Reclaiming ‘Pride Month’: June 2 is ‘Ex-Gay Visibility Day’Unpopular truth: There are more people today living as ‘ex-gays’ than there are those leading homosexual lives.“Pride Month” has just begun, a month when woke identity politics takes center stage for 30 days, relentlessly driving home the unfounded neo-Marxist claim that homosexual and transgender-identifying individuals are members of oppressed victim classes who, in the name of justice, must be elevated to prominence. Meanwhile, the rest of society — including children in school systems, corporate employees, government employees at every level, and even those in the military and the world of sports —...

“The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation” (Exodus 34:6-7). A term that is often heard in Christian circles is the term generational curse. I am not sure if people who are not Christians use that terminology or at least I have never heard it if they do. Many people may wonder what exactly...

[Catholic Caucus] "Everyone Is Welcome" Is Only True in Hell - Mgr. Mutsaerts"Fiducia supplicans" offers the possibility of pseudo-blessing homosexual concubines, even though the Vatican had clearly spoken out against this possibility two years earlier, notes Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of 's-Hertogenbosch in a foreword to the book "The Breached Dam", which deals with the infiltration of homosexual sin into the Francis' Church.Mutsaerts makes it clear that the text of 'Fiducia supplicans' breaks with the Bible, Catholic traditions [and common sense]: "One is asking for God's blessing to heal the brokenness in ones life, not to perpetuate ones disordered situation.""One...

The Pope is only infallible when he speaks “ex cathedra” — i.e. when pronouncing on doctrinal matters of faith as Pontifex Maximus. So, last week, when Francis privately told a gathering of bishops that he opposed the ordination of homosexual priests because there was too much “frociaggine” — or faggotry — in the priesthood already, he was not speaking formally as the Vicar of Christ. Francis’s remarks inevitably caused anger within the LGBQT communities. Fabrizio Marrazzo, leader of the Italian Gay Party, accused the Pope of “backsliding on gay rights.” The Vatican has duly apologized in a statement. It said:...

The surrender of...

"We know that this was shocking and hurtful to many, especially to the innumerable gay priests who have served God’s people faithfully and well. We stand with them, and...

Imagine being in a church where you’re told you can’t have a public opinion on anything without the approval of your pastor. Imagine being in such a cult that your church controls what you post on Facebook. We’re not talking about publishing heresy or sin but having an opinion that your pastor simply doesn’t like. You may remember from a few weeks ago, the Stronger Men’s Conference hosted by James River Church in Springfield, Missouri, turned into a spectacle more befitting a Las Vegas strip club than a Christian gathering. The controversy erupted when Mark Driscoll, a prominent and often...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fuller Theological Seminary, an evangelical school in Pasadena, California, is deliberating whether to become more open to LGBTQ+ students who previously faced possible expulsion if found to be in a same-sex union. That’s according to a draft of proposed revisions to the seminary’s sexual standards that was obtained by The Associated Press. If the board votes to approve these revisions, Fuller could become the first evangelical seminary in the country to adopt standards acknowledging the diversity of thought among Christians pertaining to human sexuality, according to retired professor John Hawthorne, an expert on Christian colleges. Such...

A former United Methodist Church pastor who was defrocked about 20 years ago for being in a same-sex romantic relationship has been reinstated by the mainline Protestant denomination. The UMC Eastern Pennsylvania Annual Conference voted overwhelmingly during a closed session of around 200 clergy on Tuesday evening to readmit Beth Stroud.

(RNS) — Nearly three years ago, Bishop Stewart Ruch of the Anglican Church in North America’s Upper Midwest Diocese admitted “regrettable errors” in handling sexual abuse allegations against a lay minister, before taking a leave of absence. An acting bishop took over the diocese and another ACNA bishop, Todd Atkinson, was tapped to assist him. But Ruch’s absence hasn’t quelled the simmering controversy in the diocese, a sliver of the small, theologically conservative denomination that split from the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada in 2009 over those two denominations’ acceptance of LGBTQ clergy and marriage for same-sex...

Matthew Queen, a former administrator and professor for Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has been charged with falsification of records. The United States Attorney’s Office alleges that Queen sought to cover up a report of sexual abuse that occurred at the Southern Baptist affiliated seminary in 2022. The announcement comes amid the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ongoing investigation of Southern Baptist entities. Southern Baptist leaders were made aware of the DOJ’s probe in 2022 shortly after the release of a Guidepost Solutions report, which revealed the failures of the denomination’s Executive Committee to properly respond to reports of sexual abuse across...
