MPs: A Persecuted Minority?

The Commons at its most effective?

After some investigation I could only find one 'good man' in Parliament. Her name is Helen Goodman, MP for Bishop Auckland.

Janet Daley today in her Telegraph blog suggests that outlawing 'gay hate' would create a thought-crime, since, she says, 'the government is trying to pass a law on “homophobic hatred” by the end of this parliamentary session which would make it a crime to criticise homosexual conduct or practice. They are determined to overturn repeated attempts by the House of Lords to insert a “free speech” clause into the Bill which would distinguish between acts of discrimination or victimisation, and the mere utterance of disapproval or condemnation.'

I would add that it could also, in future, see the arrest, fining or imprisonment of Priests, Bishops or Laity who preach against homosexual acts and civil partnerships since it would be a public offense to criticise homosexual culture. So, before the law gets passed we should get all of our 'gay hate' speech out before it becomes illegal. Here we go...

The act of homosexuality is a grave, serious and mortal sin which can and should be confessed in any Catholic Church across the globe.

While it is true to say that God by His very nature is not vengeful, rather patient and loving, the act of homosexuality remains one of the four sins crying out to Heaven for vengeance. Like all mortal sins, if it is unrepented before death then eternal salvation is most certainly placed in jeapordy.

The homosexual is advised according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church to unite his sufferings to that of his Saviour and, by persevering in the Faith and in struggling with his condition, while having recourse to the Sacraments which enable him to grow in holiness, he should courageously accept his share in the sufferings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is called, like all Catholics, to become a faithful friend of Our Lord Jesus Christ and insodoing become a Saint.

There we go...That wasn't so bad was it? How long I wonder, before MPs, outlawing thought and speech find themselves having to create a law protecting MPs from 'hate speech', because, as every day passes, it seems, the anger against this frighteningly anti-libertarian group of amateurs in Parliament grows and grows until finally the BNP get 20 seats in the House of Commons at the next election and the country tears itself apart.
