The real purpose of same-sex "marriage" is to persecute and marginalize ChristiansHey you. Yes you, with the red equal sign as your Facebook avatar. Thanks for wearing The Mark Of The Beast: I just want you to know that if this is your sign then you are actively supporting my persecution, torture, imprisonment, etc. Perhaps you know that already, and perhaps that warms your heart, but I wanted to make sure we're all on the same page here. The French didn't wake up one morning and say "Hey, let's kill tens of thousands of Catholics" …it happened over time. It was a process. Would you require a kosher caterer to violate his religion by demanding he serve ham at your wedding? Of course not. So why is it OK to bring the force of law to bear against a Christian caterer (or photographer or innkeeper) who stands up for her religious beliefs? And the answer is? Because shut-up. The Titans of Tolerance don't tolerate no Christians. Yeah, I know, you'll just say I'm a homophobe. Or worse. My rights don't matter. My religion isn't important. Equality is the new watchword. God? He's behind the times. Old-fashioned. Un-hip. Like me. Yesterday I posted, on my own FB timeline, an excerpt from Canon 915. As a public service to all the liberal catholics in my news feed today, allow me to reacquaint you with Canon 915: "Those who have been ... obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion." The result was, interesting. I especially liked "Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone...." which conveniently ignored the equally important admonition to "...go forth and sin no more." My Catholic friends don't want to talk about sin. Well, not unless they can work themselves up into a spittle-flecked tizzy over "pedophile priests." Then suddenly they're experts on what's a sin. As St. Thomas Aquinas said, "the first reaction to truth is anger." Well I'm here to tell you that the same-sex "marriage" people are very angry. They're not content with "live and let live." It's more like "my way or the highway." The in-your-face attitude seems like a sign of desperation though. "Look at me! Celebrate me! Cater to me!" Everything is "Me! Me! Me!" What happened to obedience to God? Doesn't it seem like our troubles started when the liberals took God out of the classroom and replaced Him with Bacchanalia 101? There are dark days ahead for God's Holy Church in America. Barack Obama will go down in Catholic history as a tyrant for sure. Of course the Church will survive. But many of her faithful will be persecuted, vilified, condemned, and yes tortured and imprisoned. You only have to look north at Canada to see what's in store for us. The left now has the cudgel with which they will try to smash religion. Our religious freedom is incompatible with their distorted view of civil rights. Their hostility to religion puts paid the notion thateveryone has the right to be treated with respect. In the land of same-sex "marriage," Christians will be exiled. Which of course is the point.
