A Homily That Hopefully Sounded From Pulpits All Over The USA

And I don't mean just Catholic pulpits either!  What Obama and Sebelius did last week was a slap in the face to us all - and of course to the babies.  This homily was delivered today at the 11:15 mass at St John Neumann Church in Gaithersburg MD.  You should be able to download it, if you wish.  You might want to do so and burn it to some cds and circulate it.  Click HERE.

Towards the end of Mass, a letter from Cardinal Wuerl was read along the same theme.  For the sake of those living outside the Archdiocese of Washington, I link to it HERE.

I understand that many bishops have issued similar letters.  I'd be happy to link to those if readers will send me the necessary information.  If others priests issued similar statements, I'd be happy to pubicize those as well.

This administration in the White House aspires to become a dictatorial monster.  We need to stop it with all the means available to us as American citizens.  This certainly includes the November elections.

ADL - "Don't Vote Your Religion - Unless We Approve!"

Did they really say that?  Well, here's their press release.  Note their condescending quote: "religious appeals to voters are simply unacceptable and un-American"  Well this American says that such appeals are completely acceptable.  Who appointed the ADL as arbitor of what I must consider "unacceptable"?   They go on to say that we should judge the candidates based on their integrity.  As far as I'm concerned, a candidate's religion (or lack thereof) is part and parcel of their integrity.  Religious adherence is not an immutable charactieristic, as is ethnicity, physical size, etc.  People choose their religious affiliations and their practices; those choices say volumes about who they are as people and how they'll conduct themselves in public office.

Does that make me a bigot?  Well let me illustrate with an example.  In the year 2000, in Maryland's 8th Congressional District, Connie Morella was opposed by Democrat Terry Lierman.  Both were pro-abortion Catholics.  Seeking access to the ballot as a third candidate was Brian Saunders - a pro-life Jew affiliated with the Constitution Party.  I and several others worked very hard to secure him access to the ballot (via petition signatures).  We succeeded in doing so.  Unfortunately in Montgomery County the GOP was (still is) dominated by RINOs and Morella won the general election.  A candidate's avowal of Catholicism will not automatically win my vote by a long shot.

Today's Vortex does a great job in exposing the hypocrisy of the ADL and other progressives (and the Detroit archdiocese is trying to submarine him?).  Click here if you can't see embedded video.

"Gay Marriage" Judge Bashed The Pope In His Ruling

William May, chairman of Catholics for the Common Good (not to be confused with the left-wing "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good") commented on a portion of Vaughn Walker's ruling that casts an ominous shadow over freedom of religion in this country.  The ruling's 77th "finding of fact" states that "Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians."  Quotes that "support this fact" include statements of Pope Benedict XVI.  Lifesite News carries more detail. 

Walker also quotes statements from other Christian denominations.  Interestingly enough, there are no citations of Muslim prohibitions against homosexual relations.  I wonder if he ever saw this video of Iraninan President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University (click here if you can't see embedded video).



So why are only traditional Christians targeted by Walker?  It is not Christians who are tacitly advocating executions of gays, as seems to be the case in Iran, but it is we who are vilified. As I said before, we are being treated as Niggers of the New Age.  We are the targets of the current acceptable bigotry.

Will we stand for it???

Does "Freedom of Worship" = "Freedom of Religion"?

NO!  "Freedom of religion" is a God-given right (not government-granted).  The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that the government will do nothing to infringe upon that right.  Implicit in such guarantee is government's acknowledgment of its subordination to the individuals who comprise the US citizenry - and their God. 

Listen now to Chuck Colson as he exposes progressive attempts to diminish our understanding of our God-given rights.  (Click here if you can't see embedded videos)
