Fired For Defending Marriage
Canada
Canadian TV sports announcer Damian Goddard was fired from his position as a freelance announcer on Rogers Sportsnet. The reason: Goddard had send a message from his personal Twitter account backing another sports figure’s support for marriage. Now, Goddard is going to file a complaint with Canada’s human rights commission against his former employer on free speech and religious freedom grounds. His lawyer said: “Unless it is challenged, this 'termination after a tweet' threatens to set a dangerous precedent for all Canadians in this still-evolving world of social media”.

Doina,

Common courtesy and common sense are not so common these days. It is especially troubling when it is Catholics who are guilty of non socially acceptable behavior. The proper way to make a criticism of the way you dress would have been back-channel via private communication to you. But, this insensitive individual has decided that you were deserving of public humiliation. It is for that reason, I will make my rebuttal public as well.

This day, just as you do every day when presenting the news, you look lovely. You are smartly dressed, properly accessorized and your makeup has been applied tastefully. The fact that someone would find fault in the professional, Catholic manner in which you present yourself, is more of a testimony about the narrow minded mentality, devoid of any fashion sense, Victorian individual complaining than it is about you.

Your poised demeanor and your professional manner of dress ought to evoke feelings of respect and admiration in any “normal” viewer. Thoughts of lust do not apply unless that wicked vice is already deep within the viewer's heart.

The creator made me a man. However, if I were a woman and if I were to have received such a negative comment made to me in public, I would not hesitate to tell that commenter to stick his complaint where the sun doesn't shine. However, unlike me, I know you are a Catholic woman of class and patience and so I know you will handle this situation with grace.

Thank you for doing what you do here at Gloria.tv and for doing it with few material rewards other than the satisfaction that comes from knowing you are doing God's work.

Buon Giorno, Doina.

My very patriotic Polish boyfriend was talking to me about this priest and his comments the other day, and he's very proud of the priest for standing against PO and the government. We are both proud that the Vatican has thus far refused to censure the Ks. Rydzyk.

As to the points you made:

i. An easy mistake off the cuff. I know many Catholics here who refer to their Polish fatherland as 'án uncivilized, KGB-ridden country.' They only do it in moments of frustration with the stucture of the nation, not because they lack love for it. If pressed to elaborate on the statement, I'm sure they would qualify certain adjectives.

ii. Oh, come now! Don't you think that's quibbling?

iii. Hmm, as much as I love Radio Maryja, I do think it has thrown its support behind PiS. I grant that that party is the best to stand against the tide of modernism, but it is far from perfect.

iv. 'Totalitarian' regime, well that word may be strong, but only under such a harsh rule as that could politicians be labelled 'traitors' by the media and other politicos merely for wanting to know how their president and the entire right-wing elite died in a mysterious plane crash. Seems rather totalitarian to me.

2. He heads a media empire
Radio Mary and TV TRWAM are much smaller than the post-communist Polish Polsat and TVN. The word empire is a manipulation.

3. supporter of the opposition in the country
Father Rydzyk and Radio Maryja support only the Truth and Holly Father.
The opposition party defend the church in Poland. Should they appollogize now?

Gloria please be exactly in your work and do not support the enemies of church in Poland and Europe.

PS a "totalitarian" regime.

Michael Coren on being fired over a Tweet

I love it when a liberal gets destroyed with logic especially when it's at the hands of a Christian (Canadian Michael Coren of CTS, Faith Matters). The lib on this program (a supporter of homosexual “marriage”) is too thick-skilled to even realize it.

Only on a Christian station could such a discussion be held without the Christian supporter of traditional marriage being called a bigot, homophobe, intolerant and hateful although the liberal attempted to use this tactic even here. In addition, on a secular station, the panel would have been stacked with several loud rabid liberals from the homo-promo crowd and Michael Coren would have been attacked by all of them at once. His cogent points effectively would then have been drowned out. On this occasion, although there is nothing new in what he says, by controlling the format, by being well prepared, and by being a poised debater Coren was able to artfully put down the name calling and the homosexual “marriage”arguments from the outclassed liberal on his show.

He sounds like a Brit which, of course, lessens my opinion of him slightly. Nevertheless, he has skills.

😀 😀 😀

Thanks Doina. I took Cannoli's links to their logical conclusion; and yes, I knew it had to be a 'same-sex' issue, but that was not explicit - there just might have been others who were unclear about it. So thanks again for your clarification. 😇 🤗

What "other" kinds of marriage do you know?

"Marriage"is only between a man and a woman. The rest of unions can be called whatever, but not a “marriage”.

But your critique is fair, dear ACLumsdem. When reporting an information one should be clearer and not presume that there are universal premises that are self-evident for everybody. 👌 🤗 Thank You.

@Cannoli, thanks for clarifications. 😉

Another day, Our Blessed Lord Himself asked St Peter in order to go to Earth in person, to have some holidays in the fair country of Moldova, a country He have never visited.
The day after, Saint Peter met the Blessed Virgin Mary, and asked "O Mary conceived without sin, your Holy husband and Blessed Son are on Earth for some holidays, would you like to go there too? I can drive you to Bethleem, if you want to see again what the town has become..." But Mary answered: "Dear Saint Peter, I'd prefer to go to Medjugorje, in spite of all that Cardinal Schönborn said, I've never been there, but heard that the place is pleasant, and so I'd like to visit this little town of Bosnia..."

@Doina - Regarding Mr Damian Goddard:
You did not qualify the word "marriage" with respect the Damian Goddard issue. Is Mr. Goddard's support of same-sex marriage the issue (that got him sacked)? Anything less than this would render this news item quite ridiculous indeed. At the moment, it makes no sense whatsoever. Could you clarify this please?

The Tablet Pictures Women as Passive Victims

Internet

Annie Mackie-Savage the Latin Mass Society Representative wrote:
“Before you reject these traditions as ‘insulting’ you should reflect on the fact that they formed the basis of the liturgical life of women, as well as men, for countless centuries. Is it not more insulting to women to picture us as helpless and passive oppressed victims of a misogynistic Church for nineteen centuries? Give us a little more credit than that.”

A woman with common sense, intelligence and humility? I'm pleasantly surprised.
