written by Frank Schubert, the man who managed the campaign to enact the constitutional amendment in California

This man has served God’s purposes in an important way.

*Proposition 8, passed in November 2008, was an amendment to California’s state Constitution stating that marriage is between one man and one woman.

Well, just like in those wrestling matches, the fix was in. The fix has been in for awhile when it comes to gay marriage.

From the article: “To nobody’s surprise, Walker ruled that Prop 8—which reflected a point of view on the definition of marriage that until five years before its adoption had been held in every single state in the nation, and virtually every other country since the dawn of time—violated the Fourteenth Amendment and was thus illegal under the US Constitution.”

I suppose that if one had asked the authors of the 14th Amendment they would have denied that there were authorizing same sex marriage.

At the end of the day the SCOTUS could have rejected every legal argument. The decision was completely theirs and they made it.

I have no doubt that many people thought SCOTUS’s decision against Dred Scott in 1857 was rightful. Thank God sanity and true justice eventually prevailed (with a different group of justices).

The American government now makes up the rules as it goes. It’s now a system of “might makes right”, a government that makes itself a (false) god.

Always has. But with socialism they are more open about it.

I think America’s foundation was a foundation of sand to begin with since it was rooted in the individualism and relativism of Protestantism. America doesn’t have the Holy Spirit backed guarantee of infallibility that our Magisterium has. Our Church teachings have remained essentially the same for about 2,000 years. By contrast, America is constantly tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The Church is like a big, solid rock while America is like a ping pong ball.
