Gay Bloc MP Tells Catholic Bishop Christian Marriage Teaching is Morality of the “Flintstones”

Unk! Must light fire! Get skins for winter! Where woman!

What? Me talk like caveman? Well, Me must be one!

Menard say so.

After all, anyone that believes Catholic and Christian teaching on marriage adhere to “stone age” morality:

Responding to the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops' statement that laws must be in accord with natural law and reason, Menard, a self-confessed active homosexual, accused Archbishop Marcel Gervais of Ottawa of adhering to "“stone age" morality.

Menard said that the insistence that marriage be linked to the raising of children is an idea "“from the time of the Flintstones."

The Reasonable Bloc Quebecois MP of Canada has no problem insulting Archbishops and anyone else that dares get in the way of the one thing that matters. Archbishop Gervais gave a measured and Foolish response:

Gervais told the committee that laws must respect the "order inscribed in nature. Once laws contradict this natural order, they become unjust," the Archbishop said. "They then risk creating division and dissension, and so breed social disorder." Archbishop Gervais has been among the tiny number of Bishops in Canada to have publicly supported their colleague, Calgary'’s Bishop Fred Henry, who is currently fighting a Human Rights Tribunal complaint over his comments supporting Catholic teaching on homosexuality.

Apparently the right to circumvent the meaning of marriage trumped others' right to religious freedom. Catholics are apparently as free to believe in their teaching as they like as long as they keep it to themselves. At least, until the Boot-Stompers kick in the door. Just ask Dominic Tse, Chinese-Canadian representative of the Jubilee Centre for Christian Social Action:

"My son came to me one day saying that last year their class took a vote on same sex marriage,” Tse said. “I asked him being my son, what did you vote. He said he didn't vote. Why not? '‘Because I'm scared for my life.'"

In light of the proven spuriousness of Liberal Party assurances that religious freedoms would not be curtailed by the bill, Gervais asked the committee how the federal government would ensure that Canadians, not just religious officials, would be protected from anti-religious discrimination. Gyapong writes that the MP'’s "“seemed deaf to repeated arguments that religious freedom was already under attack in Canada."

"Will those who believe in the historical definition of marriage henceforth be victims of discrimination?" Gervais asked

If only the Fools would be Reasonable, the Reasonable say. "Now", they mutter to themselves, "we'll have to make them reasonable."
