Poland targets 'gay' Teletubbies

"A senior Polish official has ordered psychologists to investigate whether the popular BBC TV show Teletubbies promotes a homosexual lifestyle."

Original LBN story


And this from 2 weeks ago -

WORLD CONGRESS OF FAMILIES IV - Warsaw, Poland, 11-13 May 2007

The Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women For America, International Campaign for the Family, Heritage Foundation, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, Familias Y Sociedad (Mexico), Religious Freedom Coalition, The Howard Center For Family, Religion and Society, European Federation for the Family (Switzerland), Family First Foundation, Red Familia (Mexico), Family Caucus, World Family Policy Center, Don Feder Associates, United Families International, Church of God – Family Ministries, Latin American Alliance for Families (Venezula), and Polish Federation of Pro-Life Movements (Poland)

What is The World Congress of Families?

In response to a militantly anti-family ethos prevalent in the ‘post modern’ West, the World Congress of Families fosters an international network of pro-family organizations, scholars, and leaders that seeks to restore the natural family as the fundamental social unit and the ‘seed bed’ of a sane society. To date, there have been three World Congresses of Families – Prague (1997), Geneva (1999) and Mexico City (2004). WCF IV is being planned for Warsaw, May 11-13, 2007.

Our Goals

To shift the terms of public policy debate:

• From “The family as an obstacle to development” to “The family as the source of social renewal and progress.”

• From “overpopulation” to “under-population” as the demographic challenge of the 21st century.

• From “The small family and voluntary childlessness as good” to “The celebration of the large family as a special social gift.”

• And from religious orthodoxy as a “threat to progress” to “religious orthodoxy as the source of humane values and cultural progress.”

Why Warsaw?

“Europe is almost lost; to a demographic winter and to the secularists. If Europe goes much of the world will go with it. Almost alone, Poland has maintained strong faith and strong families, though even Poland comes under severe pressure to change. Poland has saved Europe before. It is likely she will save Europe again. On family and population questions, Europe is the battleground in the early years of the 21st Century, and Poland is the pivot point. It makes abundant sense that The World Congress of Families IV meet among the brave people of Poland. Poland’s central location will give pro-family groups across the Continent easy access to this Congress.” ~ from the WCF IV Planning Meeting, October 23-25, 2005, Rockford, Illinois

"Poland Digs In Against Tide Toward Secularism" Chicago Tribune 5 June 2006

The Conference will address such timely and vital issues as:

The Importance of Marriage • Children • The Family and Society • Assaults on the Family • Population Control • Aborting Our Future • Media and the Family • The Family and Globalization • The Family as an Effective Anti-Poverty Agency • The Family’s Contribution to a Nation’s Economy • Pro-Family Policies That Work • How Religion Supports the Natural Family

19. Just over-reacting ultra-Conservative Catholics
It is only a matter of time before they use more and more recycled material as ultra-conservative Catholicism and Protestantism are pretty close in their media outreach.
