No room for diversity after all

Diversity and tolerance have been the mission statement and mantra of homosexual activism. But when it comes time to tolerate diversity of thought and belief systems themselves…..they won’t do it. Thus revealing some incoherence.

The recent furor erupted with the passage of Propsition 8.

Then it spread in outrage over president-elect Obama’s inclusion of Pastor Rick Warren in his inauguration ceremony.

Now gays are angry at the Pope. What did he say?

The Church “demands that the order of creation be respected,” the pope said Monday, defining “the nature of the human being as man and woman,” according to excerpts released by the Vatican.

Part of the Church’s mission is to “protect the human beings against self-destruction,” the Pope said in his annual address to the cardinals, archbishops and others who make up the Roman Curia.

The Church has as much responsibility to preserve what it sees as man and woman’s God-given roles as it does to protect endangered species, he implied.

“The rain forest deserves, yes, our protection,” Benedict said, “But mankind does not deserve it less as a creature.”

He always teaches with pure logic and reason. And he’s trying to bring clarity here to a cultural crisis that’s growing as the gay movement gets angrier and more forceful.

A papal spokesman issued a clarification after gay rights campaigners responded angrily to the remarks.

“The pope had no intention to offend or attack transgendered” people, Father Federico Lombari said Tuesday. “What the pope meant to say was that in God’s eyes, a person is born either man or woman. And to deny this fundamental concept, central to Catholic teaching, is to create confusion.”

That’s the point. Acceptance of what has traditionally been unacceptable in the Judeo-Christian ethic is achieved through confusion.

We need more logic, reason and clarity on social and moral issues than anything we’re getting from mainstream media. People often ask me for good news sources. MercatorNet is a great one.
