I almost never do this, but I felt it was very important to
share a letter with you so that the whole world could understand what
really happened in Ireland as this predominantly Catholic nation voted
decisively to redefine marriage.
After the vote, I posted this on Facebook:
"What can we learn from the vote to redefine marriage in Ireland, a traditionally Catholic country?
"1)
Traditional 'Christian' religion cannot stop the juggernaut of gay
activism. Only a living, vibrant faith will have the energy and
commitment and depth to stand firm.
"2) Sex-scandals in
the Catholic Church in the 1990s robbed the Church of its moral
authority. How can the Church speak to the society about sexual morality
when it has largely disqualified itself? Scandals like this take a long
time to get over, and here in America, we have been plagued by
evangelical scandals as well, involving some of our well-known leaders.
To the extent we are deemed hypocritical, to that extent we lack moral
authority.
"3) Ireland was not ready for the massive
influx of gay activist funding from America. Sadly, from President Obama
down, America has been an aggressive force for normalizing
homosexuality, and without American funding and vision, it is doubtful
that Ireland would have voted so strongly for such radical change.
"What happened in Ireland should be a wake-up call for the church worldwide."
