Genia's demands

Says our in-house gay activist Genia:

"Ya know, Catholics really ought to find something better to do with their tme."

Hmmm, let's see. We have citizens in MA exercizing their rights, but that is a waste of time. I guess maybe they should just write worthless blogs, like Genia does.

That's a MUCH better way to spend one's time.

Hey Jesusisangry: did you know that

04.24.05 (10:07 am)   [edit]
Jesusisangry, along with about every sorry-ass dimwitted liberal on the planet, believes that the GOP's right, as majority party, to alter Senate rules to prevent the never-before seen in US history democrat practice of filibustering (circuit and supreme court) judicial nominees means that the American system we call democracy is in essence a totalitarian regime. He even provides a cliched definition of "totalitarian government".

I guess it might help to point out that we are not a true democracy but a representative democracy. I guess it might help to point out that in the filibuster is not a right of the Senate, but is only allowed because the constitution allows the Senate to make procedural rules. This means the rules can and have changed. I guess it might help to point out the the filibuster is an archaic parliamentary procedure brought over from England meant to allow more time to debate, AND NOT TO BE USED TO OBSTRUCT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

The democrats do not want Bush's nominees to even go to the floor for the required yes or no vote. Since they know that they don't have the votes in a democratic vote (hey, there's that word "democratic" again), they have decided to truly use a nuclear option and filibuster the nominees out of obstructionist and ideological motives, not to allow for more debate. In short, they don't want democracy to proceed-- they want to try to use their abuse of the filibuster to wrest power away from the people.

Now I wonder if that is authoritarian?

The irony is that, unlike Sheets Byrd's actions in the 1970s and 1980s, the GOP's use of the "nuclear option" to rewrite Senate rules on the filibuster have everything to do with democracy, and not obstruction. And since it is within the Senate's powers to rewrite its own rules, it is hardly a nuclear option.

Make no mistake; this entire crisis was brought out of a democratic desire to thwart the will of the majority party and the president. The filibuster was used as an unprecedented weapon to delay a floor vote on the nominees, not as a tool to merely extend debate. That is an abuse of power, that is totalitarian, folks. Those are the facts.

Now if only left-wing kool-aid drinkers like Jesusisangry and the media that feeds him this bilge will acknowledge this pretty plain truth.

But hey, they don't really seem to like doing things fairly in the first place.



Homosexuals, women should understand what a Pope can and cannot do

04.19.05 (3:28 pm)   [edit]
OK, so Pope Benedict XVI has been elected, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and supremely ignorant people, mainly homosexuals and women, think this is a step back and are saddened because they wanted a pope who would "reform" the church.

Of course, on the issue of homosexuality and women as priests, there can be no reform. Why? Because Cardinal Ratzinger's positions on both are in complete agreement with church doctrine, as described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

What does this mean?

Dogma is Christian Truth handed down by the Holy Spirit to the magisterium, or teaching body, of the church. Since it is handed down by the Holy Spirit, since it is truth, it CANNOT BE CHANGED. This means that as much as activist groups in America and Europe want to wail about Ratzinger's positions on homosexuals and women priests, it will be to no avail, for these positions are not Ratzinger's, or Pope JPII's, but God's. That is what dogma means.

While we're at it, what exactly does the Catholic church believe about homosexuality and women priests? Well, it is quite different than the ignorant masses that gobble up air time have led you to believe. The Catholic Church does believe that the practice of homosexuality is gravely disordered because it is not geared toward procreation. The Church does not look down on homosexuals or think they are less than human, rather they think that homosexuals have a cross to bear and should bear it by being chaste.

As far as women in the priesthood goes, Jesus appointed 12 men to be his apostles and, when one of them killed himself, the 12 appointed another man to take his place. The church has long maintained that women ARE EQUAL TO MEN IN THE CHURCH BUT PERFORM VASTLY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH. As women are different from men biologically, so they have different functions, obligations, in the church.

This is not very hard to grasp. It actually is very logical. Why the homosexual activists can't accept this freedom of religion instead of trying t change it is beyond me. And they feel the need to crucify Pope Benedict XVI for adhering to the millenia-old dogma of the church because they fail to respect, much less understand, what the church is.

Don't like the position of the Catholic church? Move on, find a religion that accepts the homosexual practice and ordains women as priests. But please don't base your positions on a pathetic, willful ignorance.
