Happy With Ratzinger! (No, Really!)

OTTAWA, July 7, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Senator Marilyn Trenholme Counsell, in comments made during debate of the impending same-sex “marriage” legislation Wednesday, made the astonishing claim that Jesus Christ would have voted in favour of the legislation as she did.

“As a Christian, I often ask myself ‘what would Jesus do?’” she said, reiterating a maxim often heard in Christian circles. She answered her question with, “In this case, in this time, I believe he would say yes.” Trenholme Counsell, as LifeSiteNews.com learned from the Senator’s assistant Rebecca Menard, was originally Baptist but converted to Anglicanism when she was married.

“After all,” the Chrétien-appointed Liberal from New Brunswick claimed, “we have come a long way from Old Testament days when adulterers were put to death; and we have come a long way in our understanding of human sexuality.”

What? Really? So, Senator, tell us how long you have been using LSD on a regular basis? Honestly now, how can anyone who has even lightly perused the Old and New Testaments come to the conclusion that Jesus would have condoned the idea of homosexual marriage? Of course, they never did say exactly who was being married at the wedding feast when Jesus changed water into wine did they...hmmm. Maybe the Apostles were being just a wee bit hasty when they reaffirmed the vileness of practices of the Sodomites? Naw, probably not. Just a thought. Guess some of them Canucks are just a little bit crazy...much like some of us "south of the border".
