Courtesy of the second most Catholic state in the Union:
Though opponents chanted “No” outside their doors earlier in the day, the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass a transgender public accommodations bill on Wednesday
The 116-36 vote was announced just before 6 p.m. to resounding applause inside the House chamber, following a long day of debate and attempts to amend the bill.
Like a similar bill passed by the state Senate earlier this month, the legislation would offer transgender people protections from discrimination at public accommodations like restaurants and malls, and allows people to use the restroom or locker room that matches their gender identity.
Go here to read the rest. We live in an age of pernicious make believe where people can pretend to choose the sex they wish to be and everyone else must cater to a belief that is just as sane as someone believing they are a dog, an oak tree or an honest liberal. If we had a Conference of Catholic Bishops that wasn’t a complete joke in this country, they might be pondering why the states with the highest percentages of Catholics also tend to be the states where leftist dogma is enacted into law to persecute faithful Catholics. Of course that would take precious time away from pressing matters like sucking up to the Federal government for hundreds of millions in order to aid in flaunting the immigration laws of this nation. Priorities, priorities.
You are worse than Hitler if you don’t agree.

It’s an Orwellian world. They have buried the putrid corpse of Reality/Truth.

I bet Massachusetts’ state finances are on the brink of bankruptcy. So, they must toot whatever horn the idiot drones (academia, media, idiotic liberals – I repeat myself) buzz at and avoid addressing the imminent, unsolvable disasters they have wrought.

Emotions/feelings/bu!!$#I! matter. The Biology, Truth, Reality only matter when they support the agenda, which is to destroy the two main obstacles to complete state control: faith and family.
I bet a bunch of idiots (liberals) will think this is a good thing. Re: destroying the family, a news story revealed a five-year-old child calling 9-1-1 to turn in his father for running a red light. Brainwash them early.
The state in which I was born – Taxachusetts – home of Ted I did not kill that woman at Chappaquiddick Kennedy and Cardinal Sean I am so loving O’Malley. As far as I am concerned, the liberal northeast and the left coast Californicators should be cut off and set adrift from the United States.
The 116 to 36 vote..? Honestly?
Not even close.
Daughters, wives, grandmother’s, aunt’s and girlfriend’s. What have you to say in Massachusetts?
Perverts get special treatment.
The unborn……death penalty.
“Of course that would take precious time away from pressing matters…”
Does anyone else think that Ol’ Scratch knows this and likes it this way, for reasons most of us cannot event fathom right now?
Cue up the music! Life is a cabaret old chum, life is a cabaret…
My son is off to college in the fall. We wonder if/when some girl who thinks she is a guy will demand to room with him, or some other fellow. Or some guy who insists he is a she will demand a female room-mate.
.
Will Note Dame or Fordham be the first to allow that kind of thing?
DJH.
Why not?
ND is Catholic in name only.
Sorry true blue alumni but keep it up with top Medal honor’s to Uncle Joe and Pro-abort Presidents….why the hell not?
They might be the first university to support beast/ human relationships… after all they are open minded.
I like making trouble, so perhaps a letter to the editor suggesting this is warranted? One of those “modest proposal” kind of things. But then, I wonder if that would be sinful to suggest. You know it is only a matter of time.
All of this crap comes from the Eastern Seaboard, the West Coast and Chicago. Of course our council of Catholic bishops is a joke, and a bad one.
Cardinal speaks Truth….

Obama is insane.
Brains have been flowing down through necks, and taking hearts along for the journey for years, to this end, where plumbers will be called to follow new regulations. Numbskull is a helpful word for thoughts on such diversions developing to eliminate common sense, and especially God’s Law.
btw – looks like Boston archdiocese will be getting two new Auxiliary Bishops for the dwindling census totals and for what purpose remains to be seen.
Why is it that where there are lots of Catholics there are lots of liberals?
Second Timothy 4 1-8
Today’s First reading is Perfect for this thread!
I’m sorry, but I can’t reproduce the text right now… running late for a shift at the N. Home.
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. ”
I guess that the liars – communists and the Masons didn’t try to pass as Baptist preachers and in Assemblies. Devils own pride may have caused that. He identified more easily with the pseudo intellectual crowd in the Ivy League.
But those red state conservative allies in the culture wars and in dogged faith are a blessing to us now.
“…proclaim the word;
be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient;
convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine
but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity,
will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth
and will be diverted to myths….”

Thank you!?
I am thinking about the practical aspects of this. Christians will no longer be able to hold many government jobs including in the K-12 state run government schools in the state of Massachusetts. How can they if, as part of their daily job duties, they are required to present & reinforce such lies to innocent children. This means there should be many Christians teachers leaving the public schools. This means there will be many teachers available to teach in private schools and/or provide services to homeschoolers.
I am hoping that Christian teachers file an mass lawsuit against policies that would require them to lose their jobs when they are unable to help brain wash children with lies. Literally it is discrimination against Christians based on their religious faith.
“Emotions/feelings/bu!!$#I! matter. The Biology, Truth, Reality only matter when they support the agenda, which is to destroy the two main obstacles to complete state control: faith and family.”
Tyrannical govt control at the most intimate levels of our lives & moral responsibilities are indeed the purpose behind these things being pushed.
Obama may indeed be insane but what of his numerous supporters?

The Cult of personality is a funny thing.
As long as the kings subjects are “feeling” a sense of belonging, the actions of the King don’t matter much. Not until the King/queen tells them to “eat cake,” as they starve in the street.
Coming to a nation near you.
The current King says, “Let them eat statistics”. He touts 4% unemployment with over 90 million out of the workforce. Thus Trump.
He is not insane, he is Communist.
Plausibly so. But perhaps communists are insane. Communism is insanity in action.
Barak Hussein has a reprobate mind. A reprobate mind (Romans 1) is unable to take 1+1 and get it equal 2 according to God’s law. When a reprobate mind calculates 1+1, they can get it to equal less than 2 or more than 2, but never 2.
Reading the First Chapter of Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans verses 18 through 32 is like reviewing a collage of current events taken from the evening news.
William P. Walsh.
So true.
Many claim to be wise today yet are completely foolish. They “invent ways of doing evil.”. Good call Mr. Walsh. The dirty laundry list mentioned is fitting perfectly for our time. The next chapter is interesting as well. Chpt. 2:13;”For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.”
We must try by our lives to plant seeds in the hearts of those who know not God, nor His commands. We must keep our hands on the plow and never look back, knowing that the sod is tough and rocky, but the one who cultivates, fertilizers, warms and rains on the seed will see to it that the harvest is plentiful.
Doing our share is a glory for God and neighbor. How trying the times, but how glorious the reward.
The progressive elites and their idiotic minions, e.g. MA Legisl. and Bruce Springsberg, execrate the truth and spit on the beliefs of (estimated) 230 million unliberalized Americans.
.
This insanity is the latest in a long list of liberal outrages against which the establishment GOP (we elected) responded with cowardly silence.
.
The dastards are going in for the kill of our faith, our families and our way of life. Kiss goodbye to all of it.

They are winning because people don’t speak or act. And, because they won’t be persecuted if they keep their mouths shut.
