“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
It is for Freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1
The homosexual agenda is not about marriage or so called a right to a sexual group but a method for the communist wing to promote their political ideology. Just as the women’s movement was used to promote the communist agenda in the 60’s, such as abortion being a right rather than a moral judgment; so too is the homosexual marriage movement becoming their latest agenda promotional tool. This is simply a tactic to break down our society to be replaced with a gummit mandate.
During the 60’s and 70’s when women were burning their bras to protest their oppression by the so called Patriarchal society, their leaders were heavily communist oriented. The men and women who headed their movement never cared about what was beneficial for women, they wanted to form a country that was more like Mao’s China or Castro’s Cuba so they used the uprising to accomplish their goals. Those countries made women work like slaves for the communal society rather than raise children. Once they were able to make abortion on demand a right rather than killing their babies they were able to bring in more and more government programs. Just like Mao’s China, women work in the factories to support the growing State while the kids are raised in the childcare centers.
The communist leadership of these groups learned to use these so called oppressed groups as voting blocks and generated activists to continue moving communism down the road. They sold the women on the idea that without these groups they would be tied to a stove with five kids hanging on their apron strings rather than the so called equality in the workplace they deserved. Now they have more than accomplished their goals and women are suffering from more depression, alcoholism, abuse, sickness and divorce than any time in history as a side benefit.
Women for the most part would be happy to stay at home and have kids just like the 50s if they could afford to. This of course is no longer possible thanks to the communal programs which have been installed to take care of the abandoned mothers who have been a result of the sexual revolution which came with the so called equality. You would think women would be smart enough to set their goals higher than equal to a man. The leaders simply justify all of the single parent apartments as another tool to get to the children and indoctrinate them before they have a chance to understand there was another way called independence and freedom which actually worked.
Is marriage perfect? No. Are there high divorce rates? Yes, but a part of that is the breakdown of our society by the communist inspired groups like the women’s movement. Women have been lectured it is better to raise a child without a father than it is to have arguments around the child. This is as far from the truth as you can get. Of course there are going to be arguments about all sorts of issues inside a marriage including how we are going to pay all of these taxes for ever growing communal programs. It is important for the child to see how two loving people work through these arguments from opposite sides just like every issue they will see in their lives, but the communists want those kids in their indoctrination centers rather than a family so they tell the woman to become a single mother for their agenda.
Now they are going for the kill. The only thing that is semi holding this society together is the church and if they can force the church out of America they then are god. The women’s movement and abortion has marginalized the church and divided the society. It has also built a solid voting block for their allies in the Democrat Party whose leaders are fully on board with their agenda. Women now believe if they cannot have access to abortion they are not equal to a man which puts the church in the position of protecting the voices inside the womb. Of course the women’s movement calls that sexist and alienates the church from mainstream society since the Three Pillars of Propaganda (media, academia and the DNC) determine what is mainstream, isolating the church and Christians.
Now the communists want to destroy the Christian churches in America by making it a law you must marry homosexuals or lose your church. They want to make it a crime of discrimination for a pastor to deny the rights of poor oppressed homosexuals if you refuse to marry them. They will then punish the church and pastors both through public humiliation and ridicule as well as financial punishment such as taking away the tax exemption and finally, jail. This will effectively destroy the Christian church which has been their goal since the 1930’s because the church stands in the way of the communist utopia.
They are now going to push the cliché of gay rights, just as they did women’s right to make another oppressed group justifying their agenda. Is women’s lives better or worse since the movement? They are pointing out how high the divorce rate is among heterosexuals which has skyrocketed since their agenda was pushed for women and women fell for it. We are already seeing higher divorce rates among homosexuals in states that have allowed marriages and civil unions than heterosexual’s as would be expected. When the average male homosexual has over four hundred partners why would you expect a marriage to one person to last? But that isn’t why it is being promoted.
This is not about homosexual marriage at all. It is about promoting a communist agenda and giving the government a larger role in marriage and everyone’s lives. This is about forcing the American culture to change forever because the communists need to expand State control and destroy the church so gummit can become your god. Everything else is smoke and mirrors when homosexual marriage is promoted, it is a wedge issue to take down the church and give their willing masses a reason to promote that agenda. Just like abortion they are fooled into thinking they are being good tolerant people by helping push gay marriage against those evil intolerant Christians/Republicans. This is now a tenant of the church of liberalism to be a good person rather than an evil one. Their cultists believe supporting this makes them a better person and will go to the ends of the earth promoting tolerance.
The Republican Party needs to stand up and fight side by side with the church. This is not about a cute issue of tolerance and protecting homosexual rights. This is about the survival of the church and the right to religious freedom, the freedom to worship the Bible and God. This is about the survival of America and One Nation Under God. We have seen them take away religious rights against contraceptive and abortion and this is their final nail in the church. They know what the final outcome will be and it has been their goal for decades. We will have a society with no moral compass and no pastors to shine the light into the darkness. This battle has been going on long before the 1930’s and will go on until the Resurrection of Christ.
Pray for America

Morning AB, All....
....thank you AB, as always, for doing this thread. If you think we don’t notice, try a Sunday NOT posting it.
Oh....tried that?
I rest my case.
Anyway, Happy Easter to all...the words of “Jesus Christ Is Risen Today” are ear worms in my brain. Sang at Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, last night.
Good Friday was excrutiating.
Two Deacons evidently wanted to serenade us. So they both sang some sort of thank you song...thanking the pope, our elected officials...that sort of thing.
Question one....we had to pray for the Jews.
Now I don’t mind praying for the Jews, not at all. But why just the Jews? We didn’t pray for Muslims, or Presbyterians for that matter.
The bigger issue was there were about twelve different sorts to pray for and each Deacon sang some kind of narrative with each “pray for”.
The absurd thing was those thoughtless Deacons making the congregation kneel and stand with each pray for.
THAT’S 22 KNEELS AND STANDS folks, for an older congregation I might add! Whole thing took about 45 minutes, really a pain.
The in-pew “breaking bread” had instructions that said we could stand the whole time during the prayers but the selfish Deacons were on a roll.
Lookit, maybe cause I had a quadruple bypass and standing and kneeling like that is excrutiating for those of us with compromised circulation.
The Deacons could have given the congregation a choice to stand the whole time and avoid the constant kneeling and stuff.
In fact, our parish Pastor stood the whole time cause he was totally unable to do all that kneeling with his bum leg.
Yeah, I’m mad about it. It was a selfish, thoughtless thing for two show-offs to sing their solos.
Went to Baltimore last week to visit daughter, got some stories on her....my prototype low-information voter, and I say that kindly. Yeah she’s LO-FO but she’s a busy Mom, getting up at 5 in the am to drive husband to work, hoisting young child out of bed, taking her back home, dressing, ready for school, drive to school. Must re-pick up husband at 2 pm. In between she must do what Mom’s do.
She’s not stupid....but she’s Lo-Fo....
I consider Low Information voters as those who have been fooled and don’t have the time, nor the inclination frankly, to find out how they have been fooled.
Awaiting intelligent commentary as always...
I really don't.
The Sunday shows are just media propaganda every week, and they just keep getting worse, and their litany of perennial guests become more and more scripted, expected and strident, and it is just unwatchable.
On Easter Sunday, it's nice to have the Cardinals, but I'm sure they'll be asked about the Pope Francis washing girls’ feet, and gay marriage, and basically opposed on things conservative and scripturally sound...
If this thread gets to 100 posts today I'll be surprised!
Happy Easter to all,may the belief in a higher being who created us all flourish as liberalism dies.
Well it IS Easter, AB.
But here after three days of church and a visit to Baltimore, it’s just me and husband and I am quite happy about that.
I alone will post 100 comments to the thread.
I got some thoughts about Bray’s essay. Just let me get my thoughts together.
Yes, Pat, my parish did the same Intersessionary Prayers (but they do every year).
As to praying for the Jews as a single prayer, remember that our Saviour is a Jew... That’s the way I see it.
The next prayer was for Muslims and others...
A few years back the Church got into trouble as they called for conversion of all these peoples, including the “Perfidious Jews”. That language has since been scrubbed (in 1955 I think).
Happy Easter All!
It’s another great sunny Sunday and temps in...THE 50S!
I’ll be outside today, enjoying the nice break from the drudgery of Winter (appropriately Easter-like)
Thanks for the thread and ping AB.
Brilliant as usual buddy and Happy Easter to ya. Haven't got your new pathway to winning elections yet but I will.If you have a link for it please put it up.
What we are witnessing is how the left segregates Americans and begins the process of special rights for special people. It's all part of the vote buying process that the left is so good at.
In reality its even more complex than we know since chaos, destruction, diversion and the rest all play a huge part as well.
As important an issue as gay rights,global warming and the rest are they pale to what the commies in charge are doing to the country.
They know this. Therefore the game is always to keep us looking at what they doing with the right hand while the left hand does the incredible destruction that we don't watch or pay attention to.
In Benghazi 30 witnesses to the slaughter of now five have been silenced possibly one talked, no budget for years, endless debt haunts our children,the MB incrementally takes over the Mideast as whacked out muzzies plan to conquer the world,our economy, currency heads toward collapse,amnesty nears,we get the sequester media game designed to destroy our side instead of desperately needed budget cuts and on and on and on it goes. Meanwhile, global warming no White hut tours and other such meaningless topics occupy the minds of duped American one more time.
So, is this guy a real Catholic...or "one of Them"?
Ain't nothing wrong with asking for the malicious murderers to have a change of heart. Downright charitable if you ask me.
I agree. It was the phrase “Perfidious Jews” that caused the controversy, post Nazi Holocaust.
My understanding is Wuerl is a conservative.
Happy Easter Fish.
He Has Risen!
Well, since they were referring only to the treacherous/traitorous Jews (secular?) you'd think the real Jews would applaud the effort.
The professed goals of these fiends are never their real goals. Nevertheless, the gullible, greedy, and ignorant continue to fall for them. As P.T.Barnum once said, "there's a sucker born every minute".
Jesus came to save us from our sin and free us from it's slavery. The Commies showed up to pile more of it on us and put us in bondage and chains to it (and them). In the end it is a choice we freely make.
Happy Resurrection Day! He is risen!!
