One:
A Pagan group in Britain has accused a Catholic social club of religious discrimination for refusing to host a Pagan group’s Annual Witches’ Ball on the grounds it was ‘not compatible with the Catholic ethos.’
Sandra Davis, 61, a High Priestess of the Pagan group, initially had reserved Our Lady’s Social Club in Stockport, Manchester for her group’s Annual Witches Ball. When she called to make payment arrangements, she was told the event could not be held there and must find another venue. She told the Daily Telegraph she was “appalled” and said her congregation was “shocked” that there can be such “religious discrimination.”
“We’re normal people who follow an earth-based religion and want to enjoy ourselves.
“We thought we were bridging the gap with other religions but misconceptions still exist, like we sacrifice animals.
“Does the church check everyone’s beliefs before allowing them in the club?” she asked.
Fr. John Joyce from the Diocese of Shrewsbury explained to the Daily Telegraph why the event could not proceed at the Catholic club.
“Parish centers under our auspices let their premises on the understanding users and their organizations are compatible with the ethos and teachings of the Catholic Church,” he said.
“In this instance, we aren’t satisfied such requirements are met.”
Two:
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the news that the Education Committee of the New York City Council has approved two new Muslim holidays, Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha, to be added to the school calendar:
“On January 14, I testified before this very same committee requesting equal rights for Catholics: Jewish and Islamic religious symbols are displayed in the schools every December, but Christian symbols are banned.
“With the exception of Councilman Tony Avella, and a few others, the Education Committee showed no interest in appeasing Catholics.
“But its members are apparently capable of demonstrating great sensitivity to Muslims.
“Speaker Christine Quinn, who was raised Catholic—and who has shown no interest in the push for parity that the Catholic League wants—is now urging all City Councilmen to vote for this new round of Muslim rights.
“What’s at work is the politics of multiculturalism: tolerance for some, intolerance for others. But this fight isn’t over yet.”
If we don’t allow representatives of the Enemy to use our property, we’re discriminating. If we’re refused access to someone else’s property, we’re not being discriminated against. Boiled down: Whatever offends Christians must be allowed, whatever shows tolerance for Christians must be banned. This is the trend of things, and why we Christians insist there is a war upon our faith – certain people (including the odd alliance of political leftists and Moslem extremists) want us out of the public square and unable to even retreat to private places for our own defense. Essentially, we aren’t wanted at all and the sooner we’re destroyed, the better our enemies will like it.
Well, sorry to say, the gates of Hell will not prevail – so, you who want us gone may as well just give up. I know you won’t, but you are wasting your time, and putting yourselves at exceptional long term risk.
