In my last post, I mentioned the intolerance of the persons that are trying to convince everyone that homosexual inclinations are normal and not disordered. This video shows some actual evidence of this intolerance. The article that goes along with this video can be found at The American TFP.
I have been planning on writing this blog post since December of 2009. I will explain what prompted me almost two and a half years ago to think of writing this post in a moment, but first, let me explain why I haven’t written it until now.
You see, I’m sick. I’m so sick that I haven’t been able to work for over thirteen years. During this time, I’ve gone through periods where I’ve been able to write a great deal, and times where I can’t even keep on top of my e-mail. The last two years have been somewhere in the middle, so I haven’t really written too much, and it has not been until now that I’ve been able to write this.
When the Obama administration made the decision not to exempt Catholic hospitals and universities from the mandate to provide insured employees with contraceptives, morning after pills, and sterilization without a co-pay, one of those consulted was Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood. Richards obviously has a special interest in having contraception covered, since dispensing contraception is a major part of their business model. It may be ‘free’ to the woman, but Planned Parenthood will be paid for providing the service.
If you’ve been following my writing for a number of years, you may recall that around four years ago I was investigating the possibility of authentic nude art in photography. I was actually planning to write a book about my findings. I didn’t write that book for a couple of reasons. First, I realized I don’t know enough about art to write such a book. Secondly, there were a number of other projects that I was qualified to work on, so I decided to work on them. I was, however, still planning on writing a blog post about the conclusions I drew from my investigation of nude photography. It’s been almost four years now, and I’ve finally getting around to writing that blog post. Actually, it was the e-mail below that prompted me to write this.
I just got the following e-mail from my friend Fr. Enzo:
Integrity Restored
» Visit this site http://www.integrityrestored.com/
Description
Integrity Restored is a site for those struggling with pornography use. It was designed to help men, their wives and their families break free from the bonds of porn.
I stopped reading the National Post when they misreported the pope’s comments about condom use; however, someone told me I should read the article Two solitudes. This article gets somethings right and somethings wrong. Actually, the things it gets right contradict what it gets wrong.
For the past number of years, I’ve been following my friend Adèle’s blog Journey to Thérèse. Don’t bother clicking on it, it’s no longer there. All you get is this message:

On February 13, 2011, guardian.co.uk ran a story with the headline: Gay rights groups attack iPhone confession app for Roman Catholics. Group claims app fosters ‘anti-gay spiritual abuse’ as it shoots up list of popular downloads. The following is from that story:
I’ve looked at the pictures (http://noticias.uol.com.br/ultnot/album/bbc/091019calendario_album.jhtm), and I am completely disgusted. Please send an e-mail to the Minister of Justice of Spain and tell others.
It seems that the new e-mail address for the Minister of Justice of Spain is not working. You can copy and paste the message below to the contact form for the Spanish Minister of Justice at this address:
