The Push To Marginalize Christians Grows More Blatant

Johns Hopkins University, long known for its rabid political correctness, has just made known its disdain for Christians who adhere to the Teachings of Jesus Christ.  The Student Government Association just voted to ban Chick-Fil-A from the JHU campus, despite the opinions of a large part of the student body.  Of course the reason is that the SGA disapproves the Catheys' obedience to the true nature of marriage.  The SGA went so far as to call the presence of the eatery a form of "micro-aggression" to the JHU LGBTUVWXYZ (did I miss any letters?) population.

"Micro-aggression"!  I never knew that word existed.  It really doesn't.  It's just some pathetic attempt to twist the language to excuse the bigotry against conservatives on the JHU campus.  Are the perverts and their supporters such whiny, delicate little snowflakes that they'd feel "aggressed upon" by the presence of a restaurant?  Unless they were being forced to patronize the establishment at gunpoint, I see no excuse for such sniveling.

Andrew Guernsey, a junior at JHU and president of that campus' Voice For Life, wrote an article about the dismal anti-Christian bigotry displayed by the SGA; it is in the National Review.  Please read it here.  He's right.  It is a witch-hunt.  This time it's the witches that are doing the hunting, which brings me to the next example of Christians being marginalized.

Not only are we being targeted for our adherence to truth regarding marriage, but we are also being targeted for our defense of unborn children.  This bigotry is being shamelessly displayed by Hillary Clinton, a Democratic candidate for US President.  Correctly recognizing that Christians will not sit back and allow babies to be murdered without a struggle, she made some rather blatant declarations yesterday as she spoke at the Women in the World Summit in New York City.  She said, "deep-seated religious beliefs around the world have to be changed to promote critical access to reproductive health care." (italics mine)  Really?  Says who?  Who will be doing this "changing"?  How does she propose to accomplish this "change"?  Remember!  She wants to be President of the United States!  In other words, she wants to be our empress, and relegate Christians to de facto ghettos.  This link will take you to a video of her remarks.

Clinton's remarks are identical to those found in the New York Times several weeks ago.  Frank Bruni wrote an op-ed piece that clearly states his opinion that those who hold to Biblical standard of morality have no place at the American table.  I link also to Breitbart's analysis of this screed.  Bruni's pig-slop is in a major newspaper (well, not so major it seems.  The NYT has been losing readership as they lose credibility, but I digress!)

Ladies and gentlemen, these moves are just a few precursors to Kristalnacht.  Before some pollyannas protest that these incidents don't amount to that event, read your history.  The persecution of the Jews did not start with the violence of that one night.  It started slowly and in low-key fashions (such as what we're seeing now) and gradually but unmistakably increased in both frequency and intensity, culminating not only in Kristalnacht but the Nazi death camps.  Not only can it happen here, but the process is well underway.  I will link to an article written by Msgr Charles Pope that outlines "The Five Stages Of Religious Persecution".  These stages are commonplace today.

How long will the pollyannas bury their heads in the dirt?  Can any sane person doubt that we Christians are being relegated to the status of "Niggers of the New Age"?  We need to exercise our rights to forestall that - while we still have the ability to exercise them.

From The Niggers Of The New Age Department - Gay Bullies Gnash Their Teeth At Christians

By now you've heard of the news of the legal battles in Indiana and Arkansas.  Legislation has been put forth to protect the rights of business owners to be free to run their enterprises according to their consciences.  The gay cartels have reared their ugly heads.  Sadly both governors of Indiana and Arkansas seem to have suffered sudden calcium deficiencies in their spinal columns.  The Indiana legislature, at the direction of Mike Pence whom we thought had some courage and clarity, is trying to "fix" the legislation before Pence signs it; in other words, they're gutting it of all protections for people who believe in marriage as God created it.

Again in Indiana, a pizzeria owned by Christians - Memories Pizza - closed their doors after gay bullies hacked their website and threatened to firebomb and even kill them.  They are in fear for their lives simply because they said they would not cater gay weddings.

Ladies and gentlemen, this gay bullying campaign is the twenty-first century version of kristallnacht.  Read that wikipedia link to learn how the Nazi hatred of Jews gradually became more manifest as time progressed.  The Nazis, embolded by their success in marginalizing the Jews, engaged in ever-escalating violence against the Jews, leading to the death camps.  The gay bullies, with the assistance of their progressive allies in politics and mainstream media, are attempting the same thing with Christians.  By and large they are meeting with tepid resistance at best, as evidenced by the regrettable cowardice of the governors of Indiana and Arkansas.

I now link to an excellent article in National Review called "The War On The Private Mind".  This is precisely what the progressives are all about with the so-called "gay rights" schtick.  They want those of us who hold to the teachings of Jesus Christ to be forced to validate and even embrace their mortally sinful perversions.  For them it isn't enough that we "tolerate" them - they will not stop until we celebrate their sins.  Why?  The answer is really quite simple.  Despite all their politically correct prattle, they know that they either commit or condone vile sins against God and nature.  When we Christians order our lives by the moral teachings of Jesus Christ, we serve as living rebukes to their embrace of sin.  Our integrity of lives stings their already sore consciences - or what's left of their consciences.  They think that by silencing us and even forcing us to validate their sinful conduct, that their consciences can be assuaged.  They can tolerate no voice of morality or reason; to them we are irritants who must be brought to heel, and they will stop at nothing to attain their warped ends.

A "case in point" is the recent call from Wyoming Equality, a gay-shilling outfit, to revoke the tax-exempt statuses of churches that oppose marriage perversion.  Many folks know that I'm no fan of the tax-exempt status as too many churches allow their moral voices to be mute for fear of endangering that status.  However, the 501(c)3 status should not be granted or denied based on moral beliefs, and that sort of bigotry is precisely what the gay-shilling cabal is demanding.  It's even worse abroad.  England is further along in the path of relegating Christianity to de facto ghettos.  A few days ago a UK evangelist was fined for quoting passages from the Bible deemed to be "homophobic".  During the sentencing the judge had the unmitigated gall to lecture the evangelist what Biblical passages were acceptable.  Boys and girls, can we say "censorship"?  Just to our north, in Toronto, two Catholics were rejected as board appointees precisely because they're Catholics.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is clear that we Christians - Catholics in particular - are being treated as the Niggers of the New Age.  It is happening because our lives stand in stark contrast to the debauched culture of death that is gripping so many key areas of society.  We must stand strong against it.  Any misguided diffidence on our parts will be seen as weakness - for that is exactly what it is.

By the way - Father Z suggests a novel way to deal with these folks.  It's worth a try!
