Pope’s biographer: ‘Why do you say that our Lord did not have homosexual tendencies?’

Image
Austen Ivereigh, has been the Director of Public Affairs for the late Cardinal Murphy O’Connor, was a founder of the Catholic media organization “Catholic Voices,” and has written a biography of Pope Francis: he is what you might call a “professional Catholic.” Discussing the latest claims about priests working in the Vatican who are homosexual, Ivereigh suggests: The issue, as the priests make clear, isn’t celibacy and chastity, but having to hide who they are. The denial makes it impossible to live the vow in freedom. That’s what they’re saying. This is a convenient argument for someone who wants to say that the Church has made homosexuality into a problem by her negative teachings about it. Get rid of the teachings, and you’d get rid of the problem! A Twitter user replied, in Spanish (this is the Google translation): They must serve God and his people without the entanglement of manifesting or hiding a hidden tendency. The priests, I believe, must be hetero...

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is running for Senate to 'make America good again'

Image
Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was ousted from his position last year after leading a judicial revolt against immoral homosexual, announced plans Wednesday to run for U.S. Senate . “My position has always been God first, family, then country,” Moore said in a short news conference outside the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery. “I know I share the vision of our President Donald Trump to make America great again…. Before we can make America great again, we’ve got to make America good again.” The conservative 70-year-old Baptist, dubbed the “Ayatollah of Alabama” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (who gives them the right to judge and label people?), announced he will join the crowded Republican field for the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions . The seat is currently held by Luther Strange, a former state attorney general who was appointed by then-Gov. Robert Bentley to replace Sessions in February. Yet after Bentley was ...

Homosexual Churches twist Romans 1

Image
The pro-homosexual, revisionist literature hardly presents a single coherent whole when it comes to its methods of “exegesis” and the conclusions it comes to. But there is one consistency in all the revisionist literature: an absolute refusal to allow for the possibility that the historical Christian viewpoint on the matter is correct. No matter what other conclusions are reached, the one that cannot be true is the one Christians have proclaimed from the beginning. This consideration alone is very telling. Objection Stated  What is “natural” in Romans 1 is not what is “natural” in the sense of “ natural law ,” but what is “natural to me.” The reference is not to homosexuals but to heterosexuals who go beyond their natural bounds and engage in homosexuality. Thus John Boswell writes,  On the other hand, it should be recognized that the point of the passage is not to stigmatize sexual behavior of any sort but to condemn the Gentiles for their general infidelity.…...

Pastors say no to homosexual sin

Image
We have a responsibility to “hold fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching” so as “to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict” (Titus 1:9).  While it is possible that some may view the Bible's position on homosexuality as inflammatory, unloving, or even unchristian, the opposite is actually the case. In accordance with Titus 1:9, exhortation with the truth (sound doctrine) and the refutation of that which is false is a nonnegotiable duty for the Christian minister .  Christian ministers must instruct and refute. Some ideas are bad and wrong—these must be exposed for the health of the church and the honor of Jesus Christ . Beware of false accusations on both sides of this controversy. Pastors do not believe that every homosexual is a child molester or that homosexuality is the unpardonable sin.  Conversely, it must be acknowledged that our disagreement with homosexuality—in proclivity or in practice—as consi...

The transgender bathroom battle is headed to the Supreme Court, sooner or later

Image
A federal appeals court’s decision forcing a Virginia school district to allow boys into girls’ bathrooms, and vice versa, has commentators expecting it to be among the next big ‘culture war’ issues to hit the Supreme Court. On May 31, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld its panel's initial ruling last month on transgender girl Caitlyn Hope “Gavin” Grimm's lawsuit to use the boys' bathroom and facilities at her high school. The Fourth Circuit includes North Carolina, so has a direct bearing on that state’s controversial bill, HB 2. The panel made a 2-to-1   ruling   last month that a Virginia high school had to allow Caitlyn, a 16-year-old girl suffering from gender dysphoria, to use all the school's intimate facilities designed for males. Caitlyn, who began identifying as a boy in 2014, has not undergone sex "change" surgery but she has legally changed her name to "Gavin" and begun taking hormones to give her a deeper voice. On ...

Obama moves to name Stonewall Inn, site of gay riots against police, a national monument

English: , site of the 1969 , New York City, USA On the Window: „We homosexuals plead with our people to please help maintain peaceful and quiet conduct on the streets of the Village—Mattachine“ (Source: David Carter: Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution, St. Martin's Press, 2004, ISBN 0-312-34269-1, S. 143) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) President Obama has taken the first step to name the scene of an famous riot by homosexuals against police, the Stonewall Inn , a national monument. The president plans to kick off June, LGBT Pride Month , by preserving the area around the Greenwich Village, New York , tavern as a site for future generations to revere as the birthplace of the modern LGBT political movement. Brian Sullivan, a former bartender at the establishment, greeted the news with joy, saying, “This is the Mecca; it's where it all started." The Stonewall Riots broke out after New York police raided the establishment, which was being run at t...

Homosexual Agenda: Force Georgia to water down religious freedoms

Image
The Georgia legislature succumbed to pressure from the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT extremists and significantly watered down religious liberty protections before sending the legislation (HB 757) to Governor Nathan Deal for his signature. Incredibly, it's possible that Governor Deal will not sign even the modest protections in the bill, which are designed to protect pastors and religious groups from having to perform same-sex 'weddings' or forcing them to be hosted at their facilities. Opponents of the bill like to talk about “discrimination” but the fact of the matter is that the only people who've been discriminated against when it comes to gay 'marriage' are people of faith. Individuals, small businesses and religious organizations have been sued, fined, punished and threatened with jail simply for standing up for the truth of marriage in their daily lives. Over fifty million people in nearly three dozen states across our great nation went t...

NY’s Gov. Cuomo prepares to ban therapy for youth with unwanted same-sex attraction

Image
English: Andrew Cuomo, 11th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and 64th New York State Attorney General as a candidate for Governor of New York, outside of City Hall, little American flags on his tie. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Insurance coverage for reparative therapy for minors with unwanted same-sex sexual attractions is about to become illegal in New York State . However, attempts to change gender are encouraged,   according to a press release from Governor Andrew Cuomo , who said, "We will not allow the misguided and the intolerant to punish LGBT young people for simply being who they are." "Conversion therapy is a hateful and fundamentally flawed practice that is counter to everything this state stands for," continued New York's ostensibly Catholic governor. "New York has been at the forefront of acceptance and equality for the LGBT community for decades – and today we are continuing that legacy and leading by example...

If Christians press the state to recognize our view of marriage, aren't we forcing our religious commitments on society?

Image
This would certainly be a legitimate argument if the Christian church   independently came up with the definition of marriage as a heterosexual and monogamous covenant based on God 's revelation in Scripture and  then told secular society they had to agree with us.  But that is both a legal  and historical fiction. That conversation has never happened.  Secular society itself consistently defined marriage as the union of a  man and a woman throughout millennia of human history.  Only recently has secular society been pushing same sex union , same sex marriage and homosexuality has been seen as immoral hence sodomy was decriminalized. This push is worldwide. One needs to ask the question why? The homosexual elite are focused on one group - Christians who disagree with this new morality. Hollywood has tamed the gay image and made it look nice and acceptable. But scripture is clear it is neither nice nor acceptable to God. Traditio...

If I am a Christian who experiences same-sex attraction, should I pray to not have homosexual feelings?

Image
Every Christian should pray exactly as the Lord taught us to pray in the Lord's Prayer : "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" ( Matt. 6:10 KJV ). This kind of prayer not only longs for world systems to align with the kingdom of Christ , but also longs for our lives to align with God 's will.  It reflects a desire to become more faithful to Christ and more conformed to his image. This certainly includes our sexual orientation . We should also pray, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (v. 13).  Asking God to draw us away from things that tempt us should be the content of our prayer. We should ask God to replace gay homosexual temptation with holiness. Heterosexuals are also tempted sexually. "Lead us not into temptation" is a prayer for both the heterosexual Christian and the Christian battling same-sex attraction , or any other form of sexual desire. We don't celebrate murder, adult...

Bishop intervenes after Buffalo parish sign - inferring God is homosexual therefore not holy but sinful

Image
LOCAL PRIEST - INFERS THAT OUR HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOD IS HOMOSEXUAL? The bishop of Buffalo has intervened after a furor over a message a local parish priest posted outside his church that appeared to endorse same-sex “marriage.” Ss. Columba -Brigid Roman Catholic Church ’s sign read: “ Jesus had 2 dads and he turned out just fine.”    The announcement made it onto the internet and generated numerous inquiries to the diocese. “The situation has been resolved and the sign has been removed,” Executive Assistant to Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone Siobhan O’Connor told LifeSiteNews. LifeSiteNews had contacted the diocese after first inquiring with the parish about the sign. The individual who answered the phone at the parish told LifeSiteNews the message was coming down, and that there had been lots of calls to the parish. The sign had been placed by the pastor, the individual said, and the intent had been to say that a child could be raised in a situation with a fa...
