  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ahh, take me back to the 2000s or even 2010s, where none of this stuff was in our churches. (well, sadly, creepy priests and heterosexual perverts still existed back then). But, nowadays we have both creepy priests and drag stuff in churches. So, it seems twice as bad now compared to a decade ago.

True. Since so called same-sex marriage was legalized in June 2015, it’s gotten worse and worse.

Even in 2015, things were better. But, as soon as the second half of 2016 hit, but especially by 2018-19, things started getting different. By 2022, things have gotten off the rails.

Even in the mid-2010s (2015), trans was labeled as a confusion. But, by 2019, that has shifted to support. So, something changed between 2016 and 2019, for the worse.

From Time: "When I talked to teens for my book iGen in 2015 and 2016, most were skeptical about transgender identities. “They’re just confused,” said one. Another said, “They weren’t born that way. I feel like they’re denying their previous existence. They’re not true to themselves and I kind of don’t like it.”

Those beliefs, it turns out, were so mid-2010s. In a 2019 poll, two-thirds of U.S. young adults said they had become increasingly supportive of transgender rights over the last five years. Today’s teens [in 2023] not only support transgender rights, but arrive home from school excited when one of their friends comes out as trans."

Sorry. That’s just…odd. Weird how times have changed.

Women must not pretend to be men, and men must not pretend to be women. The Lord your God is disgusted with people who do that.
Deuteronomy 22:5
Amen.

Agreed. It is odd. 2016 to 2019 is just three years of time span. Assuming a midpoint of 50% support was reached in 2017 or 2018, then, in a matter of a year, the world went on board with this trans ideology.

Even in Britain, trans stuff took off in 2016-19, surpassing 1000 referrals in 2016, and 2000 referrals in 2018.

From: The evidence to support medicalised gender transitions in adolescents is worryingly weak

It’s a sign of the end times, my friend.

Get your oil ready. Jesus is coming back soon.

It is. The rise in transgenderism, individuality and identity culture, death culture (euthanasia, abortion), global warming (with record temperatures approaching +1.5C, heat waves) and false prophets are all signs of Jesus returning back soon.

Fear not. He already destroyed death and the devil. Just persevere unto the end, and you shall be saved.

Amen to this. In the mean time, I will do whatever it is to help reduce the impact of climate change by being eco-friendly, and reduce the impact of transgenderism by not supporting Target, Disney or other companies that promote this stuff.

Viterbo University is a Catholic School in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and my alma mater. In the children's section of their library, they have a pride display of children's books.

One book is called "It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity." It's designed to teach children as young 4 about concepts of transgenderism, non-binary, cisgender, etc.

Another book is called Desert Queen. It encourages boys as young as 7 to cross dressing as drag queens.

I've often seen children on campus because they have a Boys & Girls club on campus.

It's depressing to see innocent children targeted with this. I've contacted the Archbishop (I cant find the Bishop's contact) and didn't hear back. I contacted the school and just got a generic response.

Please consider joining me in contacting the Bishop and library:



A local blog wrote about the display: Viterbo Promotes Gender Confusion in Young Children | CouleeConservatives
The ideology of transgenderism is evil - but we saw this coming - and it will only get worse before the Lord comes again and cleans house.

Never come across that before!

Whatever is it?

(I do know about people being uncomfortable with their biological sex.)
The idea that any sort of "transition" can take place.

We all can go through periods of uncomfortability.

However - anyone who is convinced that God made a mistake or that they are something that they are not has been deceived by evil spirits.

It is an evil ideology penned by Satan himself.

That's true. Gender non-conforming people of all kinds are "out" now. But marriage is found in all human societies. Permanent pair bonding has always been part of human nature and will persist because it is part of the way we reproduce. At different times and places there have been a variety of social and/or religious rules surrounding the pairing. These can change, but the existence of marriage as a permanent part of human nature will not.
But now all kinds of other people are out, Oh my!. Only to be expected, they took a look at what the gays had done and decided that they should be out of the closet, too.

So many children are confused about their gender and people think minors should make life altering decisions.

I don’t think that’s helpful, but ok.

I thought that was off the table for these discussions. I thought that most people here either opposed, or were not willing to actively defend our present treatment of trans kids. I am certainly not.
