More Common Core

A Good Mandate Is Hard to Find While the Hill is knee-deep in the President's latest disgraces, conservatives are focused on another White House scandal: the HHS mandate. Benghazi, the IRS, NSA,EPA, and DOJ may hog all the headlines,but the four-year drumbeat against the White House's war on religious liberty goes on. For most Americans, time hasn't dulled the outrage over employers' forced participation in the President's sexual agenda. No amount of sound bites or accounting gimmicks seems to have softened voters' stance on the greatest attack on conscience rights our nation has ever seen. In fact, the needle has barely budged on people's opposition to the mandate, which orders organizations, businesses, even faith-based groups to pay for pills or procedures that violate their beliefs. Our latest survey, commissioned nationally just last week through WPA Opinion, shows a strong majority of Americans aren't buying the administration's talking points on the debate… WPA's conclusion is a blunt one for candidates this November: "There is broad opposition to the health care mandate... Democrats should be wary about being on the wrong side of this issue as voters that typically support them tend to oppose the mandate."

Dale O’Leary, author of “One Man, One Woman, A Catholic’s Guide to Defending Marriage”, (available at Shower of Roses in W.Boylston), has written a well-researched, thorough and compassionate defense of our Church’s teaching that marriage is a life-long union between one man and one woman. I continue quoting from this work to assist our outreach to our brothers and sisters who have Same-Sex Attraction, SSA. “There have been no replicated scientific studies proving that SSA is biologically predetermined and unchangeable; no studies showing that it is unchangeable. Those who nonetheless promote the myth of the ‘gay gene’ or claim that science has shown SSA to be genetically determined, often reference two studies, one done by Simon LeVay and the other by Dean Hamer, both self-identified gay men.” “In 1991, LeVay calimed to have discovered small differences between the brains of men with SSA and those without. However, LeVay had studied the brain tissue of men who had died of AIDS, and the HIV virus is known to affect the brain…LeVay has since quietly given up research in this area and backed away from the claim that his flawed study proves SSA to be genetically determined.” “In 1993, Hamer and his associates published an article in which they claimed to have found a ‘linkage between DNA markers on the X chromosome and male sexual orientation’ (Science 261 1993:321-327)…If Hamer had been correct in his conclusion that a particular genetic marker is more common in men with SSA, then anyone who replicated his experiment should have come up with similar results. Yet when a research team conducted the same tests several years later using a larger sample, they did not find a common marker. They concluded that the evidence ‘did not support an X-linked gene underlying male homosexuality.(George Rice, Science 284, 663-667)”
