"Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race. The possibility of using recently discovered methods of artificial reproduction, beyond involving a grave lack of respect for human dignity,(15) does nothing to alter this inadequacy."
CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PROPOSALS TO GIVE LEGAL RECOGNITION TO UNIONS BETWEEN HOMOSEXUAL PERSONS

Who'd a thunk it?
Ping!
Well, there's one Canadian who has some backbone...next?
I totally agree. "The goal is to acquire a powerful psychological weapon to change society's rejection of homosexual activity and lifestyle into gradual, even if reluctant, acceptance" says it all.

An Anglican who gets it right.

Uh oh, bet the PC police have a boxcar on its way to load him into.
A man with the courage of his convictions. Refreshing. I hope he can stand up to the storm. G_d be with him.
Hope he has a good defense attorney.
Hate crime! Hate crime!

Boy, this good Bishop better have a DEEP bunker!
He can get away with it in Alberta.
Ontario would be a different story.
In any case, I admire him for speaking out.
Go to the head of the class BUMP!
Bravo to this Bishop! But I wonder how Canada could possibly curtail homosexuality at this point?
A real bishop in Canada, Wow. WTG Bishop Henry!
Extra responsibilities at work will keep me away from my keyboard for the next week or so. I will only be able to ping the list early AM or late PM so little jeremiah will help fill the gap when possible.
Also, For those that are following the story and may have missed it, Michael Marcavage the leader of Repent America (the Christian group that was arrested in Philly) will appear on Good Morning America [ABC] this AM. So set your VCR if you are away at work.
If you want on/off the list let me and little jeremiah know.
