This is not good. You likely remember that earlier this month, the University of Notre Dame announced that it was complying with the law by offering spousal benefits to same-sex partners.
The problem is...there's no such law.
The Sycamore Trust released its latest bulletin and it's a must read.
As we have reported, earlier this month the university announced that, since same-sex marriages are now legal in Indiana after the Supreme Court refused to review the lower court decisions striking down Indiana's ban, Notre Dame would extend spousal benefits to spouses in same-sex civil marriages. Those benefits include not only health insurance but such particularly symbolic privileges as married student housing. The university explained:
We thought Notre Dame meant there is some law requiring Notre Dame to do this. We thought "follow the law" meant, well, follow the law. You might have thought the same thing.
You would have been wrong.
Since we couldn't find such a law, we asked the university to tell us which law they meant and why they hadn't raised a religious liberty objection. When we received no reply, we wrote again, this time to the general counsel with a copy to Father Jenkins. We said we'd conclude there is no such law if we got no response within a week.
Again, no reply.

It was a fair cop.
My denomination doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage or ordain gays. Ironically, we are having a 6 hour simulcast with the Bishop to talk about Homosexuality.
I grew up with a gay man. I think I already know everything I need to know.
They are preparing us for the inevitable embrace of same-sex marriage. A denomination of this size cannot lawyer up enough to win the battle when the Gaystapo knocks on the door. We are about to separate the sheep and the goats.
We are next door to the most conservative conference in the UMC. That will be an interesting fight.
And I think that is the truth. As far as my eyes can see there is nothing but troubles on the horizon.
Wow...the fair haired homos, abortion lovers and Obama-Worshipers at Notre Shame, really put up a tough fight on this one.

Like there has been since about 33AD. But this too will pass. A year from now, same-sex marriage will be nothing.
As I said during one of my last sermons (which are rare), “I didn’t write a word in this Bible but if I repeat some of it, I’m gonna get the blame for it.”
I shall not be at all surprised if it gets even worse. You cannot inject poison (Liberal Judges) into the national bloodstream without suffering consequences for it.

Or Prosecuted, which is becoming more and more likely every day. I presume you keep up with the insanity occurring in England and Europe?
-——the Pope will soon speak to this blasphame. There is shame on Notre Dame!!! Bad shame!!-——
The current Pope ?
I’m afraid you will very disappointed....
