Bush approves of sodomy
"I don't think we should deny
people rights to a civil union"
WASHINGTON -- President Bush said in an interview this past weekend that he disagreed with the Republican Party platform opposing civil unions of same-sex couples and that the matter should be left up to the states. Mr. Bush has previously said that states should be permitted to allow same-sex unions, even though White House officials have said he would not have endorsed such unions as governor of Texas. But Mr. Bush has never before made a point of so publicly disagreeing with his party's official position on the issue. In an interview on Sunday with Charles Gibson, an anchor of "Good Morning America" on ABC, Mr. Bush said, "I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so." (Also read: George Bush on Sodomy, Bush’s Position on Sodomy, No More Excuses!).
Matthew Henry, Commentary on Psalm 12:
"When wickedness abounds, and goes barefaced, under the protection and countenance of those in authority, then the times are very bad when the vilest men are exalted to places of trust and honor (who, instead of putting the laws in execution against vice and injustice and punishing the wicked according to their merits, patronize and protect them, give them countenance and support their reputation by their own example) then the wicked walk on every side; they swarm in all places, they declare their sin as Sodom and there is none to check or control them... Bad men are base men, the vilest of men, and they are so though they are ever so highly exalted in this world...
"When times are thus bad it is comfortable to think, that we have
a God to go to, from whom we may ask and expect the redress of all
our grievances. This he begins with ‘Help, Lord, for the godly man
ceaseth.’ All other helps and helpers fail; even the godly and
faithful, who should lend a helping hand to support the dying cause
of religion... When godly faithful people cease and fail it is time
to cry, ‘Help, Lord!’ God will certainly reckon with false and
proud men, and will punish and restrain their insolence."
"Earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, to spit upon their heads than to obey them." --John Calvin (Commentary on Daniel, Lecture XXX Daniel 6:22)
Bush: Christians & Muslims worship same God
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, Bush said he believes that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God. "I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty," Bush said. "But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I don't get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said.

"President Bush could end this insane policy--which began with his predecessor Bill Clinton--with one executive order. Yet he has not done it. I want to express my deep disappointment and my utter lack of confidence in George Bush as a President. He has sent American mothers and even teenage girls to be shot at, captured, raped and killed by cruel barbarians, in a faraway and needless war. My outrage over this is such that I cannot in good conscience vote for him in the coming election."
Top GOP officials outed
Republican National Committee's
Chief Financial Officer is a sodomite!
Two high level officials with the Republican National Committee acknowledged they are sodomites. Jay Banning, the RNC’s chief financial officer and director of administration, and Daniel Gurley, the RNC’s national field director and deputy political director, each confirmed they are gay in telephone conversations. Michael Rogers disclosed details of his conversations with Banning and Gurley, including their acknowledgement that they are sodomites, on his sodomite Web site, Blogactive.com. (Source: Sodomite Publication -- Washington Blade, DC.
Another high ranking Republican is a sodomite
According to LA Weekly, conservative Republican Congressman David Dreier not only engages in sodomy, they cite a recent interview done by John Byrne, also a homosexual, that he was living with his Chief of Staff, Brad Smith during the 2000 election cycle. This interview by Bryne was conducted with Dr. Janice Nelson, Dreier's Democrat opponent in both 1998 and 2000, who says she was aware during that time that Dreier was a homosexual living with Smith, "Brad was like an invisible presence. They really have the routine down slick.” Dreier who represents San Gabriel Valley, is the very powerful chairman of the House Rules Committee, chairman of the California Republican House delegation, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, co-chairman of Californians for Bush and was chairman of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's transition team. LA Weekly also confirms that Mike Rogers and his Blogactive web site was responsible for outing another closet homosexual, conservative Republican Congressman Ed Schrock from Virginia.

Back to AIDS basics, G.W. Bush the Condom Queen
FOR ALL the recent gains in making lower-cost AIDS drugs more available in the developing world, treatment efforts will be overwhelmed unless countries do a better job of prevention. It is encouraging that both President Bush and major nonprofit health organizations are sending the same message on the ABCs of prevention: abstinence, being faithful in marriage, and condom use when appropriate. The president endorsed this approach at a recent appearance before a charitable arm of a predominantly black church in Philadelphia. It is not the first time Bush has endorsed condom use.
Bush Backs Condom Use
PHILADELPHIA -- President George W. Bush has said for the first time that the United States should endorsed the use of condoms to prevent its spread of AIDS, an important issue among conservative groups that have fought the adoption of a U.S. Condom Policy -- strategy that does not focus on abstinence.
Cheney's Pervert Daughter and the Gay-Republican
Party Should Be National Campaign Issues
Enough about apologies for mentioning Mary Cheney's "private" choices. She's "out", "proud", and an advocate for pervert inclusion in the Republican Party. If we're so concerned about sexploitation and despicable politics, look no further than to Mary Cheney herself. Culture & Family Institute (April 25, 2002):: Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, has joined the board of a homosexual activist Republican group that seeks to make homosexuality a “non-issue” in the GOP and compares opposition to homosexuality to racism. Homosexual author and activist Andrew Sullivan reported April 23 that the Republican Unity Coalition (RUC) founder Charles Francis said Mary Cheney’s: "main focus will be to help the RUC reach out to gay and lesbian voters, as well as build bridges to all within the Republican Party."
Miss Cheney and the Klan?
Imagine for just one second that Mary Cheney was not a lesbian political activist, but a lobbyist for the Ku Klux Klan. Now imagine that the Vice President brought up this fact at a press conference and announced that he believed in special rights for Klan members and that he was very proud of his Klan activist daughter. Now imagine that the Bush campaign hired Mary Cheney the Ku Klux Klan activist to stand beside her father the Vice President and represent the Bush Administration as a member of the re-election team. Is there any sane American who believes that she, her father, or the President would be free from criticism for such?
Bush’s Position on Sodomy
Let’s Get It Straight
Dr. Albert Mohler recently wrote that Christians should be preeminently concerned with defending marriage against the assaults of crusading homosexualists. Mohler does an excellent job dissecting the duplicity of Senator Kerry vis a vis the issue of gay marriage. However, Mohler fails to discuss George Bush’s record on sodomy. By his silence, Mohler implies that Bush stands against the homosexualist assault. But what is the actual Bush record on sodomy? (Also read: No More Excuses!, and George Bush on Sodomy)
House Defeats Sodomite 'Marriage' Ban
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. House of Representatives failed on Thursday to muster the two-thirds majority needed to pass a proposed constitutional amendment backed by President Bush to ban gay marriage.
The largely party-line vote in the Republican-led House was 227-186, 49 votes short of what was required for approval. (Roll call on marriage amendment)
Bush is morally bankrupt!
Abandons base on homosexuality
On Aug. 15, in an interview with CNN's Larry King, the president was talking about his support for a federal marriage amendment when King asked him, "What about the union of gays?" Mr. Bush said, "Well, that's up to the states, you know. If states choose to do that, in other words, if they want to provide legal protections for gays, that's great! That's fine!" The president went on to say a few words about the importance of keeping the definition of marriage as it is – a union between a man and a woman. However, the damage was done. Here we have a president, who professes a faith in Christ, who has been endorsed by the religious right and heralded as the new leader of the conservative movement, giving his stamp of approval to gay unions. How else can we take, "That's great! That's fine"?
Sheldon: "platform is our Bible."
George W. and The Christian backsliders
Rev. Lou Sheldon says the "platform is our Bible." Sheldon chairs the Traditional Values Coalition, a network of 43,000 conservative churches nationwide. "George W. Bush (a pro-homosexual baby-killer) is one of us," he says proudly, speaking from the Republican National Convention in New York. Moderates like New York Gov. George Pataki, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani headlining the speakers' list is not an issue for Sheldon. "We are very pleased that campaign and the convention committee has selected people like Giuliani, Pataki, and Schwarzenegger to speak," he says. "Their talk is for the undecided people watching television," Sheldon says. "President Bush is smart and Karl Rove is smart," he adds. "The undecided are not conservative Christians."
President Bush's Daughters to Attend 'Gay' Wedding
When Washington-area beautician Erwin Gomez and his longtime partner James Packard celebrate their marital vows with 400 of their closest friends next month, two of Gomez's best customers will probably be in attendance: President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara.
Yesterday, the 39-year-old Gomez - a makeup expert for the Elizabeth Arden shop in the D.C. suburb of Chevy Chase, Md. - told Lowdown that the First Twins have become devotees of his popular eyebrow waxes over the past few weeks. And, Gomez added, Bush's daughters have expressed an enthusiastic desire to go to Gomez and Packard's Sept. 11 wedding celebration at their home in Laytonsville, Md. "I gave them the party invitation, and they said, 'That sounds great, we'd love to come - it sounds like a lot of fun,'" Gomez said. Never mind that their father supports a constitutional ban of gay marriages. As for the Bush sisters, "I've done their eyebrows three times - they usually just call my cell and pop in," said Gomez, who also plucks and waxes the eyebrows of Saudi Princess Haifa.
Keyes Begs Pro-Sodomite Bush Not to Select O'Connor as Chief Justice
Former ambassador Alan Keyes, who officially accepted the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Illinois this week, is challenging President George W. Bush to resist the urge to appoint judicial nominees who do not "share our reverence for our Declaration and our Constitution." In a letter sent to members of The Declaration Alliance, a civic public policy and issues advocacy group that defends the original intent of the Founding Fathers, obtained by Talon News, Keyes said, "Please, Mr. President, I beg of you, do not surrender your principles in this vital cause," the declaration continued. "I tremble for our country if more [liberal] justices ... are appointed on your watch."
GOP Senate Majority Leader Backs Civil Unions
WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, said he supports allowing states to decide whether to allow civil unions for same-sex couples. Frist told reporters last week states should "determine whether or not civil unions are appropriate for that state." Only Vermont has approved civil unions, which extend marriage-like rights and responsibilities to same-sex couples at the state level. California, Hawaii and New Jersey also grant various state-level spousal rights to same-sex couples registered as domestic partners. Like Frist, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., also said states should decide "whether and to what extent there may be civil unions."

Bush Advances Gay Rights
President Bush's endorsement of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage could prove to be a great moment for gay rights. This may seem an absurd statement, both to gay rights activists who have roundly denounced the decision and to religious conservatives who have cheered it. But in explaining the president's position, White House spokesman Scott McClellan insisted that while Bush backed the amendment, he would also support the rights of states to provide various partnership benefits, including civil unions. Though the news emphasis has been on the former, the practical consequences of the latter are huge.
Bush Plays Both Sides in Debate Over Marriage
Washington -- President Bush took another carefully calibrated step toward endorsing a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage Tuesday night, but his elliptical comments left such ample room for interpretation that some described them as "Clintonian." Bush also for the first time raised the issue of the longstanding right of states, rather than the federal government, to determine "legal arrangements" between couples. His remarks seemed to condone the civil union statute adopted by Vermont, or California's new domestic partnership law, both of which grant lesbian and gay couples the legal rights of marriage without calling it marriage.

Only One Presidential Candidate Opposes Same-Sex Unions
Traditional, Biblical marriage is under an all out assault in America, and unfortunately, there is virtually no difference between the two major parties in the effort to preserve it. Both President G.W. Bush and Democrat John Kerry would stand back and allow militant homosexuals and their supporters destroy the institution of marriage in this country.
Sexual politics
In his third and final piece on the issues dividing America, Matthew Wells finds out how the legal sex industry is affecting the race for the White House in the swing state of Ohio. Ohio's adult entertainment industry - at least the corporate, legal part of the sex business - is making its voice heard this election year in the hope that customers will realise that their right to consume what they want, in the way they want, is under threat. That is the message behind the forms and the poster on display here, distributed by the Buckeye Association of Club Executives, which warns punters to take nothing for granted. ('Be not deceived!'

Memo Rips GOP Hopeful for 'Lewd' Actions; Memo Criticizes Potential Senate Candidate for 'Lewd' Behavior While With Bush Administration
WASHINGTON -- A potential Republican candidate for the Senate seat from Illinois where the party's nominee 
withdrew over sex club allegations engaged in "lewd and abusive behavior" while she served as a top official in the White House drug policy office, an internal inquiry found last year. In front of her staff, Andrea Grubb Barthwell made repeated comments about the sexual orientation of a staff member and used a kaleidoscope to make sexually offensive gestures, according to the findings of a March 19, 2003, "hostile workplace memorandum" prepared by drug policy office staff. The Associated Press obtained the memorandum. In an interview Wednesday with the AP, Barthwell said the memorandum overstates what happened, but she said she was wrong for participating in "inappropriate banter" at a staff birthday party.
Senate Scuttles Marriage Amendment
WASHINGTON -- The Senate dealt an election-year defeat Wednesday to a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, rejecting pleas from President Bush and fellow conservatives that the measure was needed to safeguard an institution that has flourished for thousands of years. The vote was 48-50, 12 short of the 60 needed to keep the measure alive. Six Republicans joined dozens of Democrats in sealing the amendment's fate.

Republicans All But Concede Failure of Marriage Amendment
To pre-election politics in the United States now where Republicans in the US Senate have all but conceded they will not succeed in their efforts to ban 'gay' marriage. But while they may fail to win a constitutional ban in the Congress, their efforts appear to have succeeded already in firing up the religious conservative voting block so important to President George W. Bush's re-election prospects. And the Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist, says the issue of gay marriage will not go away.

Bush Played Major Role In Attack On Marriage
A current CitizenLink newsletter put out by Dobson's ministry states that President Bush has proclaimed Oct. 12-18 to be Marriage Protection Week. While that has a nice ring to it, most unsuspecting Christians who read that must think, " Wow, President Bush is such an upstanding Christian". Knowing that the president has endorsed the homosexual lifestyle and at the same time says he wants to protect marriage gives him a bit of a credibility problem with me and it should to anyone else who considers himself or herself a Christian. ('Be not deceived!' I Corinthians 6:9-10)
The Marriage Amendment - Another Trojan Horse
There are many movements that are commendable. Who could argue about trying to save marriage? But this marriage amendment is not only a bad idea; it is a scary Trojan horse. Just like our government to create a crisis in the family then use our ignorance against us to pretend to fix it. Most of the policy of the government for the last 50 years has been detrimental to the family, and now they want to be our friend.
Bush Promoting Homosexual Agenda: Do Conservatives Care?
Christian conservatives regard President George W. Bush as a committed Christian and staunch conservative. This is very perplexing as Bush's track record on numerous key conservative issues is less than stellar, to put it mildly. For example, when one looks at Bush's record regarding favored treatment for the homosexual agenda, he discovers that Bush is every bit the pro-homosexual president that Bill Clinton was. Maybe more so.
Clinton/Bush Policy Released 10,000 Sodomites Back Into Society in 10 Years
WASHINGTON -- In the decade since President Bill Clinton and Congress adopted a policy allowing sodomites to serve in the armed forces as long as they kept their sexual orientation to themselves (a policy approved by the Bush administration), about 10,000 sodomites have been discharged on the ground of failing to do so, according to a report by a gay rights group. Under the policy, the compromise that resulted from the Joint Chiefs' furious resistance to Clinton's effort to carry out his promise, the total of such discharges last year was 787, the lowest number since 1995; that compares with 906 in 2002 and 1,273 in 2001.
Bush Steps Up Funding of Faith-Based Initiatives
President Bush gave more than 1 billion in competitive grants to religious organisations in the last tax year reports the Washington Times. Although the partial figures released by the White House do not cover all agencies or the full gamut of government grants, academic experts said they are the first concrete measure of the success of Bush's attempts to help religious groups compete for federal funds to operate homeless shelters, soup kitchens, drug treatment centres, job training programs and other services. "The administration has stuck at it, and the dollars going to faith-based organizations are clearly going up. But in the overall scheme of things, we're not talking about huge amounts of money here," said Alan J. Abramson, director of the Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program at the Aspen Institute, a Washington-based think tank.

Bush: Christians, Muslims worship same God
LONDON -- President Bush said Nov. 20 that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Speaking at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bush was asked his thoughts on how the war on terrorism and his promotion of freedom intersects with his Christian faith. "I do say that freedom is the Almighty's gift to every person," Bush answered. "I also condition it by saying freedom is not America's gift to the world. It's much greater than that, of course. And I believe we worship the same God."

Jerusalem Newswire
Jerusalem -- Fundamental faith issues relating to the God of Israel and the Land of Israel surfaced in the media this week, casting light on the basic beliefs of two of the United States' top politicians, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and President George W. Bush. DeLay told a gathering in New York Sunday that the land the world calls the occupied territory is in fact Israel's land. And speaking to reporters during his state visit to London Friday, Bush said he believed Christians and Muslims worship the same god - an interpretation rejected by Bible-believing Christians.
New Rules To Help Thieves

Washington -- The Bush administration acted Monday to make it easier for religious organizations to receive federal funding for a range of social welfare programs and awarded $30.5 million in grants to encourage religious and community groups to do more to help people in need. The actions followed through on President Bush's directives to use nonlegislative means to remove barriers to federal funding of social programs operated by churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious organizations. Jim Towey, director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, defended the regulation changes, saying: "In any employment decision, there's discrimination. . . .

Bush Uses Recess Appointment to Install Pro-Sodomite Judge

WASHINGTON -- President Bush named Mississippi Judge Charles Pickering yesterday to a seat on a federal appeals court, raising the stakes in his battle with Senate Democrats who had filibustered Pickering and three of Bush's other judicial nominees. Bush invoked his constitutional prerogative to circumvent congressional approval of judicial nominees while the Senate is not in session, granting Pickering a recess appointment that is good until at least January 2005. The Senate would still have to approve a permanent appointment.

Sex Club Socialism
"Since the early 1990s, an estimated 40,000 new HIV infections have occurred annually in the United States," the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported this April in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). The high incidence of infection has persisted despite massive increases in federal spending to fight the virus. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that federal spending on HIV/AIDS increased from $3.1 billion (in non-inflation adjusted dollars) in 1990 to $14.7 billion in 2002. (President Bush has requested $16 billion for domestic HIV/AIDS spending next year, and $2 billion more to fight HIV/AIDS abroad.)
Bush Administration Funded Programs
Teach Masturbation to Five-Year-Olds
The Bush administration's Center for Disease Control has granted over $500,000 US to the radical sex and perversion promoters, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS). SIECUS programmes give a cynical nod to abstinence education as a part of what they call "comprehensive sexuality education," but continue to include explicit instructions in sexual practices of any description to young children, some as young as five. SIECUS is notorious for its aggressive promotion of sexual activity for children as young as nine, and has come under fire repeatedly by Christian and other morally conservative groups over the last twenty years. They are a network of pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and feminist organizations that promote libertine and deviant sexual activities in schools and lobbies at the state and federal levels.
Bush Credits Bible With Inspiring Him To Push For
Unconstitutional $15 Billion Taxpayer Funded AIDS Policy
WASHINGTON -- President Bush says his religious faith is helping him deal with the challenges of the presidency, and he credits the Bible with inspiring him to push for federal funding to fight AIDS. In an interview appearing next week in the October issue of Ladies' Home Journal, Bush says it is possible to function in the presidency without believing in God, and probably some of his predecessors did not believe in God, but he finds that faith helps. ''When you realize that there is an Almighty God on whom you can rely, it provides great comfort,'' he says. ''That's why I read every morning, the Bible and scriptures and Charles Stanley devotionals. It matters a lot to me personally.'' ''You shouldn't fear a religious person,'' Bush says. ''The Bible talks about love and compassion. . . . That's really a lot behind my passion on AIDS policy, for example.'' Bush surprised some conservatives in January when he asked Congress to raise the five-year budget on fighting AIDS in Africa from $5 billion to $15 billion.

YADKINVILLE, N.C. -- A former minister who was hospitalized after his adult daughters accused him on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" of molesting them pleaded guilty Thursday and was sentenced to 36 years in prison. Ted Eugene Hendrix, 66, pleaded guilty to taking indecent liberties with a child. He could have gotten life in prison if convicted of the original charges, which included rape and incest. His trial had been delayed several days after Hendrix collapsed. Hendrix was arrested in March after one of his daughters went to the authorities. The three women told Winfrey their father abused them almost daily for about a decade. One said he raped her on the church altar and then gave her Communion.
Pastor Ted Eugene Hendrix pleads guilty to sex charges
The Lincoln Tribune, NC
Yadkin County -- In a Yadkin County court Ted Eugene Hendrix pleaded guilty to six counts of improper fondling. He now faces the possibility of spending the next 36 years in prison. Under the fair sentencing law Hendrix will probably only have to serve a maximum of 18 years in prison. His attorney notified members of the media that he now has a terminal illness and may never see the end of his sentence due to the illness. The charges stem from allegations by his daughters Cathy Hawks, Pam Harris and Amy Harrison of decades of sexual abuse. “He molested us daily and we told the judge that,” said Harris. “We asked that the judge to sentence him to where he can never hurt another child. To give us some freedom and some peace finally in our lives and he did just that." Under the plea agreement, Hendrix escaped a possible life sentence. In return, the daughters were not allowed to testify about the times they say their father raped them.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush said in an interview this past weekend that he disagreed with the Republican Party platform opposing civil unions of same-sex couples and that the matter should be left up to the states. In an interview on Sunday with Charles Gibson, an anchor of "Good Morning America" on ABC, Mr. Bush said, "I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so."

Sodomy Is A Crime
Presidents, governors, lawmakers, judges and city officials are not only anti-Christian by approving of sodomy, they make the civil government a vile cesspool from which the abominations vomit out across the land. By displaying such a contempt for the administration of Justice, such civil officials are not only the source of the defilement (Lev.18:24-25), they are the criminals (Rom.1:32), and a hostile enemy authorizing the destruction of the society in which we live (Jude 7).

The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said.Live TBN Fund Drive Axed

was revealed last month.
Trinity Broadcasting Network, a Christian television ministry shaken last month by allegations that
its founder had engaged in a homosexual tryst, has dropped plans for its annual live fall telethon next week and instead will show 40 hours of reruns of previous "Praise-a-thons."

Observers said it would be unseemly for the Crouches to ask for money after articles in The Los Angeles Times detailed the robust financial health of TBN, which averages annual surpluses of $60 million, and the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by the Crouches.

Imagine for one moment that you're a leader in the Episcopal Church USA. You know that within the next few days, a global commission is going to release a report on how the global Anglican Communion should respond to your church, and is likely to be critical of the ordination of an actively homosexual man as bishop. You know, and have said yourself, that the debate isn't just about sexuality: It's about how one views the Bible. And you know that all eyes will be on your denomination over the next few weeks. What do you do? What the real leaders of the Episcopal Church did was to take an action that makes ordaining a homosexual man as a bishop almost a non-issue. They started promoting the worship of pagan deities.
Critics say Catholic Bishop minimized priest's actions
SOUTH PORTLAND -- A co-founder of the church reform group Voice of the Faithful said Roman Catholic Bishop Richard Malone's words have minimized the actions of a priest accused of sexual misconduct in the 1980s. The Rev. Paul Coughlin was forced to resign as pastor of Holy Cross and St. John the Evangelist because of "inappropriate physical contact." But Malone left open the possibility for him to return to public ministry. "Inappropriate physical contact?" said Paul Kendrick of Voice of the Faithful. "He is minimizing what happened to the child by simply calling it 'inappropriate physical contact."'Catholic diocese failed to act on sex abuse concerns
The New South Wales ombudsman has revealed a Catholic diocese failed to suspend a priest even though police were investigating sexual assault allegations against him. In his latest report to Parliament, ombudsman Bruce Barbour says police had concerns about the risk the priest posed to children and had conveyed those concerns to his employer - who failed to act. Mr Barbour says it was only after his intervention that the priest was immediately suspended from his duties by the primary school he was involved with. He says the priest's employer had also jeopardised the police investigation by alerting the priest to the pending charges against him.Anglican Bishops to fight gay 'abomination'

Blogger equates Bush as Christ
FReepers promote blasphemous videoAn Internet blogger with the screen-name "Bommer" has perverted Johnny Cash's song about the second coming of Christ, "The Man Comes Around," by using it in a "Bush is the Messiah" video. FReepers, the Cult Of War neocons at FreeRepublic.com are promoting the blasphemous video across the Internet.
What other bloggers are saying:
-
"When you take a song that was written about Christ and attach it to a pro-Bush video you are either denigrating Christ by equating him with Bush, a non-divine, mortal sinner, or exalting Bush by equating him with Christ, the Son of God and redeemer of mankind. Either way it is a violation of the first commandment. -- Johnny Cash, a devout Christian, would have hated what the FReepers have done to his song!"
"Cash wrote the song around a series of Bible verses referencing Christ and the Apocalypse as described in the Book of Revelation. The FReeper video repeatedly shows images of 9/11 and Islamic groups when the Apocalyspe is referenced, and shows pictures of Bush when lyrics referring to Christ are mentioned in the song."
