Letter to the editor from Tom Smaak.

With our verbal and written defence against revolutionary homosexual activism, we are so far only losing ground.

Below is a lengthy quotation from "Society's snowballing changes compel the Church to react" by Deborah Gyapong (Western Catholic Reporter, Apr. 2, 2007).

[London, Ontario] Bishop Ronald Fabbro believes the Church needs to actively respond to "alarming" societal changes regarding the family in the wake of the redefinition of marriage. 'Formerly the family was supported by the culture that we lived in, but we can't presume that anymore.' ... The Church, he said, is rooted in a vision that gives hope. 'We can't be passive. We have to be actively addressing the problem.'

'As a Church, we have resources,' he said. 'We have to be centred on Jesus Christ. He is at the centre of our efforts. We can't sit back passively as we see these Forces changing the basic institutions of our society.

'If the role of marriage and family is reduced, then the gap will be filled by the state,' he said.

Fabbro said the basic elements keeping society together are being eroded and that means the Church needs to address fundamentals, such as 'the dignity of the person, the role of parents in raising our children and educating them.'

Gyapong goes on to an interview with McGill professor Douglas Farrow. He points out that the Quebec Human Rights Commission created a report advocating that the province create a ministry to stamp out homophobia and heterosexism from public life and, said Farrow, "as far as possible from the private sphere as well" (my emphasis). Gyapong elaborates that "the report singled out religion in families or schools as one of the obstacles the state faces in stamping out heterosexism."

And I have to ask: What are we--the so-called homophobes--going to do now, to fight revolutionary homosexualism?

Over the years we have said and written enough amongst ourselves to be cognizant of where this all might ultimately lead in terms of life, marriage, the family, the schools, and the Church: each and every single person, or small group, who refuses to give in to the homosexualist demands, will be brought before the Human Rights Commission Court.

Now it is high time that we--the so-called homophobes--get publicly vocal, and organize huge demonstrations all over Canada. Hundreds of thousands of well-organized, vocal demonstrators from all over Canada could hardly be brought before the Human Rights Commission.

And if even our repeated, huge demonstrations--all over Canada--were not enough to bring our political leaders to their senses, then we still have left the option suggested by Professor Farrow, as quoted by Gyapong: "Civil disobedience might be necessary down the road, to defend religious freedom and rights of parents."

What are we waiting for? Are conditions going to have to worsen further, before we will act to make them better?

I can still hear the Prime Minister of the Netherlands say over the radio on May 9, 1940, at 8:00 pm: "My dear fellow countrymen. Do not be concerned. When you go to bed tonight, have a good sleep. Nothing will happen."

Six hours later, the Nazi army invaded Holland. Because of the shock, many brave men and women reacted immediately by grouping together in the underground movement. They resisted, hindered, sabotaged, thwarted and frustrated the occupying Nazis, while at the same time hiding Jews and others sought by the Nazis. And all who were involved in the underground movement were aware that--when caught--they would end up in a concentration camp or be killed immediately.

In contrast, the Occupation (if I may use the term) of our beloved Canada, by those who call us homophobes, began quietly and almost unnoticed. Too bad that we are not yet shocked, because our enemies have so far been making tactical use of a low profile to slowly indoctrinate us.

Now that they seem to have sufficient passive support from those who do not yet care what is happening to Canada, the relatively small group of revolutionary homosexualists want to push further, by imposing their own immorality across this whole country.

We have to act. NOW!

"O Canada, glorious and free!"
