Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I make an urgent request for you all to please fast and pray against the Civil Union Bill which is being discussed and voted for in the Parliament in New Zealand, at the end of this week. It passed its second reading by a vote of 65 to 50, for the Bill. Please pray the Rosary, if you can (I believe it is one of the most powerful prayers available to us Catholics), and fast on bread and water if you can (for even half a day).
Civil Union is the first step on the road to homosexual marriage and parenting. This Bill is something that will create social problems for many children in this country for years to come if it is allowed to be passed into law. Not to mention that Christians will probably be labeled “hate criminals” for opposing homosexual lifestyles.
It is an attempt to reduce the Sacrament of marriage to the same level as de-facto relationships, same sex relationships and other imitations of marriage. One of the clauses in the Bill will allow heterosexual couples to transfer their marriage to a Òcivil unionÓ and vice versa. This makes an absolute mockery or marriage and it will make it even easier for couples to dissolve marriages. Although this clause does not apply to homosexual couples most experts believe that it would only be a matter of time before this would be challenged in the High Court as being discriminatory to homosexual couples.
There is also strong evidence the Bill will allow homosexual couples who marry overseas in places like the Netherlands , etc the right to have their homosexual marriages recognised in NZ. This will mean that for all intents and purposes we will have legalised homosexual marriage in NZ because the only thing a gay couple will need to do to marry is travel to a country like the Netherlands , get married and then return home to NZ where their marriage will be recognised under law.
The government is attempting to fast track several other major pieces of legislation that will impinge upon our rights as Christians in this country.

- The proposed Hate Speech law would see imprisonment as an option for anyone who spoke out against any issue of moral importance, such as homosexuality
- Phil GoffÕs Confiscation of property law would allow for the freezing of finances and the confiscation of the property of people who havenÕt been found guilty or even charged with a crime
- The new charities act which is set to come before parliament on December the 10th, it appears to still have the clause in it which threatens any charitable trust with the loss of tax free status if they engage in political lobbying
