More on Gay Marriage

Let me make an important point first.    There are ordinary gays getting on with their lives as best they can and they are the majority.  They are not interested in marriage nor making a fuss, they just want to be left in peace.   Then there are the Gay Activists who are driven by what can only be called hatred and like spoiled children they demand whatever they can get and care not a jot for whoever they hurt.    We have seen the case just today in Belfast.   A Gay Activist 'innocently' walks into a cake factory and asks for a cake with 'Support Gay Marriage' on it.   Of course he does not know the owners are Christian or he would have gone elsewhere.  Of course he would.     When he is refused he feels himself ' a lesser person' and demands justice.   He gets it.   The judge has no real alternative and gives a fine of £500 which is reasonable.   Take the other case in England a few years back.   A Christian couple run a boarding house for married couples  only.   They are guided by their conscience on this and no couple just living together make any fuss.   They are not anti anyone they are just pro-marriage.    Then a couple of gay activists  turn up, take them to court and in one of the worst miscarriages of justice in English law, they are so heavily fined that they lose their little business and the gays go laughing to the bank.  In the Belfast case the Christian family could have been just as heavily fined.  There is no law or defence that the Christians can use against the Gay Activists     No conscience clause has been written into the legislation, so in the end it is a question of how severe the punishment is and this will depend on how pro-gay the Judge happens to be.   It is a serious problem and tomorrow the Irish TD's will be anxious for you to vote for Gay Marriage less they be rubber stamped homophobic, not because they actually do believe in Gay Marriage.   It also is very true that tomorrow perhaps the people of Ireland will be able to say they disagree with Gay Marriage for the last time.  To voice such an opinion when the vote for is carried will be homophobic and their freedom of speech will be seriously curtailed.  I have heard one or two of your parliamentary candidates speaking and all the real questions they avoid as they do this one.  They support through fear not conviction and they are about to betray the Irish people.

Translation of Luke 1: 28 in the Latin Vulgate by St Jerome.

.......et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus..... If indeed we are to have a Year of the Bible and indeed praise St Jerome, as indeed he deserves to be praised, for translating the texts approved by the Church into Latin, the language of the Mass, then surely we should check what the Latin says according to St Jerome before we rush into translating into other languages.    In this case translating  from the Gospel of Luke, St Jerome wrote the above, which translates  "..and entering the angel said to her 'Hail full of grace the Lord is with you and blessed are you among women".   Now you do not have to be a scholar to realise that this means much more than 'highly favoured'.   So why I ask myself does the translation we read in our Catholic Church at the gospel read 'highly favoured' rather than 'full of grace'  Why is this important?   Because if she was born 'full of grace' t

FAIR AS THE MOON, BRIGHT AS THE SUN, TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY SET IN BATTLE ARRAY

'Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array'. The above quote will be familiar to only a few Catholics today,   It was once on the lips of members of the Legion of Mary which was present in many parishes.    Fair as the moon and bright as the sun certainly describes Our Lady of Fatima but who exactly is meant by 'terrible as an army set in battle array?'   Certainly Our Lady appeared to ask us to pray for the conversion of sinners many of who were going to Hell for their sins as forewarned by her Son Jesus when he preachedHis Gospel.  Often we are trying and feel we are succeeding in living good lives when suddenly everything goes wrong  Like St Paul we often do the things we do not want to do rather than those that we want to do.   It is because we are involved in a war between Good and Evil and we are the children of Mary that the red Dragon wishes to devour in Revelations 12    We

The meaning of 'virgo Immaculata'

Image
As you will see from the stained glass window the name given to the image is Virgo Immaculata.   Mary was the virgin who remained sinless and spotless.  Yes she would have been tempted by Satan, but as the image shows she kept close to God in prayer and all the wiles of Satan, the forbidden fruit he offered, depictdd by the apple, ended up stuck in his throat while the right foot of Mary crushed his head. "I will put enmity between Thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed", God tole the serpent in Genesis   Satan was no match for Jesus who was God made Man but he had overcome a mere mortal before in Eve, What a triumph it would have been to destroy she whom Jesus loved above al others - his mother.   But Mary kept close to Jesus and to God, the new Eve, and mother of the new children that the death of Jesus brought into being.    And as Revelations 12 tells us having failed to destroy the birth of Jesus Satan  went after her other children - us.       When
