The following comes from a December 17 Mercator.net article by Carolyn Moynihan:
The mainstreaming of “gay marriage” has been accompanied by frank admissions that the majority of gay relationships are not monogamous but at best “monogamish”. Can “plural marriage” be far behind?
In America, surviving Mormon polygamists provide a (illegal) precedent. Polyamorists, who (so far) define themselves by “love” rather than marriage, have been arguing the merits of their lifestyle and their rights for some years now, and the movement will hold its fifth international conference at the University of California, Berkeley, in February.
According to a chatty mailout from Saturnia Regna to “polylegal” groups, the International Conference on the Future of Monogamy and Nonmonogamy (official name) will focus on academic presentations, but there will also be presentations on:
* “dealing with jealousy, communication issues, relationship skills, STDs, and other practical issues.”
* Folklore/Mythology/Media studies, and another session devoted to historical/humanities studies as well.
Also, independent of the conference:
* an art exhibition on the theme of consensual nonmonogamy
* impromptu meetings (in previous years BAY Area poly, tantra, BDSM etc groups) potlucks, cuddle parties, and jealousy management classes…
And, not least, political training:
The political conclave and sessions related to poly-activism are all happening on Sunday (FEB 14). The Political session is being run as a distinct event through a separate website and has a separate registration fee, but it happens nearby on the same weekend. We are still recruiting presenters for this section, so if you have an interest in participating or assisting with the construction of this event, please do contact us ASAP.
All in all, it looks like a comprehensive effort to build a united movement with its own science, history, mythology and political programme.
The science will, no doubt, include studies on how well children are doing in households with more than two “parents”, where jealousy is always an issue, threatening the stability of the household and the security of the children. Perhaps it will also tell us the rates of STDs and complications among polyamorists, and rates of change in household composition.
Marxists win all California state-wide elected offices, then they get homosexual marriages legalized by Anthony Kennedy, then they convince useful idiots about the Global Warming swindle, then they feint on Caitlyn Jenner transsexuals and now they are going with adultery. First as French Revolution Freemasons and then as Marxists the enemies of Christianity relentlessly seek a radical transformation of our social norms. Catholics should avoid these agents of change for they are doing the work of the Devil.
“Catholics should avoid these agents of change for they are doing the work of the Devil.”
Gratias, Excellent post!

This is similar to the immoral, immature, anti-society, dope/rock “music”/”free” sex hippie communes, of the 1960’s. Filthy, stinking, immature, lazy bunch of bums, wanting a “free ride,” with NO RESPONSIBILITY and NO RESPECT FOR MORAL DECENCY!! Do these stupid people state that they “love” their sex partners? OF COURSE NOT!! If you truly love someone– you will truly want, with all your heart– to be MORALLY RESPONSIBLE, to the “prince” or “princess” you profess to love, with all your heart!! You will naturally want to give them your VERY BEST!! Sooner or later, these selfish, babyish “hippie bums,” will hopefully wake up to the concept of MATURITY, RESPECT FOR OTHERS, and MORAL RESPONSIBILITY!!
By calling people stupid and “Filthy, stinking, immature, lazy bunch of bums”, you prove that you have yet to achieve the maturity and respect for others you so boisterously promote.
Not at all Anon, sometimes the truth just hurts like Hell….these people are vermin who have ripped the culture to pieces.. you obviously have no problem with sexual anarchy
Love God. Love your neighbor.
You are not required to love evil……you lose
Good. I don’t have to be nice to you then, Canisius.
No, but you do have to love sinful people.
Sorry. I should not have jumped into the conversation, especially using the anonymous default. I apologize for that. Not good at dialogue, even worse at “trialogue.” I ‘ll keep my nose out of your business. God bless you.
Anon no I don’t……
Not to intrude upon your use of your free will but,of course, we must counsel the doubtful and remind them that, as a Christian, you are supposed to love all people, even those whose sins you find repugnant. Just like Jesus.
Wrong Anon your pro-homo tactics will not work, these so called people are defying the will God, the Logos they are enemies Christ and reject Him in totality. We are not obliged to love those who utterly reject Christ and defy His will, yes we can counsel them but we are not obliged to love those who reject that counsel
Pro-homo? What does this have to do with homosexuality?
And yes, we are supposed to love them and offer sacrifices for them.. Just like Jesus. (“Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they do.” Just like Mary, the refuge of sinners.
Linda Maria, do you find it just impossible to disagree with the admittedly erroneous moral views of some people, without demeaning and demonizing them in the process???
Satanic sexual anarchist, but to people like YFC and C&H they are just born this way.
Canisius, I have not commented on this post, so please leave me out of it, and stop putting words in my mouth. I never EVER said that polyamorists are “just born this way”. You COMPLETELY made that up. I don’t think C&H ever said that either. If you find it within your Christian faith to lie about what people say and do, please by all means, follow your religion. But a a lie is still a lie, and in my Roman Catholic faith, it is a sin.
Oh dear! …Canisius…you assume wrong here. I believe in monogomy for myself and everyone else! Believe me, if do ever find “Ms. Right”, there will be no “third parties”
female or male!
Lay off Canisius folks. He was born that way. And by the way, according to my Catholic faith, a man is supposed to marry a woman. Other kinds of unions are a sin, but that is not stopping you guys from supporting different kinds of unions. Hypocrites.
This stuff seems like old news by California standards. When are they going to have a parade that glorifies men who are sexually attracted to meat grinders? Perhaps they can have a joint parade with people who are transabled.
Yucky….If you want to have these kinds of thoughts please keep them to yourself.
Sewage sex is pretty yucky too. But that does not stop your crowd from promoting unions that are consummated with sewage sex as if sewage sex can be just as noble as cooperating with God to welcome new people into the world. Why don’t you keep your sewage sex activism to yourself? People don’t want to be forced by the government to accept something that is so nasty and stinks to high heaven. So much so that heaven rained down fire and brimstone upon the Sodomites.
Meat Grinders ???/ ha ha ha ha ha that was a good one my man… yes their crowd demands we accept their perversions which is why I try to avoid NYC on the weekends during gay shame month aka gay “pride”month…its generally hell on earth… May Our Lord Jesus Christ’s wrath visit us soon
This people are nuts. I used to work with a woman who was a polyamorist. She was very dysfunctional and her children suffered immensely because of her beliefs and behavior. Many of these people are in a denial about how their “lifestyle” impacts them and their families! Jesus have mercy on us all!
