Australia: Archbishop Reaps Hatred for Defending Common Sense

Archbishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, Australia, has denounced a campaign to overturn Christian moral principles.

As a result, the enemies of common sense have responded with intense hatred. In a May 2 pastoral letter ('We are salt to the earth'), Mgr Porteous made statements about human dignity and religious and parental freedom.

For example, he said: "Believing in God as Creator, we see our identity as male and female as a gift. We therefore see efforts to separate gender from biological sex as a denial of the reality of who we are".

And: "God created male and female as sexually complementary. This means that, sexually, we were literally made for the opposite sex".

Mgr. Porteous criticises the radicalised transvestite lobby, child abortion, euthanasia suicide, homosexual pseudo-marriage and the "woke" propaganda that fights against common sense ("traditional values and beliefs").

Homosexual propaganda groups claimed that Mgr Porteous had "stigmatised" them, as if Porteous was responsible for nature and common sense.

The hateful Kristie Johnston, an "independent" member of the Tasmanian parliament whose child is educated in a "Catholic" school, called Mgr Porteous' letter "hateful".

I respectfully suggest the rest of the Australian Hierarchy awaken from their slumber and follow the courageous Archbishops example.
