The Hollywood propaganda machine has been working for decades now. Television and mainstream media have changed culture and politics. What is regarded as entertainment is a vehicle for propaganda and a subtle way of re-engineering culture and society. Unless addressed in a larger and more general context (like above ” Moral Limits of Human Sexuality”) or specifically pointed out that the gay population is around 1.4%, my impression is that we help along with the propaganda.

Speaking of oca.org, here’s a sampling of the top headlines they do have on their home page as of the evening of 8/1/2011:
– Renovation of St. Tikhon’s Seminary administrative building underway
– Schedule for annual Saint Herman Pilgrimage announced
– Dean of St. Catherine’s on Leave of Absence
– All-American Council exhibitor information and registration deadline available
– Transfiguration Monastery announces annual pilgrimage

They sure have their priorities straight!

How good it is to hear the word of God proclaimed in a loving way by a bishop who so eloquently imparts the Apostolic teachings of the Universal Church.

AXIOS INDEED! i wonder how long it will be before this is published on OCASpews.com?

Excellent point. I’ve modified the title.

If I may, the encyclical is not simply about homosexuality. While he does address the question, his Beatitude examines homosexuality within the context of marriage and (more importantly) the universal call of all Christians to a life of holiness rooted in repentance.

In Christ,
