The High Court voted in a sweeping broad-based decision that sodomite marriage is a constitutional right. The vote went as largely expected in a 5–4 ruling where Catholic Justice Anthony Kennedy, a long time ally for homosexual rights, equated the struggle for sodomite marriage to the civil rights battle for blacks in the 1960s.
In a giant step going even further, Kennedy also addressed the issue of the children of homosexual couples, saying they had a right not to be humiliated by their parents not being legally recognized as married.
Reports from various gay and gay-friendly media are saying that the fix has been on this for quite some time, even down to the day of the decision being released. Earlier in the week, the Court announced it was adding Friday, June 26, to what are called “hand-down” days, referring to days on which decisions are handed down. That is somewhat unusual because decisions are not generally handed down on Fridays.
However, this Friday happens to be June 26 — a very significant date for the synergy between the homofascist movement and the courts. The New York Times recently reported that Justice Kennedy has a homosexual law clerk this term. His name is Joshua Matz. Matz wrote a law review article a couple of years back called "The Constitutional Inevitability of Same-Sex Marriage." It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that Matz let his boss know that June 26t is a virtual holy day in the gay culture.
The decision coming down today on June 26 makes this date the day of decision for three of Justice Kennedy’s four big gay cases, all favorable to homofascists — Lawrence, Windsor and Obergefell — Obergefell of course being today's decision — all of them being decided on June 26 in various years. A fourth case was decided on another date.
Writing the majority opinion in this case virtually enshrines Justice Kennedy — one of six Catholics on the Court — as the one single individual most responsible for the advancement of sodomy being institutionalized in the United States. In fact, the case could be made — owing to America's power and prestige — the one individual most responsible for the enshrining of homosexuality in history.
Kennedy represents, personifies all that has gone wrong in the Catholic Church in America these past decades.
Another justice, Sonia Sotomayor, is also a baptized Catholic, but she was seated on the bench by Obama and is largely rumored to be a lesbian, or at least extremely friendly to the cause. Kennedy, however, is a Reagan appointee and had been the hope of many solid Catholics back in the day to be the one to stop — or at least slow — the aggressive push in U.S. courts for immorality.
At this day and time, perhaps no man on earth more personifies the line from the Psalms: "Do not put your trust in princes."
It is worth pausing here and noting that the continual slide into Hell of America has been aided and abetted and in many cases even led by traitorous Catholics — some of them lay people, others clerics. Doctor John Rock, a Catholic, invented the birth control pill. Ted Kennedy, even from his death bed, championed Obamacare with its contraceptive mandate and abortion funding. Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Kathleen Sebelius and a host of others from the Catholic Rogues Gallery have all turned traitor.
It is established tradition now that among powerful or influential American Catholics that they abandon the Faith and give themselves over to Lucifer, the most recent of which is Anthony Kennedy. With this diabolical victory now in hand, faithful Catholics should now see the hand-writing on the wall. It has never been enough for the homofascist movement to just achieve equality. Advocates want those who disagree forced to submit and sign off and give their approval to homosexuality as a natural good. This decision will be used to force that issue in areas of employment, commerce, education, health care, courts, even religious institutions.
Catholics should not see this as an end. It is now just the beginning. Be prepared for the persecution that will come — because it will surely come.

What he fails to discuss here is that these traitorous, apostate "Catholics" have been aided and abetted by the lily-livered Catholic hierarchy, particularly those in this country.
These results were predicted long ago. For example, when Pope Leo XIII wrote Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, back in 1899 (Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae), he cautioned against watering down the Faith in order to make it more palatable:
The underlying principle of these new opinions is that, in order to more easily attract those who differ from her, the Church should shape her teachings more in accord with the spirit of the age and relax some of her ancient severity and make some concessions to new opinions. Many think that these concessions should be made not only in regard to ways of living, but even in regard to doctrines which belong to the deposit of the faith. They contend that it would be opportune, in order to gain those who differ from us, to omit certain points of her teaching which are of lesser importance, and to tone down the meaning which the Church has always attached to them. It does not need many words, beloved son, to prove the falsity of these ideas if the nature and origin of the doctrine which the Church proposes are recalled to mind. The Vatican Council says concerning this point: "For the doctrine of faith which God has revealed has not been proposed, like a philosophical invention to be perfected by human ingenuity, but has been delivered as a divine deposit to the Spouse of Christ to be faithfully kept and infallibly declared. Hence that meaning of the sacred dogmas is perpetually to be retained which our Holy Mother, the Church, has once declared, nor is that meaning ever to be departed from under the pretense or pretext of a deeper comprehension of them." -Constitutio de Fide Catholica, Chapter iv.
But what did the hierarchy continue to do? Water down the hard truths of the Faith in order to make it more "in accord with the spirit of the age." What did it get us?
I've heard Voris elsewhere identify this problem. But not here...in a report where it was so desperately needed.
The JUDASes seem to be multiplying!
How is this the Catholic Church’s fault? A couple of really bad, fallen away Catholics sit on the highest court in the land and it’s the Church’s fault? The usual blame-the-Catholic stuff that gets wide support on FR.
Gay Marriage....I am being forced to participate...I must bake cake, or take photographs, or issue licenses.
The law is wrong when it takes away others rights.
It also applies to abortions...that unborn child has rights. It's ridiculous to say they don't because if you kill the child after birth...there is no doubt....you're a murderer.
I’m sorry. This is the Catholic Church in America’s fault. We are 25% of the voting population and even 30% of some of the largest states like CA and NY... or at least we were as recently as 10 years ago.
If the Church had simply held firm to Her doctrine and been firm in Her teaching, we wouldn’t be in the boat we are in. I’ve been screaming to the bishops from the rooftops (see my homepage) but they have largely led us in this direction with their soft advocacy (and sometime outright cheerleading) of the Democrat Party.
It’s sad but true.
Amen...look at the support Democrats receive from Catholics in ‘blue states’. Large Catholic population = blue state.
Statistically, one of the 3 women should have voted against gay marriage.
At least in the US the roman church has spent a lot of time and effort electing democrat politicians
The church tolerates these apostates as members, and ought to excommunicate them. That’s the only thing the church has failed to do. The court decisions aren’t on the church’s shoulders, the church does not control the courts. But it does have control over admission to its own body.
I'm not Catholic, and I make a point of not engaging in Catholic bashing, and I frequently criticize others who engage in it.
But the current Pope is simply one example of why some people see some elements of the Catholic hierarchy as a contributor to the problems. People like the Kennedys should have been kicked out of the church a long time ago. But principles gave way to money and power.
Mind you: Protestants are also not without blame. There is no shortage of Protestant preachers who do not walk the walk.
Tension between law and morality is not unsual. People have to choose which is superior in their own lives. The law will always say that it is superior, even as it asserts an immoral or harmful action.
You may be at the one parish in this country that is the exception (if you are, you need to thank God for how blessed you are), but:
Contrast this with the following list:
Take it one step further.
Finally, how many politicians has your local Ordinary imposed Canon 915 restrictions on? Mine (Donna Wuerl) refuses to do so. In fact, mine (Donna Wuerl) disciplined a local priest (Fr. Guarnizo) when he refused to communicate an openly declared lesbian buddhist when she presented herself for communion at a funeral.
We shouldn't be drinking our own bathwater here.
Why is June 26 a homo holiday? Stonewall was June 28th.
This is not directly the Church’s fault, but the American bishops have been in bed with the progressives for over 100 years. They let the monster in the living room and now it is turning on them.
We need to pray for Catholic clergy, and for our nation.
Kennedy also addressed the issue of the children of homosexual couples, saying they had a right not to be humiliated by their parents not being legally recognized as married.
Are they going to force hetero shack-up/single parents to get married? How about mandatory fat camps for obese parents so the children aren't humiliated by their parents' appearance?
Obviously the prisons need to be shut down. Children have a right not to be humiliated by their parents being in jail.
Egads. It's not the parents' behaviors at fault, it's the rest of society's fault for not validating and embracing every vice.
It's for the children.
I am currently reading the entire decision (it's lengthy) and have a few comments on this notion.
First, if the good Justice is so concerned about children being humiliated, maybe he should focus on addressing the perversion the child's "parents" practice. Instead of lowering the river, maybe he should raise the bridge.
Secondly, does no such stigma attach to children of unmarried heterosexual couples? Would that then not compel a state interest in preventing children of unwed couples? Yet the Court has remained silent on that matter, or where it has ruled, has ruled in favor of permissiveness rather than conservation.
Thirdly, maybe the children of queers SHOULD be humiliated, just as the children of other deviants should be ashamed of their parents. Not all behavior is equally respectable, and often the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons. It may be unfair, but an adult would recognize the danger of exposing his offspring to such ridicule, and would rein in his carnal instincts accordingly. This ruling obviates that need.
Finally, it is hard to conceive that the embarrassment of a few children is the rightful concern of the Supreme Court of the United States, and that redefining a cornerstone cultural institution is the logical consequence of that concern. It is also unlikely that "legitimizing" homosexual relations will change many minds about its true MORAL legitimacy. Thus, the children will STILL be subject to taunts and torments until it can be proven that homosexual "marriage" is the MORAL equal of heterosexual marriage. And since the biological imperative behind the latter is unattainable in the former, that is not likely to happen any time in the foreseeable future.
In light of the above, Justice Kennedy's "reasoning" is little more than shallow justification for imposing a personal set of values on history, under the guise of judicial equity.
This is an interesting observation. He refuses to criticize the pope, but now it seems he doesn't criticize the bishops either.
Michael Voris becomes more and more irrelevant. I used to think he spoke the truth, no longer.
In fairness, he has frequently skewered them...and does so quite frequently. I just thought he should have mentioned it in this report.
Voris needs some work. At this point, the only defensible position for Catholics would appear to be Sedevacantism. How can this Pope be a true Pope when NOBODY is excommunicated over this?
What about the rabbis - there are Jews sitting on that court in direct violation of Jewish law. Protestants sitting there in direct violation of the Bible. But, no, as always, always, always focus on Catholics here at FR.
