Homosexual Protesters Swarm Chicago Cathedral, Police Do Nothing

by Kathleen Gilbert

CHICAGO, February 25, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The city of Chicago ordered its police force not to enforce the law against a mob of homosexualist activists who disrupted Mass at the Holy Name Cathedral to protest “anti-gay bigots” who support the Church’s teaching on marriage.

The Gay Liberation Network staged the rally on the eve of Valentine’s Day, shouting and chanting loudly as churchgoers entered to celebrate Sunday Mass. The demonstration’s primary target was Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, who has spoken out in defense of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. Protesters had staged a similar disruption around the same time last year.

In response to the protest, George, who was not present at the cathedral, acknowledged that the issue is deeply emotional on both sides but, “No matter the issue, Catholics should be able to worship in peace, without fear of harassment.”

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) released a video of the protest showing rainbow flag-waving protesters shouting and holding signs stating, “It’s time to stop being nice to anti-gay bigots.” “The Catholic leadership has ranged itself against equal rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community for too long!” declared one homosexualist protester. Others called for an end to government cooperation with the Church’s charitable activities on the basis of its “bigoted” views.

Churchgoers withstood the angry protest passively. One said that the pastor present for the Mass “was almost attacked and was called a bigot.” The Chicago Tribune reported that there was a small counter-protest defending traditional marriage and Cardinal George.

While it was illegal for the protesters to disrupt a religious service, the Chicago City Council announced that police would not enforce the law in this instance - a move that NOM castigated.

“It’s outrageous that the city of Chicago stepped in and basically told police not to enforce a law for this one occasion,” said NOM president Brian Brown.

“Gay Liberation Network is not above the law. If the city believed the ordinance was unconstitutional they should either repeal it for everyone, or go to court to get a determination. What happened instead was indefensible: stripping Catholics of their legal right to attend religious services peacefully.”

“We don’t know yet if this signals a new phase in the gay marriage movement: organized protests at churches nationwide.”

Jeff Field, a spokesman for the Catholic League, told LifeSiteNews.com that the city council’s refusal to protect the Catholic worshippers was “disappointing to say the least.”

“Everybody has a right to practice their religion. For the city council to deny that right for Catholics is disappointing,” said Field, who pointed out that Muslims and Orthodox Jews shared a religious dedication to traditional marriage. “You wonder if they would allow protests in front of a mosque or a synagogue during their religious services,” he said.

Protest Catholic College to Host Same-sex "Marriage" Activists

Canisius College – a Jesuit institution – has invited an open homosexual activist, Dustin Lance Black, to talk about “Leadership for Equal Rights: GLBT Equality.” According to the college’s web site, the lecture is scheduled on March 10 as part of a Leadership Series program.

Not only is Black an homosexual activist and screenwriter for the movie “Milk,” but he is also a board member of the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), which sponsored a federal court challenge to overturn Prop. 8 – the 2008 amendment that defends traditional marriage in California.

In a 2010 interview published in MetroWeekly, Black says:

“…we can’t let them do what they did in Proposition 8… in 10 years the majority of the country will overwhelmingly want to vote in favor of gay marriage, and that will be because we’ve changed all of the folks in America… It’s like Paris

Here’s a screen shot from the college’s web site promoting the lecture.

Barclay said, ‘It’s gonna have to come through things like films, television, books and most importantly, people telling their personal stories to their neighbors and co-workers and families.’ That will have to happen culturally.”

“Why is someone with a clear anti-family agenda invited to address Catholic students at a Catholic college?” questioned TFP Student Action Director John Ritchie.

“Our culture is in dire need of moral role models, leaders with moral courage who will stand up against the lies of same-sex ‘marriage’ and the culture of death,” he said. “God’s marriage is non-negotiable. And I’m hoping Canisius stops this scandal.”

TFP Student Action is asking its members to sign a protest petition, urging Fr. Vincent M. Cooke to cancel the anti-family lecture.

Catholic Marquette University Hires Senator with Pro-Abortion Record

Despite his 100% pro-abortion record from NARAL, the former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold was invited to join the faculty of Marquette University, a Catholic institution, as a visiting professor of law. The event is understandably causing scandal.

According to the record, Senator Feingold not only supported the grisly procedure known as partial-birth abortion but also favors same-sex “marriage” and embryonic stem cell destruction.

However, Marquette Law School Dean Joseph D. Kearney attempts to explain the appointment away: “While I do not doubt that some of his views are controversial, or, still less, suggest that all of them are right, an institution of legal education is especially well suited to explore multiple dimensions of such issues.”

Students naturally look up to their teachers and teachers who support the killing of innocent unborn children – as is the case here–are inappropriate educational role models in any school, not to mention a Catholic university.

Feingold’s appointment seems to brush aside the words of Pope Benedict XVI to Catholic educators delivered at the Catholic University of America in 2008:

“Teachers and administrators, whether in universities or schools, have the duty and privilege to ensure that students receive instruction in Catholic doctrine and practice. This requires that public witness to the way of Christ, as found in the Gospel and upheld by the Church’s Magisterium, shapes all aspects of an institution’s life, both inside and outside the classroom.”

Just When You Thought You Heard Everything - Personhood for Animals

Radical equality has reached an unimaginable level. The Institute for Emerging Ethics and Technologies have decided to start an advocacy project intended to raise what we use to call the “higher mammals” (and parrots) to legal personhood, thereby granting them "human" rights equal to our own.

Here is the IEET announcement:

Owing to advances in several fields, including the neurosciences, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the human species no longer can ignore the rights of non-human persons.

A number of non-human animals, including the great apes, cetaceans (i.e. dolphins and whales), elephants, and parrots, exhibit characteristics and tendencies consistent with that of a person—traits like self-awareness, intentionality, creativity, symbolic communication, and many others.

It is a moral and legal imperative that we now extend the protection of ‘human rights’ from our species to all beings with those characteristics.

The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, as a promoter of non-anthropocentric personhood ethics, defends the rights of non-human persons to live in liberty, free from undue confinement, slavery, torture, experimentation, and the threat of unnatural death.

Further, the IEET defends the right of non-human persons to live freely in their natural habitats, and when that’s not possible, to be given the best quality of life and welfare possible in captivity (such as sanctuaries).

When Are Babies Subhuman?

A well-known Brazilian pro-abortion activist and anthropologist Debora Diniz (photo) once wrote an article defending “selective pregnancy interruption (SPI)” that is, the murdering of babies with grave physical deficiencies. Her article gives the sinister reasons behind the struggle to de-criminalize this type of abortion.¹

In a pedantic text in Brazilian Portuguese, Diniz states:

“First of all, anencephaly maintains its dominance among pathological conditions for its extreme clinical nature: the absence of the brain’s hemispheres. But in my view, this is not the one sufficient reason to turn anencephalic fetuses into metaphors of the movement to legitimize selective abortion.”

Why? Because the so-called “selective abortion” is intended not only for anencephalic babies but for all those who abortionists define as subhuman. Diniz continues:

“The absence of the brain’s hemispheres, or in common language the ‘absence of a brain’ makes the anencephalic fetus a representation of the subhuman par excellence.”

By inferring that the anencephalic baby is subhuman “par excellence,” it is clear that there are presumably other “not so excellent” forms of “subhumanity.” Who are these subhumans? The noted activist explains:

“Subhumans are those who, according to the dictionary, are below the human level. Or, as Jacquard prefers, they are those inept to share ‘humaneness,’ the culture of human beings. Thus, anencephalic fetuses are some among the subhumans—those who failed to attain the minimum level of biological development required to enter humaneness…”

To make her point, Debora Diniz quotes the opinion of a noted progressivist priest:

“Fernando Altemeyer Junior, auxiliary pastor for Communications at the Archdiocese of São Paulo, in an article published in Jornal do Brasil on April 1, 1996, which said this about selective abortion in cases of anencephaly: ‘...Many renowned Catholic moralists have taken a stand in favor of this surgery in the specific case of anencephaly, for the fruits of this pregnancy are not human and therefore one cannot require the mother to accept the sacrifice of a pregnancy unable to give human life to a child destined to survive…’”

The anthropologist continues:

“Subhumans are those whose lives are bound to ‘fail’—as Dworkin, a liberal American jurist who studies abortion, explains—or those for whom, to say the least, the concept of life is inadequate. Subhumans are extreme human otherness, those not expected by the miracle of procreation.”

Even the handicapped would not escape “selective abortion”:

“... There is much greater life expectancy and that is precisely what unites an anencephalic fetus to one carrying a trisomy of chromosome twenty-one [Down Syndrome] and even fetuses lacking distal limbs as potential targets of SPI [selective pregnancy interruption]. It is a social idea of life backed, of course, by biological fullness, which justifies most requests for selective abortion.”

On reading such statements, how can one not think of eugenics—favored and “justified” during the Nazi dictatorship, though still not presently mandatory?

As society increasingly loses its Christian roots to a wave of paganization, there are all sorts of ideas that clash with the lofty virtues of justice and charity toward our deficient neighbors and we are gradually nudged toward a pseudo-scientific and Darwinist dictatorship in which only those whom the State deems “perfect” will have a right to life.

TFP to CPAC: Don't Betray Principles!

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has long been the premier event of the conservative movement. It has served to unite conservatives focused on major issues and causes by standing firm on core principles that define the movement and guarantee its success.

This year, however, this unity has been threatened. Many of the most active and important participants in this conference have decided not to come because of the continued participation of the homosexual activist organization GOProud as a sponsor and planner of the event.

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) joins with these organizations in protest against this departure from principle. In the name of countless conservative youth on American campuses, TFP Student Action members have decided to stay at CPAC so that we might present these considerations.

Creating Artificial Divisions
Indeed, the GOProud controversy only brings disadvantages to the conservative cause. The liberal media have been quick to exploit the controversy by trying to turn it into a civil war, major schism or deep fissure inside the conservative movement.

The reality is, of course, very different. GOProud is hardly a major player in the conservative movement. Contrary to so many of the organizations who have long attended CPAC, the two-year-old GOProud group has no projection among conservatives, negligible membership and a demographically insignificant voter base.¹

In fact, the group’s only notoriety seems to be its capacity to create artificial controversy and be the cause of great frustration and distress among the massive ranks of social conservatives who have delivered electoral victory after victory to the conservative cause over the past three decades.

All Conservatives Must Unite Around Principles
However, the worst effect of this controversy is not the appearance of disunity. It is the illusion that we can disassociate sound fiscal policy from a morally grounded society.

While we recognize the right of all conservatives to concentrate on those fields of action that they feel called to defend, we strongly disagree with those who would exclude moral issues from the conservative core values.

If we do this, we betray our heritage and principles since it is a moral America that has been the mainstay of our movement and the foundation of our nation. From its birth, America has always defended a higher moral law so well expressed by the Ten Commandments. We abandon this at our peril.

Making the Links
If we compromise on moral values we not only betray our principles, but we put ourselves on the road of adopting the very socialist ideas that we have so effectively opposed.

Socialism is a utopian ideology that seeks to eliminate human selfishness by destroying individual freedom, the family, private property and free enterprise. Socialists believe they can eliminate injustice by transferring responsibilities from individuals and families to the State. However, their efforts are tantamount to killing the patient to cure his illness.

By suppressing individual responsibility, socialism destroys the foundation for all morality. Thus, for socialism there are no absolute truths or objective morals that establish standards of conduct that apply to everyone, everywhere, and always. Everything evolves, including right and wrong, good and evil. There is no place for the Ten Commandments, neither in the private mind nor in the public square.

Whether favored by liberals or conservatives, a free love agenda which includes homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” is completely consistent with socialist thought since it deprives sexual acts of their consequences and natural end. Indeed, wherever socialists have taken power, they have always pushed ahead legislation to promote the homosexual lifestyle and same sex “marriage.” By its own principles, socialism will always lead to a morally-depraved and fiscally irresponsible society. Likewise such a society will always end up in socialism.

Call to Save Our Future
By including those who reject an objective moral law into our conservative union, we work against ourselves since we invite into our ranks those whose lack of principles will destroy the very principles for which we fight.

As young Americans, TFP Student Action members call upon CPAC participants to help save the future of our conservative movement by insisting that these departures from objective moral law stop. We must stand firm in face of the overwhelming pressure of liberal media to force a homosexual agenda upon us. We must not waver in face of a public opinion that seeks to silence us on campus, in the public square and even inside our own movement.

We must not make the mistake of looking to please man but rather to please God in our decisions. Indeed, there are those who think that by being “inclusive” or “politically correct” we might gain public sympathy. These win neither the approval of the left nor the support of the right but rather the scorn of all since no one respects those who abandon their principles and let fall their standards.

As Catholics, we call upon God and Our Lady to assist us in standing firm. Against all expectation, the conservative movement has progressed much over the decades. With the blessings of God, we can hope for yet more victories.

Good News: Madonna University Cancels Planned Parenthood Speaker

Planned Parenthood speaker was nixed at Madonna.

Why would any Catholic university bring a Planned Parenthood speaker to campus?

Well, that's what students at Catholic Madonna University were wondering when the sign-language studies department at Madonna University, a Catholic institution, invited pro-abortion speaker Christine Gannon to teach a workshop on sexual issues.

Thank God, however, the event was canceled after good pro-life students on campus and TFP Student Action spoke up. The online brochure announcing the February 26 event was also removed.

Madonna University president, Sister Rose Marie Kujawa, confirmed the good news to students in an email:

"I wanted to inform you as soon as possible that there will be no speaker from Planned Parenthood at Madonna University (including the Orchard Lake or any other MU extension)," the email stated . "You can share this with our Campus Ministry students. I am sure this will bring relief to their parents as well. Thank you for your prayers."

Braving Berkeley: Into the Lion's Den

He looked at the flier and froze like a statue for a few long seconds. "Are you sure you know where you are?" asked the student. "Yes, of course," I answered as I passed out more fliers defending traditional marriage near Sather Gate. But he insisted: "No. You don't understand... Do you really, really know where you are? This is Berkeley! You are at UC Berkeley! I can't believe it."

Many other students repeated the same line in utter disbelief: "Do you really know where you are right now?"

So there we were on the middle of campus with our tall TFP banner fluttering majestically in the wind, very visible to all. And just in case the banner was missed, you could hear the bagpipes echoing off the buildings loud and clear. Yes, we knew where we were and we did not intend to leave before finishing the task at hand, to promote the truth and sanctity of traditional marriage.

Californians call Berkeley "Berserkly." That is no understatement. I was informed that suicides occur on campus at least once a month and U.S. Marine Corps' recruiters run higher risks there than they would facing terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan. They deal with "Code Pink" protesters and hecklers on a daily basis.

Maybe that is why pro-family Californians' eyes get big when we tell them we visited Berkeley. However, every single TFP volunteer embraced the challenge and looked forward to the campaign at this historically liberal bastion.

"Best thing that ever happened at Berkeley"

Right away, a delighted student exclaimed: "Give me a high five! This is the best thing that ever happened at Berkeley!

After forty five minutes, a group of pro-homosexual counter-demonstrators showed up waving rainbow flags and holding signs. A student wearing a yellow T-shirt carried a large metal trash can and slammed it down beside our banner with a loud boom. He encouraged people to discard TFP literature. Very few did. But when a flier was thrown out, the pro-homosexual activists cheered and howled in piercing, shrieking tones.

After slamming down the trash can, the fellow in the yellow t-shirt could not control his temper. He gave us the finger, took out his cell phone and tried to take a picture. However, he was so visibly nervous that he could not manage to keep his hand steady enough. It moved uncontrollably in all directions.

Observing the sight, a conservative student commented: "You (TFP) guys are professional. They (pro-homosexual activists) aren't. Gay pride is a joke." One of the leftist protesters heard him and said, "What did you say!?" hoping he would back down. But he stood his ground, unintimidated, and repeated even more firmly: "I said gay pride is a joke! I can say what I want!"




Zero tolerance for God's marriage

A common trait among pro-homosexual advocates is this: They preach tolerance but show none. They have zero tolerance for God's marriage. In fact, two pro-homosexual activists spit on our flier and threw it down at our feet and two others burned them in a bizarre type of pagan Wiccan ritual.

When this occurred, John Miller addressed the crowd: "Attention folks, this shows you how diversity is put into practice at Berkeley."

"This is tolerance; burning the flier honors the flier. When you burn something you honor it," sarcastically said the student who self-identified herself as a witch.

"So I suppose -- following your logic -- witch hunts honor witches," continued Mr. Miller.

"Your kind burned my kind for generations," said the woman. And making an obscene gesture she yelled, "I'll see you in hell."

Mr. Miller replied: "Don't hold your breath."

Pro-homosexual activists steal, vandalize and burn TFP fliers

"Where are they burning the fliers?" asked a reporter with The Daily Californian. "I heard they are burning your fliers." Then I discovered some bad news: pro-homosexual activists managed to steal a box of 1,200 TFP fliers. They walked off with them unnoticed because each TFP members was busy in discussion circles. An intensive search for the stolen fliers proved fruitless. It was a real shame.

Moments later, smoke started billowing out of the one of the steel trash cans about 200 feet away. Were the stolen fliers burning in that trash can? It was a fair assumption and I informed a police officer about the fire. The police officer verified that in fact the fliers did belong to us and filed a police report, case number 08-03752, registering "stolen/vandalized fliers."

Lots of gray smoke permeated the campus and the police officer decided it was prudent to call in the fire department for help. Within minutes, sirens blared and from our vantage point, we saw a large fire truck opening its way through a busy pedestrian street. Thousands of students quickly moved to the side, curious to know what had happened. We gladly explained.

Firemen in full gear jumped out of the truck and sprayed down the hot, smoking trash can, and then agitated the ashes to make sure it was completely extinguished.

Something interested happened next. Students who initially refused to take our flier, after seeing the fire and smelling the smoke, turned back shocked: "Can you give me one of those?" A steady stream of students approached to ask for fliers. This is unusual.

A pro-homosexual student sitting on a bench was overheard saying: "I want to punch the bagpiper out!"

I think I should mention that in the classroom buildings, the labels on both the men's room and woman's room had a question mark "?" scribbled in after them, challenging the distinction between manhood and womanhood in an attempt to promote androgyny.

"You are like Teutonic Knights!"

After eight days on the streets of California, we've been called just about every bad name, for simply opposing same-sex "marriage" in a polite and peaceful manner. At this point, the names are like water off a duck's back. It doesn't bother us much. But at Berkeley, a new sort of insult was formulated against us which made us happy. Yes, happy. I'll explain.

A liberal student paused by the TFP standard to challenge John Miller and other TFP members. He attacked religion and anyone who respects the Bible. He called us Catholic fools. After substantially loosing the discussion, he used more insults. Seeing how unimpressed we were with his insults, he said: "You people are like the Teutonic Knights!" thinking we would take great offense. Boy was he shocked when we thanked him for the eulogy: "That's a compliment. The ideals of chivalry are precisely what we aspire to imitate."

He just stood there in shock, shaking his head, dumbfounded.

Chanting We Want God

Before departing campus, we gathered for prayer. We invoked Saint Michael and Saint Joseph, our caravan patron, followed by the TFP motto: "Tradition Family Property – America."

The pro-homosexual opposition gathered around us in large numbers. They harassed, shouted, and yelled. Although we normally lower the banner after prayer, we decided to parade off campus, singing a hymn by St. Louis de Montfort, "We Want God" as well as "God Bless America."

Aggressively waving rainbow flags in our faces, a mob of pro-homosexual activists followed us wherever we went. They jeered and laughed. Meanwhile, the lyrics of our chant reverberated louder than their jeers: "We want God, O men ungrateful… the foolish laugh at the Faith, in vain they rise against the Lord. Bless O Virgin, the proclaiming of our Faith. We want God until we die."

For the greater glory of God, our mission was accomplished.

This event took place on September 8, 2008.

Protest V-Monologues at Catholic St. Mary's College

Catholic students are hoping the notoriously lewd play by feminist activist Eve Ensler, The V-Monologues, does not disgrace the campus of Saint Mary’s College of California.

Register your Peaceful
Protest Here

The offensive play is scheduled to show on February 11 at the Soda Center. If the play is not canceled, students will be invited to see a production full of explicit discussions of sexuality and sexual encounters, including lesbian activity and masturbation.

This is how one student described the play: “It was a horrible exhibit of vice, lust, and infidelity. Everything about the play was decidedly opposed to

Saint Jean Baptiste de la Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers. What would he have to say about this scandal?

everything the Church teaches on abortion, contraception, holy matrimony, modesty, chastity, vulgarity, humility, and reverence.”

Over the years many Catholic colleges and universities have canceled the play due to its indecent, immoral and sinful content. TFP Student Action is asking its members to urge the president of Saint Mary’s to ban the play and avoid scandal.

In fact, Saint Mary’s web site states: “We’re a Catholic, Lasallian, liberal arts college, and we’re rooted in the life and work of Saint John Baptist de la Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers and the patron saint of teachers. Our traditions and heritage inform everything we do.”

The right course of action is clear: To remain true to its Catholic heritage, Saint Mary’s should cancel the immoral show.

Land of Fatima Re-elects Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homosexual ‘Marriage’ and "Catholic" President

by Hillary White

LISBON, February 2, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Aníbal António Cavaco Silva, the Catholic politician who approved a law that led to the liberalization of abortion and another that instituted gay “marriage” in Portugal, has been reelected as the country’s president in general elections on Sunday, January 23.

Silva has promised to serve his five-year mandate with “confidence” and “stability,” working “loyally” with the Socialist government.

When announcing his decision to run for a second term, Silva said, “Given the extremely difficult situation Portugal is facing at the moment, I thought it was my duty to stand for election. With my experience and my knowledge, I can help my country.”

Legislation approved by Silva in 2007 allows abortion on demand up to the 10th week of pregnancy. Last year, Silva garnered criticism from the country’s powerful Catholic bishops when he approved a law that created same-sex “marriage.”

These legal changes prompted a rare direct rebuke from Pope Benedict when he visited the country in May 2010. The pope called for public initiatives to protect “the family based on the indissoluble marriage between a man and a woman.”

The pope also expressed his “deep appreciation for all those social and pastoral initiatives aimed at combating the socioeconomic and cultural mechanisms which lead to abortion, and are openly concerned to defend life and to promote the reconciliation and healing of those harmed by the tragedy of abortion.”

Silva has responded to criticism, saying that he had to put his personal convictions aside in approving the law.

Due to his refusal to use his presidential veto to stop the abortion and gay “marriage” laws, Silva was able to portray himself as a “centrist” who would use his influence to guide the country through its looming economic crisis.
