RIGHTS OF A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR

We have all been following the issue of Kim Davis the clerk in Virginia who refused to authorize a license for a same sex marriage. She was a conscientious objector in obeying the law of God.
She was gaoled for one week after which time she was released on the undertaking that she would not block any more marriage applications. She is unrepentant.
Last week, she met Pope Francis who told her she had the right to object which was a basic right. This Pope wants all issues on the table not just gay and lesbian propaganda. The world has an educated Pope.
We see the same issue with men who were conscientious objectors to killing in war. They had to be excused by the Court.

Many of these men became stretcher bearers and medics on the battlefield while many gave their lives for their country.


Ms Davis had the right to be a conscientious objector on same sex marriage legislation. But she did not seem to be informed of her rights. She could have been moved sideways in her office. People are playing politics.


Last week, she met Pope Francis in Washington at the Vatican Embassy. This caused concern from gay and lesbian activists who had the delusion that the Pope would make changes to gay and lesbian relationships.


This is a deep and complex issue by which we must not forget what is written in Scripture. The Pope can not just make changes though as a human being he has compassion for people. 


The exception seems to be the child molesting paedophiles who have made the Catholic church their home for perhaps hundreds of years.


The Pope also met an old student of his from a Catholic college in Argentina. He came to the embassy with his gay partner. This person gave the support of an old friend to Pope Francis against criticism by other gays and lesbians.


I hope we are all getting the picture of this Pope as a humble and caring man who puts humanity before ideology. The College of Cardinals chose well. The Catholic clergy want the church to survive, hopefully without paedophile priests.


There will be a Synod convened in Rome to approach the issue of family. There must be focus on the hidden paedophile issue. Paedophile priests are the tip of the iceberg in the community. 


The gay priest who revealed his sexuality is trying to pressure the issue, particularly if he is disciplined.

Concessions to gays and lesbians will flow on to the paedophiles who are busy attacking family and hiding behind accusations of homophobia.

There will be clergy from over the world many in Africa opposing same sex marriage. Please click:
