A large rally in support of Zmuda was held last night:

*Ousted Eastside Catholic vice principal Mark Zmuda still wants his job back, but a boisterous Seattle forum Friday night delivered an additional message: Whatever happens, the school is not going back.

Some 250 supporters of “Mr. Z” were welcomed to the parish hall St. Joseph Church to discuss the Catholic Church’s attitude toward gays and why it must change. An emotional Zmuda came onstage to announce formation of a “Stand with Mr. Z Foundation.”*

Mary deRosas, a St. Joseph parishoner and Jesuit lay volunteer, disputed the Catholic hierarchy’s opposition to gay unions with these words: “The Church may say one thing about sexual orientation, but I hear God saying another.”

Such words have shocked some traditionalist Catholics, who see living their faith in terms of doctrine and obedience, even if teachings not fully comprehended must be taken on faith.

Thousands of Christians were put to death for the sake of preserving the/their faith, and here she is undermining it. 😦
 
America is fast becoming the front line in this spiritual war, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe that’s fitting, in a way; I love my country, what it used to be and what it could be again. That’s worth fighting for. God is worth fighting for. Hope is worth fighting for.

Prayer and fasting, folks. Time to take up arms, so to speak.
