Has California banned the sales of other books before?
Has California banned a certain book from a certain German?
 
Reading is Fundamental. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.

True, and my post, at least how I read it, says nothing contrary to the Church’s teaching. It is just that what concerns me is the LB… whatever, community looking to take legal action against the RCC. Pass laws like this, and it provides a platform or a basis for legal action. Will we see lawsuits against Catholic organizations forcing them to stop providing services (has already happened with adoption in other states who will not place children with homosexual couples) or facilities for such groups. Will the gay agenda sue for the use of Catholic facilities based on new laws. Will the gay agenda try to force the RCC to marry gay couples based on civil rights grounds? Pass more and more such laws, and is it not out of the realm of the possible?
 
From the National Catholic Register:

“The broad reach of AB 2942 leaves even simple religious speech on same-sex attraction or activities open to legal action and impinges on the basic human right of freedom of religion,” said the California Catholic Conference in a statement."
 
Are Catholics commanded by the Church to not teach Catholic moral teachings with respect to homosexual activity?

With respect to the bill, remember that it will be a court acting on a lawsuit which determines what the law means. Yes, it will be used against the Church.
 
Canada has no Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Worship, and Freedom of the Press are all nonexistent.
 
look at the who behind the bill and listen to what they say.
California State Assemblymember, Al Muratsuchi, said, “The First Amendment does not prohibit banning fraudulent conduct. The faith community, like anyone else, needs to evolve with the times.”

Samuel Brinton said he wanted to “figure out a way to stop” pastors and churches from offering counsel to help people change unwanted same-sex attractions. He went on to say, “I may not be able to FIND every little camp…every pastor, but I can make it something that is culturally unacceptable.” He added, “Yes, it’s directly affecting mental health professionals, but by proxy, it’s affecting everyone else.” https://canadafreepress.com

Camrose (Canada) Christian school may battle school division over Bible teachings World News
Legal advocates for a Christian school southeast of Edmonton says the Battle River School Division (BRSD) wants to censor what parts of the Bible the Cornerstone Christian Academy can teach to students. Trustees of the school division, based in Camrose, say the board will spend part of a meeting this Thursday discussing Bible verses that the school proposed including in a handbook for students and parents. The BRSD’s Diane Hutchinson said trustees think the verses might contravene Alberta’s …

We don’t have a Bill of Rights but we have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms but there is the notwithstanding clause, which allows the suspension of parts of it.
Section 33.
(1) Parliament or the legislature of a province may expressly declare in an Act of Parliament or of the legislature, as the case may be, that the Act or a provision thereof shall operate notwithstanding a provision included in section 2 or sections 7 to 15.

Section 2 has already been quoted so here’s some of 7-15:
  1. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice
  2. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
  3. Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
  4. Everyone has the right on arrest or detention
    a) to be informed promptly of the reasons therefor;
    b) to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right; and
    c) to have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful.
  5. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
  6. A party or witness in any proceedings who does not understand or speak the language in which the proceedings are conducted or who is deaf has the right to the assistance of an interpreter.
  7. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
    (2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

Maybe Muratsuchi should read the Bible instead of pretending to understand the Christian faith and telling Christians what to do with faith issues when he has absolutely no clue about Christianity:
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world[c]
[c]Romans 12:2 Greek age

Thanks for adding to the discussion. It was plainly absurd that the rights mentioned earlier were denied Canadians. It’s kind of funny reading the Charter of Rights and Freedoms vs the Bill of Rights; they come from such different times yet are based on English Law.

The notwithstanding clause seems to map pretty closely the suspension of Habeas Corpus allowed in Article 1 section 9 of the US Constitution:
The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

This has happened a few times in American history. The US Government State Governors have the right also to declare a state of emergency or martial law, potentially doing the same or some form of it. The understanding of course is that these suspensions of rights last only as long as the length of the disaster, uprising, or whatever.
 
I’m just gonna leave this here. (TLDR, no California is NOT banning Bible sales)

Misinformation is a powerful weapons, and articles such as the one you posted are harmful to us all. Both the people in California who are getting bashed over this, and harmful to the intelligence of the people who take it heart.

I’m not criticizing or anything, just asking that everyone please be careful with verifying the accuracy of the things they share both here and across other social media.

We have a War Measures Act for emergencies.
This clause could be used for non-emergencies. It expires every 5 years but it’s allowed to be renewed. Quebec used it to help supress the English language in the commercial sector. Quebec recently threatened to use it to ban Islamic face veils.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Yet, I have to be critical. It is sites like WND that amplify the ignorance of those that believe anything simply because it falls into the realm of information that conservatives want to believe to be true. It only confirms the foolishness to the mainstream culture. Therefore failing to convince anyone to adhere to a spiritual foundation.

Hence, we need to lead by good examples, not bad ones. Unfortunately, this is an example of the latter…
