Homosexuals ARE NOT GAY, so this whole idea of calling them as such is a terrible sin as it insults normal people with Gay as their name or part of their name. Wake up people and be kind to your neighbor as Jesus tells us to do. +JMJ+ |

Hey, what an advancement: Affirmative Action for perverts. Will there be special considerations for subcategories like bisexuals, transsexuals, pederasts, pedophiles and sado-masochists? How about those with an “orientation” towards bestiality? Don’t forget an “orientation” towards necrophilia. Maybe they should recruit for pan-sexuality. That way every kind of pervert will be given an opportunity to accuse, judge, convict, and condemn those of us who are trying to obey God’s will. California is more corrupt every day. Time for the Big One to hit!. |

Speaking of “poisoned water”, I think the California judiciary, legislature and governor’s office are offering this same “benefit” to the citizens of California. |

I left California in 2005, moving to Indiana. The contrast is nothing short of amazing. The state’s governor and legislature have acted responsibly in that they’ve maintained a balanced budget with a contingency fund for emergencies. The school systems, while far from perfect, are not mandated to teach that “gay is good”. In general, it’s affordable, the people are more than civil, and there is a sense of value for family that is fractured and broken in California. Sawyer, it was time to move years ago. The decent law abiding people of California, those who want opportunity rather than handouts, freedom instead of license, need to move out of there now. Protect your kids from buying into the garbage they’re being taught by the schools and society there. The weather here is not as good, and that’s the ONLY thing that’s not better than there. And I am speaking as a California native who moved to America and prefers it here. Keep your weather, and all the bad things, we don’t want it. |

Sounds completely unconstitutional and should be treated as such. When Californians returned Moonbeam to the Governors position, it was like telling God we don’t want you anymore! If I was married and had a family, I would have left this stinking State long ago to protect them. God bless, yours in Their Hearts, Kenneth M. Fisher |

@ Ted — “I am speaking as a California native who moved to America and prefers it here.” Very funny. So California is not part of America? You remind me of the ‘converts’ who say, “I used to be a Catholic, but now I’m a Christian.” California is part of America just as much as French Lick, Indiana, is. Or Santa Claus, Indiana, for that matter. |

Yes, Abeca Christian this is crazy. “What fools these mortals be” as Will Shakespeare put it in one of his plays.This is absolutely laughable if it were not so horrific. There will be some who will lie about their orientation just to get a job. I suppose they will have to present a certificate of having performed a sodomous act on someone of the same sex to get the job. Oh! gheesh! I hope I did not give any crazy legislators any more wild ideas. PerryRinkle, Satan too is called a roaring lion going around to destroy the souls of men contrary to the savior of men, Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. St. Michael defend us in battle. We need you NOW, and I do not mean the National Organization of Women, which is one of the chief proponents of some of this craziness. |

Clean the CA House and Senate in all upcoming elections. They couldn’t do this if immoral goof-balls were not elected. And to MacDonald, you are right, the citizens of CA have been destorying our Country for the last 30 years – thanks for giving us Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Fienstien – all immoral politicians. When are all you guys going to work for and donate money for the election of decent politicians ? |

All this anti-California nonsense is crazy. Each state has good and bad, as does each person who writes on this blog. If someone hates their own state, that must be a miserable way to live. I’m grateful to reside in a place evangelized by Father Serra and his buds. |

Foot fetish or leg fetish? Fat or Slim? Polygamist or single? Vegetarian or Vegan? Crazy or normal? Animal lover or planet lover? The list goes on…the possibilities to the madness are there, open for future options. But this list is still far better than the what the reality is today, it’s more like “natural or unnatural! ” Unhealthy or healthy. |

Brace yourselves,folks—soon,any and all comments that express anything contrary to homosexuals or their agenda will be regarded but the judiciary as “hate speech.” |

tom a. You are right. The Bible will be outlawed for hate speech against those who practice sodomy and other forms of perversion – if Obama gets re-elected. Not only will our freedom of religion be gone, but so will freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, and the right to assemble – unless you are a socialist or communist. |

Mac Donald, as a native Californian, there have been plenty of times that I felt like leaving. In fact there have been times when I have thought about leaving this country, but where would I go. Nevertheless, when I hear the beautiful names of the cities, such as San Bruno, San Jose, Santa Clara, Carmel, San Marin and San Francisco, I know there is hope for a turn around in all this, so I stay and fight it, remembering better times in this state. I also know that may who have helped destroy this state came in here from other states, and that one of the early friars predicted that would happen. |

Anne T – try the town of Ave Maria in FL. Nothing is perfect but this is more moral than most of the State of CA, and their wicked politicians. The State of FL has a decent Government but we still have to get rid of one Democratic Senator (Nelson). Part of CA problems are due to the lack of active and correct teaching on the part of your Bishops – who allow too much Scandal and Sacrilege to continue. The other part is the continuous election and re-election of evil politicians. |

But Californians sure drive better than Floridians, Dorothy. Dorothy,you take your life in your hands every time you head out on the road in Florida…drivers don’t stop at stop lights,(of course, much of that is caused by the snow birds from NYC I’m sure) and there’s an open season on pedestrians all year long…especially in summer when they can’t move as fast in the heat. ha But I digress. What about the denizens of the Florida Keys, and the amazing statistics of STD in places like the Villages? This whole country is in peril..it just happens sooner in California because they’re more open to ‘CHANGE’. The small town where I live is one of the most conservative areas of the country (it is where both Bush’s & Reagan had their last political stops before the election) and the newspaper is as liberal as anything you’d read in the NYTimes because most of the newspapers in this country are owned by liberal elite millionaires. They are forcing their agenda down our throats and it really stinks! |

Very shortly, employers will be REQUIRED to hire a % of homosexuals to make sure they are “adequately represented” in their work force. @Tom Amadeo: I agree. For years I have been saying it will be legislated as hate speech, and here it comes. It will then be applied to Churches and pastors will no longer be able to speak against homosexuality. It’s a matter of time. The left is a majority in this State. Unless something drastic happens (which I doubt), this will come to pass. |

RANDY ENGELS about the town of Ave Maria, Florida: “The official religion practiced and promoted here is not traditional Catholicism but rather a Pentecostal-Charismatic fundamentalism with all the eccentricities and characteristics and dangers of a full-blown cult. The “Praise and Worship” services, Novos Ordo guitar Masses and bizarre healing services held at the Quasi-Parish of Ave Maria Oratory (the “healing services” were eventually banned inside the Oratory by the local Bishop) are not merely a variant on Catholicism, but a different religion altogether with a different theology of grace and salvation.” [Randy Engel is a prolife veteran of more than 40 years. Engel is the founder and Director of the U.S. Coalition for Life, the oldest pro-life research agency in the United States.] |

I go to Mass at Ave Maria. This is mostly a very orthodox Catholic Town but being Catholic is not required to live here. People have a choice of OF or EF Masses DAILY as you can see on their web site. My Bishop didn’t ban anything at Ave Maria since there was no need to do so. MacDonald you said that you live in CA, so please don’t spread lies about this wonderful Parish and Town. The town also has 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration available to everyone which can also be proved by checking the Parish web site. Our Bishop is on the University Board of Directors. Priests for Life (Fr. Pavone) etc came to Ave Maria annually with our Bishop and the Schivo Family to pray on the anniversary of Terri’s death. (Be careful with Engels – she has no clue on this and doesn’t live in FL either.) Before you believe lies, check out the separate web sites for the Town, for the University (which is one of the few recommended by the Newman Society), and then come and visit. Beautiful town, wonderful people, great students who care. One of the Nuns who is frequently on EWTN children’s programs teaches at the Catholic High School. It’s a good thing that I’m not in charge or I would sue Engels for slander and defamation. Defamation violates the FL Constitution. ( On a different topic to show you one example, Engels Life Organization is so radical and many times FALSE that even Planned Parenthood sued them and won $100 MILLION dollars in damages, and its pretty hard to defame PP with their murderous activities. Engels personal radical and distorted views are why many have nothing to do with her organzation, and instead join other Pro-life groups like Priests for Life, Susan B. Anthony, 40 Days for Life, etc.) I’m not aware of any mostly Catholic Town in all of California, are you? You guys are the ones who elect evil. |

Although she is not always wrong (no one is always wrong), Engels is off the wall sometimes, especially when she does not investigate properly for accuracy. That is why people don’t join her organization any more like they used to – too many errors. Ave Maria is a great town, and Catholic for the most part. I know the Bishop of this Diocese very well, and he never banned anything at the Ave Maria Oratory. Satan – the father of lies – does not like Ave Maria and will do whatever he can to tarnish it – even using Engels to print falsehoods. |
Posted Friday, March 02, 2012 2:37 AM By Lois of FL
Although originally doing a good job for many years, in the past several years, Ms. Engels has relied on statements which are hearsay, unsubstantiated, sensationalized or attributed to someone’s testimony which she takes verbatim. This is not good investigative reporting due to her lack of documentation, and causes great harm to the pro-life cause not to mention her own reputation. No such false allegations have taken place between our Bishop and Ave Maria. |

Well, JLS, there is all the local news that keeps us subscribing to it…all the births, deaths, school lunch menus, and of course,the myriad political scandals like we have going right now. Also, they carry a Church section each week that lets a pastor write an outreach sermon, local church news etc. Our priest wrote a good article on the importance of observing fasting and alms giving during Lent…something this mostly protestant town does not do. Also, there are some really good letters to the editor, like the one written yesterday by a local Baptist minister who strongly objected to the recent healthcare mandate…it was almost written like a state seceding from the union. Many of our fellow Christians are really upset by what is going on…they must be watching Fox news? |

Ted and all those in Indiana, I hope you are all okay. Our prayers are with you here in California. I do not know which is worse tornados or earthquakes. I guess I will stick with what I have now since my property has St. Benedict medals buried at the four cornors asking his intecession against earthquakes, and, believe me, I try not to use them superstitiously. I try to behave myself. |
