Canada: “Removal of gay altar servers is a church matter, parishioner contends”



Valerie MacDonald reports in Northumberland Today:

The 12 Cobourg Catholic parishioners and diocese bishop named in an Ontario Human Rights Tribunal complaint over an accusation of discrimination due to sexual orientation filed a response to the complaint by today’s deadline.

Essentially, the response filed with the Commission was that the issue is “not a human rights problem but a church matter,” Reg Ward of Cobourg, one of the 12 parishioners at St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church, told Northumberland Today in an interview yesterday.

    There are those who would have us render unto Caesar all things, including those that are God’s. Homosexuality is condemned both in His Old and New Testaments. This would be censored as hate speech by those so disposed and they would have Holy Scripture edited and rewritten accordingly.
