an area that traditionally has been strongly conservative.” Although the officers sought permission for the union, the Spanish-la Image via Wikipedia nguage news agency Télam cited military sources who said that permission was not strictly necessa...

Archbishop decries homosexual ‘marriage,’ says western world has become ‘mission territory’

Image
Image via Wikipedia The archbishop emeritus of the Argentinean diocese of Resistencia says that Argentina should be understood as “mission territory” for the Catholic Church following the legalization of homosexual “marriage” by the national congress. “Sixty-five years ago, the archbishop of Paris surprised the Church with his pastoral letter ‘ France : Mission Country?’   As the years have gone by, that question has become an affirmation.  And it is valid not only for France.   All of the West is mission territory today,” said Archbishop Carmelo Juan Giaquinta in a recent homily published by the Argentinean Catholic news agency AICIA. “Argentina is also today a mission country.  A country, where from night to morning, and without almost anyone joking about it, unions between homosexuals are being equated to marriage according to nature, given by God to men and women, cannot call itself Christian,” said Giaquinta. “The first Gospel is the nature ...

During an interview with the Spanish publication Primera Hora , Cardinal Luis Aponte Martinez , the Archbishop of San Juan , Puerto Rico , asked Martin to promote values that are shared by all, and noted that “fomenting homosexuality or sexual promiscuity among our young people is certainly immoral, regardless of where it comes from.” Martin, who took on a homosexual identity recently after years of identifying as a heterosexual, has announced that his new musical tour will include “sex games,” which he said “is part of my new way of life.” “I personally admire Ricky for the great artistic gifts which the Lord has given him, but I ask that, for the love of his children, for whom I imagine he wishes the best, to try to give an example to...
