God continues to grant Jeremiah Wright his prayer.
Gays have already destroyed the American Catholic Church.
The laughed at the War On Christmas.
Well, now it War On Christians!
The Church must stop providing state marriages. They don’t mean a thing except to the state.
The Church should continue to offer the sacrament of matrimony. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
The libs really are trying to get EVERYTHING on their (late ‘60s, early ‘70s) agenda done before Obama is out of office.
How about the Mosque?
Catholics should be asking themselves why their utterly useless pope doesn’t personally excommunicate Anthony Kennedy for heresy.
Everyone is asleep if they believe this is the end of the gay’s onward war.
Maybe because he’s utterly useless? And complicit.
People read Romans 12:18-31, usually, as “these are the things for which God will bring judgement on a nation”.
But actually, given the first few words, “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven AS...”
What we’re experiencing, matching the list of social conditions in the rest of the section,
IS the judgement of God on our nation.
Ive read the book
I know how it ends
God wins.
I never seem to get an answer when I ask liberals whether Imams should be compelled by the state to perform homo “weddings”.
They act as if the question hasn’t even been heard.
Indeed! They will not stop until THEY are considered the norm and Christians/real marriage are considered odd.
Actually, I think they’ll go for a small diocese first. Our bishop (small diocese) wrote a good letter that was to be read at all masses yesterday...and a lot of the priests (older VII types) didn’t read it.
So I think they’ll look for a place that is vulnerable because it’s already slightly undermined from within and probably the orthodox bishop himself doesn’t think that it’s an important enough place for him to really have to worry about it.
Gays have already destroyed the American Catholic Church.

Lol! NO...they have not and NEVER will.
(PS It’s simply the Catholic Church...NOT the American Catholic Church. THAT is something entirely different.)
This indeed is our judgment and going to get much, much worse.
Forgive my ignorance, but do people just walk up to a random church and ask to be married there? Do the churches comply?
Similarly, I have heard stories of Rabbis who have refused to perform interfaith weddings. Will this be allowed to continue? Will a Catholic church be forced to perform a gay wedding, while synagogues continue denying interfaith weddings?
Shouldn't it be either weddings for all anywhere, or weddings only at the discretion of the establishment based on its long-standing deeply held convictions?
So when does the push-back from other religions begin?

Marriage licenses became mandatory in 1639, in Massachusetts.
From THE COLONIAL FAMILY IN AMERICA While we think of the early New England settlers as very religious, they actually viewed marriage as a civil contract, not a religious contract. Consequently, marriage was a function of the magistrates more than the clergy.
From LEGISLATIVE GUIDE TO MARRIAGE LAW Iowa.gov They (Puritans founders of Massachusetts) believed that marriage was not a religious ceremony but a civil contract. They required that this covenant must be agreed or executed (not performed or solemnized) before a magistrate, and not a minister. They also insisted that if the terms of the marriage covenant were broken, then the union could be ended by divorce. These attitudes became the basis of regional marriage customs throughout New England.
We are truly in the Days of Noah.
