(Excerpts from The Ft. Worth Star Telegram 7/17/98)

The Rev. David Garri, an openly homosexual Catholic priest recently resigned his position of assistant professor of communication and theater at Notre Dame, a university that has come to symbolize the Roman Catholic Church in the United States.

One of the reasons for Garrick's resignation is his claim that his nameplate was removed from the confessional. "I felt that I had a strong moral reason for resigning in protest…" he said.

The Rev. John Jenkins, religious superior for the Holy Cross order at Notre Dame, insists Garrick was never discriminated against because of his sexual orientation, which Garrick announced in an April 1996 letter in the school newspaper.

As a private university, Notre Dame has no obligation to include homosexuals in its nondiscrimination policy or do anything that would conflict with church teaching. The Catholic church has stood firm to its teaching that homosexual activity is morally wrong even though sexual orientation is not freely chosen.

That is why the university should have embraced Garrick, rather than shut him out, said John Blandford, a doctoral student and former co-chair of the student group "Gays and Lesbians at Notre Dame and St. Mary's College".

"David, in a sense, should be the poster child for the university because he embodies church teaching, which is acknowledging orientation but living a chaste life," Blandford said. "That's basically the sum and substance of church teaching. What's interesting is the university couldn't even handle his orientation."

"The track record of the leadership is very poor. But the awakening consciousness of the students and faculty is wonderful. Inspiring," Garrick said. "I believe it will help Notre Dame, the Notre Dame that I know and love, to speak the truth about gay people.

. The Roman Church will soon determine that, as she already teaches sexual orientation is not a free choice, then-if not a choice, it must be ordained of God. Now-if ordained of God it must NOT be sin. This is how the world will be conditioned to accept the anti-christ who will not regard the desire of women. (Dan 11:37)

They have a right to remain silent, anything they say can be used in a court of law against them. Sodomy is still against the law!!!

It is a crime!!!!!!

If someone admits to this act, they should be arrested immediately!!! This repulsive act of is only the beginning of Satanic practices that queers do... They will wax worse and worse, just like the Bible says they will do.... God gave them over to a reprobate mind.... That is the genetic connection.... They still don't have to be queers... it is still a CHOICE... Some people live a life style using drugs like LSD and marijuana, so do we give them the freedom just because they want a certain life style? They would claim their weakness for those things is in their genes, and we should be sympathetic to them.... Where does this kind of thing stop? Standing for Lord Jesus Christ and His eternal words of eternal life, web site: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

The following article makes a claim that scientists have "proven" that homosexuals have different fingerprints from straights. I'm not making any judgment regarding the following post. But, if distinctions can be made between any "classes" of members of society by differences in their fingerprints, wouldn't fingerprinting then potentially open the door wide for discrimination? What if distinctions can be made for race or sexual gender by differences in fingerprints. Think about a driver's license database that can be used to group and classify segments of the population into categories of race, gender, and sexual preference using fingerprint data..

Sci/Tech Sexuality shown by thumbprints say scientists First it was the so-called "gay gene" and now scientists say they have proof homosexuals have different fingerprints. > >Professor Richard Green,<< from London's Charing Cross Hospital, says gay men have significantly fewer ridges on their right thumbs than heterosexual men. The inference is that a gene, responsible at least in part, for shaping fingerprints also, somehow, has a role in determining sexual orientation.

The discovery, made after extensive comparisons of the prints of gay and "straight" men, is likely to reignite the age-old argument about whether sexual orientation is predestined or not. It also raises the prospect of a genetic test for homosexuality and the question of whether parents, or society, should be allowed to take any action based on such information. Science journalist Chandler Burr, himself a gay man, is the author of "A Separate Creation: How Biology Makes Us Gay". He says the study provides further ammunition to those, like him, who claim sexual orientation is predestined at birth. Mr Burr says it is clear homosexuality is an inborn instinct and not a "frivolous lifestyle" which was chosen at whim. He says not all people with gay orientations choose to "come out" and some stay in their "closets" all their lives. Anya Palmer, from the gay and lesbian rights group Stonewall, says the question of whether an individual's homosexuality is innate or imported is irrelevant. She says it is more important to make sure all homosexuals' human rights are protected. ********************************************** ============================================================================================================================================ ~~~pretty lace for pretty boys ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
