Strong echoes of the Great Tradition, particularly Leo the Great's 5th century Christmas homily:

Christian, remember your dignity, and now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear in mind who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of God’s kingdom.

Through the sacrament of baptism you have become a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do not drive away so great a guest by evil conduct and become again a slave to the devil, for your liberty was bought by the blood of Christ.

“Gay Family” is an oxymoron.

Bravo, Papa Benedict! He is coming on very strong on this, And backing the beatification of Paul VI, which means are-0commitment to the truth of Humanae Vitae.

It's paradoxical. This is a time of great disorientation, danger, and loss, and yet it's a great time to be a Catholic.

When you remove motherhood through abortion and fatherhood through gay marriage you decimate the backbone of propagation of the human race (humanity). The Pope is correct.

Stolen from another site. Though it might fit here.

These homo rats want to throw out natural law as defined by our Constitution and replace it with man’s law as defined by man as subject to the state.

In that case, a strong, public rebuke of Kerry, Biden, Pelosi, et al, might be in order. Another rebuke of the 50% of the church that voted for Obama might also fit in. This is a conversation we might have to drown out “gun control” as the topic of the day. Some praise for Paul Ryan might help also, for “keepin the faith”, don’t ya know.

"Bernheim has shown in a very detailed and profoundly moving study that the attack we are currently experiencing on the true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child, goes much deeper," he said. He cited feminist gender theorist Simone de Beauvoir's view to the effect that one is not born a woman, but one becomes so – that sex was no longer an element of nature but a social role people chose for themselves.

Men and women are NOT interchangeable. The basis of feminism is that men and women are interchangeable at will. Natural law prevails. Popular culture is transient and suicidal.

Men living with men are friends. Women living with women are friends. Sexual union cannot be achieved without risky acts of sexual perversion.

Advocates of same sex marriage conveniently fail to talk about facts such as persons with homosexuality are significantly more likely to have psychological disorders, substance abuse problems, suicidal ideation, and to have been victims of childhood sexual abuse and violence. The relationships of men attracted to men are more likely to be short-lived and are almost never faithful over time. The HIV/AIDS epidemic among men who have sex with men continues unabated and has been linked to substance abuse and sexual addiction. Men who have sex with men are also 44 times more likely to be HIV positive, and far more likely to be inflected with other sexually transmitted diseases.

Those who support same sex marriage are abrogating their responsibilities to protect the health and safety of the people they represent, not to put them at risk by supporting risky behavior.

These same politicians do not want to talk about positive statistics dealing with those who switch from same sex attraction to normal heterosexual relationships. They also do not want to talk about what kind of perversion would be next on the agenda, should same sex "mock" marriage prevail.
