More than a thousand Catholic priests have signed the letter to The Daily Telegraph arguing that the Government's gay marriage plans will "severely restrict the ability of Catholics to teach the truth about marriage in their schools" and rejecting promised safeguards as "meaningless".
I'll be honest: when I read the news story about the letter, I thought: gosh, a thousand conservative/traditionalist priests are standing up to be counted. But that just goes to show the folly of assuming that the Catholic Church is as factional as the Church of England. Because when I worked my way down the names, I kept coming across priests who are poles apart liturgically and even differ in the way they interpret Catholic teaching on homosexuality. The list includes members of the "Magic Circle" of well-connected liberals, Latin Mass traditionalists, moderate conservatives and the leaders of the newly formed Ordinariate. As for the political leanings of the signatories, I can assure you that Labour supporters are well represented. So, too, are celibate gay priests.

Gay marriage: after today's letter in the Telegraph, the Catholic Church really is at war with the Government
The homosexuals say to those ignorant social conservatives, how does it hurt YOUR marriage if we get married?
Well, besides making a mockery of the unique status of male-female marriage, the radical gays use the brute force of government to destroy the fabric of the church and society.

The real harm is in the normalization of the behavior for the next generation. When children are really young—what they see becomes their reality and normal. That is why it is important to confuse little kids and have “marriage”. Civil unions wasn’t doing the “trick”. Seeing two men on a top of wedding cake is normalizing the behavior, so the “ICK” factor—especially normal in young boys because of the fecal material-—can be removed. They can be corrupted and seduced easier like in all ancient societies.
Our children are being brainwashed today in schools by “gay pride” days and Heather has two mommies and Daddy’s Roommate, etc. and by MTV and Glee type programming so they believe that Good is Evil and Evil is Good.
Little children are being conditioned to think sodomy is “Good” and a Right. It is the easiest way for the atheist/Marxists/occultists to eliminate God from our culture so they can replace it with the worship of Lucifer. They are sexualizing our children (through “Sex Ed”) and vulgar TV shows, to corrupt them and make them easy targets with no will power or ethics.
Legalizing Homosexual “marriage” destroys Christian Ethics and replaces it with moral relativism—Satanism—or Afghani Ethics. Homosexual ‘cultures” ALWAYS end up sodomizing little boys like the Afghani harems. Boys are ideal “partners” for the men in all ancient cultures and the Samurai, the Bolsheviks, the Nazis, and today’s Middle East.
I think it’s about time for the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
