ABC Mocks Catholics in ‘When We Rise’ Miniseries
CNSnews ^ | March 2, 2017 | Bill Donohue

Catholics in America make up about 25 percent of the population. Yet when it comes to negative stereotypes of religion, Hollywood targets us almost 100 percent of the time.

Nowhere is this more true than with gay-themed entertainment. The hostility shown toward all things Catholic made us wary when we heard about ABC's miniseries on the history of the gay rights movement, "When We Rise." As last night's opening episode confirmed, we were right to be on guard.

Tolerance for depravity produces intolerance and hatred for virtue. The truly depraved will not accept anything else as their price for tolerance.

I figure if the media isn’t attacking your church, you need to go to a different church.

Not Catholic, but read the synopsis and took a big pass on it. I’ve got a ton of better things to do than watch that kind of garbage.

I certainly didn’t.

Life is too short to spend any of it on pro-homosexual propaganda.

Homosexual acts should never have been legalized in the first place; and, they should again be made against the law.

Everywhere.

Most people in America pay a monthly bill - and a rather large monthly bill - to have this stuff piped to their living rooms.

And with ads to boot !

One of the many,*many* reasons why I'm thankful to be Catholic is that I've never had to worry about any kind of “communicable” diseases...including the lethal ones.

**warning, this is brash and might melt a snowflake***

Let’s just suppose by some mystical event, all the queers vanished. How would America survive??

1. All the big city restaurant industry would be hit.
2. The big no-one-wears fashion industry would be hit.
3. Hollywood might just crumble.

I think the rest of the country could survive quite well.

Is it any wonder why our nation is in such deep doo doo?

Catechism of the Catholic Church

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
