Remember, before watching this, that Pope Francis has said that t he gender identity movement is demonic:

I’m Gay, And I Oppose Same-Sex Marriage I want nothing in this world more than to be a father. Yet I can’t bring myself to celebrate same-sex marriage. By  Paul Rosnick APRIL  28, 2015 Gay marriage has gone from unthinkable to reality in the blink of an eye. A recent  Washington Post /ABC News poll shows that support for gay marriage is now at 61 percent—the highest it’s ever been. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case that many court-watchers believe will deliver the final blow to those seeking to prevent the redefinition of marriage. By all measures, this fight is over. Gay marriage won. As a 30-year-old gay man, one would expect me to be ecstatic. After all, I’m at that age where people tend to settle down and get married. And there is nothing in this world I want mor...

Today in Catholic circles one would be forgiven if one equated Catholicism with nothing more than the concept and rhetoric of “social justice.” This `unfortunate reality takes place because the phrase social “justice” is not used as the traditional vocabulary suggests, as a virtue present in individuals, but as a matter of policy. Misunderstood as such, social justice is reduced to whatever progressive policy one finds desirable. This disengages the dialog about social justice from a moral framework of virtue, and makes it prone to exploitation by any special interest group vocal enough to demand assistance from the public treasury. As I recount in my book, around the time of the Second Vatican Council, there was the rhetoric of “letting a breath of fresh air into the Church,” opening her to a more understanding relationship with modernity. Many Catholics, it turned out, were unable to escape the effects of the confusion and waves of social revolution and antinomianism that hi...

“I spent much of my life steeped in power analysis theory and taking a look at serving groups who were marginalized within any hegemonic group,” Michael Way Skinner, the York Catholic District School Board’s coordinator of Religious Education, Family Life and Equity, told about 30 teachers attending his workshop, half of them identifying as Catholic. “So, I was quite comfortable taking on how we could serve our LGBTQ students in our schools.” Skinner’s workshop, titled “Implementing LGBTTQQ Supports Under the Catholic School Board,” revealed how the process worked to make his board explicitly pro-LGBTQ.

It comes as no surprise to the thinking Catholic that since the onset of the sexual revolution we have had to face an ever-increasing array of sexual problems. One has only to think of the tremendous increase in the number of illegitimate births and abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, opposition to censorship of pornography (especially on the Internet), and the resulting sexual addiction (in some extreme instances resulting in murder). Consider too the tremendous blows to marriage and the family done by adultery, the battle over the homosexual lifestyle in the United States, Canada and Europe (now to the point of the redefinition of marriage under the law); the increasing incidences of sexual harassment, child pornography on the Internet, Internet predators, the collegiate "rape culture", and of course, the divorce rate. Read the following and weep (or pray): Online harassment of women at risk of becoming 'established norm', study finds Australian re...

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.                         -Colossians 3:1-5   One hears often that the “liberation” of the human libido began in earnest in the United States in the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s. Americans, troubled over repressive attitudes toward human sexuality, hoped for a revolution that would free them from outdated moral and social constraints. It resulted not in liberation but in license and a host of socie...

Various opinions ranging from orthodox-minded giving both their approval and dissent on  Pope Francis' latest exhortation on Family Life, "Amoris Laetitia" (Joy of Love). The same goes for heterodox-minded likewise expressing both their approval and dissent on the document: Samples so far: Defenders: a. orthodox edition--Amoris Laetitia is great or at least good. Pope upholds tradition. Marriage between a man and a woman. Mutual, e xclusive, permanent, indissoluble union. Open to children. No gay marriage. No contraception. No abortion. Says nothing new, really, on pastoral level, though he's emphasizing mercy. Isn't that what Jesus is about? "Conscience" cases handled pastorally, according to the teaching of the Church. Inspiring vision for young people of what marriage and family are all about. Just as Jesus taught. b. liberal/dissenting edition--Amoris Laetitia is great. The Pope is moving us forward to a reform of doctrine. The Church is...

In the fall of 2014, a graduate student instructor of a philosophy course , Cheryl Abbate told a student at Marquette University, which claims to continue “the tradition of Catholic, Jesuit education” who secretly recorded the exchange, that his defense of man-woman marriage was an unacceptable topic in her ethics class and compared his views to racism. Abate said, "You can have whatever opinions you want but I can tell you right now , in this class homophobic comments, racist comments, and sexist comments will not be tolerated." And then she told the student he should drop the class. Now, for Marquette to be truly Catholic, a defense of a Cathodic understanding of marriage must not only be tolerated, but promulgated. Marquette Professor McAdams blogged on the incident and charged the teaching assistant with "using a tactic typical among liberals now. Opinions with which they disagree are not merely wrong, and are not to be argued against on their merit...
