...to accomodate the cynical whim of a lesbian agenda driven couple, who are using "their" daughter to drive their agenda against their only viable enemy in America, the Catholic Church?

Excellent point and final statement Polycarp.

I am sorry to say that I believe this is a set-up, a foot-in-the-door issue or a "launching pad", pursued by immoral activists in which Anti-Catholic rhetoric will certainly follow and Catholicism will be attacked.

The question that I have:  how are we to be proactive and fight it?

BE--see post #59. Perhaps you should saddle up and learn a bit of Oregon law.

Pray.

Prayer to St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church

O glorious St. Joseph, you were chosen by God to be the reputed father of Jesus, the most pure Spouse of Mary, ever Virgin, and the Head of the Holy Family. You have been chosen by Christ's Vicar as the heavenly Patron and Protector of the Church founded by Christ. Therefore, with the greatest confidence I implore your powerful assistance for the whole Church Militant. Protect, in a special manner, with true fatherly love, the Sovereign Pontiff and all the bishops and priests in communion with the See of Peter. Be the protector of all who labor for souls amid the trials and tribulations of this life; and grant that all the nations of the earth may submit with docility to that Church out of which there is no salvation.

Dearest St. Joseph, accept the offering I now make of myself to you. I dedicate myself to your service that you may ever be my Father, my Protector and my Guide in the way of salvation. Obtain for me great purity of heart and a fervent love for the interior life. Grant that, after your example, all my actions may be directed to the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and your own parternal heart. Finally, pray for me that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death. Amen

This is a prayer I say in novena every Sunday. It is pre-Vatican II, not the least politically correct and worth the time.

This isn't something we can turn back on our own. We can write and complain and attempt to legislate and vote, but the immediacy of this attack needs the response of Heaven and The Almighty God.

At post 59:   this is a set-up, a foot-in-the-door issue or a "launching pad", pursued by immoral activists in which Anti-Catholic rhetoric will certainly follow and Catholicism will be attacked.

Yikes, then I read this morning...
A 15-year-old student at Mercy Catholic High School in Burlingame, Marina Gatto, daughter of a lesbian couple, trumpeted her pride in participating in the parade as a grand marshal.  Gay Pride Parade Features Catholic Parish/Priest
