You don’t have to be Catholic to be concerned about the harsh attacks recently levied against John Nienstedt, Coadjutor Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.  For the second time in less than a week, Archbishop John Nienstedt has been publically vilified for simply communicating the Catholic Church’s teaching on human sexuality.  In today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, Nick Coleman castigated the Archbishop for his recent column in the Catholic Spirit newspaper in which the Archbishop concisely and charitably explained the Catholic Church's teaching regarding a homosexual's obligation to chastity and the Church's obligation to support and encourage such a chaste lifestyle.  Nick Coleman’s criticisms, together with those of other homosexual activists, expose a deep-seated intolerance and hatred some have towards those who hold traditional values regarding human sexuality.  Send a note of thanks to Archbishop Nienstedt for standing-up to the intimidation tactics of homosexual activists.  Send a message to Star Tribune's executive management in response to Nick Coleman's column.

UPDATES: Read Archbishop Nienstedt's response letter to Nick Coleman's column.  Watch a video news story about protestors who gathered at the Catherderal of St. Paul.

Re: Archbishop Condemned for Stating Catholic Teaching on Human Sexuality    By John Diedrich on 1/13/2008
Having read the Archbishop's original column and Nick Coleman' column I can only surmise that Mr. Coleman did not actually read the cleric's writing before penning his own. Perhaps he read a synopsis on some GLBT website. Mr. Coleman is well known for his routinely bigoted spin on all things traditional. It seems he would have the Catholic Church change the words of the Bible to suit his desire to change the Church's basic tenets. I challenge him to follow the Church's teachings or change affiliation to the "Church of What's Happening" where he can do as he pleases without any rules to get in his way.

Not only is it traditional it is what is expected of people of God. I so appreciate the Archbishop for standing for God's will and not appeasing mankind. The will of God is the opposite of homosexual perversion. How dare anyone try to fool God. Thank you Archbishop for not giving in as most Christian churches have. It's the will of GOD not man.
