There arent enough homosexuals to wage war on religious institutionsthey comprise only 1.6 percent of the populationbut they have plenty of support among elites. From Wall Street to Wal-Mart, the corporate elite has gone lavender, embracing the gay-rights movement with as much gusto as exercised by elites in education, the arts, the entertainment industry, and the media. Will they now take the next step and attempt to shut down the churches? Anyone who thinks that radical activists will stop with gay marriage is ignorant: The big prize has always been to force the churches to fall in line. Consider Mark Oppenheimer, who writes a biweekly column for the New York Times. His post of June 28, featured at Time.com, calls on the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of houses of worship. The only difference between Oppenheimer and others in the lavender camp is his willingness to put down a marker right after the high court victory. Others will wait. Now if this becomes an issue in the presidential campaignit is up to those opposed to gay marriage to make it oneit is going to be very hard for Hillary to make Oppenheimers case. Even so, this offers little comfort. Stealth politics is what the left is good at, and on this issue they will have their unelected surrogates at the IRS do their bidding. There will also be legal challengesthe ACLU sued before trying to shut down the Catholic Churchso keep your eye on left-wing non-profits. Count on Americans United for Separation of Church and State to flex its muscles, along with a host of other militant foes of religious liberty. Surely extremists in the atheist community will relish the fight. Religious leaders are going to be pressed on this issue like nothing weve seen before. They had better be readythe other side is.
Give it time that will change.

No Catholic priest that follows the tenants of his faith will do that. If he does he won’t be a priest very long. Most Catholic priests act like a Catholic priest. The ones that get radical are not around very long.
Hillary has already laid down her own marker in her remark that things need to be re-thought among the religious crowd, something close.
All that our candidates need to do is pick up what she said and use it. You are absolutely correct. That crap will not stand with black Christians, God bless them.
We are going to be amazed who all will stand with us. I appreciate your comment on that fact. It will make a difference. Hillary will have to claw back her pompous remark in order to win South Carolina and much of the South.
They want to break churches financially. This includes their ministries and charitable organizations that always include some offense to some sexually deviating group.
Catholic Charities is of course a prime example. No longer are they free to sponsor adoptions at all. Some gay couple is ready to strike, challenge and sue their socks off. There is no religious practice outside of the churches doors in any service to the public, to their own hiring practices in church administration, perhaps even parochial schools.
Catholic and other Christian businesses will be in the same boat soon. Give it time and you’ll see that publications will be affected also. There will be no opinion tolerated against abomination.
Religious practice, beliefs and teachings will get the Boy Scouts treatment imposed before you can turn around. Look at Canada. Ask Canadian Christians for whom the bell is tolling.
I’m just reacting to a posting here by stb. I hope no member of clergy of any denomination falls under the spell of the homo banner. I’m just saying all denominations are under Satanic attack and our government may be our next opponent.
I believe that churches should never have been registered with the IRS in the first place.
It is time for churches and Pastors to end being agents of the state..
I’m sure Bishop Gregory fully knows what happens at the Shrine and fully endorses it. He is obviously trying to pull the more judgemental parishes that direction..which is the direction he learned from the Archdiocese of Chicago and brought with him to the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
