Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

December 19, 2008

In the mid-18th Century, Jesuit scholar Guillaume Francois Berthier accurately assessed the potential for violence displayed by the forces of supposed tolerance.

Addressing secularists, Berthier wrote: ?You accuse us of fanaticism, while the hatred that animates you against our religion inspires in you a fanaticism whose excesses are difficult to imagine.?

Were he among us today, Berthier would have little difficulty recognizing that same potentially violent fanaticism among advocates of so-called gay marriage. Very few self-identified homosexuals are interested in participating in a politically correct parody of legitimate marriage.

The objective of this movement is to employ government power forcibly to redefine an institution ? the conventional family -- that existed anterior to the State, and is superior to it. They demand that the State commit lethal violence against society's foundational institution ? and their tactics will grow increasingly violent as their demands are resisted.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
