GAY TRUTH

The Catholic Diocese of Salford in north-west England has become the latest of multiple Catholic dioceses around the United Kingdom to begin hosting “LGBT+ Masses.” In Salford, as in the other dioceses, the LGBT+ Masses enjoy the support of their respective local bishops. Advertisements for the Masses have become widely available in churches and on various official parish and diocesan websites. Many of these advertisements are emblazoned with the rainbow flag or popular Catholic images such as crosses or the Sacred Heart filled with rainbow colors. Several of the groups involved in organizing these Masses take part in their local homosexual “pride” events. In none of the advertisements or official publications about these Masses is the Catholic Church’s authoritative,  constant teaching that homosexual sexual acts are inherently sinful  made clear.  Playing a key role in the promotion and support of many of these Masses is the group “ Quest .” Quest  states...

January 4, 2013 ( PJSaunders ) - With the coalition government about to publish their bill to legalise gay marriage in England and Wales there has been a huge increase in opposition to the measure over the last two months. Over 624,000 people have now signed the Coalition for Marriage (C4M)  petition  against the redefinition of marriage which simply reads as follows: ‘I support the legal definition of marriage which is the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others. I oppose any attempt to redefine it.’ The petition has overwhelmed that of the ‘ Campaign for equal Marriage ’ (C4EM) which has attracted only 64,000 signatures, just over 10% of C4M’s total. This underlines the growing suspicion that the push to legalise gay marriage is the concern of a small liberal elite which does not speak for the majority. C4EM  is claiming  that of 649 MPs in total, 305 (47%) support the proposal and 114 oppose it with 14 ...

English: United Kingdom's Deputy Prime Minster and Lord President of the Council Nick Clegg. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is desperately doing damage control after a leaked speech revealed his planned statements calling opponents of “gay marriage” “bigots.” Today he wrote to the president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales , assuring them he does not think they are bigots for their stand. Few who have heard the apologies, however, seem willing to believe it was a mistake. The flap started when Clegg’s officials issued a press release on Tuesday which included a speech he was to deliver to homosexualist activists at a party for them given by the government. “Continued trouble in the economy gives the bigots a stick to beat us with, as they demand we ‘postpone’ the equalities agenda in order to deal with ‘the things people really care about’. As if pursuing greater equality and fixing the economy simply cannot happen...

Cardinal Keith O’Brien , who leads the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland , has come out in fierce opposition to plans to legalize homosexual “marriage” in England and Wales . After publishing a  ringing denunciation  in Britain’s Telegraph newspaper entitled “We cannot afford to indulge this madness,” the cardinal went on  BBC Radio’s Today program , hosted by John Humphrys , to defend his position. Cardinal Keith O'Brien Humphrys asked O’Brien to explain his affirmation in the Telegraph that homosexual “marriage” represents “a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right” which would “shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world.” “I think if the United Kingdom does go for and supports same sex marriage, it is indeed shaming our country,” O’Brien told Humphrys. “We’re taking standards which are not just our own, but standards from the declaration on human rights of the United Nations where marriage is defined as a relationship between man and woman an...
