SboC - Indeed dear friend! I sometimes sit back and cogitate upon the following:

We little nothings on this planet go heither and thither, to and fro, with such vehemence as to what God would want, what God does not want; what he Likes, and dislikes; who is pleasing unto God and who is displeasing unto God.... In all of this busy fray and hurly-burly, do we STOP to ponder? Are we more concerned with ourselves rather than the other? And God stands by looking on at we little nothings - yet the … [Más]

HI ACL!
You're right ... King Juan Carlos of Spain was pressured by that crypto-Communist Zapatero to sign all sorts of laws that are against Catholic teaching [though I am impressed that the King insisted on meeting the Pope at every opportunity in Spain during WYD despite an accident that would have made walking considerably painful] ... but remember the saintly King Baudouin of the Belgians? He abdicated for a day rather than sign an abortion law. OK, the law was still passed ... but at … [Más]

SboC - Hooray!!! I did see it and am rather pleased indeed! However, I must add that Lietchtenstein is a small Kingdom wherein European politics does not impinge upon their existence too much. Therefore, were it the opposite, would the Prince have said this? The Spanish Crown is NOT this overt in His catholicism because of the politics (poli-tricks) of the EU.... Therefore, even though the Prince said that he would NOT sign it, I still think that if he were so pressured, he would.

Yes, ACL, THAT is a point ... protecting children from having to witness inappropriate sexual display in a PUBLIC space. I think that parents should have the right to remonstrate with overly "passionate" couples [of whatever persuasion] and politely ask them to desist.
Changing the topic just a little, but staying on the theme that "Catholic Orthodoxy is NOT Bigotry", ACL, did you see the wonderful news about tiny Lietchtenstein showing the rest of Europe the way? A referendum to legalise … [Más]

SboC - Indeed. However, if they reject the convertion attempt, what is one to do? I think one ought to just move on, even go to another park. On the other hand, one could object by saying that one ought never to allow devience to chase one from ones own territory (in this case the community park). This raises a point wherein one needs to insist that public displays of affection between gays AND hetros must be forboden. In this way one has full control over what ones children see and experience. [Más]

What would Christ do?

He would tell them to "go, and sin no more."

Just try saying that to a militant sodomite or their advocates.

@ ACL,
Yes ... I think about what Christ would do ... and what He would want to do through us ...
The words He spoke are pretty strong ... "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Isn't the Church all about condemning the sin but converting the sinner?
Christus vincit Christus regnat Christus imperat
Viva il Papa!

Gosh..... However, to play devil's advocate here: are we to go up to these homosexual chaps and vehemently deride and condemn them in public? I rather think this is what the Muslims would do (nay! they would just shoot them - according to their law!); but we are Christian, therefore, are we to try and use an approach which aims to sow a seed of conversion? I quite think so. Therefore, why should a Christian get so angry as to blogg about the presence of gay couples in her park? What is she … [Más]
