Catholic couple sues Massachusetts after their foster parent application was denied because they do not support procedures to change a child’s ‘God-given sex’ and believe in ‘traditional’ marriage

A Catholic couple are suing Massachusetts after their application to become foster parents was denied over concerns they would not be ‘affirming’ to a child who identified as LGBTQ+.

Court documents filed this week show that Catherine and her husband Michael Burke, who are devout Catholics, applied to be foster parents after experiencing ‘the heartbreak of infertility.’

However, their application was denied by Massachusetts Department of Children and Families in April after staff were concerned over the couple’s responses to questions regarding care for an LGBTQ+ child.

David Krayden: The Million-Person March Against Gender Ideology Is a Force for Uniting People of Faith

Can an Ottawa businessman and Muslim activist successfully organize a million-person march to protest gender ideology in Canadian schools?

Yes, because Kamel El-Cheikh has a Canada-wide network stretching from Vancouver to Halifax and he’s asking not just his fellow Muslims to march in protest but people of all faiths. In doing so, he is shaping a juggernaut of political opposition to the radical LGBTQ policies of federal and provincial governments across Canada that are insisting children be allowed to change their gender without parental consent and be exposed to a perverse cornucopia of sexual fetishism and pornography.

I would love to see this work out for the good of all however I suspect that the schoolboards and politicians will play their usual game of divide and conquer.

Muslims will be granted concessions for their children, Christians will not.

The Opening of a Religious Charter School Is Not Christian Nationalism

“Something deeply un-American is underway in the state of Oklahoma,” writes Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, in the New York Times. Mourning — and suing to prevent — the opening of a religious charter school in Tulsa, she decries that “Christian nationalist groups see charter schools as fertile ground for their full-on assault on the separation of church and state in public education.”

Tragedy in Manipur: India’s Christians are suffering under ‘anti-conversion laws’

Carnage in Manipur showcases the tragedy unfolding around India’s anti-Christian ‘conversion laws’.

Two Christian women from the Kuki tribe, allegedly raped by Hindu extremists, are an example of how reluctant Western and Indian authorities are to call it persecution.

Both women, one middle-aged and the other in her 20s, were marched naked down a street towards a field before authorities claim they were gang-raped by ‘dozens’ of men in early May.

Inside Manipur: British teacher’s encounter with mob violence in India

In the state, where two women were gang raped, villagers are being beheaded and homes and churches torched

The video is almost impossible to watch. Two terrified Indian women stripped by a marauding mob of men with sticks, paraded and publicly groped before being dragged to a paddy field where they were allegedly gang raped.

“The entire country has been shamed,” declared Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, when it emerged ten days ago amid global outrage. “What happened to the daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven.”

Gang rape of Christian women causes uproar in India

Narendra Modi has pledged to protect the “daughters of Manipur” from ethnic violence after the gang rape of two Christian women by a Hindu mob.

A video shared widely online — despite a ban on the internet in Mainpur, the northeastern state which shares a border with Myanmar — shows the women being paraded naked and groped by a group of apparently Hindu men before being dragged into a field where they were allegedly raped.

The Bigotry That Proudly Speaks Its Name

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence – Anti-Christian Hate Group

From Dodger Stadium to Washington, indulging anti-Catholic sentiment is an elite pastime.

When John F. Kennedy ran for president in 1960, he felt compelled, memorably, to make a declaration of political independence from the authorities of his Catholic faith.

His opponents had notoriously exploited anti-Catholic sentiment in key states to suggest that somehow a papist in the Oval Office would owe principal loyalty to the Vatican and would take instruction from the pope on critical questions of the presidency.

Christianity ‘Must be Eliminated’: The Persecution of Christians, April 2023

“Political Islam replaces the laws or interprets them differently so that they restrict the practice of other religions. It also works to change the culture of society — which puts it under great pressure — so that it becomes more radical and extreme, not only toward other religions but also toward other Islamic sects.” — catholicnewsagency.com, 2023, Libya.

Report: Anti-Catholic Hate Crimes Have Nearly Tripled In Canada

Canada, not unlike much of the United States, was a very different place just a short time ago. Most Canadians used to believe in basic civil liberties. They could watch hockey games without being lectured about radical gender theory by teams donning pride-themed jerseys. Denouncing people for the color of their skin was seen as vicious, not virtuous.

But perhaps the most troubling of all changes to occur in recent years is the country’s open and growing hostility toward Christianity and, in particular, the Catholic faith.

Is the US a threat to Christians in the Middle East?

The Iraq war in particular has been devastating to the region’s religious minorities

Religious persecution is a global constant, and no one is exempt. The most conspicuous threats to religious liberty arise in authoritarian and Muslim-majority states; however, Middle Eastern Christians point to an even greater threat: the United States.

At an international conference a couple weeks ago, a beleaguered Christian activist admitted to me what he was reluctant to state publicly: the US poses the most serious danger to his community. American political and military intervention fueled the destructive persecution that was driving Christianity from its geographic birthplace.

Nothing ‘suspicious’ about it … Trudeau says anti-Christian hate crimes are “undertandable”

RCMP investigating ‘suspicious’ fire at church in eastern Alberta hamlet

A church in the Alberta hamlet of Cherry Grove went up in flames early Friday morning and RCMP are calling the fire suspicious.

Cold Lake RCMP were sent to the hamlet, about 10 kilometres east of Cold Lake, and found the church “fully engulfed.”

RCMP said the fire is considered “suspicious,” based on their early investigation.

That’s OK Junior says it’s understandable.

Now imagine someone suggesting kristallnacht was “wrong” but understandable.

Turkey: The Abandoned Iraqi and Syrian Christian Asylum Seekers

The Christians of Iraq and Syria have for decades suffered from persecution and instability caused by oppression by the Ba’ath regimes, the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, the outbreak of Sunni-Shiite fighting in 2006, al-Qaeda terrorism, the 2014 genocide by ISIS, ongoing Turkish airstrikes on Iraq and Syria, and in many cases, pressures and harassment at the hands of their Muslim neighbors. All this persecution has forced many of them to leave their home countries and seek asylum elsewhere.
