Any priest who supports politicians who champion abortion or partial birth abortion, celebrate homosexual sin, and defend the chemical castration and mutilation of children demanded by transgender LGBTQ activists, scandalizes the Church.

In their release endorsing Joe Biden, NARAL pointed out that a Biden\/Harris presidency would \u201cexpand access\u201d to abortion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, NARAL also noted the real promises that a Biden\/Harris administration would fulfill by promising to \u201conly appoint judges\u201d that would uphold Roe v.

They also praised the Biden\/Harris ticket for promising to reverse the Mexico City Policy which prevents federal tax dollars from being used by organizations that perform or promote abortions overseas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Radical Pro-Abortion Agenda of Biden-Harris 2020 (from <a href=\"https:\/\/familypolicyalliance.com\/issues\/2020\/08\/12\/how-extreme-the-facts-about-kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FamilyPolicyAlliance.com<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Harris on Abortion: Supports It Up to Birth \u2013 and Beyond<\/strong><br \/>\nFor starters, Harris toes the line of Planned Parenthood on every abortion issue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Supports abortion up to the moment of birth \u2013 and even after<\/strong>, calling it a woman\u2019s decision on whether care should be offered to a baby who survives an abortion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Has a 100% voting record according to Planned Parenthood<\/strong> and NARAL Pro-Choice America<\/li>\n<li>Sponsor of the infamous \u201cWomen\u2019s Health Protection Act\u201d that <strong>would have invalidated nearly every federal or state restriction on abortion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But Harris goes even further.

Later, as AG, she personally performed same-sex weddings.<\/p>\n<p>As a presidential candidate, she zealously advocated for the entire LGBT playbook, plus some of her own additions. These included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Forcing school students to share bathrooms and locker rooms with the opposite gender<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Overturning President Trump\u2019s ban on transgenders in the military<\/strong> \u2013 thus prioritizing social engineering over military readiness<\/li>\n<li><strong>Establishing a White House LGBT czar<\/strong> \u2013 the \u201cChief Advocate for LGBTQ+ Affairs\u201d \u2013 who would work with agencies throughout the federal government to advance the LGBT agenda<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forcing taxpayers to subsidize so-called \u201csex-change\u201d surgeries<\/strong> through guaranteed coverage in her Medicare for All plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Harris on Religious Freedom: Limit It<\/strong><br \/>\nSen. Harris seems to only have one approach with regard to religious freedom \u2013 limiting it. In fact, she introduced a bill to do exactly that. Her so-called \u201cDo No Harm Act\u201d would forbid First Amendment religious freedom protections if the religious views were deemed to be discriminatory against people who identify as LGBT. In other words, in Kamala Harris\u2019 world, the LGBT worldview trumps religious freedom every time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Fr.

As a big supporter of President Obama, back in January 26, 2017, he posted a Thank You when Obama left office. That in itself was in poor taste, given Obama\u2019s pro-abortion and pro-LGBT policies. What made it even more shocking, was the picture Fr. Calin chose to publicly share with the world. It proudly displayed the LGBT colors as the background.
