Senate committee rejects proposed signs for non-discrimination

Non-Discrimination Project, which provides a privileged status to homosexual acts and a prosecution tool against those who consider such behavior as "intrinsically disordered" according to Catholic doctrine, it passes this week's Human Rights Commission the Constitution Committee of the Senate.

As our readers will recall, in April last request that was emailed to the Senators to submit a statement to the Project, to remove Article 3 ° the term "sexual orientation." If this term is removed, the project loses much of its harmful character, it ceases to be a specific law for homosexuals, which increasingly has become clearer during processing.

We know that Senators boxes were stocked with thousands of requests to withdraw the said expression of the Project. In response to this request, reports the Senate's website, the Project received instructions to remove the term "sexual orientation" from the Senators Sabag, Chadwick, Arancibia, Romero and Orpis. For his part, Senator Novoa also submitted a statement amends article 3, excluding the term.

However, last May, these guidelines were rejected by the Commission on Human Rights, with the votes of Senators Nelson Avila (PRSD) and Jaime Naranjo (PS) of the Coalition, and thanks to the abstention of Senator Cantero and Kuschell absence of Senator, who was expected to vote against the statement, "sexual orientation."

According to reports a homosexual lobby page, Senator Chadwick would have told the president of the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation (MOVILH), Rolando Jimenez: "I approve of your law" (cf. http://www.opusgay.cl/1315 / article-82017.html # h2_1).

President Bachelet also submitted a statement to Article 3, but obviously not to remove the term "sexual orientation", but to add the following paragraph: "Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 2 of Law No. 19 638, the distinctions that made religious institutions according to the activities referred to in Articles 6 and 7 of the Act shall not be deemed arbitrary. "

Such statement submitted by the Executive would be designed to reassure the religious authorities, who have expressed their apprehension that this project triggers a chase to the free expression of Catholics, as is happening in England and other European countries.

However, the indication is not a guarantee for Catholics, as referred to article 7 refers specifically to "religious organizations." Therefore, any lay Catholic who develop a "distinction" on homosexual conduct may be punishable by afflictive penalties of up to 5 years in prison. Furthermore, article 2 of the law that says the President, states that may not be invoked religious beliefs for discrimination prohibited by this law. ("No person shall be discriminated against on the basis of their religious beliefs, nor can they be invoked as a reason to cancel, restrict or impair equality enshrined in the Constitution and the law.") Therefore, a Catholic can not claim his status to say that homosexuality is a behavior "intrinsically disordered" or a parent may object to your child to have a homosexual teacher, etc.

Pope Benedict XVI is aware of the harmfulness of these projects that entitle homosexuality with the name "non-discrimination on sexual orientation, being Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, warned that" it is inappropriate Church authorities to endorse or remain neutral toward adverse legislation even if they grant exemptions to organizations or institutions of the Church. The Church has a responsibility to promote public morality of the entire civil society on the basis of fundamental moral values, not just to protect itself from the application of harmful laws "(cf." Considerations for the Catholic response to legislative proposals of non-discrimination to homosexuals, "July 23, 1992, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.)

The first thing we should think, is how to organize to promote the true values ... to the young especially, because they are seduced by these currents of thought wrongly called progressives to admire and praise life absolutely deviant behavior from the path of True, there is fear and a misunderstanding respect when he makes this issue quite a ... not afraid to face the lie, to appear on the cover of the nation or the clinic, as fascist reactionaries and all that we invent ... ... WHAT IS MORE WE MUST ADD Urge BETWEEN FORCES AND PRAYERS TO ALL OUR COMPANY TO BE CHRIST'S RETURN ... does not falter, we are easy to promote the truth ... people today do not support sound doctrine, but to God Everything Is Possible even return to the values of always ... despite all the debauchery of today, there is always hope.

    2. Unfortunate that Chile has entered the globalization of the securities or better "disvalues", despite being told that we are backward, modern little ... I still believe in the family, women in the male partner in marriage
      Now we see that the legislators, some have cast their Christian principles in his pocket, only brought to light when it suits them

    3. I share all the apprehensions against the project mentioned. Homosexuality is not a healthy condition, though not necessarily a perversion.

    4. What else can wait two Masons

    5. This is a wake-up call to see the prophetic context we are living in qu. Difficult times, where a good is called evil and evil is called good. This is the scenario that shows apocalypse, and so I announce Jesus Christ, that from Him would be like in the days of Lot, a world where homosexuality predominates, but all those who have received Jesus Christ and are born again This is the faithful fulfillment of the promise that Christ is coming, the end is coming ... nothing is to seek the kingdom of God, because everything will soon fall trials before this evil ...

    6. Family Action would be excellent would guide us on what we can do now, what are the instances that follow in which we continue to express our rejection of such laws.

      Embarrassing as Senator Cantero, and the Senator who did not attend will have to give very good explanations.

    7. That we can sorpender, this and other things to come is just what it offers Socialism and social relativism, Down with "Family" and the state reborn canibal montruoso giant.
      These laws ... if you can call them, are aberrations that violate the most elemental of a person, a sense of decency and morality.
      The Joy fence if this coming!

    8. Senator Carlos Cantero my region is not the first time we are disappointed. Where is listen to those who elected them? and let go by minorities that disrupt the most basic principles of our society.

    9. When you have a child at age 15 was raped by a homosexual, it seems quite demeaning ciudanos share a country with promoting prostitution and child support abortion in adolescents. Prostitution, as a few days ago we saw a television program and on abortion, blinded to the government's desire to impose indiscriminate use of morning-after pill. Marriage is a paradigm of Christians, and can not be fouled by homosexuals. If you want to legalize their relationships desgeneradas, hagando!, But far from the word marriage, because marriage is a engrendra life gay however, only shares SHIT.

    10. That irresponsibility by the Senator who did not come, and this was approved as well, and which failed to say.
      That disappointment of our representatives right, and do not see the item values, morals and doctrine. Truly mediocre types morally speaking, worst of all is that nobody represents us, to all those who want a country with good people both in thought and in action.

    11. Here operates in two ways, first speaks of diversity but with one of equality, both sound good, but is disrupted.
      The equality (citizenship mass) that is intended, destroy the common bond that characterizes any healthy society, to ignore the particular or changed.
      The diverse (individualism), fulfills the same function to put the personal interests above the common, also destroying the collective project.

      This proyectenlo the theme of the themes of morality, ethics and the conduct of each person and group.

      Destroy spirituality, to destroy the family, ending with nation states.

    12. What a pity!

      Thinking seems to legislate in the "common good" gave way to legislate the "exceptions."

      In addition, many laws we see today are involved in thinking and behavior of people at unacceptable levels. You could almost say that "I'm being expropriated my freedom."
