Christian Unity

July 22nd, 2010 Comments off

I have been saying that the Reformation is coming to an end: the orthodox believers of all denominations have more in common with each other than with the more “progressive” members of their own traditions. The need to work together for life and natural marriage is breaking down 500 years worth of historic mistrust and hostilities.
Now, comes this report, that maybe even the 1,000 year old separation between the Eastern and Western Churches may be healing.

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, praised Pope Benedict and blasted Protestant bodies that have accepted women’s ordination and caved in to the secular culture on homosexuality. Read more…

Father John Codega at Providence’s Summer of Marriage rally

July 22nd, 2010 Comments off

Father John Codega, priest in the diocese of Providence and advisory board member to Rhode Island’s chapter of the National Organization for Marriage, was also at Providence’s “Summer of Marriage” rally on July 18 with Dr J (see “The Problem(s) with Same-Sex Marriage, Part 2″).  The shouting and chanting you hear are the rainbow protestors, who also attended the rally.  We also have a few other reports of how they tried to disrupt the rally (here, here, here, here & here, here, and here) as well as audio and video (here, here, here, and here).  Much of this is also on our blog.

A commenter here on the blog made the ridiculous statement that Feminism is about choice.

But feminism has little, if anything to do with choice.  For instance, Feminism has been dead set against the choice to be a stay at home mother.  It has derided that particular choice ever since the author of The Feminine Mystique condemned the homes of housewives as “comfortable concentration camps.”

This article discusses the stunning success that feminism has had in stigmatizing housewives.

STOCKHOLM — When the Swedish journalist Peter Letmark tried to track down a housewife for a series on 21st-century parents in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter recently, he failed.

“Housewives,” he explained, “are a near-extinct species in Sweden. And the few who still do exist don’t really dare to go public with it.” Read more…

My approximate remarks in Annapolis

This is the gist of what I said in annapolis on Wednesday:
