Item How to Defy the Catholic Church (New York Times)
Believers have a spiritual obligation to defend their L.G.B.T.Q. brothers and sisters, even against archbishops.
…In Catholic schools, teachers are expected to serve as living examples of Catholic teaching, which emphasizes the need to treat others with compassion, to alleviate the suffering of the oppressed, and to organize community life around the institution of marriage, among other central tenets of the faith.
In this context, the hypocrisy of the archbishop’s position is breathtaking. This teacher had entered into a legal marriage protected by the Constitution…
But the priest was taking questions, and I had a question. If God is all-merciful, how can there possibly be a hell? I could not imagine a sin so egregious that it was beyond the reach of my own capacity for mercy, and I was only a human being. I was certainly not God.
This newspaper is, of course, not run by Christians.
Item Ithaca credit union offers financial support for gender transitions
For transgender and non-binary people, the costs of a gender transition can add up quickly: costs like hormone replacement therapy, surgery, travel to appointments, vocal coaching, and covering the loss of a job or housing due to discrimination. A new program at an Ithaca credit union aims to ensure those costs do not create a barrier to affirmation and inclusion.
For the love of money is the root of all evil. Tranny Madness is Big Business.
Item We Now Offer Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (Planned Parenthood)
Planned Parenthood of New York City now offers gender affirming hormone therapy for transgender and gender nonconforming patients. We also offer the full range of sexual and reproductive health care to people of all genders and identities.

What does pumping expensive foreign chemicals into the bodies of confused people have to do with killing the lives inside would-be mothers?
Everything!
Planned Parenthood is an Orwellian name; thus, it means the opposite of what is says. What they therefore mean by “Parenthood” is non-parenthood. This is why they hand out pregnancy prevention pills. This is why they are experts in killing. This is why they want to inject damaging chemicals into people.
Of course, they are also greedy buggers, and as was said above. Tranny Madness is Big Business.
Item Amazon removes controversial books by ‘father of conversion therapy’
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, founder of the now-shuttered Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic, as well as the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), authored several how-to guides directed to parents of LGBTQ youth, including “A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality.” His books are some of the most well-known works about conversion therapy, the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
“I would say many survivors of conversion therapy could trace their trauma to Nicolosi,” Sam Brinton, head of advocacy and government affairs at The Trevor Project and a survivor of conversion therapy, told NBC News.
They make the “shuttering” sound nefarious. But it’s hard to run a clinic when you are dead, which, God rest him, Nicolosi is.
And “survivors” of conversion therapy? Gays, necrophiliacs, pedophiles, and so on aren’t born that way. They are made. They therefore can be unmade. People survive homosexuality, especially given the extreme dangers of sodomy.

Perhaps there will be a competition among “doctors” for the first to be able to mutilate and drug a baby.
Item The Twisted Meaning of Miley Cyrus’ “Mother’s Daughter” [Video]
The concept of the video is rather simple: Lots of guest appearances by activists and other people that support a specific agenda. At the center of it all: Miley Cyrus wearing a red latex suit which features a symbolic “accessory”.
Miley’s suit features a “vagina dentata” — teeth around female genitals. This ancient and archetypal symbol can be found in various cultures and is usually associated with cautionary folk tales about the dangers of copulation with the wrong women at the risk of harm and emasculation.
Beyond the folk tales, the dentata aptly represents an important aspect of today’s mass media agenda: The weaponization of feminity. It is about using “feminism” (a distorted version of it) for social engineering. It is about turning the female body (with all of its warm, receptive and nurturing qualities) against its own nature. It is about radicalizing sexes and breeding hatred between males and females. It is about turning the sad reality of abortion into some kind of feminist power move.
The video also features the graphic “Virginity is a Social Construct”, next to the picture of a child.
It descends from these lows to places only a few thought our culture would sink to. It belongs in the Tranny Madness category because of its depiction of, inter alia, a black crippled wheel-chair bound tranny. And because, obviously, this Cyrus person is making a mint off of it.
The featured picture is an image from the video, which Vigilant Citizen also displayed. He had more guts than I, for I refuse to show the red suit with metal teeth.

Item Crucifix removed from National Assembly’s Blue Room after years of debate
Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette proposed a motion in March to separate the crucifix from the National Assembly’s Blue Room.
Any country that has an Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion Minister is doomed, or already dead.

” If God is all-merciful, how can there possibly be a hell?” Well, because mercy does not mean “abscence of punishment.” In fact, just the opposite. Punishment must exist, as must evil, in order to show mercy. Seems pretty plain to me. Of course, the twisted mind of these people will never understand. They will not allow themselves to because it ruins their ME ME ME ME ME ME ME lifestyles.
Transgendering—something Mengele would have been proud of. He could only imagine parents willingly mutilating their children for the sake of the Regime. He had to take them by force. Of course at that time, parents may have still loved their children. They DO NOT LOVE THEIR CHILDREN ANYMORE and that’s important to understand.
Had Miley Cyrus’s mother only shared her attitude, we wouldn’t be subjected to the insane evil brat. As for virginity is only a social construct, the progressive are SCIENCE DENIERS all the way.
@ Sheri,
“Punishment must exist, as must evil, in order to show mercy.”
This has exactly the same psychology as an abusive relationship where the battered wife should be thankful for the mercy shown by her husband on the nights when he doesn’t come home drunk and bash her head against a wall.
“Punishment must exist, as must evil, in order to show mercy.”
I cannot find where mercy is supposedly being shown in the example of childhood cancer. Perhaps you could explain it to me Sheri,

Thanks for a wonderful example of sophistry.
@Justin
Why childhood cancer, and not childhood slavery? Or childhood famine? Only first World problems of the current era are logical reasons for God not to exist?

It isn’t; or in other emotional appeals to pity.
The meaning is “disposition to forgive or show compassion.” If a death sentence is commuted to life in prison, that is a mercy. [The French still say merci for “thanks.”] The abusive spouse who refrains from bashing her husband with a frying pan is, as swordfish pointed out, also showing a mercy; although, unless she refrains always, we cannot say she is ‘mercy-full.’
As for the child with cancer, he has done nothing culpable, requiring forgiveness.
The Latin merces meant “pay, recompense, hire, salary, reward; rent, price; bribe.” It derives from merx, from which we also get “market.”
Milton Erickson successfully treated homosexual patients, reorienting them towards the opposite sex. The data I’m pulling from is old (the 90s), but most homosexuals have had heterosexual sex. Before the APA decided by fiat that homosexuality was not disordered, people were treated and their behaviors successfully reoriented. I believe this is far more humane than current evangelical and other thinking that demands homosexuals be forever celibate (not least because it buys into the paradigm that being a homosexual is an immutable state not descriptive of a behavior).
Of course some “conversion” therapies were run by amateurs who did damage. But real therapies existed that really helped. I fear of course that the institutional knowledge on this topic has disappeared by now.
@ Ye Olde Statistician,
“If a death sentence is commuted to life in prison, that is a mercy.”
We know that. God is responsible for the death sentence of cancer, so could prevent it as an act of mercy, but he hasn’t done so. But there’s more! If God’s system of punishment is perfect, then he can’t withhold his punishment as an act of mercy without breaking his own system. Cue comedy slide whistle SFX.
“As for the child with cancer, he has done nothing culpable, requiring forgiveness.”
Seriously?
That’s interesting you mention that Hoyos and of course as you say, the left wants homosexuality to be a permanent thing for individuals.
@swordfishtrombone
The period of life on earth is brief, and the first death of little concern compared to the second. Life without end and an eternity of joy is on the table, but we have been promised suffering in this life.
Suffering is usually about learning something, either for the one suffering or those around them. As for your complaint that it exists at all, consult the Book of Job. Remember that the greatest act of love for Christians is to die so that others, especially their persecutors, may be saved. This is known as martyrdom.
You may not doubt take umbrage with the failure of Christians to live up to our ideals. Consider the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican.
God bless and watch over you.
The problem of evil and suffering isn’t solved by word games.
If I thought God was as Swordfish is constantly opposing, I’d think the same.
He isn’t, as far as I know.
The universe is the way it is, warts and all, as we view it.
Yet the way is to make the best of what you have been given by whatever means.
He is right that you should live your life as if it is the only one you have.
God doesn’t hate anyone. Nor does he want you to hate anyone on his behalf. God does not need you for that. What does it make you?
If you really believe in God you know he has left it up to you, for a reason.
@ Hoyos,
“Before the APA decided by fiat that homosexuality was not disordered, people were treated and their behaviors successfully reoriented.”
Very few. Less than 3% according to one study. More importantly, the techniques used were often barbaric, with thousands of people being lobotomised.
“I believe this is far more humane than current evangelical and other thinking that demands homosexuals be forever celibate”
Exceeding the humanity of evangelical thinking is a pretty low bar. Luckily, this doesn’t matter as society has moved on from the iron age and decided that there’s nothing wrong with being gay.
“The universe is the way it is, warts and all, as we view it.”
I think childhood cancer is a little bit more serious than “warts”.
Justin
Swordfish, where do you get your “information”? Lobotomies were largely out of use by the late 1960- early 70s, so I doubt they were using it for treatment of homosexuality in the 1990s. Citation?
God is responsible for the death sentence of cancer,
Says who?
@ c matt,
“Where do you get your information?”
Just look up “Conversion therapy” on Wikipedia. There are 6 references for the use of lobotomy, 270 references in total. I don’t know why you mention the 1990s, as I didn’t.
“Says who?”
Me. God is responsible for everything because he ‘king created it all.
Justin,
My comment was intended for the ‘Christians’ among the crowd who believe that WE are responsible for all things bad that happen on earth. They are no different from the climate crowd who consider humans to be a cancer in and of themselves.
Personally don’t subscribe to that view. Nor to the idea of original sin except to say what everybody would agree, that nobody is perfect, or without sin, if you prefer.
Your remark about childhood cancer could be said about ANY cancer, or life limiting, threatening disease. Or an enormous list of natural evils or evil scenarios. There is also cross over when considering some things which are not clearly moral or natural.
I submit to the argument that hope, along with other spiritual elements are eradicated in people’s hearts when the notion of God is destroyed.
Just one point of interest, though, if God doesn’t exist why does anybody care what he did or didn’t create?
I’m with you on the audacious claims that so many make on the matter of blame and accusation that comes from the ‘christian’ side. They don’t understand, never will.
To be clear, also, I am not implying that anybody who does not blieve in God has no hope. If God really does exist, he cannot be eradicated, as it follows.
What happens is people’s attitudes and experiences change in a very real way. What irks me more than anything are the horendous examples of Christianity and shallow thinking, or callusness, of the ones who are so cam certain they’re going to make other peole’s life a living hell just to gain brownie points with God.
Why? because they are wrong about God.
“Damned” not “cam”.
