Title: Catholics Not Wanted
Post by: poche on December 21, 2013, 03:27:23 AM
Legatus, a faithful Catholic organization of Chief Executives, was founded by former Domino's Pizza CEO, Thomas Monaghan. Membership is only available to top level executives who are faithful Catholics.

The official publication of the group, Legatus magazine, in their November 1, 2012, listed five "non-negotiables" for voters. Supporting the redefinition of marriage to include ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ or lesbian couples was one of the five listed items. The article asked Catholics to inform their voting by the truth as clearly taught by the natural moral Law on the nature of marriage, the dignity of all human life and other key Social Doctrines of the catholic Church and to vot" for those who promote policies in keeping with moral law."

A lifelong Catholic, actor Bob Newhart has a history of working with ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ people and story lines which include ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and lesbian matters. One example is that "The Bob Newhart Show" featured an episode in 1976 with an openly gαy character.Newhart also was in the film "In & Out," in which he played a principal dealing with the coming out (openly declaring himself to be ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ) of one of his teachers, played by Kevin Kline. Most recently, Newhart won an Emmy Award for his guest appearances on "Big Bang Theory," opposite of openly gαy actor, Jim Parsons.

The Catholic Church respects all men and women, including those who have same sex attraction or even self identify as ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ or lesbian. However, the Catholic Church also makes clear that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activity is morally disordered and that all sɛҳuąƖ activity outside of marriage is immoral. Newhart certainly knows the teaching of his own church. He was pressured by ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activists to withdraw from the speaking engagement.

Two petitions from ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activist groups which seek to compel the State and Federal Government to require all Americans to recognize a moral and legal equivalency between ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and lesbian relationships and marriage or face the police power of the State, asked Newhart to reconsider his speaking engagement with Legatus. One, created by Faithful America, received 17,000 signatures calling on Newhart to cancel his Legatus commitment.  

"Newhart is merely siding with the majority of fair-minded Americans who do not support the anti-LGBT agenda of organizations like Legatus," said Rich Ferraro, Vice President of Communications at GLAAD. "These groups constantly struggle to find high-profile people of faith to speak at their events, but at a time when more and more people of faith are accepting of LGBT people, they will continue to be left to choose between increasingly fringe figures."

Of course, GLAAD is one of the largest promoters of the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ equivalency agenda and openly opposes the Catholic Church in its unchangeable teaching on the immorality of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ practice.

Legatus is a Catholic organization which embraces the teaching of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. It is clear in its own self identification on its website: " In the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Church and His Vicar on earth, Legatus is an international organization of practicing Catholic laymen and laywomen, comprised of CEOs, Presidents, Managing Partners and Business Owners, with their spouses, from the business community and professional enterprises. They state that their mission is "to study, live and spread the Catholic faith in our business, professional and personal lives."

The position of the Catholic Church on the nature of marriage as only possible between one man and one women, intended for life and formative of family, is crystal clear. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church explained in 2003.

"The Church's teaching on marriage and on the complementarity of the sexes reiterates a truth that is evident to right reason and recognized as such by all the major cultures of the world. Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose."

"No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman, who by mutual personal gift, proper and exclusive to themselves, tend toward the communion of their persons. In this way, they mutually perfect each other, in order to cooperate with God in the procreation and upbringing of new human lives."

This latest pressure asserted against Bob Newhart is a part of a growing pressure being placed on people to accept the position asserted by a small activist segment of the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ community or face the consequences. That approach is a growing threat to authentic freedom.

Well considering they are following the failed V2 church it does not surprise me.  Newhart, Monaghan, et al are NOT truly Catholic, they have just expropriated the title to themselves.

The public keeps being told that the majority is militantly more and more in favor of GLBT views.

This can be argued to be false. The fact is that in Califronia's Prop. 8 election less than 2% of the people who voted stated they were even gαy and the law was voted in making gαy 'marriage" illegal until a gαy judge over turned it.

If less than 2% of those voting were even gαy, then GLAADs Ferraro needs to face the reality and admit the  majority of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs just want to be left alone by the small minority of fringie militant gαys and their friends. They are not interested in religion, public acceptance, the hysterical gαys or their liberal friends. Seriously, I don't even know any gαy people who are married and gαys I do know just want to be left alone.
