CONVERSATIONS WITH LAMBDA'S PRIMATES...

This series of dialogues will include the leader of every religious body legally operative in the Dominion of Lambda. The first such interview is with the Most Rev. Norbert Breault, DD, LLD, the primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church, and the Uniate Eparchical diocese, the Catholic Apostolic Diocese in Lambda. Archbishop Breault is same-sex married and the father of several children.

In a recent interview, Archbishop Breault commented upon his life in the ecclesial closet and the angst it created internally, and of course, the "mixed outcomes" of approval and denigration he received from many different populations.

THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH

The elected primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church ( male and female clergy ) and its uniate, Catholic Apostolic Diocese (male clergy only), was the choice for both disciplinary and theological camps. The unity of "Catholic faith and practice" was a "bridge too far" between liberal and conservative Catholic camps freed from Papal authority and obedience. However, the archbishop saw a "uniate option" that satisfied both camps. A male-only Apostolic Succession without compromise defines the Catholic Apostolic eparchial diocese.

At the present time, only the LNCC bishop ordinary of Toklas Provincial diocese is a lesbian. Bishop Ellen Townsend-Beauregard was a former Roman Catholic nun with appropriate theological training. To show his commitment, Archbishop Breault ordained her deacon, priest and was the principal at her episcopal consecration. To satisfy those Toklas parishes who still believe in an all-male clergy have Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Callahan for sacramental confirmations. Callahan is a former Roman Catholic priest who accepts women in Orders, but who was consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Breault and two other male bishops.

Like the Greek Orthodox, the Roman Catholics now refer to the ordination of bishops as "episcopal ordinations" as opposed to the now archaic term " episcopal consecrations." The LNCC still uses the term "consecration" however.

The Roman Catholic Church is forbidden to ecclesiastically operate within the Dominion of Lambda. The Vatican does not recognise the legitimacy of either the nation or the validity of the Catholic jurisdiction who ordain women or openly gay men . It has indicated that the Uniate Diocese has "sacramental validity" due to provable Roman Succession. Archbishop Breault says that he wears Roman opposition like a" badge of honour." " Like the Great Schism and the Reformation," said Breault, "the third millennium schism will end Patriarchalism and Homophobia forever within both branches and twigs of the Mystical Body of Christ, and the Catholic Faith as we retain and practice it."

Roman Catholic chaplains attached to foreign embassies are given diplomatic visas to serve the needs of embassy personnel only. Any Roman Catholic cleric or layperson who attempts to practice Papal Catholicism in any form outside embassy property will be dismissed from Lambda. In fact, any person attached to any religious or philosophical body who advocates the promulgation of laws contrary to the Lambda Constitution are in contravention of federal law.

THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT AUGUSTINE, REDUX.

Archbishop Breault is a 64 years old Canadian native. He began his theological studies following the completion of his undergraduate studies in philosophy. The young theological seminarian educated himself at the Roman Catholic seminary in Paris, when a chance meeting with a French Christian Catholic priest (Old Catholic) changed his life. Breault left the Roman obedience in his freshman year and transferred to the University of Berne, Switzerland - the principal Old Catholic seminary in Europe or elsewhere. Old Catholic Churches of the Utrecht Union are in France, Austria, Germany, Poland and Switzerland as well as the Nederland. Father Breault served in both French and Swiss diocesan parishes for a decade or more.

Returning to Canada in 1981, Father Breault met and partnered with Ian McCullough, a Scottish immigrant. Without a canonical outlet other than the Polish National Catholic Church, Father Breault met bishops with Old Catholic jurisdictions outside Utrecht, and bishops in communion with the Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil, and bishops consecrated by the Vietnamese archbishop of Hue and brother of the late South Vietnamese president, namely Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc. Forming a Canadian Old Catholic jurisdiction with conservative views, Breault was episcopally ordained or consecrated by bishops and archbishops from all known Roman and Orthodox Church Apostolic Succession in diaspora at that time, including the Thuc and Duarte Costa lines. " The purpose of this Succession interest was to assure all clergy and laity that the validity of all seven sacraments were beyond disputation by any mainline Apostolic Church."

THE SELF-LOATHING OPEN CLOSETED YEARS

Archbishop Breault spoke openly and candidly about his years as a closeted chaplain in the Canadian Armed Forces and as a bishop in an Old Catholic jurisdiction. " The Roman Catholic bishop and I were friends, and my true nature and relationship was a 'nod and wink' unspoken acceptance between us", Breault asserted. " In my defence, if any is permitted or accepted", is that we were still considered sick when I was ordained in 1970 and certainly Canadian law was not accepting at that time. The Churches, including Old Catholic and National Catholics, were as homophobic as Rome remains today. It is also true that SCOBA Eastern Orthodoxy is also homophobic."

THE ROAD TO ACCEPTANCE AND "OUTNESS"

Archbishop Breault suffered a heart attack in 2003. A quadruple cardiac arterial bypass graft followed. To add more to misery, a recuperative Breault suffered advanced stage non-Hodgkins Lymphoma with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation a year later. It was during this time that Breault came out, and married. He had retired from armed forces chaplaincy, and regardless, the Marriage Act in Canada was signed by Royal Assent in 2005.

Breault and his husband and children moved to Lambda last year, and was present at its birth.

He humbly served as an auxiliary bishop of Wilde Diocese until his election and elevation as archbishop of Jamestown and LNCC/CAD primate earlier this year.

LAMBDA NATIONAL CATHOLIC PRIMATE ADMONISHES "HOLY SEE"

The primate of Lambda's GLBT affirming "independent" Catholic jurisdictions, the Lambda National Catholic Church and the more conservative Catholic Apostolic Diocese in union with it, again reiterated his views on the Roman Catholic "scorched earth open warfare" against Lambda and all GLBT activists where both equality's presence or absence is noted.

" You must understand their appeals to Scholasticism and Natural Law in terms of their strategy to blame their worldwide paedophile scandals and coverups by hierarchs as part of the GAY CONSPIRACY. In this scenario, "paedophile homosexual priests" flooded seminaries several decades ago. Working on the premise that they could hide and do their "nefarious deeds" in Holy Orders, they "forced" cardinals and archbishops and bishops....blameless heterosexuals.....to protect "Holy Mother the Church" from these malevolent men.

The Paedophile Scandals have cost much damage to the Roman Catholic brand. It has cost millions of souls and billions of currency payments worldwide. Roman Catholic bishops have hired communication specialists and national lobbyists to speak for them away from media spotlights as often as possible. Make no mistake, to the Vatican, paedophile scandals were done because of all gay priests and bishops.....and the Church must purge all such men from their ranks. This purge includes all men who have monogamous and consentual sexual relations with other adults, often other priests.

The opposition to Marriage Equality and Abortion issues have polled as "positive positions" for the Roman Church to espouse with intensity and vigour. The LNCC primate has advocated a vanguard of Old Catholic and liberal Churches to counteract this worldwide crusade against same-sex families and their civil rights nationwide.

DEPUTY LIBERAL LEADER EINARSSON IN ICELAND ON MISSION

The Right Honourable Pall Heinar Einarsson, MP, the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party is on an extended stay in the Republic of Iceland (ISLAND) in order to build Liberal Party support with Lambda's GLBT community in exile in Europe. Statistics suggest that support for Lambda emanates mostly from the two Americas.

An official statement from the Liberal Party headquarters said that the deputy leader was most suited to build Liberal party numbers abroad, and especially in Europe. Iceland and Finland and Denmark do not have marriage equality laws, as does both Norway and Sweden. Europe is a combination of nations with full marriage equality and others with some form of national domestic partnership rights.

Lambda's two "official" languages, French and English, does not provide the full picture. National languages from the world over are spoken in Lambda. GLBT persons come from all five continents and from all languages and cultures.

The Lambda Conservative Party commented indirectly on the Einarsson initiative, but indicated that the Tory government was considering a similar effort to its dual citizens in diaspora worldwide.

LIBERAL LEADER EXTENDS POLITICAL ORTHODOXY REMARKS

In light of Tory Prime Minister Decelles-Smith's speech on political orthodoxy, the Liberal Leader Sandra Lubrano answered media requests for additional commentary on the issue raised by Mr. Decelles-Smith two days ago. In his remarks, the prime minister had suggested that the leader of the opposition agreed with his remarks on political orthodoxy necessary for successful governance.

" The Prime Minister and I agree that politicians must 'stand for principles that their party presents as informative in creating legislation," replied Mrs. Lubrano. " However, we Liberals do not march 'lockstep' as do the Tories when they form a government," she replied." This having been said, the Liberal Party members in Parliament are aware that party discipline requires their vote in closed votes. We do not tolerate or accept lack of support on Liberal legislation emanating from the party conference."

In the Lambda Parliament, either Tory or Liberal MP's are required to vote with their party on party line CLOSED votes, although are permitted to vote their conscience on OPEN votes if they are back benchers. Cabinet and Shadow ministers must always vote with their party on all issues, or resign their posts.

In closing, the Liberal Leader of the Opposition spoke clearly about "liberal and progressive-led governments worldwide" who betray GLBT citizens in their countries. " These citizens hold dual nationality in the Dominion of Lambda, and we hold a proprietary interest in national outcomes", she stated, " Politicians who campaign as liberals and progressives and govern to the right of their centre, and betray their constituencies, do not deserve either support or continuation in government."

WHY I PASSIONATELY BELIEVE IN POLITICAL ORTHODOXY.

The Tory Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith today reiterated his belief in asserting political orthodoxy, and why a constitutional parliamentary system achieves this passionate zealotry.

" As a Conservative, my political principles are set beyond the fact that all Lambda citizens assert GLBT freedom and equality, and in our case, full freedom and equality to Lambda's minority heterosexual population. This belief was also echoed recently by the Right Honourable Gentlelady Opposite, Ms. Sandra Lubrano, the Liberal Party leader, at her party conference recently.

Political pragmatists, centrists, moderates are individuals whose beliefs are informed by pollsters and pundits, and who compromise and often capitulate rather than to stand firm on principles and the expressed will of the majority of the populace.

The prime minister issued his remarks in relation to centrist and moderate heads of government who have campaigned on GLBT equality for their citizens, when, while elected, betray them partially or outrightly in order to mollify their conservative and independent followers. Many observers in media believe that the prime minister's remarks were directed toward US President Barack Obama, but there is also belief that the UK's Labour prime minister's refusal to promote full marriage rights beyond the registered partnership law also provoked Mr. Decelles-Smith's remarks. Deputy Prime Minister Carolyn Power also spoke at the meeting.

GRENADINE CARIBBEAN NATION VOTES TO RETAIN HM THE QUEEN AS CHIEF OF STATE.

By an overwhelming majority, the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has voted to retain, HM, Queen Elizabeth II as Chief of State rather than have the Prime Minister or Parliament appoint a president rather than a Governor General representing the Sovereign.

PRIME MINISTER QUESTION TIME HIGHLIGHTS.

The office of Tory Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith issued comments made by him during a convention of the Lambda/Canada Chamber of Commerce. In the question period, the Tory PM reiterated responses made during Question Time in the House of Commons asked by the Liberal Leader, Ms. Sandra Lubrano.

Mr. Decelles-Smith indicated that the Conservative Party of Lambda defines his political philosophy beyond the question of personal freedom and liberty enjoyed in the area of GLBT rights in Lambda. He indicated that the differences between he and the Liberal Leader were "based upon core philosophical positions" that divide the two parties. " We both stand firm and without equivocation on the rights of ALL Lambdans, including our affirming straight family members and friends who have chosen to live in pluralistic harmony to form one cohesive nation."

In commenting upon the Canadian political reality, Mr. Decelles-Smith noted that the Alliance and Progressive Conservative merger meant that the extreme and centre right wing had both "hijacked the message as well as the leadership" of the new Tory party. Mr. Decelles-Smith noted however, that Canadian Tory strategy was not to adopt a "scorched earth" strategy against the Canadian Marriage Act. He hoped that the Canadian Tory moderates and progressives would again take leadership control over the Conservative message in Canada devoid of homophobic agendae.

Mr. Decelles-Smith mirrored this commentary with a view of US GLBT politics in particular. "The Republican party was once a cohesive body of integral parts. There was the Eastern liberal wing and the Midwest moderate wing and the black minority wing in the South under Jim Crow." Under the libertarianism of Barry Goldwater, the oft quoted remark informed the beliefs.

" I do not care if the person is straight, " blustered the AZ senator and reserve Air Force major general fighter pilot, " as long as he can shoot straight."

"The Democratic Party of the U.S. was until Civil Rights Act...a merger among the liberal Northern intellectuals, blue-collar northern social conservatives, populist midwestern conservatives, and the Southern racist Dixiecrats whose regional monopoly assured seniority and chairs in Congress." Then came Nixon and the great Hijackings. The Dixiecrats became Republicans, and the African Americans became Democrats. The Evangelical Conservatives became Right Wing Theocratic Religionists and hijacked the GOP and its leadership. "

" Where are the Democrats, and specifically President Obama, protecting the rights of our GLBT brothers and sisters living in diaspora in America? Where is the federal recognition legislation, and the repeal of DOMA and DADT? Where is the fierce advocacy he promised as the Liberal Lion and voice of change? As leader of the GLBT free state, I am concerned about GLBT rights worldwide, and with the betrayal of our moral crusade by triangulating politicians who use our votes, our resources, and our tireless advocacy, for their malevolent abuse and betrayal."

The Tory leader stated clearly that nothing advocated by the American Republican Party informs any views held by the Lambda Conservative Party. He also mentioned that the "shared GLBT concerns" with the American Democratic Party " has been sadly sidelined by an administration who governs from the compromisory if not capitulating centre right, and campaigned for office as liberals and progressives for immediate change."

THE JAMESTOWN RESOLUTION ECHOES WORLDWIDE . REPLY TO "MANHATTAN MALEVOLENCE."

Jamestown, Wilde Province, Lambda.......The Jamestown Resolution, issued by the Royal Lambda Council of Churches echoes the worldwide sentiments of GLBT persons everywhere in the world, according to various religious organisations who responded to the reply given to the international homophobic attack against Lambdans worldwide.

A copy of the Jamestown Resolution - a formal reply to the "Manhattan Malevolence" - admonishes activists that a purely secular civil political response to a "moral imperative" produces the defeats that have been witnessed, especially in the United States.

In a second appeal after the Jamestown Resolution was published, the RLCC challenged international "affirming clergy" to stand in open opposition to the Right Wing Theocratic Religionists throughout the world.

LIBERAL PARTY LEADER ISSUES THANKSGIVING DAY WISHES

The Right Honourable Sandra Lubrano, of Toklas, the Liberal Leader and Leader of the Loyal Opposition in the House of Commons today sent the official Liberal Party of Lambda greetings for the Thanksgiving Day celebration, Thursday, November 26, 2009.

As a result of a bipartisan law passed and given Royal Assent was a perpetual change of celebration for the third Friday in October, beginning next year in 2010.

Leader Lubrano and her wife issued personal as well as official well wishes to all Lambda Liberals at home and abroad.

DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER GIVES TORY GREETINGS FOR THANKSGIVING

In an email to the Conservative Party of Lambda faithful, Deputy Prime Minister Carolyn Power took the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow, November 26, 2009.

The new Parliamentary law has put the new date on the third Friday in October, beginning on October 18, 2010.

The Prime Minister and his husband and son were away for the holidays on a personal family trip to Canada.

GOVERNOR GENERAL ISSUES CROWN THANKSGIVING MESSAGE

The Right Honourable Lee Dorsey, the Governor General of Lambda, representing HM, the Queen, today issued the Crown Thanksgiving Proclamation for all Lambda citizens at home and abroad.

" In the name of the Crown, we wish to express our profound expressions of gratitude and thankfulness on the day that we set aside our troubles, and both as a family, and a nation family, each in our own tradition, sit and share a meal and reflect upon the full freedom and equality we enjoy in Lambda and eight other nations in the world. We also acknowledge those other nations who have provided full federal or some legal rights to our people in diaspora throughout the world.

We also pray and remember those unfortunate brothers and sisters who live in nations where long imprisonment or even execution is the legal penalty for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

Let us proudly sing our national anthem " O Lambda " and our declaration of allegiance to both the Crown and our beloved country.

ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES INVITES GLBT AND AFFIRMING CLERGY TO CONFRONT HOMOPHOBIC THEOCRACIES IN HOSTILE NATIONS.

The Royal Lambda Council of Churches today implored GLBT and affirming clergy in hostile homophobic nations to stand openly and assertively against the forces of HATE INC.

The Council, on the heels of publishing the JAMESTOWN MANIFESTO last weekend, was clear about whom they were speaking, and more which nations needed to mobilise against an onslaught of international strategic proportions.

The Executive Director of the Royal Lambda Council, the Rev'd Dr. Ellen J. Doherty-Wilson named the Evangelical Protestant Right Wing Theocrats, the Roman Catholic Church and its Eastern Catholic Uniate Churches, and the Constantinopolitan Eastern Orthodox Churches.

The national lists included the United States of America, nations in both Western and Eastern Europe, and Asia. Special attention was given to subsaharan Africa and the Middle East where Islamic Shari'a law includes a genocidal holocaust for the GLBT citizens of their nation and in diaspora.

The statement read in part:

" The Royal Lambda Council of Churches strongly suggests that the time has long past for GLBT and affirming clergy to "turn the other cheek" while the most powerful Christian voices are advocating a "scorched earth" attack on the human and civil rights of GLBT persons worldwide. Moreover, these theocratic pronouncements both incite murderous violence worldwide and give sustenance to Islamic theocracies who proscribe scriptural conviction and summary execution.

GLBT and Affirming Clergy should no longer harbour the belief that the Marriage Equality issue is a patriarchal and heterosexist defence of the culture of "marriage". To disabuse oneself of this canard is to observe HATE INC. worldwide opposing any form of civil contract, whether it is called civil marriage, civil union, or registered domestic partnership. These " Harbingers of Hate" want to remove all "pretenses of legal connexion" between same-sex couples. They seek not only a return to " the reality of legal estrangement" for same-sex couples, but more, to treat them legally as single persons engaged in the felony of recriminalised "sodomy." The cultural term "sodomy" perpetuates the lie inherent in the story of Sodom, and perpetually condemns the GLBT community to scriptural proscription.

"This commitment begins," the communique continues, " with the belief that HATE INC believes it has captured and controls the "moral high ground". These Christian right wing activists assert that we GLBT persons have no moral standing for our subjective political position. Moreover, these homophobic hierarchs contend that we are devoid of any spiritual or moral guidance because we have no theistic basis for our beliefs. Throughout the world, while we witness yet another nation, Portugal, adding its name to the rolls of nations with full GLBT equality, or other nations providing federal partnership rights, the international HATE INC CRUSADE marches on, with victories in the United States....removing regional rights hard won in either courts or legislatures. In Australia, these Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant forces are united in fighting civil union statutes."

The statement ends with this admonition:

" In these hostile homophobic nations, especially in the United States of America or the Commonwealth of Australia, the issue is silence and lack of one leader to guide their efforts. Let us be clear. The mainline international Churches use intimidation and removal of retirement and other safety nets to silence internal opposition. Men or women in middle or advanced age can ill afford to not consider these outcomes. Beyond this, we note that HATE INC is both organised and united in their efforts. GLBT and affirming clergy fight both internal opponents as well as the external enemy. The separation of Church and State is no barrier to HATE INC, only to those with everything to lose if they succeed in removing our rights worldwide. The presence of secular homophobic activists does not hinder the hateful acts of the Catholic, Mormon and Right Wing Protestant Christians. However, the presence of virulent opponents of religion itself within the GLBT communities cower the clergy to complacence, compromise and capitulation."

The Royal Lambda Council of Churches issued this communique on the eve of Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009. The newly-elected Parliament has changed the date to the third Friday in October, beginning on October 18, 2010.

LAMBDA NATIONAL CATHOLIC PRIMATE PRAISES CHRIS MATTHEWS FOR EXPOSING VATICAN THEOCRATIC STRATEGY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZPl8EJwAmc

The Most Reverend Norbert R. Breault, DD, LLD, Archbishop of Jamestown, and Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church and its uniate diocese, the Catholic Apostolic Diocese of Lambda, today praised American media personality Chris Matthews for his successful interview that exposed the Vatican strategy in the United States and worldwide to support and join evangelical Protestant efforts to theocratise issues like abortion and homosexuality.

Roman Catholic Bishop Tobin, of Providence RI, USA has joined leading Catholic hierarchs in literally " excommunicating " Catholics ( removing them from Eucharist is ex communicatio ) if they dare to divorce Vatican Papal Ratzinger teaching with their legislative pluralistic function separating Church and State.

Archbishop Breault last weekend signed the JAMESTOWN DECLARATION issued by the Royal Lambda Council of Churches blasting the Evangelical and Catholic theocratic onslaught against all GLBT civil rights and marriage equality provisions as well as Choice legislation in the United States and elsewhere. The Roman Catholic Church is forbidden to operate in Lambda, as are any church, religious or philosophical society or organisation whose views deny the full equality and rights of GLBT persons. The independent Catholic Church, with valid Roman Catholic Succession through Utrecht, Rio de Janieiro and Hue, serves the spiritual needs of Lambda's Catholic population.

The video follows:

GOVERNOR GENERAL OF LAMBDA DECLARES THANKSGIVING DATE FOR 2010

The Governor General of Lambda, Ms. Lee Dorsey, declared that Thursday, November 27, 2009 would be observed as Thanksgiving Day in Lambda for the year 2009. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated only in the United States of America and Canada.

Canada, however, celebrates the holiday on the second Monday in October as opposed to the third Thursday in November in the United States. Prior to the election of the first Parliament this year, the provisional government had established the U.S. Thanksgiving date for Lambda.

The Governor General read the Thanksgiving Edict issued by the Crown, and in representing HM the Queen Elizabeth II, the Crown representative said in part:

" This year, we established the fact that the Dominion of Lambda would be one of three nations who will stop and offer thanksgiving, each according to their own customs and beliefs, on the day that the United States established for this holiday celebration. This year, Lambdans stand in solidarity with our GLBT American brothers and sisters, and our friends and families, as they seek strength in loving a nation who denies them basic human and civil rights."

" Beginning in 2010, the Dominion of Lambda will establish the THIRD Friday in October, as the Lambda Thanksgiving Day holiday, into perpetuity. We will invite all Lambda GLBT in diaspora to consider honouring that particular date as our own special day of remembrance."

Several American and Lambda dual nationals have indicated that they will celebrate October 18, 2010 as the sole Thanksgiving Day that they will celebrate.

ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES ISSUES REPLY TO MANHATTAN DECLARATION.

The Royal Lambda Council of Churches today issued their final communique and reply to the Manhattan Declaration". A copy of the reply follows:

" The Manhattan Declaration is the predictable alliance between the German Catholic pope and the Nigerian Anglican primate giving gravitas to old names in the American right wing theocratic movement.

These voices are proof positive that " politics make for strange bedfellows." Outside a theological proscription against abortion and homosexuality for their own Church believers, these " Harbingers of Hate" have decided to engage in hardball civil politics to merge canon and civil law with an exclusion of all liberal and progressive religious voices and those wholly secular voices who want an absolute divorcement between Church and State.
No list of these malevolent theocrats is necessary. A quick perusal provides one with a long list of veteran advocates of intolerance and HATE INC activism. They are joined by the largest Christian denomination on the planet, and its most internationally successful Reformation schism, the worldwide Anglican Communion, presently in the throes of schism, picked apart by both Catholics and Protestants seeking their clergy and their flocks. The strength of their numbers in the United Kingdom and the old Dominions have decreased, but the subsharan African British Empire yields vibrant branches of the Canterbury Confession.
Subsaharan Africa is a "tale of two countries". It is also the opposing witnesses of two men. Both men are African. Both men are Anglican archbishops. Both men are heterosexual and married. Both men led the Anglican Church in their separate nations.

Dr. Peter Akinola, of Lagos, Nigeria is the current primate of Nigeria. In contravention of Anglican canon law, Akinola has given "episcopal oversight" to dioceses and parishes worldwide who oppose same-sex marriage and GLBT equality on the civil level. Far beyond Anglican theology and canon law, Akinola has sought to create a second Canterbury, and forced a centrist, powerless and ineffective honourary world primate to support his coup d'etat, or face the loss of the largest Church in the communion.
Nigeria is a nation with a divided theistic allegiance and simultaneously, a fascist right wing totalitarian state. Nigeria is divided among Christians and Muslims. The fight for flocks are fierce. Nigeria is an oil-rich nation with the stark presence and absence of wealth and abject poverty. Nigerian criminals operate scams and schemes known the world over. Shari'a law in Nigeria wants the legalised murder of gays and lesbians. Dr. Akinola believes in a "humane "alternative of life imprisonment as well as blessing the Muslim GLBT holocaust. The ineffectiveness of the Archbishop of Canterbury is worse when the "first among equals" has been usurped by this Christian fakir. His views, or more his " prayerful winks" on cultural polygamy is a matter of record beyond conjecture.
The subsaharan African nations once colonies of France, Belgium and Portugal have a Roman Catholic majority presence. Whereas observance is low in Europe, these former colonies boast a vibrant uberconservative Catholicism in full agreement with the German fuhrerpapen. Like their Anglican and former British colonies, the Muslim majority or minority is significant, and Shari'a law informs the process there as well.
The exception is the Union of South Africa, and the minority but significant Anglican Church, once led by now retired primate, Dr. Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Johannesburg, and Nobel Prize laureate. Both he and former President Nelson Mandela advocated for FULL marriage equality for same-sex couples. Dr. Tutu stands in compassionate contrast to the malefactor, Dr. Akinola.
There is nothing new in the Manhattan Declaration but a regurgitation of conclusions emanating from Catholic Scholasticism, Natural Law, and their pseudo-scientific definition of "objective disorder" they proclaimed. Not since the Galileo and Copernican adjudications has the Roman Catholic Church engaged in faux science in opposition to the world psychiatric and psychological societies. Moreover, no pope since Pius IX lost the Papal States in 1870, or in 1918 when WWI proclaimed the death of the Hapsburg Holy Roman Empire or in 1974 when Franco's death ushered in the end of Roman Catholic monopolistic theocracy in Fascist Spain, has the Vatican pseudo political state engaged in international civil hardball politics..
Both as pope now, and cardinal inquisitor then, Josef Ratzinger has decided to blame the paedophile scandals on gay brother cardinals, archbishops, bishops, monsignori, priests, deacons, monks and nuns. The bait and switch scapegoating explains the strategy. The carrot and stick hardball politics is the result of two millennia of theocratic history in Western civilisation.
The Manhattan Declaration's purpose is to both confound the critics and condemn the innocent. It is an all-out assault against the loud secular voices and the silent liberal and progressive religious voices from both within and from without these organisational monoliths. These marketers of malevolence smell blood in the water. They seek secular defeats by spiritual forces. They hold the "moral high ground" and have transformed it into the "moral imperative." Progressive religious voices fear and tremble as they remain silent or worse, silenced by secular leaders antithetical to any spiritual leadership in the moral crusade of the century.
I have sadly kept the final betrayal for last. The African American civil rights struggle was won by spiritual forces after a century of secular political machinations by friends and foes alike. Dr. King was helped by leading closeted and open gay voices whom he and his widow acknowledged. All their surviving children have embraced the legitimate passage of the mantel of justice and equality to GLBT persons regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religious belief or absence of same.
All, that is, but the eldest and only surviving daughter, the Reverend Bernice King, the new president of the SCLC. Unlike her parents and surviving siblings, Ms. King has joined forces with Akinola, Ratzinger, Dobbs, and countless AA conservative clergy who openly oppose marriage equality despite protections for church and conscience objections. These men and some women are right wing theocrats.
These are the spiritual waters that are competing for the souls of the First Family in the White House. In return, President and Mrs. Obama have visited their major sanctuaries as they continue to play the role of "undecided suitors." What is evident is that liberal and progressive AA voices, from the Episcopal National Cathedral to storefront churches, need not apply.
The Manhattan Declaration is nothing but old wine in new bottles.....old heresies voiced in modern terms.....and a marriage of oppositional organisational and theological forces allied against perceived common enemies. Abortionists and Queers is the new "atheistic Communist" and "liberal Christians" are considered apostate.
It is necessary to tell the old Gospel with a renewed and invigorated voice. It is time to advocate truth over deceit. It is time to call " a white sepulchre" the same way that Christ Himself defined them. These white sheets have grown pointed hoods, and now, it seems, it is impossible to discern Klan Kaps from Episcopal Mitres.

ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES BOARD HOLD PRELIMINARY PRESS CONFERENCE

The Most Reverend Norbert Breault, DD, Archbishop of Jamestown, and Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church today spoke for he and the Anglican Church of Canada Primate, the Most Reverend Elizabeth Rowen-Leigh, ThD, as they prepared to meet with Lambda religious leaders at an emergency session of the Royal Lambda Council of Churches.

In their prepared remarks, Archbishop Breault, speaking for the assembled clergy delegation, opened the press conference with this prepared statement:

My brothers and sisters in Christ, both in the Dominion of Lambda and abroad, the so-called "Manhattan Declaration" is merely a regurgitation of Roman Catholic homophobia informed by their interpretation of Scholasticism and Natural Law. The so-called Declaration begins with a recitation of the Great Decalogue, namely the Two Comandments of Love of God and Neighbour, and in the next thousands of words, makes a mockery of His advocacy of love and compassion over what they define as law. In fact, it is a worldwide call to return to theocracy, especially in nations where there is a separation of Church and State, or where former Catholic theocracies, such as Quebec, Spain and Portugal have revolted into democratic nations granting marriage equality to our community and more, those of us who hold to this "twig" of Christ's Mystical Body outside Papal authority and inquisition.

We, the members of the Royal Lambda Council of Churches, will meet in emergency session this weekend to officially respond to the Manhattan Declaration and issue the Jamestown Manifesto.

This response will be issued encyclically " urbi et orbi " as did the great reformer, Martin Luther on the door of an historic cathedral. This virtual cathedral represents that door in the modern world...with ancient truths expressed against voices of oppression and exclusion.

We will begin this weekend's deliberations with an Oecumenical Service of Dedication and particular Eucharistic or Evangelical services invoking the " Spirit of God " to attend to the spiritual violence against our GLBT brothers and sisters, and their families worldwide."

NATIONAL CATHOLIC AND ANGLICAN PRIMATES HAS PRESS CONFERENCE BEFORE ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES WEEKEND.

ROYAL LAMBDA COUNCIL OF CHURCHES MEETS IN EMERGENCY SESSION.

The Rev. Dr. Ellen J. Doherty-Wilson, executive director of the Royal Lambda Council of Churches, today announced that the Executive Board has called an emergency session this weekend to reply to the so-called "Manhattan Manifesto", issued by the leading prelates of the Roman Catholic Church, conservative Anglicans in communion with Dr. Akinola of Nigeria, and the celebrity personnages of the Protestant Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian theocrats in the United States.

Dr. Doherty-Wilson indicated that the Manifesto has international implications because the main signatories are Roman Catholic cardinals, archbishops and bishops and have implications throughout the nations who are battling the Holy See on civil and marital rights for its GLBT citizens. The Dominion of Lambda, as the GLBT virtual state, is implicated in that "declaration of theocratic intent" on matters that affect the civil and judicial rights of GLBT citizens worldwide.

In Lambda, only Churches who sign assent to the Lambda Charter of Rights and Freedoms may legally operate within the Dominion of Lambda. Many GLBT Christians practice their faith outside the official recognition of their international bodies. The Roman Catholic Church is forbidden to openly practice their homophobic faith in the Dominion of Lambda. Mainline Protestant Churches who are openly homophobic are also forbidden to openly practice in Lambda.

Roman Catholics, for example, if observant, are communicants of the liberal Lambda National Catholic Church, and its Catholic Apostolic Diocese with more conservative faith and practice. The Anglican Church of Lambda is recognised by the more liberal national and associative GLBT affirming Anglican churches and is only an associative member of the Anglican Communion.

The weekend meeting will end with a Jamestown Manifesto that will answer the homophobic Christian worldwide theocratic zealotry. The entire manifesto will be printed here as soon as it is published.

Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith (Cons.-Wilde) and Liberal Opposition Leader Sandra Lubrano, of Toklas issued a joint communique supporting the Royal Lambda Council of Churches meeting. Both the Government and the Opposition agree with the legal proscriptions against the Vatican and other homophobic Churches. All major world religions who oppose gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equal rights in Lambda are forbidden entry into the Dominion of Lambda.

PRIME MINISTERS CONFRONTS HOMOPHOBIC CHURCHES MANIFESTO.

Lambda Conservative Prime Minister Raymond Decelles-Smith was joined by Liberal Leader Sandra Lubrano in a joint statement issued by Parliament condemning the so-called "Manhattan Manifesto"issued by the Roman Catholic Church and major Protestant Christian Evangelical leaders in New York, NY, USA, but intended for all nations with gay-affirming marriage equality laws. The Dominion of Lambda is

Deputy Prime Minister Carolyn Power today addressed the Conservative Alliance of International Lambda Supporters , in Wilde Province's Chamber of Commerce. The Tory deputy head of government has received political support from Conservative GLBT groups throughout the world, including conservative leaders in the United States.

Prime Minister Decelles-Smith was in Ottawa, Canada for a meeting with Commonwealth Conservative Party leaders, and was expected to return to Jamestown this evening.

"The role of the Conservative Party of Lambda", stated the DPM, " is to discuss economic and social programmes in the light of full freedom and equality for GLBT citizens. We agree with the Liberal Party of Lambda on all issues that divide us outside this GLBT nation."

In fact, Liberal Leader Sandra Lubrano was in Toklas Province discussing similar issues from the Liberal perspective. Deputy Liberal Leader Pall Heinar Einarrson was also present at that meeting and also addressed the crowd and introduced Ms. Lubrano.

Ms. Power's remarks followed her official duties as a reserve colonel in the Royal Lambda National Guard. Aside from the establishment of the Royal Lambda Mounted Police, the RLNG functions as the national militia and border control military component.

In preparing for her remarks, the deputy prime minister was quick to define the Conservative Party of Lambda as "progressive and more descriptive of the now defunct Canadian Progressive Conservative Party before being hijacked by the Reform/Alliance reactionary party." When she refers to American politics, the American dual national reminded fellow Conservative supporters that the liberal and moderate US Republicans were also hijacked by the reactionary racist Dixiecrats, and that she was a "liberal to moderate" in her former nation. "Political labels require definitions," said Ms. Power. Ms. Power and her wife and beloved dogs live in Toklas Province's beautiful Alicetown community.

Her remarks follow:

If you ask the average American if he is liberal or conservative, his or her probable response is "conservative." In my opinion, they would be wrong. After all, the highly partisan and extremely reactionary Republicans still hold power despite losses in 2006 and 2008. Our national political debate is between those Republicans and loosely partisan and extremely diverse Democrats who have surrendered its leadership to the corporate, conservative, moderate Blue Dog wing . The Liberals and Progressives have been punked within the political party known for those beliefs, and honoured for those accomplishments.
Conservative billionaires enjoy the virtual monopoly they have over the governing philosophy of America. For three decades, and especially since Ronald Reagan, they bought it. They paid billions to create it, and they intend to keep it. They have successfully removed the reactionary libertarian, and the moderate and liberal wings from power, and lately, from office entirely in many regions of the nation. The Party of Abraham Lincoln and Abolition, of the Grand Army of the Republic and Reconstruction has morphed into the resurrection of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis, the Ku Klux Klan, and White male-dominated Theocratic Supremacy.
The MSM, once a privately-owned entity, with its news division as a "non-profit lost leader" in a for profit business, is now fully for profit. This includes the "infotertainment programming" that passes for the "objective journalism" of the past. We can now discern which network is the visual, aural, printed or virtual arm of the Republican National Committee. We can equally discern who is centrist and afraid to appear the least "liberal or progressive" since a pragmatic president , a conservative Democrat, signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in order to win re-election. (As a gay man, I would be amiss if I did not add DOMA that year as well, and DADT at the start of his many betrayals to all liberal partisans.)
The irony is that the Corporate Brahmans created the stigma of the "L-Word" (no, the other one), we know by polling that the plurality of Americans would never want to lose all the liberal programmes that define the Democratic Party. Social Security, Medicare, VA Benefits, and yes, Health Care, are all the brain children or aspirations of the iconic presidents.....Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson.....and if the truth be known, by progressive Republicans like Theodore Roosevelt, whose wing of the GOP has died the death of dinosaurs. TR knew the "malefactors of wealth" in the Gilded Age. Their great-grandchildren of these Corporate Titans make them appear to have acted like choir boys.
A gift of William Jefferson Clinton was the loss of "mom and pop" radio stations in the nation. As a result of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the free airwaves ( not paid satellite radio ) have become a national duopoly owned by right wing billionaires who have inundated the schedule with three hour programmes of the most successful prevaricators ever to open their mouths. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.....reactionary college dropout shock jocks .... and Bill O'Reilly, the graduate degreed reactionary exception......have defined and encouraged the many other reactionary pundits who have a voice and a corporeal presence on Fox News.
If the majority of Americans want to retain Social Security, Medicare and VA benefits as government single payer programmes, and wanted a single payer system for Health Care, how have the Corporate Oligarchs pre-empted the process, and have forced pragmatic conservaDems to vote in the largest compulsory Corporate rape ever malevolently conceived by these villains?
The answer is simple. You vote them in, after they have been punked and bought outrightly by the Corporate Brahmans. The "sacred cow" programmes of Social Security and Medicare and VA Benefits are not removed, but rather, deceptively diminished in its effectiveness, and in its costing. These are the greediest individuals ever produced from privileged wombs. They lie about their support of these programmes, while they strip them gradually, and create loopholes that require supplementary products purchased from greedy insurance giants. They betray their own with lies, and the Sheeple actually vote their Wolves into office against their own economic, political and spiritual values.
WE ARE A NATION OF SHEEP, GOVERNED BY WOLVES, AND OWNED BY PIGS. There is no doubt about it. Ask yourself why we are ranked the LOWEST among first world industrialised nations in health care, life expectancy,higher education, infant deaths, and simply QUALITY OF LIFE? . One American expatriate in Michael Moore's SICKO said it best, and worth its repetition " In Europe, (and Canada), the Government is afraid of its PEOPLE, while in the United States, THE SHEEPLE ARE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERNMENT. and, I might add, with good reasons, since George W. Bush implemented the tools of totalitarianism in the dark of night eight and more years ago, and reinforced since, with the complicity of the two reactionary wings of what passes as "two" political parties.
PART DEUX will focus upon more of these concepts, and specifically how it affects the GLBT community and the true Corporate response as they assuage the Theocratic base of support. Do not confuse the two pieces of the puzzle. The Secular Corporate Oligarchs are not fundamentalist theocrats. Their lives do not reflect this one iota. Like the history of Western Civilisation informs, the Theocratic Piece is a means of societal control. It no longer exists in Europe, either from Rome, Canterbury or Geneva. It exists in the United States with fundamentalist Protestant Christianity, with the open complicity of the Roman Catholic Church. The United States of America is not a closeted theocracy, as previously alluded. It is rather a neo-theocracy, openly defined and wholly complicit within the extreme reactionary Republican Party.

The Deputy Prime Minister, who also holds the ministerial portfolio on the environment, stated that she would hold a seminar on this issue within the next few months. Ms. Power has also invited His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to visit Lambda at his earliest convenience.

LIBERAL LEADER LUBRANO SPEAKS TO UNITED STATES EXPATRIATES AND DUAL NATIONAL LAMBDANS ON CONTINUED GLBT STRIFE IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Right Honourable Sandra Lubrano, MP, the Leader of the Liberal Opposition in the House of Commons addressed expatriate Americans who are dual nationals of the Dominion of Lambda. It is believed that national polls suggest that Tory PM Raymond Decelles-Smith will face serious challenges in the polls in mid-2010 if the Liberals continue to grow in popular support.

Leader Lubrano's comments follow:



" In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human" - Senator Prescott Bush, Connecticut Republican and Episcopalian. Father of President George HW Bush and Grandfather of President George W. Bush. ....quoting President Eisenhower in the Congressional Record...February 18, 1955.






According to national polls, American citizens believe in the separation of church and state. These same polls state clearly that they consider this nation theistic and nevertheless, opposed to theocracy. This having been said, the Roman Catholic Church, the fundamentalist Christian Protestants, and the Mormons have been especially activist in repealing GLBT civil marriage equality and similar rights.



There are basically three different approaches to confronting these Right Wing Religionists. Each approach has both strategy and theological sincerity in both their implementation and outcomes.
The first approach is to admit that religions and faith systems have the right and responsibility to promote their own moral codes, and within legal and cultural constraints, attempt to influence their members to both live their lives according to their precepts, and to assure that their beliefs are not declared either unconstitutional or illegal in the secular domain. Within this approach lies the responsibility of heterodox believers and non-believers to engage these fellow citizens to assure that the theocratic concerns are addressed and avoided.



The second approach is to identify extreme reactionary theocrats who erroneously believe that they alone hold the moral high ground, and that full freedom, including marriage equality will not only earn perdition for the individual "sinner", but will simultaneously undermine the very nature of the Republic.This strategy confirms the fact that the world's major religions oppose marriage equality and other civil rights for GLBT citizens, and that only an exclusive secular and civil response will win the needed legislation enacted to end the separate and unequal "psychosexual apartheid" in the United States.



The religious leaders within the more liberal denominations advocate pleading with these homophobic theistic religions to cease and desist from engaging in secular warfare, and to acknowledge that many civil laws may and in the case of civil divorce, are "mortally sinful" for their communicants to engage in. Nevertheless, our GLBT activist clerics remind and admonish, their Church does not advocate against the American civil laws allowing divorce and remarriage. Neither do their civil servants and judges refuse to grant said divorces and remarriages based upon a theological opposition to those acts.



The third approach is the strategy that I both promote and advocate. Regardless of the fact that the hierarchy of the world's largest Christian denomination opposes my civil rights, I do not cede the moral high ground to them. Despite the fact that most of Eastern Orthodox Christianity agrees with them does not add credence to their contention. Never mind the fact that fundamentalist reactionary and theocratic Kristian Klan white supremacists feel that the United States should terminate their separation of church and state for the avoidance of national perdition, I do not cede the moral high ground to them.
There are liberal glbt and gay-affirming heterosexual Christians in this country, and elsewhere. These progressive and enlightened theological voices read the same scriptural authorities, and administer the same sacraments as those who engage in a "scorched earth" policy to bait and switch their paedophilic scandals. These individuals do not use the Bible as their weapon of choice. They are contextual in their interpretation, and not literal with hypocritical subjectivity.
The third approach says that we must admit that the "holy homophobes" are culturally if not actively the majority religion in the nation. These strange bedfellows are engaged in warfare for bodies. Catholics are leaving their Church for Protestantism in numbers not seen since the Reformation. Fear is the catalyst for the second Inquisition, and this time, theological purity is exacted not against Protestants and Jews, but this time, it is the GLBT person, regardless of belief, and in the civil context where theocracy is officially proscribed, but sadly, subtly expressed nonetheless.
GLBT and our allies know the difference between what the Bible "says" and what the Bible "reads". I am also reminded that neither Anglicanism nor Catholicism was established as the official theistic expression in this Republic. I am reminded that the founding fathers were nominal theists and professed Deists. They were clearly the children of eighteenth century Enlightenment. The fundamentalist revisionism is a new phenomena, probably simultaneously suggested to a nation woefully ignorant of its civic and political history. Ask Jay Leno. He has proven those glaring examples of ignorance for decades.
For years now, I have chronicled the same theological wars successfully fought in eight nations where civil marriage equality is legal and culturally accepted by the majority of its population. In many of these nations, the Roman Catholic Church holds the cultural and observant allegiance of a majority in these populations . Spain, once a Catholic theocracy under Franco, has both pluralism and marriage equality. Canada has a majority Catholic population, as does Belgium. Soon, Portugal will complete marriage equality on the Iberian Peninsula. The Netherlands have a split decision among Catholics and Calvinists. Norway and Sweden have established Lutheran confessions. A majority of South Africans are Anglicans. Yet, the Lutheran Scandanavian Churches embrace GLBT Marriage Equality. The ACC and the United Church of Canada embrace GLBT Marriage Equality.
The name of the Rev. Dr. Brent Hawkes,OC and the Most Rev. Dr. Desmond Tutu loom large over the decisions to legislate civil law over the malevolence of the Roman Catholic Church in those nations. Will the United States find such a person to emulate the witness of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? Do I not remind my readers that the AA Civil Rights successes were not won under the secular but the spiritual umbrella? When has history ever informed us that a subjective secular political issue trumped a moral imperative, even if the "moralists" are disingenuous and derisive of Christian love and compassion?
Those are the choices. Those are the strategies. There are spiritual leaders whom I both love and admire who advocate differently than I do. There are those among them who allow GAY INC to write the script. They advocate gradualism, incrementalism, and compromise to the point of capitulation. This includes gay and lesbian men and women elected to Congress, and appointed to serve in the Obama Administration.

The Dominion of Lambda stands as a beacon of freedom and equality for all GLBT persons and the families, immediate and extended, who love them. We hope and sincerely pray that the United States of America soon join those civilised nations who provide equal justice under law for all its citizens, and resists the apartheid that the Union of South Africa rejected, and four years ago, provided its GLBT citizens with full justice and equality as well.

GOVERNOR GENERAL DELIVERS SPEECH TO INVITED FOREIGN DIGNITARIES

The Governor General of the Dominion of Lambda, the Right Honourable Mrs. Lee Dorsey, delivered similar themes expressed in the Throne Speech last week to visiting foreign dignitaries at Wilde House, the official residence of the Governor General.

The Governor General's remarks follow:

In 1896, Theodor Herzl, the father of political Zionism, wrote the JUDENSTAAT, the Jewish state. Fifty-two years before the establishment of Israel, the actual Jewish state, Herzl gave cogent reasons why the world needed to establish a homeland for a persecuted community murdered in pogroms, and reviled in politics and literature and Christian theocracies for millennia. Herzl himself could not, at its writing, envision the Final Solution, the Holocaust, that nearly exterminated the Jewish race in Europe, both Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities in diaspora.
The establishment of the Jewish State (JUDENSTAAT) did not imply that all Jews would eventually emigrate to their homeland. Assuredly, implicit dual citizenship was noted. Worldwide able bodied men and women, and even those less able, came to the defence of Israel in its initial formation in 1948, and in the subsequent wars of survival in the last six decades. Zionism had a socialistic component in the kibbutz, where everyone came together with their skills and talents to contribute to the commonweal.
They came for religious freedom and for secular self-governance. They came to create the Jewish state, but did so with the promise and reality of religious and secular freedom for those who did not share their religion, or practice it with the fervency of the orthodox observant person.
It is time to ask if the blueprint for the GLBT state is not upon us. The creation of the Dominion of Lambda is such an exercise in virtual expression of the need for such a nation state. Like Israel, it would not become the home for all GLBT persons, families and supportive friends and extended families, but rather a homeland where all would have citizenship when their native land would persecute them unto death or provide them with inferior rights and privileges.
Like the model state described herein, the world knows that there are now eight and almost nine countries who have full marriage equality while a dozen more provide separate but equal rights to marriage. There are nations who murder us legally and nations who refuse to provide a modicum of rights and remove them with prejudice. However if you seek to survive in the latter nations, you do so at the peril of life and limb, and you need the safety of our own nation state.
Echoing the words of Moses to Pharoah, it is time to say loudly and firmly. We must speak as a world community from all parts of the five continents......PHAROAH (S) .......LET MY PEOPLE GO.... GIVE US OUR OWN HOMELAND .

The speech, written by the Tory government, was attended by both the Prime Minister Decelles-Smith and the Opposition Leader Lubrano, and various members of both the Senate and the House of Commons.

LAMBDA NATIONAL CATHOLIC PRIMATE CALLS FOR SELF EXCOMMUNICATION LETTER TO ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

In the aftermath of a worldwide persecution of GLBT Lambda family in diaspora, the Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church, and the Catholic Apostolic Diocese in union with it, has issued a call for cultural and observant Roman Catholics to self excommunicate themselves formally from the Vatican jurisdiction.

The Lambda National Catholic Church is autocephalous or independent gay and gay-affirming jurisdiction separate from the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic does not recognise the LNCC or the CAD regardless of its Catholic faith and practice and valid Holy Orders. Lambda National Catholics, many of whom were Roman Catholics at one time, could not incardinate formally into their new Church.

The Most Reverend Norbert Breault, DD, LLD, the Archbishop of Jamestown and Primate of the Lambda National Catholic Church has invited all former "cultural" Catholics who oppose the Papal proscription and persecution of GLBT persons nationwide to consider the following formal step and to proceed accordingly:

1) Identify the parish church and the particular diocese in which you were baptised or received into the Roman Catholic Church, and which diocesan bishop confirmed you.

2) Send a letter of self excommunication to the Roman Catholic parish where your baptismal records are kept for posterity. You are considered a Catholic, albeit "lapsed", until you formally excommunicate yourself. It is then that the hypocrisy of their numbers comes to light.

3) Send a copy of the letter to the Roman Catholic archdiocese or diocese where the parish is located. If you attended more than one parish in more than one archdiocese or diocese, send them a letter as well.

4) Notify GLBT and other media in order to count the number of cultural and now former Roman Catholics who have formally left the organisation. If you are still sacramentally observant, write to the LNCC for the names and numbers of gay affirming Catholic jurisdictions in your area.

Dear Most Reverend or Reverend Sirs,

My name is ................................... . I am the son of ................................. I was born on (date) in .........(city, county, state) and canonically resident within the (Arch) diocese of .,.................. and the parish church of ..........(name of parish.)

As a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender person, I hold the Roman Catholic Church in contempt for its theocratic agenda in denying me, my spouse and my children my civil rights. It is not necessary to recount my utter disgust at the paedophilic scandals that have identified your Church, nor your determination to scapegoat us in the process. I feel saddened by the fact that hard-earned dollars from sincere Roman Catholic parishioners has been used to advance the agenda in Maine and elsewhere.

It is hoped that you have won a Pyrhhic victory, for the United States Constitution assures me equal rights under law. In attempting to obtain these secular and civil rights, I do not want my former association with your Church to be implied due to the lack of formal rupture.

Therefore, I personally and formally excommunicate myself from the Roman Catholic Church (excommunicatio pro se). Many of us are Christians, and have not experienced such spiritual violence as to lose faith in Christ and His Church, and have found Catholicism outside Rome that affirms our place within His Mystical Body. Others, however, have harboured such hurt and pain that they remain forever outside any belief or organisation that professes a theistic faith.

Yours sincerely,

(Your name)

THRONE SPEECH......LET MY PEOPLE GO.....

In solemn ceremony, in the Senate of the Dominion of Lambda, with the House of Commons invited to hear the Throne Speech, the Governor General delivered the speech written by the Tory government recently elected to govern the virtual nation state.

Prime Minister Decelles-Smith and Opposition Leader Lubrano led a delegation of the House of Commons to the Senate to hear the legislation to be proposed at this Opening of Parliament.

The themes discussed were those voiced during the recent election campaign. There are proposals in terms of health care, education and social programmes that have general agreement between both major political parties in Parliament. It was clear in statements made by the Liberal opposition, that the differences lie in depth and extension of programmes proposed by the Tory government. In terms of foreign policy, the theme was Mosaic in its appeal.

Speaking to nations with GLBT Lambdans who hold dual citizenship, the message was clear.

"Either you provide full and equal rights to our shared citizenry, " uttered the Governor General Lee Dorsey, "as have eight nations of the world, or a dozen more with federal recognition approaching full equality, or our message is clear, PHAROAH, LET MY PEOPLE GO." Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Lambdans in diaspora need full protection under your laws. If your intention is to relegate GLBT citizens to permanent second class status, you should provide them with the needed resources and protection of your government . You should assist them to leave your nations permanently so that they can come home from diaspora to a land who loves them."

Without mentioning the nation by name, it was clear that the foreign policy parts of the Throne Speech was primarily aimed at nations, in the Islamic nations who murder our people. In the so-called Christian nations, especially the reactionary theocratic nations led by the United States of America, the repeal of laws providing limited civil marriage rights hung heavily among those with dual nationality with that nation. In recent days, Immigration and Naturalisation requests from American citizens has increased significantly. Certificates of Citizenship for these families, couples and single persons is fast tracked due to a law that expires 31 December 2009. The new Lambda Citizenship Act takes effect on 1 January 2010, and will be more complex to emigrate as easily as the law presently allows.
