OTTAWA, April 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Rita Curley, the Christian Family Life Chair of the St. Ignatius Martyr Parish Council of the Catholic Women's League (CWL), made a presentation to the House of Commons Justice committee considering marriage and homosexual unions in February. Curley's CWL council urged her to present on their behalf and after her presentation she received a standing ovation from her council for her courage.
Curley presented a faithful Catholic position on the problems with homosexual behaviour which was deemed hateful by homosexual activist MP Svend Robinson but well received by other committee members. Taking Robinson's lead, homosexual activist media distorted Curley's presentation and ridiculed her. An article in the Ottawa Citizen on Curley's presentation focused on Robinson's critiques.
Curley, a recipient of the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for her contribution to Canadian society, had her presentation publicly rebuked by the National President of the CWL in a letter published in the Citizen following the coverage of Curley's presentation.
CWL National President Marie Cameron, who in her own presentation before the committee demanded the legal recognition of homosexual civil unions (which flies in the face of Catholic teaching), wrote that Curley's presentation was not a CWL presentation but, "the presentation was her individual expression of concern to the committee." She went on to say that "The Catholic Women's League of Canada does not present or condone viewpoints that fail to recognize and respect the dignity of all persons."
