REDMOND. Washington, September 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The abuse and corruption of the Internet by email spammers, pornographers and sex predators has led Microsoft to announce Wednesday that it would shut down its Internet chat rooms in 28 countries.  The increasing volume of viruses, objectionable unsolicited email (spam), pornography and sexual deviants using the Internet to lure children and others into viewing porn and even into sexual liaisons, has been causing major problems for the entire Internet system.

MELBOURNE, Australia September 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A victim of medical mutilation wants doctors to reverse his “sex-change” surgery.

After this, he had […]

TORONTO, September 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “Atheists should be aware that the House of Commons forgot about them when it passed Svend Robinson’s Bill C-250,” warned Catholic Civil Rights League President Tom Langan. “The amendment made at third reading added protection for opinions based on belief in religious texts, but no defence was provided for citizens who may object to homosexual conduct for non-religious reasons.”  The most worrisome part of the law, however, is the section that was not touched by the third reading amendment.  “There is no defence to what is called ‘public incitement of hatred’,” said Langan. “What […]

TORONTO, September 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Recent actions by both provincial and federal governments supporting dramatic legislative changes favouring homosexuality and same-sex ‘marriage’ are causing strong reaction in increasing numbers of churches.  For example, this past Sunday, at Precious Blood Catholic Church in Scarborough, Ontario, associate pastor Fr.

The 77-year-old retired pastor is widely respected for steadfast faithfulness, having brought the Cursillo movement to Canada in 1963 and for also […]
