How did we pass from one extreme to another? It\u2019s owing to a plan that was carefully studied, elaborated, and financed by international lobbies that seek to destroy the family because they see it as an archaic and repressive institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is how they induced the World Health Organization to take homosexuality off the list of psychiatric illnesses,\u201d the archdiocese continues. \u201cThey then promoted the idea that it was very normal to be attracted to the same sex: on television and in the movies \u2018gay\u2019 characters appeared who provoked sympathy, and little by little people were becoming accustomed to see them as normal, and to tar-brush those who wouldn\u2019t accept it as \u2018homophobic.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gay lobby\u2019s campaign of misinformation is particularly destructive to children, notes the archdiocese, because it seeks to convince them that homosexual behavior is morally acceptable and even to convince them that they can change their gender. It also threatens to turn them over to homosexual adoptive parents whose influence will be inevitably detrimental to the child\u2019s proper development, the archdiocese warns.<\/p>\n<p>The homosexual movement \u201cseeks to teach children that there are not only men and woman, and that to be a person with same-sex attraction is normal. In the United States they\u2019re already using a book in preschool that says that families are comprised of two mothers or two fathers, and children\u2019s stories like \u2018King and King.\u2019 It is an intensive and pernicious campaign to promote the homosexual lifestyle from the most tender stage of childhood, and parents will not be able to oppose it,\u201d notes the archdiocese.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a child says \u2018I\u2019m Napoleon,\u2019 the teacher doesn\u2019t take the child to the head of the class, saying, \u2018Tell us how things went at Waterloo,\u2019 but rather she advises his parents so that they can send him to psychological therapy,\u201dthe editorial warns. \u201cBut if this initiative is accepted, the case will be, as is already happening in other countries, that when a child says: \u2018I\u2019m a girl,\u2019 they will accept what he says, he will immediately adopt a feminine name, he will have a new birth certificate, and permission to enter the girls\u2019 bathrooms and changing rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iteadthomam.com\/BOG_LSN\/\"><u>Click here to learn about St. Peter Damian\u2019s <em>Book of Gomorrah <\/em>and his crusade against a plague of sodomy and corruption in the Catholic Church, translated by LSN reporter Matthew Hoffman<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Homosexual adoption is a violation of the rights of the child, the archdiocese notes, treating adoption as if it existed to benefit the parents rather than as a means to benefit children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren must not be adopted to satisfy some need of the couple, but rather to do them some good, and it does them no good to grow up in a homosexual environment,\u201d notes the archdiocese. \u201cTo give a child to a homosexual marriage is to commit an injustice against him, by intentionally denying him his right to be raised in a balanced way by a father and a mother, and placing him in a very vulnerable position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The editorials were published on <a href=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lifesite\/files\/PDFs\/Mexico_City_editorial.pdf\">May 29<\/a> and July 24 of this year in the archdiocesan weekly newspaper <em>Desde la Fe<\/em> (From the Faith), largely in response to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/mexicos-president-proposes-constitutional-amendment-legalizing-same-sex-mar\">a new initiative<\/a> by Mexican president Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto to pass a constitutional amendment establishing \u201cmarriage\u201d between people of the same sex.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative has spurred <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/mexican-politicians-begin-to-retreat-on-homosexual-marriage-following-natio\">numerous protests across Mexico<\/a> and was widely regarded as having caused <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/mexicos-ruling-party-clobbered-in-elections-following-push-for-gay-marriage\">one of the biggest electoral defeats<\/a> in the history of the president\u2019s party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which for the first time has lost control of a majority of Mexico\u2019s 31 states.
