Proposed Law to Legalize Homosexual Marriage in France Uniting People in Opposition







Since homosexual relations violate nature, it doesn't take a Catholic to see that calling them "marriage" is wrong. The French parliament is debating a bill which would legalize homosexual marriage. Most people see that a government law that forces us to pretend that homosexual sex is the same thing as marriage is bad news. This is tantamount to thumbing our nose at God (and you don't have to take my word for it: take one look at the photos of the homosexual activists demonstrating in Paris and you'll see many of them holding signs with vulgar language saying exactly that). The good news? People from all religions and beliefs are uniting in their opposition to this.

Our Jewish brothers are among the many calling for a strong defense of marriage. French Rabbi Gilles Bernheim said that a small number of homosexual activists are pushing this agenda on society in order to soften it up and ready it for a later attack on other fundamentals of society. 

Pope Benedict XVI agreed with Rabbi Bernheim. The Holy Father has been outspoken in his warning of the ramifications of society allowing homosexual marriage. He said that it follows "a concept of human nature that has proven defective".

Archbishop of Paris, Andre Vingt-Trois slammed the homosexual marriage bill, saying it undermines a child's basic right "to know one's parents and be raised by them". Fellow Cardinal Philippe Barbarin also said that this bill would "herald a complete breakdown in society", including rising "polygamy, paedophilia and incest."

Hundreds of thousands (some say millions) of people took to the streets on January 13th to protest the gay marriage bill. Catholics, Jews, Protestants, atheists and even gays participated. Many in the Muslim community have joined the protest.

The group "La Manif Pour Tous" or "The March For All" has led the fight against the abomination of allowing homosexual couples to adopt children. They promise another march in Paris on March 24th.

Faithful Catholics might have reason to be disheartened when they read the news and see that even in a traditionally strong Catholic countries, the cultural decline is accelerating rapidly. Disguised under such euphemisms as "progress" and "tolerance", sexual perversions are being pushed on us. The foundations of society, such as the family, are being destroyed. We can't back down. We have to stay strong in Christ and keep Him at the center of our society. We have to fight to the end because Christ expects no less.
