To all the Catholics on my f-list - Non-Catholics, stay the Hell away or you WILL be offended

There is a priest in Boulder, Colorado, who is under vicious, systematic, directed attack because he is keeping the teachings of the Church and the orders of his Bishop. I have some experience of how it feels like to be at the wrong (or is it?) end of the kind of vile hatred that is being directed at this man. So I tell the Catholics and Christians on my f-list: follow this link and do what it says - http://wdtprs.com/blog/2010/03/to-arms-denver-priest-attacked-for-being-obedient-poll-alert/ - and then go to the priest's own blog and register a personal message of support. While a good man has enough in himself to stand up for the Church even to martyrdom - and to be fair, that does not yet seem to be the case here - anyone who is subjected to hundreds of direct sexually explicit threats can do with kind words from a distant country.

The assault on the Christian doctrine of sexuality is something more and more serious than the assault on the sacrament of marriage. It is on an intellectual plane, not on a plane of mere lust, that it is Satanic: it is a denial that our being born of flesh and blood has anything to do with our nature. If shagging anything in sight does not affect our nature, then sexual division is not significant to our nature, and this contradicts the Bible and the Church: Let us make Man in our resemblance - Male and Female He created them - That which God has put together let no man take asunder. And if our body has no ultimate significance for our nature, why were we promised resurrection of the flesh?
