Calgary Bishop Henry Stands Firm in Upholding Catholic Teaching

CALGARY, March 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Even in the face of two human rights complaints, Calgary Bishop Fred Henry is refusing to back down over his pastoral and public statements on same-sex marriage, in which he faithfully presented the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality.

In addition to the two separate human rights complaints by Calgarians Carol Johnson and Norman Greenfield were launched, Bishop Henry noted that his teachings have spurned a slew of angry letters and even death threats. He said that the death threats were reported to police, "I told them 'in case something happens to me, you might want to look at these sources.'"

He added, "It's not going to change me - my job is to be bishop, a pastor, a teacher ... church teachings are very clear on orientation with respect to sexuality - none of that can change."

This man has courage of a martyr...He is under attack by the forces of evil. We need to keep in our prayers.
