Barbara Hubbard and others in the "conscious evolution" or "Christ Conscious" movement are preaching a very anti Christ, and dangerous message! It is simply a new form of Gnosticism. It is very dangerous because it gives people the sense of hope that we will enter into a great age of unity with Christ, but NOT through faith and faithfulness in Jesus Christ, but simply through an automatic spiritual "evolution" that if anything, is only dependent on our "openness" to this "insight". Thus, victims who have fallen for this pseudo Christianity, pseudo science nonsense become arrogant in their special awareness of this truth and accuse the bishops and the Vatican, and probably any Christian who professes his need for a Savior, as backward at best and simply evil at the worst. How utterly anti Christ! And of course that is how one might describe the mission of the National Catholic Reporter. But it is nevertheless sad to see so many deceived souls following this bilge. They desperately need our love and prayers, NOT our scorn!!

Instead, it looks like we got a more Christ-like balence of compassion and orthodoxy which angers both extremes.

Sexual organs of a human being are highly specialised" (quotation from the link provided in this article). The proposed punishments are too harsh, but it's refreshing to hear some common sense every now and then! He's the "Gene" of Uganda!
