How long before it will no longer be safe to take children to the parade? Another venue now closed due to perversion.
Within 5 years, it will be mostly about homosexualty. St Patrick & Irish heritage, not so much.
You cannot take children to this parade.
When the smoke clears after all of this cultural destruction, it will be common knowledge that one cannot teach children about sexuality, nor expose them to it, before they reach the age of puberty without damaging their sensibility and their sexual development.
And to expose them to deviant sexual behavior and imagery is worse for the very reasons stated.
To explain to them what the banner means, is doing so. To attend the parade with kids is exposing them, and it is an endorsement, which is a bad spot from which to be teaching them about this deviancy.
The Catholic position, in history, tradition, and the bible from where Catechetical teaching comes, is that homosexuals are god’s children, that we do not judge them, rather we acknowledge their suffering, and they are certainly welcome in the Church, and not excommunicated.
And there is no position on whether this is an innate or learned tendency.
But the behavior is sinful, and therefore not to be endorsed, nor taught to children as a situation absent of morality.
If anyone cares to refute this, and say that it is impossible to raise children now without exposing them to sex prematurely, or deviant sex, including pornography, I refer them to Matthew 18:6, and tell them to just forget it and prepare an answer to God for when they meet Him.
I am surprised that the Ancient order of Hibernians want to close up shop after 150 years of facing the enemy with valor and quit like this.
It seems that that is what they are doing.
Am not surprised that the USCCB and C Dolan would join in, though it is so wrong it’s beyond getting mad at.
