British Bishop Has The Gay Marriage Sadz

“As Catholics, like Israel in Egypt, we now find ourselves in an alien land that speaks a foreign language with unfamiliar customs. For what we mean by matrimony, sexual intercourse and family life is no longer what today’s world, the Government, the NHS and policy-makers understand by marriage, sex and the family. Parliament’s Orwellian attempt to redefine marriage radically changes …

Cardinal Timothy Dolan On Pope Francis

Dolan appeared on CBS This Morning today to downplay Pope Francis’ seemingly more kind tone towards gay people. Igor Volsky recaps at Think Progress: Dolan insisted that the Church has long embraced gay people and that Francis’ answer did not represent a new tone or establish a more liberal precedent. “Homosexual acts,” he said, are still a sin. “Homosexuality is …

Fox News Priest On Pope Francis

“Summarizing the pope’s comments on homosexuals in the priesthood, the AP reported: ‘Francis was much more conciliatory [than Pope Benedict], saying gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten.’ Pope Francis didn’t say that, and the report is wrong on so many levels. First of all, it suggests that being gay itself, is a sin. What Pope Francis really …

HomoQuotable – Chad Griffin

“While Pope Francis’s words do not reflect a shift in Church policy, they represent a significant change in tone. Like his namesake, Francis’s humility and respect for human dignity are showing through, and the widespread positive response his words have received around the world reveals that Catholics everywhere are thirsty for change.” “But as long as millions of LGBT Catholic …

Brian Brown: Look At All Our WINS!

“Our opponents and those in the biased media say, ‘It’s inevitable. You can’t win. Give up.’ I couldn’t disagree more!

Pope Francis today “overhauled” the criminal code at Vatican City and NOW the possession of child pornography will send you to Vatican prison, whatever that is. The legislation covers clergy and lay people who live and work in Vatican City and is different from the canon law, which covers the universal Catholic Church. The bulk of the Vatican’s penal code …

Brian Brown: Please Send Us More Money For Our Doomed And “Moot” Campaign

“Let’s face it: Anthony Kennedy and his activist cronies on the Supreme Court are itching to redefine marriage and impose same-sex ‘marriage’ on an unwilling nation. Justice Scalia has warned us clearly in his dissent that the only thing that will stop Kennedy and crew is their own sense of what they can get away with. The most direct and …

Vatican: Gays Want Special Privileges

“In the American language you have a distinction between the word ‘homosexual’ and ‘gay’. A homosexual is a person who has, to some extent, this homosexual condition. Somebody may have this difficulty, and his friends, his neighbors will not know about this. He’s dealing with this in cooperation with the grace of God and may come out of this difficulty …

Priest Son Of Justice Antonin Scalia: Homosexuality Does Not Actually Exist

“In this regard we must note the unfortunate title The Homosexual Person (and therefore also the unfortunate title of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith document). In short, we should not predicate ‘homosexual’ of any person. That does a disservice to the dignity of the human person by collapsing personhood into sexual inclinations.  The chronology of the books …
