Kentucky Forbids Prison Chaplains from Identifying Homosexuality as Sinful
Catholic Culture ^ | 8/13/15

Posted on 08/15/2015 6:11:42 PM PDT by marshmallow

Prison officials in the state of Kentucky have told chaplains that they are not allowed to speak of homosexual activity as sinful.

The Department of Juvenile Justice revoked the credentials of a Baptist chaplain, citing his refusal to comply with a policy that forbids reference to homosexuality as sinful. Chaplains who do not agree to abide by that policy will not be allowed to work in prisons, officials said.

The Kentucky policy stipulates that "staff, volunteers, interns and contractors shall not imply or tell LGBTQI juveniles that they are abnormal, deviant, sinful or that they can or should change their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

The Christian purge has begun: Chaplains banned from preaching that homosexuality is a sin (Fox)

If you can’t wait for an inmate to drop his soap you’re an LGBT queer. Just tell them are genetically defective and leave it at that.

OK, So nobody in Kentucky Prisons has access to Religion any more, this will change if and only if the Church Stands Strong and refuses to SEND ANY ONE. Inmates will Sue, the State will LOSE!

staff, volunteers, interns and contractors shall not imply —

IMPLY????

So the prison Chaplain is married.

He is a Chaplain and married to a woman. Therefore he implies that marriage to a non-woman is sinful, because he as a Chaplain is not married to a non-woman.

This is crazy. I’m wondering if it is true.

Obviously YHVH wants more Christians in jail at this time. One can be caught up from anywhere. :-)

Those Kentuckians seem to be trying to take the lead in destroying Christianity. Don’t think Daniel Boone would be impressed with them

A little civil disobedience seems to be in order here.

'Course that's easy for me to say seeing as how I am not the one risking a fine or incarceration.

When government determines that its chaplains cannot be fully honest with what the Bible says, they must close the chaplain program. Otherwise the only people who will work as chaplains have disqualified themselves from serving as ministers.

Of Which the state lawmakers or even the governor should be dragging the head of department of corrections before hearings demanding to know if it is official or unofficial policy to encourage and not discourage jail house rape and sexual activity?

Well we’ve been told that in the End Times that we will have to stand for our faith. Christians in the mussie world are feeling the brunt of if physically and maybe it’ll come here as well. But at least we won’t go willingly as sheep.

“Inmates’ religious freedoms are being violated here.”

And that’s exactly the argument that should used in the lawsuit.

It has to start somewhere. A preacher who is not willing to go to jail should not be preaching.

So, will Muslim imams be prohibited from preaching that homosexuals should be thrown off tall buildings as punishment for their sins? Inquiring minds want to know ...
