On "Day of Silence," St. Ignatius Students to Remember Victims of Gay Agenda
http://keepignatiuscatholic.blogspot.com/ ^ | March 31,2007

Posted on 04/15/2007 7:01:25 AM PDT by Cleveland Clopas

The administration at St. Ignatius High School may be backing the pro-homosexual Day of Silence, but the majority of students at St. Ignatius are not buying it. St. Ignatius students believe their classmates deserve the truth about the deadly and sinful homosexual lifestyle...not silence.

Of course, Moms and Dads aren't paying thousands of dollars in tuition so that Junior can blow off school in protest of the homosexual "Day of Silence." ( See Not Out Kids) And so, the always inventive students at St. Ignatius High School have found a simple, serious and somber way to educate their classmates on this day.

On April 18, 2007, St. Ignatius students are encouraging all of their classmates to remember the victims of homosexual abuse and the victims of the homosexual lifestyle by wearing a red tie to school that day.

The Washington Times reported on March 1, 2004:

Eighty-one percent of sex crimes committed against children by Roman Catholic priests during the past 52 years were homosexual men preying on boys, according to a comprehensive study released yesterday on the church's sex abuse crisis.

This figure is even more disturbing when one takes into consideration that recent studies have concluded that only 1.4% of the population engages in homosexual acts. No wonder the Catholic Catechism clearly teaches that homosexuality is a grave disorder.

Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

This Catholic Church teaching has proven to be prophetic as hundreds of thousands have died early deaths due to the homosexual lifestyle. It is amazing to think that such a small percentage of our poulation has been able to wreak such havoc on the Catholic Church. Thousand of lives have been destroyed, millions of dollars have been paid out in lawsuits causing school and church closings, and most tragically countless souls have been lost. Sadly, those who engage in the homosexual lifestyle can also expect to die over twenty years earlier than their non-homosexual counterparts.

The victims of the homosexual lifestyle include those who have bought our culture's lies and died painful disease ridden deaths as a result. Given the carnage caused by our culture's acceptence of the homosexual lifestyle, how can our adminstration sanction a "Day of Silence?" Give us the truth! As Father Paul Scalia, son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, has stated in an article that can be found below:

As sexual license increases in our culture, we will encounter more adolescents confused about their sexuality and perhaps experiencing same-sex attractions. The easy option is to dissolve the tension by approving homosexuality and even encouraging it. But the most charitable thing we can do for such youth is to love them as God’s own images, to teach them the full truth about human sexuality, and to enable them to live it. Anything less is giving our children stones when they ask for bread.

Wait a minute...how can a Catholic school be supporting this? I mean, literally, how?

The church is vocally anti homosexual agenda. I don’t get it. My daughter;s school is not supporting this.

These sort of truths will anger the gaystapo greatly, but that is a good thing.

Our local Catholic College, Xavier University, permitted students to hand out flyers promoting the Day of Silence. Also, my dad was talking to a woman at church whose daughter goes there. Her psychology professor told her the most balanced men psychologically are bisexual. She about fell out of her chair. She is now switching out of psychology and pursuing a degree in business.

The Homosexual Agenda (With thanks to Mrs. Betty Bowers)

8:00 a.m. Wake up. Wonder where you are.

8:01 a.m. Realize you are lying on 100 percent cotton sheets of at least a 300 count, so don't panic; you're not slumming.

8:02 a.m. Realize you are actually in your own bed for a change. Wake stranger next to you and tell them you are late for work so won't be able to cook breakfast for them. Mutter "sorry" as you help him look for his far-flung underwear. You find out that you tore his boxers while ripping them off him last night, so you "loan" him a pair of boxer-briefs, but not the new ones because you never intend to see him again.

8:05 a.m. Tell the stranger, whose name eludes you, "It was fun. I'll give you a call," as you usher him out the door, avoiding his egregious morning-breath.

8:06 a.m. Crumple and dispose of the piece of paper with his telephone number on it when you get to the kitchen.

8:07 a.m. Make a high protein breakfast while watching the Today show. Wonder if the stories you've heard about Matt Lauer are true. Decide they must be.

8:30 a.m. Italian or domestic? Decide to go with three-button Italian and the only shirt that is clean.

8:45 a.m. Climb into red Z4 and try not to look too much like Barbie driving one of her accessories as you pull out of your underground parking. Revos or Armanis? Go with Revos.

9:35 a.m. Stroll into office.

9:36 a.m. Close door to office and call best friend and laugh about the guy who spent the night at your condo. Point out something annoying about best friend's boyfriend but quickly add "It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, just as long as you love him."

10:15 a.m. Leave office, telling your secretary you are "meeting with a client." Pretend not to notice her insubordinate roll of her eyes (or the cloying "poem" she has tacked to her cubicle wall).

10:30 a.m. Hair appointment for lowlights and cut. Purchase of Aveda anti-humectant pomade.

11:30 a.m. Run into personal trainer at gym. Pester him about getting you Human Growth Hormone. Spend 30 minutes talking to friends on your cell phone while using Hammer Strength machines, preparing a mental-matrix of which circuit parties everyone is going to and which are now passe.

12:00pm Tan. Schedule back-waxing in time for Saturday party where you know you will end up shirtless.

12:30 p.m. Pay trainer for anabolic steroids and schedule a workout. Shower, taking ten minutes to knot your tie while you check-out your best friend's boyfriend undress with the calculation of someone used to wearing a t-back and having dollars stuffed in their crotch.

1:00 p.m. Meet someone for whom you only know his waist, chest and penis size from AOL M4M chat for lunch at a hot, new restaurant. Because the maître d' recognizes you from a gay bar, you are whisked past the Christian heterosexual couples who have been waiting patiently for a table since 12:30.

2:30 p.m. "Dessert at your place." Find out, once again, people lie on AOL.

3:33 p.m. Assume complete control of the U.S., state, and local governments (in addition to other nations' governments); destroy all healthy Christian marriages; recruit all children grades Kindergarten through 12 into your amoral, filthy lifestyle; secure complete control of the media, starting with sitcoms; molest innocent children; give AIDS to as many people as you can; host a pornographic "art" exhibit at your local art museum; and turn people away from Jesus, causing them to burn forever in Hell.

4:10 p.m. Time permitting, bring about the general decline of Western Civilization and look like you are having way too much fun doing it.

4:30 p.m. Take a disco-nap to prevent facial wrinkles from the stress of world conquest and being so terribly witty.

6:00 p.m. Open a fabulous new bottle of Malbec.

6:47 P.M. Bake Ketamine for weekend. Test recipe.

7:00 P.M. Go to Abercrombie & Fitch and announce in a loud voice, "Over!"

7:40 P.M. Stop looking at the photographic displays at Abercrombie & Fitch and go to a cool store to begin shopping.

8:30 p.m. Light dinner with catty homosexual friends at a restaurant you will be "over" by the time it gets its first review in the local paper.

10:30 p.m. Cocktails at a debauched gay bar, trying to avoid alcoholic queens who can't navigate a crowd with a lit cigarette in one hand and a Stoli in a cheap plastic cup in the other. Make audible remark about how "trashy" people who still think smoking is acceptable are.

12:00 a.m. "Nightcap at your place." Find out that people lie in bars, too.

Me either. I think that liberal Catholics or CINOs get in charge of these institutions and make them more secular. It’s a shame because all Catholic institutions of learning need and should be on the same page morally as there is only one version of the Catechim.

Apparently the homosexual agenda at St. Ignatius H.S. is not new:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ignatius_High_School_(Cleveland,_Ohio)

“In 2005 the Cleveland chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network awarded its annual Activist Organization award to the student group UMOJA (United Men of Just Actions)”

The principal, Peter Corrigan, instituted a pro-gay agenda down at St. X in Cincinnati while teaching in the Religion dept. As a reward, he was promoted to become principal at St. Ignatius.

You sound as if you're serious about your questions, so you must be one of the few Catholics who're not aware that virtually the entire hierarchy is "queer." Those who are not actively engaged in a homosexual lifestyle are still limp-wristed pansies. They all wink and look the other way when they see this kind of activity.

The only time they get really, really angry is when someone presents them with undeniable evidence of sexual and financial malfeasance going on in their diocese. Then they persecute that person to the fullest extent of their power. If the whistle-blower is a priest, they have him suspended or even sent to a mental hospital.

And don't fool yourself -- it goes all the way to the top. It was Pope Benedict himself who was good friends with Cardinal Levada in San Francisco and who appointed Levada to the most important position in the Vatican after the Pope.

From a Notre Dame blogger;

http://ocdomer.blogspot.com/index.html


Numerous student groups at the University of Notre Dame are urging members of the campus community to observe a "Day of Silence" on April 18th. According to organizers, those who choose to participate in the Day of Silence can carry a card and wear a button to explain why they are not speaking.

And why aren't they speaking? Is it to remember the students murdered at Virginia Tech today? Is it to remember the victims of radical Islamist terror worldwide? Or the brave soldiers who have died in the fight against terror? Is it to honor Jackie Robinson on the 60th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier in Major League baseball?

Nope.

The "Day of Silence" is part of the "Stand Against Hate," a full week of activities designed to spread awareness about issues faced by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community - including harassment and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals - with the hope of bringing the issue back to the center of campus consciousness.

In addition to the "Day of Silence," the "Stand Against Hate" will include a display of the Holocaust memorial on South Quad (on Tuesday) that will include symbols used by Nazis during the Holocaust to label and identify their victims.

It's this type of brave stand against bigotry and oppression that makes me so proud to be a Domer. Not!

Are LGBTQ (what the heck does Q mean?) persons really subjected to harassment, discrimination and hate at the University of Notre Dame? Or are they instead subjected merely to disapproval? Because there is a big difference between the two. Notre Dame students, faculty, and administrators are an educated group, and the culture on campus is steeped in political correctness and tolerance. I find it hard to believe that any group of people is really subjected to harassment and hate on that campus. Well, I take that back. Republicans and conservatives might be subjected to hate and harassment, and have their freedoms of speech and expression curtailed. And sometimes the members of ROTC on campus are subjected to shoddy treatment (there was an anti-ROTC protest on campus just a few weeks ago).

Notre Dame is a Catholic University. It is open to persons of all persuasions, but it still remains true to it's Catholic roots, dedicated to religious belief no less than scientific knowledge. That's part of the package when you get off the bus. This is not a secret. And the Catholic church teaches that God's gift of sexuality is intended by God to be shared between husband and wife. Sexual relations outside of marriage (whether between man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, Q and Q, priest and child) is contrary to the Church's teachings. Thus, at a Catholic University, it is no surprise that sexual relations outside of marriage are not encouraged. Setting LGBTQ issues aside, the University goes to significant lengths to "harass" and sexually discriminate between its students in order to prevent heterosexual relations between non-married persons. Single-sex dorms, parietals, and University rules are all designed to impede heterosexual students from exercising sexual "freedom." LGBTQ students should expect no better. LGBTQ sexual practices and choices are contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church and contrary to the values of the University community. Because of that LGBTQ students will encounter, at times, disapproval of their chosen lifestyle. But disapproval is not hate. Jesus taught that he who is without sin should cast the first stone, thus Christ taught tolerance and forgiveness. Neither Christ nor the Church teaches hate. But tolerance does not always mean agreement or approval or endorsement.

I am also disturbed by the inclusion of the Holocaust memorial in this week's activities. Yes, homosexuals also suffered at the hands of the Nazis. But using the memorial as a prop this week trivializes what happened to the Jewish and homosexual victims of National Socialism. More than six million Jews were slaughtered in cold blood by the Nazis. Slaughtered not because of anything they actually did, but merely because of their ancestry. The Holocaust was Evil on a scale beyond imagining. To draw a parallel, however tenuous, between the victims of the Holocaust and the "victims" of "hate" at the University of Notre Dame is truly insulting. As noted above, LGBTQ students at Notre Dame may face disapproval, but they do not face hatred. Using the Holocaust memorial as a prop in the "Stand Against Hate" merely demonstrates that the LGBTQ community doesn't really understand what true hatred is. Of course, the subtle, unspoken message in using the Holocaust in this way is that while the LGBTQ students are victims of Nazi-style hatred, those who disagree with or disapprove of the LGBTQ lifestyle are the modern equivalent of the Nazis themselves.

Who's hating now?

I can sort of understand a Catholic University backing something like this because many non-Catholics do attend Catholic universities, and by that age you are old enough to decide right from wrong yourself, but why would a HIGH SCHOOL support it?
