There was a time in the not-so-distant past when homosexuals were routinely bullied. It was unacceptable, odious behavior back then, as much as it is today. But oh, how the tables have turned! Now, it seems, homosexuals (and their politically active allies) are themselves the bullies — even at Catholic colleges. Case in point: This March, Providence College (PC) in Rhode Island — which is run, ironically, by the Dominican’s Province of St. Joseph, one of the most orthodox religious communities in the country — was the scene of harassment, intimidation, and the threat of forced sodomy. The victim: PC senior Michael Smalanskas. His “offense”: He posted a bulletin-board display in the hallway of his dorm that affirmed Church teaching on marriage. The display, which he titled “Marriage: The Way God Intended It,” included a quote from Pope Francis, “We must affirm the right of children to grow up in a family with a mother and a father,” and showed a bride and groom inside a church. Other parts of the display read, “Traditional marriage: God ordained it. Nature reveals it. Science affirms it,” and “Marriage should be reinforced. Not redefined!” Finally, the display quoted the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark: “And the two shall become one flesh….” That’s it.

Routinely bullied? Not where I live, lol.
No, it was not. HOMOSEXUALITY is the unacceptable, odious behavior. It is society's right to shun it.
Once upon a time, they were a little more interesting, a little less polemical. That was a long time ago.
“...sodomy can be eucharistic.”
In the history of the Church, has there ever been a time similar to now?
Come Lord Jesus.
