No more gay adoptions of Russian children: Putin

by Hilary White – Apr 02, 2013

MOSCOW, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Homosexual couples from abroad will not be allowed to adopt Russian children under new rules backed by President Vladimir Putin. The move follows the implementation of a new law on January 1st preventing adoption of Russian children by American couples.

Putin has asked for amendments to be drafted to the current adoption laws by the Ministry of Education and Science and Supreme Court, Izvestia newspaper reports. The draft legislation is expected by July 1st.

 The move is supported by children’s rights commissioner Pavel Astakhov who recently said he would do all he could to prevent Russian children being adopted by same-sex partners. Commenting on plans by the French Socialist government to institute “gay marriage,” Astakhov said that allowing Russian children to be adopted by homosexuals would be “unconstitutional”.

Controversy has been stirred in Russia over the impending “gay marriage” laws in Britain and France, with Foreign Ministry official Konstantin Dolgov saying that the changes “narrow the chances” of adoptions to be considered from those countries.

Resistance Movement Growing to Islamization of France

April 6, 2013 – By JanSuzanne Krasner

Europe as a continent made up of multicultural nations is at the precipice of obliteration. This may sound melodramatic, but it is exactly what the members of a new French political youth movement called “Generation Identitaire” fear and they are willing to stand up and unite across Europe to stop it.

France was introduced to this group on October 20th, 2012 when about 100+ members made their way to the roof of a mosque in Poitiers, France and hung a huge banner in view of the Minaret that clearly read: “Immigration, building of mosques REFERENDUM!” along with the number “732.”

The meaning was clear to the French. Poitiers was the place that on October 25, 732, a Muslim invasion was defeated by Charles Martel which stopped Arab expansion into Western Europe. This demonstration was a symbolic statement by ‘Generation Identitaire’ who are declaring a war on immigration and committing themselves to be the front lines in the peaceful protection of their national identity and their families.  Video of the Poitiers demonstration below:
Europe is becoming a place where the national identity of many nations is being challenged by the growing influence of Muslim immigration and political correctness. This is undoubtedly happening in France with a population of 6-11 million Muslims and it is leading the way to French extinction. (more…)

Council issues Controversial Mosque Permit – VCAT’s Blunder or Council’s?

15th April 2013

City of Casey Council issued the permit to build a controversial Mosque in Doveton last week, while VCAT had received an application against this development from Catch the Fire Ministries. Who made the major blunder? Is it VCAT or Council??

The controversial mega mosque proposed to be built right next to Catch The Fire Ministries new base in Doveton was approved by the City of Casey Council last month, in spite of more than 2000 petitions against it by local and City of Casey residents.

Community concern was completely overlooked by the Council.

Catch The Fire Ministries lodged an application against the Council’s decision with VCAT on 28th March 2013 (within the 21 day period) and received confirmation from VCAT the same day.

British Christians fed up with coarse, sneering mockery of Christianity

by Hilary White – LONDON, April 5, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) 

Ann Widdecombe, a former Conservative Party MP and social commentator, has written in the Daily Telegraph that British people are fed up with the increasingly unfunny and hateful barbs against Christianity in comedy programs.

The laughs today, she wrote in an op-ed, are sought not in subtlety but in coarseness, sneering at the creed having replaced satire aimed at the believers, and mockery of the person of Christ replacing mockery of His all too fallible followers. It is a vital distinction.

Although Christianity and comedy have long been natural bedfellows, she added, something has changed in recent years. Gentle mockery or sharp satire aimed at Christians and their leaders have been replaced by abuse of Christianity itself.

Widdecombe, a convert to Catholicism from the Anglican Church, was asked by the BBC to investigate why Christianity is such an appealing target for comedians and why Christians might not like it.

After all, the BBC execs reasoned, comedy producers respect Islam sufficiently to avoid laughing at the Prophet, so why are even the most sacred aspects of this country’s major faith seemingly the stuff of so much comedy? Is it because the Church here is seen as part of the Establishment? Or is it due to the rise of militant atheism? Or is it simply that comics would be afraid to do to Islam that which they regularly do in their routines to Christianity?? (more…)

Very Successful RUAP Western Australia Campaign

Dear family & friends in Christ,

From Thursday 4th to Monday 8th April, Pr Daniel, along with Jane Foreman, the Rise Up Australia Party lead Senate Candidate for WA, campaigned in several locations in WA. He also preached at 2 different churches on Sunday.

The meetings were well attended in Geraldton, Bunbury, Mandurah & Perth (in 3 cities). The people responded with great excitement and many joined the party at the ten meetings where they spoke. The Geraldton and Bunbury newspapers published very good articles before the meetings.

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/regional/gascoyne/a/-/news/16532372/foreman-announced-as-rise-up-president/

Pr Daniel and Jane were interviewed by Howard Sattler on 6PR Radio, a very popular Talk Back Radio Station in WA. Pr Daniel was expected to debate a Muslim youth leader who didn’t show up, who was then to be replaced by an Islamic professor, who also didn’t show up.  Neither were contactable. This gave 30 minutes of airtime to promote Rise Up Australia Party, including the well-known radio host, who even promoted the details of the campaign meetings in all locations in WA.

We thank God for the amazing media favour we have been receiving ever since RUAP official launch on 11th February 2013 at the National Press Club in Canberra.

The Sunday services in Mandurah & Perth were absolutely wonderful as the mighty presence and power of the Holy Spirit touched many!

With Jesus, Pope’s Seat is Never Vacant as Christ is the Ultimate Head of the Church

 By Ruth Malhotra , CP Op-Ed Contributor – March 1, 2013

Religion rarely dominates global news headlines, but Pope Benedict’s resignation has proven a notable exception. The mainstream media, usually reluctant to focus on matters of faith, is watching and reporting with fascination as the Roman Catholic Church faces a historic and unprecedented transition. Thursday’s coverage was particularly striking, as commentators repeatedly stated – in tones ranging from intellectual curiosity to intense anguish – that “the papacy is vacant” and “the seat of Saint Peter is empty” and “the church around the world is without a leader.”

Social media is also flooded with analysis of these developments, and the official papal twitter account (@Pontifex), is even listed as “Sede Vacante.” For the estimated 1.4 billion Catholics around the world, there does seem to be a sudden void. Some are responding with doubt and despair as the Catholic Church has encountered many tumultuous challenges in recent years, and others express anticipation and hope that a new Pope will usher in a renewed vision for the Vatican.

But amidst all the speculation, perhaps this is valuable time for Catholics – and for all of us who claim the name of Christ – to reflect and be reminded that there is indeed a leader who is always on His throne. A leader whose supremacy and sufficiency and strength are never in question. A leader who is seated in Heaven, and – even at this moment – is interceding to God the Father on our behalf.

Yes, believers must look beyond prominent people and formal institutions – however historic and impactful they may be – to the preeminent role of Jesus Christ as the true Head of the church.

With this in mind, how can we respond with clarity and courage, effectively contending for the faith and comforting our brothers and sisters during these times of transition?

Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the foundation of the church.

The Bible continually calls believers to focus on the supremacy of Christ and the authority and inspiration of God’s Word in every aspect of our lives, and highlights His role as the foundation of the church. In Colossians 1:18, the apostle Paul says, “And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.”
