Pat Quinn vs. Catholicism

Written by Robert Klein Engler

On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, the professed Catholic governor of Illinois, Pat Quinn, signed a bill making same-sex marriage, or marriage between “two persons,” possible in the state.

Prior to Quinn’s signing the same-sex marriage bill, Francis Cardinal George condemned same-sex marriage in Illinois. The Cardinal said, “There will be consequences for the Church and society that will become clearer as the law is used to sue for discrimination.” He added that the new law is “bad law because it will contribute over the long run to the further dissolution of marriage and family life…”

Written by David E. Smith

This is ridiculous! Aren’t we tired of liberal cheer-leader Judy Barr Topinka? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have an honest liberal with a D after her name as Comptroller than radical liberal Republican [liar] like the one we have now. At least it will be truth in advertising!

I say we retire Topinka in November 2014 so she can get all the flowering experience she can for LGBTQ “weddings” in the years to come.  … Continue Reading

Written by David E. Smith

State Senator Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale) is a strong proponent of natural marriage.  IFA thanks Dillard for his very strong pro-marriage position and speech at the IFI Defend Marriage Lobby Day at the Capitol in October.  We need more pro-life, pro-marriage leaders like Senator Dillard — leaders who are not afraid of speaking plainly and boldly in defense of families, common sense and traditional values.

This is what he had to say to a crowd of close to 4,000 people:

Sen. Kirk Discriminates Against Christian Group

Called To “Fight”

Written by Bill Johnson, American Decency Association

The true Christian is called to be a soldier, and must behave as such from the day of his conversion to the day of his death. He is not meant to live a life of pious ease, indolence and security. [J.C. Ryle, Holiness]

Daily the grip of socialism is expanding – swallowing up liberty. Eating at your income, freedom of speech and religion, your sense of well-being.

There are those (perhaps you are one) who are fighting and being bloodied. … Continue Reading
