The circumstances of Iowa's decision was particularly controversial, as it resulted from an activist court ruling instigated by homosexual activists, who openly admitted that the decision was the fruit of years of researching sympathetic state Supreme Courts. (see coverage) <br /><br />True marriage supporters also fear that instability in New York's legislature may lead to a hastened vote on that state's proposed same-sex "marriage" legislation. <br /><br />Scheenburger also suggested that the poll results could indicate Americans are turning to alternative media to learn about same-sex "marriage." <br /><br />"In reporting the results of its own poll, CBS used the word 'dip' to describe the 9 percent plunge in support for gay marriage," Schneeberger said. "In elections, it's considered a landslide when a candidate wins by 10 points. So to describe this as a 'dip' pretty clearly illustrates where CBS, at least, stands on this issue."Ellen Wironkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037753678014941848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-83616744105447546282009-06-17T07:02:24.514-07:002009-06-17T07:02:24.514-07:00Ann, the CDF has taught clearly that "Those w...Ann, the CDF has taught clearly that "Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil." Renee's call for laws which recognize "differing relationships" is very troubling. There is no doubt about that fact.<br /><br />I think it's odd that Renee was so quick to pounce on Paul for a remark he didn't make (it was mine and I stand by it) but, as you correctly note, seemingly has nothing to say about Mr. Hosty's comments. Does Renee share the view that she alone is "sane" and those of us who stand with the CDF are somehow mentally damaged? Does Renee view us as "bigots" because we sand with the Magisterium? <br /><br />I really am most curious myself as to why Renee would call for some sort of legal recognition of same-sex arrangements when the CDF warns against it. Equally curous as to why she has nothing to say regarding Mr. Hosty's accusations.Marie Tremblaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-41893810038793265802009-06-17T06:01:02.861-07:002009-06-17T06:01:02.861-07:00At the Defend the Faith Blog, homosexual activist ...At the Defend the Faith Blog, homosexual activist John Hosty of Salem, Massachusetts, who has described those of us who are actually faithful to the Church's teaching on homosexuality and same-sex "marriage" as "radicals," had this to say about Renee (who wants, and has called for, legal recognition of "differing types of relationships"): "The only sane person that blogs here is Renee. She knows enough to give people the opportunity to change and grow towards the light instead of embracing fear and the darkness that surrounds hate." In other words, because John Hosty views Renee as affirming him in his sin, she's the "only sane person" who blogs at Defend the Faith.<br /><br />Hosty adds: "People who can't handle the idea that gay people can be good and worthy of God forced me out of the church with their hate, much like people here hate when I post. I chose to leave the organized church in order to follow Christ on a more private path. That path in no way leads away from His teachings, I still embrace love and peace, I simply cannot be a part of the hypocrisy of the Holy See."<br /><br />There you have it. This lost soul deserted the Mystical Body of Christ because it wouldn't approve of his sin or affirm him in his immoral "lifestyle."<br /><br />Any serious and faithful Catholic who refuses to condone Mr. Hosty's gravely sinful "lifestyle" will be labelled as "hateful," "bigoted," or "insane" by Mr. Hosty. And while a hateful comment directed at Mr. Hosty a couple of years ago was immediately rejected by Renee (a Catholic (?) blogger) she is mysteriously silent when faithful Catholics are frequently insulted by Mr. Hosty, whose comments remain at the Blog while the comment which had been directed against Mr. Hosty was deleted immediately.<br /><br />One has to wonder what is going on at DTF.Ann Duclosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-12870666714748628372009-06-17T05:33:13.921-07:002009-06-17T05:33:13.921-07:00Homosexuals, lesbians and transsexuals are often a...Homosexuals, lesbians and transsexuals are often afflicted by evil spirits. Gender confusion is often a sign of demonic possession. Fr. Malachi Martin recounts the story of a possessed transsexual in his bestselling book "Hostage to the Devil." In the chapted titled "The Virgin and the Girl-Fixer," he writes, "At one moment, Father Gerald, the exorcist, was bending over the possessed, Richard/Rita, who had sunk his teeth into his own instep. In the enxt instant, the glaze in Richard/Rita's eyes broke, melting into a lurid gleam of mockery. Greenish. The teeth loosened their grip on the instep. The mouth opened, baring gums and throat, the tongue protruded, quivering on a stream of gray foam bubbles. The whole face was furrowed in irregular lines, as Richard/Rita broke into peals of laughter. Great buffeting gusts of mocking, jeering, Schadenfreude laughter. Laugter pouring from a belly of amused scorn and contemptuous hate."<br /><br />Homosexuality and lesbianism have nothing to do with authentic conjugal love. I agree with Dr. Aardweg, "homosexual love" is impossible. Homosexuality and lesbianism are forms of psychopathology which are often the result of demonic possession, infestation or obsession.Michael Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489929697997071892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-47568984125139300732009-06-16T19:08:56.230-07:002009-06-16T19:08:56.230-07:00Conjugal love requires psychological and physical ...Conjugal love requires psychological and physical complementarity which can only exist between opposite sexes.

But it's not love they are advancing, it is lust. Speaking about conjugal love, the Catechism says that, "Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute and unfailing love with which God loves man...God blessed them, and God said to them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.'" (1604).<br /><br />And 1605: "Holy Scripture affirms that man and woman were created for one another...The woman, 'flesh of his flesh,' his equal, his nearest in all things, is given to him by God as a 'helpmate'; she thus represents God from whom comes our help.."John Ansleynoreply@blogger.com
