HOMOSEXUAL “Marriage” THREATENS THE EXISTENCE OF NATIONS AND CHRISTIANITY
Taking a Principled not a Personal Stand
In writing this statement, we have no intention to defame or disparage anyone. We are not moved by personal hatred against any individual. In intellectually opposing individuals or organizations promoting the homosexual agenda, our only intent is the defense of traditional marriage, the family, and the precious remnants of Christian civilization.
As practicing Catholics, are filled with compassion and pray for those who struggle against unrelenting and violent temptation to sodomy. We pray for those who fall into this vice out of human weakness, that God may assist them with His grace.
We are conscious of the enormous difference between these individuals who struggle with their weakness and strive to overcome it and others who transform their sin into a reason for pride and try to impose their lifestyle on society as a whole, in flagrant opposition to traditional Christian morality and natural law. However, we pray for these too. #8232;
We pray also for the judges, legislators and government officials who in one way or another take steps that favor homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.” We do not judge their intentions, interior dispositions, or personal motivations.
We reject and condemn any violence. We simply exercise our liberty as children of God (Rom. 8:21) and our constitutional rights to free speech and the candid, unapologetic and unashamed public display of our Catholic faith. We oppose arguments with arguments. To the arguments in favor of homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” we respond with arguments based on right reason, natural law and Divine Revelation.
In a polemical statement like this, it is possible that one or another formulation may be perceived as excessive or ironic. Such is not our intention.
In May 2008, Americans felt the full force of two actions favoring the homosexual movement. Same-sex “marriage” is now being imposed upon the nation by government fiat.
On May 15, 2008, California’s Supreme Court declared the unconstitutionality of Proposition 22 - ignoring the voices of 61% of California voters who approved the measure in 2000 - and all other California statutes restricting marriage to the union of one man and one woman and imposed homosexual “marriage” on the Golden State.
Concomitantly, New York Governor David Patterson unilaterally ordered all government agencies to revamp their rules, procedures, and regulations so as to show legal recognition to same-sex “marriages” contracted outside the state.
A. Acceptance of Same-Sex “Marriage” Is Incompatible with Christianity
1) Diverging Views on Reality and the Natural Order…
Secularism’s profound divergence from a Christian worldview anchored in reality lies at the root of this clash.
When man’s understanding of a thing corresponds to reality, it is true. When it does not, we have error which can be the result of an intellectual mistake, a whim, or an ideological bond that deforms our perception. In such cases, we detach ourselves from reality and attach ourselves to an illusory, utopian understanding of the thing.
2) …Lead to Different Concepts of Marriage, Family, and Society
Few issues illustrate the divergence between the secularist and the Christian worldviews as does today’s cultural battle over marriage. Secularists accept same-sex “marriage,” while denying the specific reality of marriage, rooted in nature. They deny that the self-evident biological, physiological and psychological differences between men and women find their complementarity in marriage, just as they deny that the specific primary purpose of marriage is the perpetuation of the human race and the raising of children.
This strictly natural concept of marriage is sustained by the Old and New Testaments.
We read in the Book of Genesis: “God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (1:28-29) The same was taught by Our Savior Jesus Christ: “From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.” (Mark 10:6-7)
Rejection of the Christian worldview is secularism’s negative, destructive aspect. Its “positive” aspect is the utopia of a society without moral restraints in which marriage and the family have been redefined.
3) Utopian Societies and Loss of Freedom
History is a great teacher. In the twentieth century, Nazism and communism showed the world that, when society loses its moorings in the natural order and gives itself over to utopias, the inevitable result is dictatorship. This dictatorship can take many forms and be exercised from the halls of government, party headquarters, judicial chambers, or media outlets.redefined.
4) Threat to Religion and Freedom
We should not delude ourselves. Over the past decades, in the western world, we have witnessed a rising tide of laws, decrees, regulations, and judicial decisions that favor homosexuality on one hand, and hinder and punish those who oppose them for reasons of faith and conscience on the other.
Shortly after the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex “marriage,” Prof. David R. Carlin observed:
The Christian moral system is no minor part of Christianity, any more than the heart or lungs are minor parts of the human body. Overthrow the Christian moral system and you will have overthrown Christianity itself. Therefore, those who are pushing for the institution of same-sex marriage are ipso facto pushing for the elimination of the Christian religion.
By legalizing same-sex “marriage,” the State becomes its official and active promoter. It calls on public officials to officiate at the new civil ceremony, orders public schools to teach its acceptability to children, and punishes any state employee who expresses disapproval.
In the private sphere, objecting parents will soon see their children exposed more than ever to this new “morality,” businesses offering wedding services will be forced to provide them for same-sex unions, and rental property owners will have to agree to accept same-sex couples as tenants.
In any situation where marriage affects society, the State will expect Christians and all people of good will to betray their consciences by condoning, through silence or act, an attack on Divine law and the natural order.
Left unchecked, this anti-Christian trend will morph into a veritable persecution.
5) Legalization of Same-Sex “Marriage” Creates a Terrible Problem of Conscience
As the homosexual revolution’s anti-Christian intolerance makes itself felt through increasingly persecutory measures, a terrible problem of conscience arises in any who resist: Should we follow our consciences? Should we give in?
For Catholics, the condoning of same-sex “marriage” would be tantamount to a renunciation of Faith. Protestantism, by going as far as officially ordaining homosexual clergy, make a mockery of the Divine precepts.
6) Moral Acceptance of Same-Sex “Marriage” Is Denial of Divine Revelation
As Prof. Carlin pointed out, the Christian moral system is an essential part of Christianity. Catholic dogma and morality are founded on Divine Revelation and therefore must be accepted by virtue of the supreme authority of God, Who guarantees their truthfulness and goodness. The same God Who revealed truths on what we must believe also revealed truths on how we are to live.
Therefore, when a Christian rejects a truth in moral matters that is clearly contained in Revelation, he rejects the Divine authority that guarantees that truth and the whole supernatural basis of the Faith.
Now, Divine Revelation, the “constant teaching of the Magisterium and the moral sense of the Christian people” clearly condemn homosexual acts. Thus, to deny the intrinsic evilness of the homosexual act, and, even more, to recognize it as worthy of practice or acceptance in the social order is to contradict expressly Divine Revelation (and the precepts of natural law).
Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose.
There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. Homosexual acts close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. (Catholic Catechism)
Sacred Scripture condemns homosexual acts as a serious depravity...(cf. Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:10; 1 Tim. 1:10)….This same moral judgment is found in many Christian writers of the first centuries and is unanimously accepted by Catholic Tradition.
There is no analogy between homosexual unions and God's plan for marriage. Our courts legalize same-sex “marriage” based on this non-existent analogy.
B. Same-Sex “Marriage” Harms the Common Good
Homosexual activists and their secularist allies frequently repeat the sophism that there is no harm in the legalization of same-sex “marriage” as it does not imply any change to or proscription of traditional marriage. Supposedly, both can coexist peacefully side by side.
Alerting the faithful to this sophism, it is necessary to point out several of the nefarious social consequences arising from the legalization of homosexual unions.
1) Legalization of Homosexual Unions Weakens Private and Public Morality
The law of the land acts as a teacher of what is morally acceptable.
In this area, one needs first to reflect on the difference between homosexual behavior as a private phenomenon and the same behavior as a relationship in society, foreseen and approved by the law, to the point where it becomes one of the institutions in the legal structure. This second phenomenon is not only more serious, but also assumes a more wide-reaching and profound influence, and would result in changes to the entire organization of society, contrary to the common good. Civil laws are structuring principles of man's life in society, for good or for ill. They “play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior.” Lifestyles and the underlying presuppositions these express not only externally shape the life of society, but also tend to modify the younger generation's perception and evaluation of forms of behavior. Legal recognition of homosexual unions would obscure certain basic moral values and cause a devaluation of the institution of marriage.
2) Legalization of Homosexual Unions Undermines Marriage and the Family
Laws in favor of homosexual unions are contrary to right reason. The State could not grant legal standing to such unions without failing in its duty to promote and defend marriage as an institution essential to the common good.
The inevitable consequence of legal recognition of homosexual unions would be the redefinition of marriage, which would become, in its legal status, an institution devoid of essential reference to factors linked to heterosexuality; for example, procreation and raising children. If, from the legal standpoint, marriage between a man and a woman were to be considered just one possible form of marriage, the concept of marriage would undergo a radical transformation, with grave detriment to the common good. By putting homosexual unions on a legal plane analogous to that of marriage and the family, the State acts arbitrarily and in contradiction with its duties.
3) Reason does not Support the Legalization of Homosexual Unions
Because homosexual unions cannot fulfill the primary purpose of marriage, they have no rational justification.
Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race.
Recourse to artificial means of conception does not cure this fundamental flaw in same-sex unions. Rather, it makes them all the more unnatural, since such means are “a grave lack of respect for human dignity.
4) Legalization of Homosexual Unions Denigrates Conjugal Love
Lastly, same-sex unions lack a real conjugal dimension, which represents the human and ordered form of sexuality.
Lawful, conscientious resistance to same-sex “marriage” and the homosexual movement is a moral obligation to all who claim to be Christian
1) Catholics Have an Obligation to Oppose Same-Sex “Marriage”
Considerations states that Catholics must do their utmost to oppose the legalization of homosexual unions. We are bound a fortiori to resist homosexual “marriage,” taking into account the following points in Considerations:
* The approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil.
* One must refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws.
* Material cooperation on the level of their application” must be avoided.
* One may even resort to the “right to conscientious objection.
* Where homosexual unions have been legalized, “clear and emphatic opposition is a duty.
2) Laws that Contradict Right Reason Do Not Bind in Conscience
Civil law cannot contradict right reason without losing its binding force on conscience. Every law must be “consistent with the natural moral law recognized by right reason, and insofar as it respects the inalienable rights of every person.
The natural moral law binds all people, in all times. No State is above its precepts. State authorities who enact or enforce same-sex “marriage” laws fail in their duty to uphold the common good. To them can be addressed the words of Saint John the Baptist to King Herod: “It is not lawful for thee.” (Matt. 14:4; Mark 6:18)
3) Catholic Politicians Have a Specific Obligation
If it is true that all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legalization of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians…. The Catholic lawmaker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favor of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral.
Some Catholics elected or appointed to public office have invoked the secular principle of separation of Church and State as an excuse to ignore Catholic morality in their public life. What they are really doing is separating, in their persons, “the Catholic” from “the public official.” This separation violates the unity of being and the premises of moral and logic. Every man shall be judged by God according to his thoughts, words and deeds, and therefore, on the oneness of his personality.
4) Being Faithful to our Baptismal Vow
A Catholic who accepts the practice of homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” as good renounces natural moral law principles confirmed by Divine Revelation and thus breaks the vow of fidelity made to Our Lord Jesus Christ at baptism.
6) Join the Political Fray
Catholics not engaged in political life need to become involved. When freedoms and Christianity itself are at stake, absenteeism is not an option.
For some, this political involvement starts with registering to vote. However, there are numerous other initiatives, not directly linked to voting, that deserve attention, time, and talent.
7) Oppose All Efforts to Legalize Same-Sex “Marriage”
We must oppose all efforts to legalize same-sex “marriage,” in every branch of government: the legislative, judicial and executive. We must promote petitions, write letters to the newspapers, and contact those elected or appointed to public office.
8) Reverse Legalized Same-Sex “Marriage”
In those jurisdictions where same-sex “marriage” has been legalized by the courts or the legislature, or where its recognition has been mandated at the executive level, one must help every lawful effort to reverse this legalization and recognition.
9) Remain Steadfast in Persecution
Where same-sex “marriage” has been legalized, one must make use of the right to conscientious objection and refuse all formal or material cooperation in its application.
If one suffers persecution as a result, one should offer this to God, and fight back by bringing this injustice to the public eye.
10) If We Fight Faithfully to the End, God Will Give us Victory!
In this struggle, we too must fight as if everything depended on us, but rely entirely on God to give us victory. And He will do so, for, in the words of Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira: “When men resolve to cooperate with the grace of God, the marvels of History are worked.”
Oppose the homosexual “Moral Revolution”, even if it means losing everything
In this lawful, faithful and necessary resistance, we must keep in mind the true goals of secularism and the homosexual movement.
Whereas the truth and the good become more attractive the more completely they appear in their nature, methods and ends, error and evil, on the contrary, are able to seduce only to the degree they hide their ultimate goal.
By imposing same-sex “marriage” on society, the homosexual movement and its secularist allies show their true face, and this will diminish their capacity to seduce. Their railroading of same-sex “marriage” on the world makes increasingly clear what homosexual activist Paul Varnell wrote in the Chicago Free Press:
The gay movement, whether we acknowledge it or not, is not a civil rights movement, not even a sexual liberation movement, but a moral revolution aimed at changing people's view of homosexuality.
Conclusion: We Are Battling for the Souls of all Nations. It is clear, therefore, that the battle for marriage is the clash of two worldviews. On the one hand, those who still defend a moral law. On the other, the homosexual revolution and its secularist allies.

That the radical homosexual movement in the western world is a Jewish movement is beyond doubt. Jews created it and run it from top to bottom. They are pushing the perversion and degeneracy that is spreading disease, sin and sickness through the whole world like a wildfire. It is not for nothing that our Lord Jesus Christ told them to their faces that they are of the synagogue of Satan. Visit http://iamthewitness.com/doc/Zionists.spreading.sin.and.sickness.through.America.like.a.wildfire.htm for convincing proof that the radical homosexual movement in the world is a Jewish.
What is not known by most people, however, is that, the homosexual activist movement and organized pedophiles are linked together by a common goal: To gain access to children for seduction into homosexuality.
The research of Mr. Heimbichner, author of Blood on the Altar:The Secret History of the World's Most Dangerous Secret Society, shows that the roots of this spreading cancer of pedophilia, that has even tarnished the Catholic priesthood, actually lie in the Talmud.
Mr. Heimbichner provides examples from the Talmud and Jewish man-made laws of "rabbinical sanctions of child molestation," even against girls younger than three years old. Not surprisingly, "sodomy in the synagogue," says Mr. Heimbichner, "is a well-kept secret." He cites a recent report in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, "that decades of sodomizing of [male Talmud school] students was permitted and covered up by 'the greatest of the ultra-Orthodox rabbis.'"
There is, of course, no outcry in the controlled Western media because it is also owned and controlled by Jews. Meanwhile, our formerly Christian societies have been "transformed" to accept sexual perversity as a human right, and the institutionalization of perverse liaisons as "marriage." It is only a matter of time and further re-education before pedophilia is sanctioned because "Alistair Crowley regarded any separation between homosexuality and pederasty as artificial and absurd and refused to restrict himself." Restriction, he taught, is Sin. Mr. Heimbichner observes, "The 'Sin of Restriction'" is now viewed by influential American educators, journalists and judges precisely as Crowley viewed it."
It is quite obvious today's world is completely youth-oriented. Laws ensure that youth are not disciplined. Education is "child-centered." Fashions, music and entertainment are geared towards the young consumer. Political parties have youth wings, the age of voting is being lowered, and governments and the United Nations seek the input of youth. Even the Catholic Church has got in on the act, preaching Crowley's Law of Thelema - do as you will - to the young. There are youth or children's "Masses," highly corrupted to appeal to them. Youth are encouraged to discuss - criticize - traditional beliefs and practices of the Church. Instead of teaching them to follow the Commandments of God and the Church, they are taught to discover their own values and devise their own spirituality. This Thelemic pandering culminates in the wild extravaganzas called World Youth Days.
According to Chick Publications: "Homosexuals cannot reproduce. They must recruit. And they want our children! That’s why they are getting public officials to require school teachers to present homosexuality as “normal” and acceptable. They know that the next generation will one day be voters, and they will change the laws so that homosexuals can prey on children and not worry about breaking the law!"
Gaining access to children has been a long-term goal of the homosexual movement. In 1972, the National Coalition of Gay Organizations adopted a “Gay Rights Platform” that included the following demand: “Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.” David Thorstad, a spokesman for the homosexual rights movement and NAMBLA, clearly states the objectives: "The ultimate goal of the gay liberation movement is the achievement of sexual freedom for all – not just equal rights for ‘lesbians and gay men,’ but also freedom of sexual expression for young people and children." This disgusting goal has not changed since it was articulated in 1972. And now it is a reality.
Homosexuals have achieved remarkable successes in normalizing homosexual behavior. They have also been successful in fighting “age of consent laws.” In Holland, the age of sexual consent is now 12 unless the preteen complains to the authorities about the sexual encounter.
The Dutch Association for the Integration of Homosexuality (DAIH) takes credit for helping to change the laws in Holland. It lobbied for the abolition of a 1971 law prohibiting sexual contact between those older than 21 and those younger than 21. The laws were amended in 1987 and again in 1991. The current law allows sex between a child and an adult if the parents of the child approve.
Homosexual activists in Holland won another victory in mid-November 1998, when the Dutch cabinet approved a plan to allow homosexuals to in Holland, to adopt children.
When you gain control over the minds of our children, then you have gain control of the agenda that is set for the next generation. And that is exactly what the radical homosexual movement want. The end result is death of all the young souls. This should leave no doubt in the mind of the true christian that the homosexual agenda is from hell.
In USA, president Obama, the man trusted by almost everyone to do the "right thing", has declared war on marriage and, by implication, on all Christianity. However, what is increasingly becoming common knowledge is that, without backing from the Jewish banking cartel, Obama would never have been elected US president. Barack Obama was Lord Jacob Rothschild's choice for US president. The man Rothschild chooses, that man will become President of the United States.
Barack Obama was chosen to become the first leader of a Jewish-ruled New World Order. Abner Mikva, Jew, and also former White House Counsel, Clinton Administration made the following statement in the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 12, 2008):
"Barack Obama will go down in history as America’s first Jewish President."
Texe Marrs, author and Researcher says: "Chosen by hidden superiors, we discover that President Barack Obama is heir to a terrible Master Plan conceived long ago and now being lethally implemented. Barack Obama has become the ultimate instrument in a dark plot..."
Lord Jacob Rothschild and other Rothschilds, all Jews, preside over the planet's greatest banking cartel. Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citibank, and others bow to Rothschild dictates. Politicians in world capitals, Washington, D.C., London, Paris, and Tokyo grovel before their awesome power.
Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLTOjQSkGDQ for more on this.
Obama has not only surrounded himself with, but filled his administration with the whole spectrum of sexual perverts and deviants: homosexuals, pedophiles, pederasts, pornographers, abortionists, and anti-family advocates. This man is truly evil and totally devoid of morals.
Speaking to the nation's leading homosexual rights lobbying group, the Human Rights Campaign, Obama said:
You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.
I support ensuring that committed gay couples have the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple in this country. I believe strongly in stopping laws designed to take rights away and passing laws that extend equal rights to gay couples. I've required all agencies in the federal government to extend as many federal benefits as possible to LCBT families as the current law allows. And I've called on Congress to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and to pass the Domestic Partners Benefits and Obligations Act. And we must all stand together against divisive and deceptive efforts to feed people's lingering fears for political and ideological gain.
With characteristically demonic pride and arrogance this evil man openly vows to tear down and change a divinely ordained institution, no doubt at the behest of his Jewish masters.
The question is now whether or not the true followers of Christ are going to respond vigorously and loudly to Obama's direct challenge to one of Christianity's non-negotiable teachings.
How can those who claim to follow Christ remain silent while Lucifer, through his tool Barack Obama, violates and tramples the Rights of God ? Yet, sadly, this is what we see today; people who are only "christian" in name but cowards in practice, because they stand to lose something if they dare raise their voices in opposition.
Marriage between one man and one woman is a divinely instituted arrangement which no man dare alter or dissolve. Trying to change this is akin to saying that God erred in ordaining marriage between man and woman.
Homosexuality is the ultimate act of rebellion against Almighty God. With nation after nation legalizing this very abomination for which God destroyed five cities, no Christian in their right mind can deny that the mystery of iniquity is truly at work in the world today. We now find ourselves in the midst of a situation not unlike that primeval revolt by the bad angels which took place in the heavens. Have we not been told that mankind, too, would be subject to the same probationary trials as the angels. So that those who freely submit themselves to the Divine decrees and precepts and persevere right up to the end, shall be rewarded with the beatific vision. And that those who rebel shall be cast away to join the fallen angels in that place of eternal miseries and torments.
It is time, therefore, to stand up and be counted because we have been told in the Gospels that few will make it to Heaven. Who are those few, if not those who stand up to defend the Rights of God and the social Kingship of His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please join me in saying:
We refuse to bow down to the will of the homosexual movement, and we utterly reject its Luciferian agenda. We are resolved to, and shall actively combat the evils of sodomy and the demonic agenda of sodomites, wherever and whenever we encounter them, even if it means losing our means of livelihood or our lives. May our Lord, His Loving Mother, all the Angels and Saints assist us in his battle.

Moral Obligation To Oppose The Homosexual Movement
