In Defence Of Archbishop Julian Porteous

down below is a manuscript from our YouTube Channel Thought Digest which ensures that common sense and the truth are upheld

“Good evening everyone, welcome to a component of the Conservatives United program here on Thought Digest, I’m forced to present here today due to the failure of many mainstream and local newspapers such as the ABC, Tasmanian Times, Qnews and The Mercury for attacking the Catholic Church in Hobart, and it’s Archbishop, His Grace Julian Porteous in regards to what has been seen as a growing infiltration of left-wing politics in schools, more specifically Catholic Schools under the authority of CET. A letter, stated on the 2nd May as “We are Salt to the Earth” has received large amounts of criticism by both the Tasmanian Labor Party and Tasmanian Greens as well as from the organisation Equality Tasmania. What these papers and parties have failed to take into consideration is that the actions of the woke community, more specifically the LGBTQIA+ group have individually attacked members of the Catholic community for freely expressing their faith, and have also attacked me on the matters. These people are preventing me as well as others from practicing religious faith. After making my position clear at the start of this year I have had to face well over 200 people from the LGBTQ community, many of whom had failed to engage in genuine debate and instead persisted in sending death threats and constant harassment under the guise of anonymous online profiles.

I have clear evidence of this happening as being a former member of a Student Leadership team in a Catholic school this year, where many of the members elected have consolidated progressive views and have attempted to implement progressive politics within Catholic schools such as the celebration of pride week, and have gone out of their way to attack me, harass me and bully me out of a Student Leadership team that should be representing Catholic values. I have been attacked by these people, and have been on the defensive since March all just because I was practicing my faith and adhering to common sense and traditional beliefs. From these attacks against me, as well as others such as Julian Porteous, it is clear that this movement of “diversity and equity” has no problem attacking the traditional values of the Church, and catholic/Christian schools. These political parties have no authority to interfere with the private education sector, which is only trying to ensure that it’s traditional beliefs are upheld, and keep politics out of schools. The response from Equality Tasmania director Mr Richardson claiming that this announcement from the archbishop is “making children feel unsafe and unable to explore who they are” when there are literally countless LGBTQ and other progressive groups surrounding children, both in the public education system as well as organizations such as AYCC, TDB, SS4C, YNOT and many more which are instilling both left-wing political beliefs, and socialist lines of thought. Too often we see Elizabeth College, or another government school flying many flags such as the queer flag and not one which once united a country, the Australian Flag with the Union Jack in the corner.

Aside from religion, we also have to put into question what happened to singing the national anthem in our schools…is it too offensive?? Instead, we have seen it replaced (not in union) with the acknowledgement of country. As an individual of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, I state my distaste for the obsession with race and the victimization of minority groups within Australia, and I think it’s not only a bad thing to endorse but has led to the development of snowflake culture, and weak country where everyone is offended by the most minor things. Going back to this article, we have some of these groups claiming that there is no evidence to support Archbishop Porteous’s argument but there is and it’s called the Bible and more specifically the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which in the entire history of Christianity has never been able to be disproven. The actions of these groups and the LGBTQ is what the church considers Idolatry, making an idol of ourselves and the ability for us to change the very essence of human life and creation (such as Abortion, Same-sex Sex Marriage, Selective Genome and Designer Baby practices).

If we specifically look at the scriptures, we note in Genesis that God created two people, Adam and Eve who are male and female who are separate but only equal in terms of dignity and value. God did not create queer people or any of the other claimed 1000s of genders, they are not mentioned in the Bible because they simply are not God’s creation and do not exist. Additionally, if we look further into the scriptures, primarily 11 Corinthians 15:58 we can read “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” This clearly shows that faith cannot change and is immovable regardless of whatever woke or inhumane ideas are developed by the progressive establishment. I must also reiterate that the Archbishop clearly stated that those who do not agree with the views of the Catholic Church and Catholic Education Tasmania should seek education elsewhere, and I would argue the same as there is clearly a conflict of interest between these two groups and obviously that we are unable to live peacefully together, as we can note with the current social coercion we have been seeing for the last 40 years these groups attacking the church. These groups claim that students don’t feel safe being around the Church when it is in fact the youth being surrounded by these progressive groups and individuals, as well as early exposure online through platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

If there is a specific group confusing young people it’s the progressive establishment in this country. it is very clear what the stance is with some independents and our left-wing parties in Tasmania, and that is to suppress the religious freedoms and rights of Christians, but when it comes to other major religions (such as Islam which is vigorously anti-LGBTQ) they’ll give them a “get out of jail free card”. You have to realize that the Muhhamadans are stoutly anti-LGBTQ and unfortunately claim human lives I believe these parties should think very carefully before the upcoming Federal Election, as well as the next state election as they seem to want to infringe on the rights of religious freedoms. There is no breach of anti-discrimination laws here, but clearly a breach by the Greens, Labor Party and independent Christie Johnson who are clearly attacking and discriminating against the Catholic Church because it does not go with their own Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and political correctness agenda. In conclusion, I am calling upon stronger assurances and safety by the Tasmanian Liberal government and federal opposition to ensure the rights of the church, and individuals of the conservative block in Australia are not oppressed by the current parties suggesting to do so”.
