But now that the abuse picture has been thoroughly studied, the elephant is making a racket.  https://www.ncregister.com/current/0321lead3.htm   Boston, Call Dallas about Homosexuality It is coincidence, or perhaps Providence, that the U.S. bishops’ report on sex abuse has been released at precisely the time when Americans are arguing about homosexual marriage. These two news events already share one thing in common. It is painful to speak openly, frankly and honestly about either one. https://www.ncregister.com/current/0321lead2.htm   National Catholic Reporter supports gay ‘marriage’  https://tcrnews2.com/NCRAgenda.html   Study Finds Vegetarian Diet During Pregnancy Increases Risk of False Positives in Down Syndrome Screenings https://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2004/03/24/eline/links/20040324elin014.html   Federal Court Rules Against Newdow Effort to Remove Prayer/Chaplains from Congress https://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/the_valley/8275614.htm

They mounted a full-scale battle against Gibson, beginning almost as soon as he announced his plan to produce the movie. The Left unloaded on him with everything it had. The attempt failed. Why? Why did Hollywood walk away from what instantly became a blockbuster? For the same reason that the studios continue to lose hundreds of millions of dollars producing films that attack religion and morality: its intense hostility to Christianity and the value system it teaches.

Unless there is a great reversal, the inheritor will be Islam.  https://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north260.html   Dubai in the grip of Passion, advance bookings for the film soar https://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2004/March/theuae_March632.xml§ion=theuae [please cut & paste all lines of URL individually into the address bar]  Gay “marriage” licences denied in Albany https://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ny—gaymarriage0329mar29,0,1123506.story?coll=ny-ap-regional-wire   Survey finds 63% of Americans oppose same-sex marriage, 31% support it; 53% oppose same-sex civil unions, 40% support it https://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=P4EZRABYWOSU2CRBAEZSFFA?type=domesticNews&storyID=4660668&pageNumber=1   Muslim culture has contributed little for centuries, says Carey https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/03/26/narch26.xml   Franciscans and other religious treated like illegal immigrants by Israel https://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=531   Pope says Sundays for God, not sports https://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=857&ncid=757&e=10&u=/nm/20040326/od_uk_nm/oukoe_pope_sport
