Massachusetts North - NH allows Gay "Marriage"
Hello Dear Ones,
About two days ago, our Pharaoh, Barack Hussein Obama announced that June is National Gay Pride Month here in the USA. Oddly, I was only mildly surprised. This is the usual sort of miasma churning forth from the bowels of the Obama administration, and therefore to be expected.
What I was NOT expecting was the the signing into law by our Governor John Lynch, a Bill allowing Gay "Marriage" in the State of New Hampshire.
You see, Mr. Lynch is on the record in print, audio, and video as saying essentially..."I believe that marriage is the sacred union between one man, and one woman, and as such, will not allow it in NH" (until that time we had Civil Unions.)
NH has become the 6th state in our Republic to enact such a law. (How ironic that ultra-liberal California rejected such a measure).
Despite the fact that over 65% of NH citizens do not support gay marriage, Mr. Lynch crumbled to deep -pocket influence peddlers and lobbyists, mainly from out of state. (Thus earning him the moniker Gov. Flynch.)
Even a call to add a non-binding referendum to the issue in November was soundly rejected. Should not the good citizens of NH be allowed to speak as provided by the Constitution?
Also, although the Bill affords some protections to religious organizations who refuse to officiate based on moral grounds, it fails to protect vendors and service providers who also object on these same grounds.
They would be accused of discrimination, and fined tens of thousands of dollars.
And so, Gov. Lynch has his victory (for now), and we continue our downward slide into the abyss of moral decay.
Illigitimi non carborundum,
Marty

Via con Dios Father Marc
This morning I started my day by reading a headline story in the Union Leader that disturbed me to my core.
After 21 years of inspired and dedicated service, Fr. Marc Montminy, our faith-filled shepard at my parish of St. Marie in Manchester, NH, is to be transferred to another parish located in Exeter, NH.
In yet another example of indecipherably poor judgement, Bishop John McCormick (who is ruining the Diocese of Manchester faster than the Obama administration is ruining the Republic of the United States) made the decision to send Fr. Marc to St. Michael's parish. This in turn will subsequently displace their pastor, my old friend Fr. Marc Drouin, to an as yet unmentioned parish.
Needless to say the news is devastating to all the faithful flock at St. Marie, so many of whose lives have been deeply touched by his sincerity and passion.
Fr. Marc, a conservative and Charismatic priest, poured himself tirelessly into faithful stewardship of a church that empowered the congregation to develop and maintain over 80 separate ministries, including cancer support, Bible study, youth ministry, healing prayer, outreach programs, youth education, music ministry, and many too numerous to mention here.
Fr. Marc drew congregants from most all of the outlying towns of Manchester, many times filling to capacity at the 11:30 mass, a church that seats 1400.
Despite this painful news, our God remains faithful.
I have learned that Fr. Moe Larochelle, cousin to one of my dearest friends, Marc Larochelle, is slated to replace Fr. Marc.
Despite that fact that he has an incredible void to fill, Fr. Moe is cut from the same holy cloth as Fr. Marc, and I have no doubt that over time the legacy will live on in him.
Be well. Be safe.
