Criminal ‘Hate Speech’ Case Opens Against Spanish Cardinal
Breitbart ^ | 6/14/16 | Thomas Williams

Posted on 06/15/2016 9:03:43 AM PDT by marshmallow

On Tuesday, the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Valencia initiated criminal proceedings against the Archbishop of Valencia, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, who has been charged with inciting “hate crimes,” after the prelate spoke out in a homily against a reigning “gay empire,” criticized radical feminist groups, and decried Europe’s open-door policy toward migrants.

“The family is haunted today, in our culture, by an endless threat of serious difficulties, and this is not hidden from anyone,” Cañizares said in his May 13 homily, pronounced on the eve of the International Day Against Lesbophobia, Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, at a Mass celebrated in the chapel at the Catholic University of Valencia.

“We have legislation contrary to the family, the action of political and social forces, with added movements and actions of the gay empire, of ideas such as radical feminism, or the most insidious of all, gender theory,” he said.

A criminal complaint was filed on June 3 by the Lambda LGBT collective accusing the Cardinal of hate speech. Cañizares subsequently retracted his expression and offered an apology, if his words had “hurt or bothered anyone.”

In response, Lambda lashed out at the Cardinal, stating that his words are “full of hatred, homophobic and sexist, and only incite hatred against those who do not enter fit into the archaic models defended by the Catholic hierarchy.”

Looks like he hasn’t figured out Rule # 1, which is never, ever apologize or retract, it just makes them more rabid. Then they really come after you. An apology is an admission of weakness.

Good luck, Cardinal.

What actually works for social betterment are “archaic models,” in Valencia, apparently? Well, at least they are not “slouching,” along. They are already there (Gommorah).

Speak out while you can.

With love and truth.

And expect persecution--- and a good harvest. The world is full formerly active homosexuals who have left that "way of death". St. Paul had them as valued members of his flock, even at Corinth.

I see it differently. We have reached a point in our society in which the only way it may be saved is for people to either be persuaded to the error of their ways, or die.

This latest attack has achieved both, and is therefore a beneficial, albeit painful movement in the direction of a solution.

I have long maintained that Islam is not compatible with western ideas of equality and tolerance. No amount of explaining this to liberals seems to get the point across. What gets the point across is dead liberals, especially if they are homosexuals.

I have long maintained that Liberals are going to be forced to chose between their desire for Tolerance of Islam, or Tolerance of Homosexuals, and this latest attack forces them closer to confronting the inherent contradictions of their beliefs.

You can't have both. The two things will not cheerfully coexist together. One is going to achieve dominance, and the other is going to be rendered unacceptable.

Islam is taking over Europe. At this point, the greatest blessing Europe could have, would be a sufficient number of attacks from Islamists to wake Europe up to the fact that it is in grave danger.

More dead and wounded is the only thing that will make these people understand. Talking is pointless. They have made up their minds to tolerate Islam, and now only pain can make them change their minds.

Ugly situation, but those are the facts as I perceive them.
