Happy With Ratzinger! (No, Really!)

By Ted Byfield

Gay marriage will become a legal right in Canada before Parliament prorogues for the summer, Canadians were told last week, because the Liberal government will prolong the session to make sure the bill enacting it gets approval.

Those few Tory MPs favouring the bill, one of them Jim Prentice of Calgary, assure Christians that they need fear no unforeseen consequences from it.

Nothing in it will interfere with freedom of speech, they say, or with the rights of churches to refuse to marry gays, or the rights of Christian schools to teach the biblical injunctions against the practice of homosexuality, or the right of churches to read passages from Scripture condemning homosexual activity.

All these alarming possibilities, say the bill's supporters, are being raised by "the bigots" who oppose the bill.

There is no basis for them, they insist.

Which would be very reassuring were it not for the fact that no Member of Parliament or the cabinet will have any voice whatever on what the bill's consequences will in fact become. That will be left to the Supreme Court, a body that has been diligently stacked to produce whatever the gay and feminist lobbies call upon it to produce.

Oh, Canada! Hast thou lost thy collective mind? Is this but a forshadowing of what is to come for our own country? Read the rest of the article at the following link:
