Pro-Abortion/Same-Sex “Marriage” Belinda Stronach to be Keynote Speaker at Catholic College in Western Canada

August 19, 2008

MUENSTER, Saskatchewan, August 18, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - St. Peter’s College, a Benedictine liberal arts school affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan, and which describes itself as being deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, has invited Belinda Stronach, known for her support of abortion and same-sex marriage, to be the keynote speaker at its fund-raising dinner to be held September 16, 2008.

A spokeswoman at St. Peter’s college told LifeSiteNews.com that Stronach was chosen to speak at their Gala dinner because of her business experience and fund-raising acumen, but declined to comment on whether the college was concerned about Stronach’s position on issues which put her in direct opposition to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Stronach has a lengthy history of actively promoting abortion and homosexual “marriage.” Earlier this year LifeSiteNews.com reported that the Liberal MP was one of a handful of Canadian politicians photographed marching in the raunchy Toronto Gay Pride Parade. She has also participated in the parade in previous years.

In 2006 LifeSiteNews reported that Stronach told the Toronto Star that she believed that only pro-abortion women’s groups should receive government funding.  Stronach said, “[Pro-life women's groups] should be rejected because they’re anti-choice and they’re also anti-equal rights. They don’t support equality.”

Stronach’s comments to the press closely resembled those she made in the House of Commons the day before the Toronto Star published its story.  Stronach slammed the government for even hearing the opinions of REAL Women, a pro-life and pro-family women’s group. “This is a group that is anti-choice, anti-gay, does not support equality for women and wants to obliterate the Department on the Status of Women,” said Stronach. “This group’s website even has links to sites that suggest that day cares do not care and homosexuality is a psychological disorder.”

The politician has made numerous other statements throughout the years affirming her support for numerous issues that run directly in opposition to fundamental Catholic moral teachings.

A request for comment to the president of St. Peter’s College was not answered by press time.

No one was available for comment at the office of the Bishop of Saskatoon.

    Shame on you! You couldn’t just say “The Gay Pride Parade” you had too throw in a dig “raunchy”.
    Stronach is a true Christian unlike the people who run this hateful publication. I think I need too remind you that Pride is a celebration of diversity and love. But you wouldn’t know anything about love.
    Your organization is always preaching about protection of family. Let me remind you hateful people that there are many gay families and your words and actions only hurt them. Your organization hurts more children than any Gay Family and you are responsible for inciting hate and intolerance towards these children. Once again “SHAME ON YOU” Jesus warned all of us about people like you and your followers.
    Stop hurting Children, Gay Children and their families and start practicing what you so boldly preach.

    Mr. Cartner, anyone who truly believes in what their religion teaches is not practicing hate or intolerance when they evangelize. Regardless of whether you are Muslim, Hindu, Catholic, or any religion, when you condemn another for their actions that do not comply with your religion’s teachings, it is done out of love. Why would anyone care what someone else does if they are not concerned with that person’s salvation. Branding love as hate is one of the most common problems today and if you had really taken time to read the article, especially considering the source, you would realize that the condemnation is on the part of the Catholic university for inviting someone diametrically opposed to the Church’s teachings to be a speaker.

Got something to say?
