Refusing to support a “Gay awareness Day” Bay area nuns take a stand for Catholic doctrine
Coach is Right ^ | 5/3/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

In response to their own Catholic high school’s participation in a day of silence designed to show support for homosexuality, five nuns walked out of their classrooms last week. These strong women decided to stand with Catholic doctrine in recognition of their faith, beliefs and mission to teach their students the Church’s position on aberrant sexuality.

Billed as a “national Day of Silence” the stunt was concocted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network a New York organization which has been pushing the “Day” scheme since 2000. The stand taken by the nuns comes as an affirmation of the authority of Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone who is the bishop of the diocese which includes Marin.

The archbishop has, “proposed requiring teachers and staff members at Marin Catholic and three other parochial high schools to accept contract and handbook language condemning homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion and birth control.” Archbishop Cordileone has been a “problem” for San Francisco’s fake Catholics – particularly Nancy Pelosi – since he was assigned to his position several years ago. He has forced Pelosi to make a series of stupid and unfounded remarks about Catholic doctrine and is not well received by the general CINO (Catholic In Name Only) community.

In explanation of their action, the five Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist issued a letter directed to their students saying, “We went home on Friday because what happened was inappropriate. We went home because we were made to feel uncomfortable and used for another’s agenda. We went home because the Catholic school and faith that we love was being compromised.”

The sisters said they learned of the event from a Facebook announcement that...

I read on another board where a gay person blasted a Christian and said Jesus said to love one another. The Christian replied and said I have nothing but love for you, but I reject your sin. The gay person then said “Well God made me this way” and the Christian said “Does God make murderers, thieves and rapists”? The gay said no, and the Christian said He didn’t make you gay either. It’s your decision, not God’s

Call it sodomite awareness day or homosexual behavior awareness day and it might have a shot.

If you love another, you are not going to encourage them to march off to an eternity in hell.

If you love the praise of the world, and current popular opinion, sure - encourage someone to celebrate their sin. You are damning your own soul for eternity, as is the willful sinner, but at least you can think high of yourself as the world pats you on your back for your 'tolerance'.

The biggest reason I believe that the federally-sanctioned gay marriage is so awful is that if passed it will place the government in charge of marriage edging out what has always been in the spiritual domain.

This is not good. When the government has the last say on marriage then these nuns will be arrested and their goods will be confiscated and their order will be destroyed, unless they learn to SHUT THE HELL UP.

Do you think that the leftists will not form roving RICO-sniffing committees? And do to religious orders what they have done to pizza and cake bakers?

It happened in England when Henry VIII took over the Catholic Church. And it can happen again.

And that is the crux of the whole thing. The fallen are experts at twisting God’s love and the grace purchased by Christ for us into license and validation of corruption. The biggest indicator to any Christian that the lgbt movement is not Christ-like is its singular focus on sexual/fleshly identity. Christ didn’t come to imprison us in the coffin of our flesh affirming our fleshly weaknesses but instead to free us allowing us to transcend our corruption through Christ who offers us the path of Grace so that we may be made worthy though we are not and so we may be made incorruptible through salvation.

1 Timothy 4:1 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
