Yes, it is very shocking and disturbing and outright wrong, but oh well, still not as bad as the lions...

The Catholic church has been in a symbiotic relationship with the state for that many centuries, helping to build that same mechanism which now turns against it.

"Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him." [Proverbs 26:27]

Discrimination is great, it's the sign of intelligence, it allows us to tell between good and evil, to eat that which is healthy and to throw out that which is poisonous - stop making it a crime!

Yuyutsu

have not agreed on much lately but what you say about discrimination is spot on.

what a perverted dictatorship the Greens are. Was the refugee terrorist in France on the same ship as Hanson Young on her publicity stunt? To think 10 % of Australians have been dumbed down to vote for these clowns.

The sky is falling!
The title of this essay is essentially ridiculous - that is worthy of ridicule.
If you check out the regular contents of the authors website it almost always contains references to essays and books (etc) which are very much at the dim-witted end of the religious spectrum. Religion as an extension of and a consolation for a childish, even infantile emotional disposition. That is they almost always lack any kind of deeply considered discriminative intelligence.

Geoff of Perth,

"Perhaps you could advise if my children are permitted to go to a Catholic school noting we are not religious? Who is really discriminating now?"

In this case no one, if you want your kids to go to a Catholic school and to receive a more rounded education then their religion or lack of it is no bar, if there are vacancies then they can fill them and you will have the added satisfaction of joining those parents who help to subsidize the State system.

I disagree with the Catholic Church’s position on same-sex marriage, but it should have the right to argue its case on this issue. So should anyone else who supports or opposes ssm. The issue is one of freedom of speech, not religious privilege.
