Ping. (As usual, if you would like to be added to or removed from my "conservative Catholics" ping list, just send me a FReepmail. Please realize that some of my "ping" posts are long.)

I used to say to these things - "Unbelievable."

Now, it is just another, everyday, believable nightmare of the times in which we live.

I believe it was David Frum at National Review Online who predicted a couple of months ago this would be the next step. Anyone who speaking out against homosexuality, especially the Catholic church, would be accused of hate crimes.

How long before a person is accused of merely looking like they have a bad thought agains gays?

Pretty soon we will all be like that Twilight Zone episode, walking around "thinking good thoughts" and saying "It's a very good thing you've done."

Let there be no doubt: they mean to outlaw our Faith.

The Bible has been rejected by many as hate speech. People want to believe in a god without rules and when they encounter a consequence they simply cry "Where is God?"

My favorite line is from people who say that they can't believe in a god that would allow consequences (pain & suffering for behaviors.) They perfer a god that ignores sinful behavior and then micro-manages consequences, and they want a government that works the same way.

I think the headline is misleading. When I saw that someone was "accused of a hate crime," I assumed that criminal charges had been brought.

But that's not what happened at all. Instead, the priest was "accused," apparently, by six letters to the editor.

Probably the besst thing to do in this situation is for every parish to preach against homosexuality and let the cops put them in jail. And let the parishioners gather at the jails to sing hymns 24/7.

Canada becomes more like Rome under Nero....
No wonder the smart and talented Canadians are all in Hollywood. No wonder Hollywood is such a bunghole of cultural rot.

Bump and ping.

There is hope as long as sane voices can be heard and as yet we are not burning the truth-speakers at the stake.

Hate Crimes & Political Correctness are acronyms for Censorship of Truth.

Anyone with the courage and integrity to speak the truth about anything - need not apply for work anywhere.

"However, of ten subsequent letters to the Star responding to Rev. de Valk's article, six accused the priest of hate crime."

This displays how well organized the homosexual agenda is, and how indifferent too many Christians are. One percent of the population can make themselves appear to be 60% because they work together and never rest. We on the other side of this sexual debauchery issue need to do the same.

One part of the International Criminal Court statute -- the "crimes against humanity" is designed to do the same thing -- make traditional religious teaching a crime. There is also language that could be used to imprison church officials for refusing to perform a same-sex marriage. We know that the ICC advocates intend to use the ICC against churches and religious people, because at one point a group of conservative countries tried to get language into the statute that would have made clear that the statute was not to be used against religions. The radical law professors negotiating on behalf of the Western nations, and "volunteering" to represent some small countries that couldn't afford to send a representative, went nuts, and the language didn't make it in.

There is no question but that the left will not be satisfied until they completely silence traditional religious people.

Despite the fact that Rev. de Valk merely presented Church teaching on the matter, distinguishing between homosexual acts and persons with homosexual inclinations, he was nevertheless accused of hate

Bishop Colli told the Chronicle Journal that he only had a cordial discussion with Fr. Gale and expressed a few concerns. The Bishop and Gale talked about the sermon during a telephone conversation yesterday, which Gale described as cordial. "He wasn't out to malign the church but wanted people to make a decision based on a well-informed conscience and that's what the church expects everyone to do," said the Bishop. The Bishop and Gale appeared to be reflecting the theology of the Canadian bishops' original Winnipeg statement which has for decades been used by many clergy and laity to justify their dissent from the church's teaching on contraception and other moral issues.

Polycarp, this bishop should be excommunicated along with Gale! This is sickening and disheartening!

Thanks for the post!

Liberals would love to make criticism of homosexuality a "hate crime" in America too.
