BRUSSELS, April 23, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an astonshing display of gentleness in the face of a vile attack, the head of the Catholic Church in Belgium, Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, remained calmly seated with eyes closed in prayer Tuesday as four topless women attacked him with shouts and curses and doused him with water. It’s not the first time the bishop has been attacked for standing up for the Church’s teachings on homosexuality and expressing his concern for those who live the homosexual lifestyle. The incident took place at the ULB University in Brussels where the archbishop was participating in a debate on blasphemy laws. The four women, representing the pro-abortion and homosexual group FEMEN, took to the stage where they disrobed to reveal black-painted slogans on their bare chests and backs, such as ‘my body my rules,’ and 'anus dei is coming.' They also held signs reading ‘stop homophobia’. The women doused the archbishop with water from bottles formed in the image of the Virgin Mary. For most of the attack, which lasted a number of minutes before the women could be forced off stage, Archbishop Leonard sat drenched with water with eyes closed in prayer. After the ordeal, the archbishop kissed the image of the Virgin Mary on one of the water bottles that was used in the attack. Le Soir reports that one of the interveners said of the archbishop: “He was very calm and maintained a position of prayer. I have to believe he was praying for us.” According to FEMEN, Tuesday’s attack was spurred by an interview three weeks ago where Archbishop Leonard said that when speaking to Christians who are inclined to homosexuality he suggests celibacy, as is required for all single persons. Already in 2007, as Bishop of Namur, Archbishop Leonard was accused of an offence against the Belgian anti-racism act for calling homosexual acts “abnormal”. In 2008 he was cleared of homophobia charges after appearing in court. In 2010, as the new archbishop of Brussels, the archbishop was targeted by homosexualist groups, and condemned by the country’s prime minister, after he said that AIDS is a consequence of risky sexual behavior, including homosexual sexual activity. Also in 2010 he was attacked at his Cathedral by a man who shoved a cherry pie in the archbishop’s face. Again in 2011, homosexual activists at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve near Brussels threw a custard pie in the archbishop’s face. Archbishop Leonard has been a great supporter for the pro-life movement in Belgium, speaking at their inaugural March for Life in 2010.

Well, that certainly works for the pedophiles. They have a problem with homosexuals. I think everyone understands that. Isn't it enough that they aren't homosexuals? I know. THey think that 'god' has 'his' finger on the Smite Button, just waiting for a reason to destroy everything. That gives them permission to butt in (pun not intended. OK, it was intended). Satan's servants. Well, Ukrainian women are hot hot hot as "hell". And FEMEN is not a homosexual .org. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMEN
The clergy of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church are one thing- but the laity is something else entirely. Keep in mind that the vast majority of the Crusaders from all periods were from the secular realm. All that we need now is a Pope, or strong Catholic ruler in the secular realm, to cry CRUSADE and you're going to see these disgusting commie scumbags get pulverized. What no one seems to realize is that there's a very strong undercurrent- the Church, in its lay context, is getting angry because Christ is getting angry and sooner or later you'll see a Catholic backlash. It might take a generation or two- but when it happens it's not going to be pretty. People who aren't Catholic don't know the dual name of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church- the Church Triumphant and the Church Militant. Or, the Church in Heaven and the Church on Earth.
I disagree, and here's why. The catholic church has lost almost all of its power. They're on their way out. They don't have what it takes to do another crusade. Or Inquisition. 300 + or - churches sitting vacant in Philly alone. articles.philly.com/2012-...-congregation-real-estate I think in a generation or 2, there will not be a catholic church. Or it will be so small as to be inconsequential. They did it to themselves. Yes, I'm sure they'll blame Satan. They always do. But they should look in the mirror. That they won't look in the mirror is what dooms them.
The various flavors of Christianity - Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, etc, are all creations of man, stupid, flawed man. They have all perverted the simple message of Salvation for mankind.
free lunch do what you want, do the worst you can imagine, and jesus will save you if you believe jesus will ave you
