Catholics Resist Same-sex "marriage" -- Traditional Marriage Ads Received with Cheers and Jeers

HANOVER, Penn., June 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) is receiving mixed reactions after publishing large ads opposing same-sex "marriage." The statement titled Battling for America’s Soul: How Homosexual "Marriage" Threatens Our Nation and Faith—TFP Urges Lawful and Conscientious Resistance, appeared as a two-page ad simultaneously in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Times on June 5.

"A wave of phone calls and emails are pouring in," said TFP director Preston Noell. "What I find most shocking is the impolite and even vitriolic tone contained in the replies advocating same-sex 'marriage.' Our group has been called just about every ugly name for publishing a calm and reasoned defense of traditional marriage," he said.

"But the number of positive responses is great. It's clear to me that Christian America is ready to peacefully reject and resist the imposition of homosexual "marriage," he added.

America Needs Fatima

America Needs Fatima exists to win the heart and soul of America for Mary with the Fatima message. America urgently needs the prophetic messages of Our Lady at Fatima. Above all, America needs a clear direction, a great purpose, and the means to achieve it. The admonitions, requests, and warnings of Mary Most Holy can be called a heaven-sent survival manual. The essence of Our Lady's message is an invitation to open our eyes to the gravity of today's moral corruption, to explain it in light of God's plans, and to outline how to prevent the chastisement. Our Lady is thus teaching us about our epoch and our future. To fulfill this desire in spreading our Lady's message, America Needs Fatima (ANF) has organized pro-life rallies, anti-blasphemy protests, the distribution of millions of fliers nationwide, a home visitation program enthroning statues of Our Lady of Fatima, and the promotion of books and devotional items. All seek to draw people closer to God and His Blessed Mother. Over 3,000 Catholics gathered to protest the launching of the blasphemous film Dogma.

Why America must resist homosexual 'marriage' in California and elsewhere

If the family sinks, so will America.

Can you recall a time when traditional marriage was in greater peril?

You see – against the will of 61% of the state’s voters – California’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of homosexual “marriage” on May 15. Traditional marriage was dealt another blow when New York Governor David Patterson ordered legal recognition for same-sex “marriages” contracted out of state.

Marriage is being redefined, turned inside out by the homosexual movement.

You and I must rally in defense of the family. What can we do?

I have a good answer: The American TFP just published two-page ads in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Times. The title is: Battling for America’s Soul: How Homosexual “Marriage” Threatens Our Nation and Faith—the TFP Urges Lawful and Conscientious Resistance.

The statement is hard-hitting. Insightful. Informative. When you read it, you will find the wisdom of the Catholic Church, effective answers, and a plan of action.

Read it. Study it. And spread it far and wide.

There is a battle going on for America’s soul. You and I must defend the truth, the family and the law of God.
