Smart Meters not too bright

Something interesting has happened.

Although not well publicised, a Supreme Court decision has exposed a weakness in McGuinty's Smart Meters.
Recently the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Calgary police had the right to collect details of any customers electricity use to determine if they were growing marijuana. They don't need a search warrant any more.
However, as one of the dissenting judges said, "it is an incremental but ominous step toward the erosion of the right to privacy." They continued to say that a reasonable person wouldn't expect details of electronic use which can detect when a person goes to bed, does chores, etc. to be handed over to another party.
The police had used a 'digital recording ammeter' (DRA) to get a detailed printout of power consumption in a home.
As it turns out a DRA is a smart meter, which has been installed on millions of homes in McGuinty's Ontario.
The Ontario privacy commissioner warned that 'privacy is the smart grid's sleeper issue' because they can reveal a lot about a person's lifestyle, from the time they turn their lights on in the morning until they turn them off at night.

As much as we want to get rid of the handful of marijuana growers, is it worth this invasion of our privacy? More importantly, what was the real motivation of the liberal government by installing these expensive 'smart meters'?
We surely didn't need them and they are clearly another invasion of our privacy.

Enviro-mental fees

Fed up yet? Do something about it.

The Ontario McGuinty government put a recycling and environmental fee on most electronics, cleaning products and other merchandise this year. He temporarily dropped the recycling fee because of public pressure. Some businesses hide the fees in the product.
Our houses look like garbage dumps on the inside and animals tear apart our waste on the outside. We already pay for recycling, multi-million dollar dumps and garbage disposal. Why should we pay twice?? Plus tax!!
Are you fed up yet?
There are three simple things you can do to stop this raid on your wallet:

1- Copy the following letter or make your own and give it to any business you deal with.

2- Don't buy these products unless you really need to.

3- Pass this email on to anyone, anywhere you can.

Rest assured the businesses won't sit on their hands while their sales drop. We need them to put pressure on the government. Put the internet to work for you and watch the results.




To: Staples, Wal-Mart, The Source, Zellers, The Bay, Home Depot and all other businesses.

Dear Manager/Owner,

The Ontario government added a recycle & environmental fee to the price of your merchandise this year and you passed it and the HST on to us consumers. After public pressure, Premier McGuinty temporarily dropped the recycle fee but he still demands the environmental fee.
As consumers, who have to earn our money, we are fed up. We already pay for recycling, multi-million dollar waste stations, garbage disposal and our houses all look like garbage dumps, inside and out, while we try to appease the garbage police.
We know it's not your fault but from now on my family, friends and neighbours will not be buying any products from you that have these fees. Even if you hide the fees we will know which products have them.
This email/letter is being sent all across Ontario by taxpayers like us. We are fed up!

Your signature, address and phone number.

Pass it on!

Cowboy days and upright ways.

What went wrong?

Most of the western novels written before 1970 have no porn or swearing and the guy that had a high moral code always won the battles. Remember when TV was like that?
I was just reading a western about a cowboy who was walking through a lonely mining camp, operated mostly, by men. He described what he saw; " There were, of course, many dogs running loose in the camp and he supposed that the workers, womanless and without families, picked up a dog as a substitute for the affection of humans."
I don't know if it was me or because I had read so many sick emails about the way our society is today but I had to read that sentence again until the truth came to me. This was written at a time when homosexuality and bestiality were as foreign as women wearing men's clothing.
It's a testament against our times that if that same sentence were written in a book today, we would know they were talking about sex with dogs instead of the natural affection we all need in our lives which the author meant it to mean.
How far down we have come.

We Need To Stop Feeding These Lazy Feminists.

Canada's debt is $500 Billion! Why do we continue to pay for liberal agendas?

Women’s Shelters are found throughout Canada. There are an estimated 550 of them across the land and they are represented in every province and territory.

Canada’s Budget to keep these shelters operational is $377 million annually (Stascan 2005-2006)

In 2008 the percentage of abused women reporting domestic violence by male partner = 8%

In 2008 percentage of abused men reporting domestic violence by female partner =7 %

Number of Shelters for abused Men in Canada = 1 (privately run. In Alberta)

Canada’s budget for men’s shelters = $ 0

TD bank wastes your money.

To The Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank:
Toronto-Dominion Centre

It is beyond my understanding how a major Canadian institution like the TD Bank can give financial support to the public display of nudity and sexual acts performed on the streets of Toronto during the 'Gay parade.'
Only a sick mind would think that encouraging drug use, promiscuity and a deadly form of sexual narcissism is a project worth supporting.
I can speak for my family and friends to say that we will not be using the TD Bank services in the future but we hope you and your children enjoy the porn. you promote.



Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Pride Toronto, particularly the annual Pride Parade, has played and continues to play an important, some might say historic, role in raising awareness of and creating visibility for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. In the five years that TD has been a sponsor of Pride Week activities including the Parade, we have at times, been criticized for our involvement and support of such an event.

Our rationale for our sponsorship has not changed: to promote and celebrate diversity in communities where our valued customers, clients and employees live and work.

We have seen Pride Toronto deal with its share of controversy. Pride's roots are, of course, political. The most recent example of which you are aware: pressure to exclude certain LGBT activist political groups from participating in the Pride Parade, and pressure to protect freedom of expression and allow the participation of any and all LGBT groups.

This is not the first time that TD has been asked as a sponsor to withdraw, or threaten to withdraw our support from Pride Toronto. We have chosen not to withdraw our support and also not to dictate the terms of that support. We recognize that this is a very sensitive issue with strongly held and opposing views within and beyond the LGBT community.

We have confidence in Pride Toronto and in the broader LGBT community that both groups will find a way to move forward on this issue, as they have on other sensitive issues in the past.

We hope this information is helpful. Please contact us again with any additional questions you may have.

Regards,

Rebecca

The End of Catholic Education

Equity Training for Ontario Catholic Boards: Homosexuality ‘Normal’, ‘Natural’


By Patrick B. Craine

TORONTO, Ontario, June 29, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The majority of Ontario’s Catholic education establishment has backed the Ontario Ministry of Education’s equity and inclusive education strategy, even where it mandates “equity” based on sexual orientation, on the basis that the Catholic Church has always emphasized equity and inclusivity.

But as the Catholic boards prepare to implement their new “equity” policies this fall, it would appear that they are not only being trained to welcome homosexual people, but also to endorse homosexual behavior. As a LifeSiteNews analysis of the equity strategy published today explains, one of the key “equity” experts being brought into Catholic boards is actually teaching that equity involves accepting the homosexual lifestyle itself.

Chris D’Souza, former Equity and Diversity Officer of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic School Board, travels the province promoting equity in schools, and has given over 1400 workshops on this topic in the last eight years. He leads the Equity Summit Group and served as a member of the ministry’s ad hoc committee for developing the equity strategy.

An educator for 17 years, he has given his presentations in over a dozen Catholic boards across the province.

In one such presentation, D’Souza defines “heterosexism” - which he says must be eliminated - as “the assumption that everyone is or should be heterosexual and that heterosexuality is the only normal, natural sexual orientation.” That presentation can be found on the Ottawa Catholic school board’s website.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, on the other hand, calls homosexual inclinations “objectively disordered,” and calls those with such tendencies to chastity. Homosexual acts, the Catechism states further, are “acts of grave depravity,” and “under no circumstances can they be approved” (2357-2359).

In the same presentation, D’Souza urges teachers to stay on top of the most current “politically correct” language. “As Educators, You have a moral obligation to engage in politically correct and inclusive language in EVERY conversation you are a part of,” he insists. In this vein, he explains the acronym LGBTQQIAA, listing and defining the appropriate word for each form of homosexuality or homosexualism.

As part of the equity strategy, the ministry is requiring all boards, Catholic and public, to explicitly endorse the Ontario Human Rights Code and revise all board practices in accordance with it. Pro-family groups and individuals have objected, however, because the Code recognizes “sexual orientation” as a ground for non-discrimination, which they say will lead to the outright normalization of homosexual behavior.

Many are also concerned by the fact that in January a spokesperson for the ministry refused to state whether Catholic schools would continue to be able to teach the Catholic beliefs on homosexuality as laid out in the Catechism. This despite the fact that the new strategy was developed in conjunction with the Catholic constituency, including the Ontario bishops’ own Institute for Catholic Education.

Today's LSN analysis emphasizes that the homosexualist movement, which is agressively pushing the "equity" policies, “is not at all about tolerance and as the old adage puts it, to simply ‘live and let live.’” Instead, the movement is “intolerant, inequitable and un-inclusive. … It is an aggressive, radical propagandist machine … that is forcing its agenda into the sanctity of everyone’s home, into the youngest of children’s classrooms and now even into your Church, Synagogue and Mosque.”

This is the final result of too many liberals in our Catholic school system for too many years.

Your Home Is Their Castle

Big Brother Makes His Move

We live in strange times with contrary leadership. Most of us pay our taxes, directly or indirectly, to our municipalities to maintain reasonable services so we can have the freedom to enjoy the privacy and protection of our property rights. Our military veterans fought and died to protect them. Some people want to take that away.
As if it wasn’t bad enough for the provincial liberals to invade our wallets continually with user fees, environmental fees and punishing taxes, now they want to allow strangers to invade our homes and some townships are actually helping them.
The township of Petawawa council is about to pass a bylaw that would allow municipal employees to enter our homes under the feeble excuse of “upholding employee’s right to do their job...” I’m sure most of the townships employees are honest and upright so this back-door bylaw complaint isn’t against them.
If you think this piece of legislation is going to be restricted to building and fire inspections you haven’t been paying attention to the direction of liberal politics these past years. Guess who’ll be coming next year to inspect your trees, water, pets and anything else they want to ‘regulate’
In Renfrew County we’ve been hammered continuously with business and property regulations by provincial dictators and this single piece of legislation, which opens the doors to all sorts of abuse, is another example of the tyrants of Toronto’s Queens Park liberal agenda. How any rural municipality could even consider it is very telling to which side of the tracks they stand. This isn’t about complying with provincial legislation. It’s about rolling over and playing dead instead of protecting our rural rights.
The municipal elections are coming up this October so it might be a good time now to find out, once and for all, where your own council plants its feet. Our municipalities need to stand together and send the message to Queens Park that This Land Is Our Land- Back Off Government.

Militant homosexual agenda in schools

'Militant' gay agenda seen in new sex course
Plans On Hold; Conservative Christians call for student boycott

Charles Lewis, National Post; With Files From Canwest News Service

Getty Images Files
The social conservative leaders who led the charge against Ontario's now-postponed overhaul of the province's sex-education curriculum were among many who had complaints about the explicit nature of some of the subject matter, and the young age of some of the children who would be taught it.

But the leaders went a lot further with their concerns, charging the reforms were part of a larger political agenda to make homosexuality more acceptable to society and to influence young children to "practise" homosexuality.

Charles McVety and Brian Rushfeldt, both representing conservative Christian groups, raised warnings this week about Ontario's new Health and Physical Education Curriculum for Grades 1-8, saying it would corrupt children and society. They were calling for a one-day boycott of students and a massive demonstration at Queen's Park.

But yesterday, Dalton Mc-Gunity, the Ontario Premier, said he was putting the plan on hold for further study.

The new plan, which would have come into effect in September, would have introduced discussions about gender identity and same-sex relationships in Grade 3, masturbation in Grade 6 and the dangers of oral, vaginal and anal sex in Grade 7, as well as descriptions of safe-sex practices.

Mr. McVety, president of Canada Christian College in Toronto, said the curriculum must be seen in the larger context of liberal social engineering. "It's not about this curriculum, it's about changing the culture in our schools, Mr. McVety said. "We warned the country about this when same-sex marriage came in. We changed the laws in this country, redefined marriage, the end result now this is coming into our classrooms.

"This is part of a militant homosexual agenda to normalize homosexuality in everyone's mind and thereby promote homosexuality. If we teach our children these things ... guess what? That's what they'll practice."

A number of religious groups -- from Catholics to evangelical Christians -- have also raised concerns about the new curriculum, though few have been as vocal as Mr. Mc-Vety and Mr. Rushfeldt in suggesting it would bring social corruption.

"This was an attempt to shape society and young minds," said Mr. Rushfeldt, of the Calgary-based Canada Family Action Coalition. "And to shift society away from the concept of male-female and husband-wife. They want to make society believe that two men and two women having sex is normal."

Mr. Rushfeldt and others also pointed out that introducing "gender identity" -- the idea that someone look like one sex on the outside but feel like the opposite sex -- would create confusion and anxiety in young children. But Mr. Rushfeldt believed there was an additional agenda of indoctrination.

"They're trying to ingrain in children a concept that society has never accepted before and that's why they're looking to children. Clearly they are trying to teach children so they can shape them at a young age."

However, a spokesman for the Ministry of Education said this week that the subject of gender identity was simply a way to help students understand the world around them.

"This is not a how-to," Michelle Despault said. "This is not teaching kids a way of being. This is teaching kids information they need to know for their health and well-being. So the expectation is to understand differences and what makes different people unique.

"Some of those differences in our society are around sexual orientation."

Questions about the teaching of homosexuality in classroomsareparticularly sensitive in Catholic schools, and there was controversy this week over whether they would have had to follow the new plan.

Mr. McGuinty said that Catholic schools in Ontario would have had to follow the new curriculum as written. However, the Ontario Association of Catholic Bishops stated that Catholic schools have the constitutional right to rewrite any policy that goes against Catholic teaching. That idea was also confirmed by a spokesman for the Ministry of Education earlier in the week.

Sister Joan Cronin, of the Institute for Catholic Education, which helps shape Catholic teaching across the province, said Catholic schools already have a teaching on homosexuality, which is taught in Grade 8.

The Catholic Catechism does teach that homosexual behaviour is "objectively disordered" but she said that concept is too complex to be introduced to students.

"What we say is that every person, gay or straight, is created in the image of God and deserves respect. But while the Church supports gay people it does not support homosexual acts or lifestyles."

She did not believe that the province had an agenda or ulterior motives for presenting the new curriculum.

"I have great regard for the educators at the Ministry of Education. I would say from their point of view they would have widely researched the topics and received vast research before they would design that program. The would have done it with the best research available."

Give us a break Sr.Cronin. They knew exactly what they were doing with the best homosexual propaganda available.
We need to take a good hard look at the Inst. for Catholic Education and the liberal board that serves it.

Tax Glutton Liberals

Tax Glutton Liberals



The elderly lady was walking in the park when she sat down on the bench beside a man wearing an army uniform. His legs were twitching up and down continually so she asked him what had happened to him. He said his nerves were injured while serving in the army. She gave him her sympathy and walked on when she saw another man in an air force uniform and he was shaking his head back and forth while frothing at the mouth. She sat beside him and asked what had happened to him. He said that he got injured while serving in the air force. Finally she walked on and came upon a man in a navy uniform who was shaking his arm and hand vigorously. Right away she asked him, “Did you get that in the navy young man?” ‘No” he answered, “I got it in my nose and I can’t get the darn thing off my finger!”
That’s the way most rural people feel about the McGuinty liberals who keep getting elected by big cities, union employees, city journalists and special interest elitists. We just can’t seem to shake their dictating policies and taxes off of us.
Hydro just announced another rate increase. While we’ve all been paying for the huge hydro debt, McGuinty went shopping and borrowed another billion dollars to pay for his unneeded ‘Smart Meters’. He’s pouring our money into Green Energy which costs more to produce that it’s worth while he creates more useless, high paying, green jobs for his friends. With the beginning of his ‘Time-of-Use’ power prices and HST this summer, we will all be paying much more for our hydro and heating fuel. And it doesn’t stop there.
McGuinty’s liberals have added ‘environmental levees’ to many of our consumer items. Whenever you purchase any oil products, you pay a levy (plus tax) and you pay a $5.00 disposal levy (plus tax) when you get an oil change on your vehicle. If you can afford it, that big screen TV is going to have a $50.00 levy (plus tax) and eventually all our consumer items will have this green levy (plus tax). Lets not mention the continual user fees he adds for services.
This tax glut, at our expense, will set up the liberals for the next election when they can promise all the unions easy settlements and greeners all the money they want to invade rural people with more environmental and species at risk laws and fines.
Provincially and federally the liberals are finished in most rural areas mostly because they only speak to the cities and punish the rural. The wide gap between the well off and the poor here is displayed by who’s licking McGuinty’s pink slippers and who isn’t.
The challenge now is for the provincial conservatives to create fiscal and social policies that reflect real conservative values because right now there’s almost no difference between the red and blue. Better yet, create a new party like the Family Coalition Party with real family values.
The only environmental problem rural Ontario has is the green fog that hovers over Toronto politics and I can’t see anything changing until people get off their butts and demand a change from the people they hire in government.

Ontario schools promote homosexuality

Mandatory Curriculum for Ontario Schools Promotes Homosexuality, Masturbation

TORONTO, Ontario, March 1, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – As of next year, Grade 6 students in Ontario’s publicly-funded schools can expect to be taught that masturbation “is common and is not harmful and is one way of learning about your body,” according to a newly-revised curriculum document released by the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry put out its new Health and Physical Education curriculum for grades 1 to 8 in January, and a spokesperson has confirmed to LifeSiteNews (LSN) that the new curriculum will be mandatory for all schools, Catholic and public, in September 2010. The high school curriculum will be released this spring, and will be mandatory as of September 2011. At this point, it is unclear, however, whether Catholic schools are to be forced into teaching elements that violate Catholic teaching.
The new curriculum, replacing a previous version from 1998, aligns with the Ministry’s campaign to promote “equity and inclusive education” in Ontario’s schools, which includes the advancement of homosexualism and transgenderism. A notable aspect of the curriculum’s revision is the attempt to instil a sense that homosexuality and transgenderism are perfectly normal.
The document includes curriculum expectations, which teachers are required to address, accompanied by sample teacher prompts and student responses that are meant “to indicate the content and scope of intended learning.”
Students begin to explore “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in grade 3, as part of an expectation to appreciate “invisible differences” in others. A desired response has the eight-year-old student recognizing that “some [families] have two mothers or two fathers.”
In grade 5, a student is expected to recognize that “things I cannot control include … personal characteristics such as … my gender identity [and] sexual orientation.”
In addition to learning about masturbation, a grade 6 student response suggests that students can better understand “sexual orientation” by “reading books that describe various types of families and relationships,” including those involving two “mothers” or “fathers.” The response adds the suggestion that students use the word “partner” rather than “husband” or “wife” to avoid the assumption that all couples are of opposite sexes.
In grades 7 and 8, “preventing pregnancy and disease,” “gender identity,” and “sexual orientation” become “key topics.”
Grade 7s are expected to be taught about “using condoms consistently if and when a person becomes sexually active.” A response from the twelve-year-old states that “People who think they will be having sex sometime soon should keep a condom with them so they will have it when they need it.” Another response has the student stating that one should avoid “anal intercourse without a condom” to prevent HIV/AIDS.
In grade 8, the use of contraception is a key component of the curriculum, and students are expected to “demonstrate an understanding of gender identity (e.g., male, female, two-spirited, transgendered, transsexual, intersex) and sexual orientation (e.g., heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual).” A grade 8 student response states it is important to have “all gender identities and sexual orientations portrayed positively in the media, in literature, and in materials we use at school.”
Patricia MacNeil, a spokesperson for the Ministry, told LSN that the new curriculum is indeed mandatory for all Ontario schools, including the Catholic ones. She said that there was “extensive consultation” on the revision beginning in September 2007, which included teachers, staff, and administrators from the Catholic school system. She also confirmed that the Ontario bishops’ education arm, the Institute for Catholic Education (ICE), was involved in the process.
“The curriculum was certainly revised with Catholic educators and students needs in mind,” she wrote in an e-mail.
She explained that the Ministry establishes curriculum policy, and then the school boards are responsible for implementation. Teachers determine their approach to addressing the curriculum expectations laid out by the Ministry.
“Teachers design their lesson plans and present material in a manner that is open and respectful of various view points,” she wrote, “and it is expected that teachers in the Catholic education system will present the material in a manner that affirms the values of Catholic education.”
She explained further that “the ministry is working with [the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association] and ICE to provide teachers with resources to support the teaching of sensitive and challenging topics, including sexual health, gender identity, sexual orientation, and mental health.”
Given MacNeil’s statement that the material may be presented “in a manner that affirms the values of Catholic education,” LSN followed up by asking yesterday whether that means that Catholic schools do not have to teach about contraception and other activities that violate Catholic values. LSN has not received a response as of press time.
The potential that this curriculum would be forced on Catholic schools is exacerbated in light of LSN’s previous investigations into the Ministry’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy. Under this strategy, the Ministry is requiring all boards, including the Catholic ones, to develop an equity policy that recognizes “sexual orientation” as a protected ground for non-discrimination, as well as committing to fighting “homophobia.”
When LSN spoke with MacNeil in January, she refused to answer, after repeated questioning, whether the Catholic Catechism’s teaching that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered” and homosexual acts are “acts of grave depravity” (2357-2359) would be able to be taught in Catholic schools under the equity strategy.
The Institute for Catholic Education, the Catholic school boards, and other Catholic stakeholders have signed off on the equity strategy, believing that it would not disturb the teaching of authentic Catholic doctrine in Catholic schools.
But the Vatican has warned that protecting people from discrimination based on “sexual orientation” opens the door to outright promotion of homosexuality, and this new Health and Physical Education curriculum may, in fact, bear that out.
In 1992, while under the leadership of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith condemned the recognition of “sexual orientation” as comparable to immutable characteristics such as race and ethnicity. The statement affirmed that homosexuals should be granted the same rights as everyone else, but also emphasized that there can be just “discrimination” based on “sexual orientation,” regarding adoption or military recruitment, for example.
“The passage from the recognition of homosexuality as a factor on which basis it is illegal to discriminate can easily lead, if not automatically, to the legislative protection and promotion of homosexuality,” the document stated.
The Institute for Catholic Education was unavailable for comment.
See The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8: Health and Physical Education, 2010 (revised) (http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/health18curr2010.pdf).
The price of freedom…and good morals…is vigilence. The lack of it explains what you have just read.

Voting for the right people.

Lets get it right this time.

A local public high school was tossing out old books recently and I was able to salvage a 1925 Ontario Public School Health Book authorized by The Minister of Education. It was used in schools for several years as a guide for teachers and students for better health habits.
It expertly covered food, teeth care, digestion, circulation, exercise, respiration, fresh air, posture, bathing & cleanliness, clothing, eyesight, cheerfulness, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, germs, safety & first aid. It also had a section called 'Our link with the sea' which had nothing to do with evolution but was about salt and iodine intake to prevent goitre.
The book rightly never mentions sex, homosexuals or the diseases from loosely practicing them. It was assumed that if the students are following good mental and physical health practices, they won't have any abnormal sexual problems. It was also assumed that if a student did have a sexual problem they would take it up privately with their doctor instead of sharing it with the school. It was called discretion.
The book dealt with 'Brain Fag' which was simply an overworked, overtired brain. 'Communicable diseases' were ways to prevent cholera and diphtheria. The section on 'Dick Test' was about a test for scarlet fever and had nothing to do with Dick.
When they discussed 'diaphragms' it was about the floor of the chest cavity not a birth control method. And finally
'Waste Products' was not about recycling but rather the elimination of our bowels and preventing constipation.
They had something, back in 1925, that we don't have today; Common Good and Common Sense. They treated boys and girls equally in health matters. School boards knew their place was not in the indoctrination of other people's children. It was only when they started discussing sex in schools that children became over-interested and premiscuality and pregnancies mushroomed. Oh sure, there was always a small amount of girls getting pregnant but nothing like today's mess.
We can't bring back common decency overnight but we can and should get rid of the people who are pushing sex education programs that promote deviant lifestyles under the guise of condoms, equality and inclusiveness.
The only way to do that is to vote in politicians and school trustees who share your values. It's easy, just ask them.

Loyal Catholic nuns speak out.

Loyal Catholic nuns: speak out!
By Phil Lawler | January 22, 2010 4:48 PM


From Catholicculture.org

http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/otn.cfm?id=601

Earlier this month CWN reported on the widespread resistance mounted by American women’s religious orders against a Vatican apostolic visitation. But the resistance is far from universal. Some nuns, faithful to the Holy See and to the founding traditions of their own religious communities, are anxious to help.

Ann Carey, author of Sisters in Crisis: The Tragic Unraveling of Women’s Religious Communities, has set up a Yahoo Group that allows loyal Catholic nuns to contact each other, exchange news about their orders, and provide information to the Vatican—all while preserving their own anonymity.

Why, you might ask, would the good sisters want to remain anonymous? Because they live in communities dominated by radical feminism, and they fear reprisals if they dare to speak out in defense of Catholic tradition. That’s a measure of how thoroughly many religious orders have been corrupted by the spirit of the age. It’s also an indication of how urgent it is to provide some guidance for these communities—and, not incidentally, some support for the poor nuns (in most cases elderly) who are living through the chaos.

Learn more about Sisters Supporting Apostolic Visitation here. Perhaps you know a few nuns who should be introduced to the group.

Time for Catholic Schools to get out of the system?

Ontario Gov't Initiative Would Force Catholic Schools to Violate Church Teaching



By Patrick B. Craine

TORONTO, Ontario, January 7, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Ontario Ministry of Education has mandated that every school board in Ontario, Catholic and public, implement a new equity and inclusiveness policy by September 2010.

While the new initiative was devised with participation from the curriculum arm of the Ontario Bishops' Assembly, it nevertheless would force Ontario's Catholic school boards to recognize “sexual orientation” as a ground protected from discrimination. The Vatican has warned, however, that such a recognition is usually part and parcel with the outright promotion of homosexuality. One prominent Catholic commentator and priest has said that this is indeed the Ministry's aim.

The Ministry's new initiative, called the Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy, requires school boards to address areas such as religious accommodation and the prevention of discrimination, which includes combating “homophobia.”

The Ministry is allowing school boards latitude in adapting their equity policy to account for “local needs and circumstances,” and it is not clear to what extent school boards will be pressured to accept homosexuality at this point.

But the Ministry is requiring all boards, including those that are Catholic, to profess a commitment to uphold the Ontario Human Rights Code. “School board policies must be comprehensive and must cover the prohibited grounds of discrimination set out in the Ontario Human Rights Code,” reads the Policy/Program Memorandum.

The problem is that the Code recognizes “sexual orientation” as a prohibited ground for discrimination, and the Ministry is insisting that boards recognize and account for this aspect of the Code as well. But for Catholic school boards, recognizing “sexual orientation” in this way would mean standing in opposition to the Vatican.

When under the leadership of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a document entitled 'Some Considerations Concerning the Response to Legislative Proposals on the Non-Discrimination of Homosexual Persons.'

The CDF asserted that “'Sexual orientation' does not constitute a quality comparable to race, ethnic background, etc. in respect to non-discrimination. Unlike these, homosexual orientation is an objective disorder and evokes moral concern.”

The CDF insisted that homosexuals share the same rights as everyone else, including the right to respect based on their intrinsic dignity as persons. But they also warned that legally enshrining “sexual orientation” in this way “can easily lead to regarding homosexuality as a positive source of human rights,” even though “there is no right to homosexuality.”

Recognizing homosexuality as a prohibited ground for discrimination, they said further, “can easily lead, if not automatically, to the legislative protection and promotion of homosexuality.”

According to Fr. Alphonse de Valk, the editor of Canada’s Catholic Insight magazine, Ontario Education Minister Kathleen Wynne “is going headlong against the teaching of the Church” by forcing Catholic schools to recognize sexual orientation.

“The minister herself is a lesbian, so we have the person at the top using her position to promote her own views on the grounds of giving [homosexuality] a disguise of it being a human right, but in fact it's not a human right at all,” he continued. “The legal independence of the Catholic school system, of course, is very well constitutionally founded, so the Minister will have a difficult task, legally speaking, of imposing that on the Catholic schools.”

“I assume that the bishops will put up a vigorous fight and reject it as contrary to the interests of the Catholic community,” he said.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, who appointed Wynne, is a Catholic and has consistently acted against Catholic moral principles without any significant public rebuke or consequence from any of the province's bishops.
