Cardinal Antonio Cañizares faces hate speech charges for questioning "gay empire," "radical feminism," and "gender theory" during homily.
Just in case you need more examples of why laws against "hate speech" are a bad idea, here's a case out of Spain in which a Catholic leader is under investigation for remarks he made during a religious ceremony.
While giving the homily at a Catholic University of Valencia mass, the Archbishop of Valencia, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, suggested that "the gay empire" and "radical feminism" were undermining traditional family values. "The family is being stalked today, in our culture, by endlessly grave difficulties," he said. "When the family is attacked or is diminished, the most sacred forms of human relationship are perverted."
Note that the 70-year-old Cardinal didn't threaten violence against anyone, nor attempt to incite listeners to violence. He merely expressed his—perhaps unfashionable, but hardly radical or dangerous—opinion that Spain has passed "legislation contrary to the family," and that this stems from "the action of political and social forces," including the "gay empire," the ideas of "radical feminism," and "the most insidious of all, gender theory."
Yet because hate speech is such a nebulous concept, one rooted in à la mode concepts of civility and shifting perceptions of power, the homily Cañizares gave has earned him an investigation by the Provincial Prosecutor's Office in Valencia.
The investigation stems from a criminal omplaint filed by Lambda LGBT collective, which called Cañizares' homily "homophobic and sexist," designed to "incite hatred against those who do not enter fit into the archaic models defended by the Catholic hierarchy." That's right: the group is upset about a Catholic official defending "Catholic hierarchy" during a Catholic mass.
Alas, this effort to dictate the confines of religious rhetoric isn't just a whim of one particularly illiberal activist group; Lambda's complaint was signed by 55 other organizations, including the Spanish Network of Help to Refugees. In a statement, the Network accused Cañizares of being an "ultra conservative" who yearned for the "times when immigrants, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals and women were subjected to the dictates of a society governed by the powers of the Catholic church society." Apparently, such sentiment is now potentially criminal in Spain.
The governor of Valencia condemned Cañizares for "fomenting hatred, while the Monica Oltra, Valencia's vice president and minister for Equality and Inclusive Policies, called the Cardinal a misogynist. If found guilty of the charges against him, Cañizares could face up to three years in prison.
He didn’t realize that gays now run the Vatican?
Cultural Marxism is to control all ideas (Mind Control so children can only embed ONE IDEA——the Marxist one where the Natural Family does not exist—the idea of mother and father are ERASED from all the future minds for their NWO-—where the State is god and mommy and daddy and can control EVERY IDEA your child has.
Your children will be as Fichte wanted in 1810——incapable of Free Will (choice) because they can’t “know” Truth and are fed lies and vice 24/7. (Psychological warfare on the Minds of children).
God’s Design of the Body/Man/Woman paradigm is the ONLY one which embeds Truth and Reality, (led to the Age of Reason and Modern Science) and led to equality of male/female where ROLES and TRUTH are NOT obliterated (Romance period). Marxists want to herd and control and kill the masses at will). Only irrational, drugged “bots” will allow their own suicide (why they promote marijuana and all vice).
By making irrational acts/vice into “Good”and a “Natural Right” you are eliminating Truth and God’s Design (God) from the Minds of children. They will be TOTALLY IRRATIONAL (a godless animal) incapable of Reason or Virtue (Justice).
There different kind of “HATES” .
Those who pretend to denounce “hate” are most of the time HATEFULL .
Another stoopid leftist hoax
The new, worthless Pope won’t side with the Cardinal!
Refusing to bow to the faggot “god” is becoming more and more hazardous. “Faggot”=bundle of sticks or twigs, i.e., kindling. And that’s what they are: Kindling for the fires of hell. As is all who support them.
This is pretty much the last nail in the coffin for Catholicism in terms of Christian influence. If a world-spanning organization won’t even allow one little cardinal to make perfectly Biblical remarks on faggotry on this occasion, they ain’t good for much as a whole.
How can one argue that radical feminism and gay culture are not in opposition to traditional family values? They both seek openly to overturn the traditional family. For example gay couples can call themselves a family but they cannot be a "traditional family" and they do not represent "traditional family values". It's something new to the world.
So far it's not the church putting the screws to this cardinal, it's the secular authorities. Now days they are the ones who burn heretics at the stake, not the church.
Amen.
Random bit of trivia:
The holy grail is in his diocese.
It’s not lost.
It was brought to Valencia in the third century by Saint Lawrence.
The Muslims conquered the city, but when they were driven out by the French in 1205.
The Holy Grail was right where it had been all along.
“Graal” is a Provencal (an ancient language of France) which means “Chalice.”
The Holy Grail has been known as “Sancta Caliz” in Spain all this time.
So where did we ever get the notion that the Holy Grail was missing?
Incidentally, in 1205, there was a boy in what is now France who had been the rightful heir to the British throne, which was usurped by King John. At the time, France and Great Britain had been one nation, but King John’s usurpation on the island of Great Britain led to the French part of Britain separating. The name of the British king on the continent? Would you believe King Arthur?
Wait until the Moops come back.
