<\/a>The news reports on the decay of liberal Protestantism seem to be flying in faster than we can record them this summer. Here\u2019s one <\/a>\u00a0about the Presbyterian \u00a0Church of the USA. There are dozens of Presbyterian denominations, and this is the most liberal of them.<\/p>\n

The report says, the PCUSA General Assembly, \u201cwhich took place between June 21 and June 28. \u2026nullified proscriptions against sexual behavior outside of marriage and called for a vote to delete the church\u2019s constitutional standard requiring fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness. It also initiated a process that could remove mention of the Bible\u2019s prohibition against homosexuality form the Heidelberg Catechism.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The PCUSA Assembly also voted to establish a $2million fund to fight the congregations who want to pull out of the denomination and take their property with them.<\/div>\n
Both votes are part of a clear, aggressive campaign by the feminist\/homosexualists to eliminate their enemies.\n<\/div>\n
As the revisionist agenda continues apace within the mainstream Protestant denominations be prepared for long, drawn out property wars. It ain\u2019t gonna be pretty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gloves are Off<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The news reports on the decay of liberal Protestantism seem to be flying in faster than we can record them this summer.
