The French have such style.
It's not just a Catholic thing ...
The movement against gay marriage has given France a new celebrity in the form of its public face, Virginie Tellenne, a Parisian socialite who goes by the name of Frigide Barjot.
Her assumed name - a play on the name of French film star Brigitte Bardot, a sex symbol in the 1960s - translates as Frigid Loony.
"We want the president to deal with the economy and leave the family alone," Ms Tellenne said Sunday.
"We will not give up anything. We came to defend the fact that a father and a mother is better for children," said Marie, a 30-year-old protestor.
Somewhere between 340,000 and 800,000 demonstrators had flooded into the capital for an anti-gay marriage march in January.Tomorrow: The March for marriage in Washington, D.C. ...
A campaign orchestrated by the Catholic Church and belatedly backed by the mainstream centre-right opposition has steadily gathered momentum. - Source
On March 26th the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Perry case, which will determine if Proposition 8 – the citizens initiative approved by the people of California in 2008 to protect marriage – is constitutional or not. More importantly, the question of same-sex “marriage” and the right of Americans to protect marriage will be decided. We believe it is imperative that political leaders, the media, and the culture see that we care about protecting marriage enough to stand up and march for it.Here's a thought:

The March is being organized by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) alongside a broad coalition of pro-family organizations, state partners, African-American, Latino, Catholic and Protestant leaders. Please check the Sponsors page for an up-to-date list of co-sponsoring organizations and the Speakers page for a list of confirmed speakers. - More here.
H/T Thomas Peters for the movement.
"Those of us who favor preserving the traditional understanding of marriage do not do so because we want people who experience attraction to their same sex to suffer. We recognize and respect the equal human dignity of everyone. Everyone should be treated equally, but it is not discrimination to treat differently things that are different. Marriage really is unique for a reason." - Archbishop Cordileone

The neglect of the Bible by Catholics and the hermeneutical liberalization of the Bible by high church Protestants and by Jews....means that few in the US see Romans chapter one as from God....and it clearly opposes gay acts for both genders.
ReplyDeleteFor years also Catholic magazines like US Catholic would take pot shots at Pauline passages that e.g. required wives to obey husbands...BUT....those pot shots helped the gay cause by starting the idea that parts of the epistles are from God and parts
are from Paul. To make matters worse....Vatican II says nothing about wives obeying husbands nor does the Catechism....because most clergy grew up dissing parts of Paul and oddly you can see this too in Evangelium Vitae wherein John Paul opposes the death penlty while never once mentioning Romans 13:4.
In short Paul was dissed by all Catholic subgroups for varying reasons but it is Paul's Romans chapter one that is crystal clear against gay acts for both genders. Aquinas had no such cafeteria approach to Paul...but modern Catholicism did.
Now we need him on gay acts but we left him previously on wives obeying and on the state crrying the sword to execute God's wrath. When you give a dance, you have to pay the band.
