Working Together As Neighbours

As lobby groups and a few well meaning MPs (who risk their jobs) try to find new strategic ways to force the tongues of wolves to debate the fate of the lambs, the mass slaughter of the born and preborn goes on unhindered.

What are the possibilities for success in lobbying the government when MPs have been unable to move them? You realize, of course, that they have just passed a stupidity bill giving grown men (who think they are women) legal rights to the same bathroom from which you await your daughter’s return. It’s difficult to determine where the stupidity lies when we elect and then pay these decision makers over one hundred thousand dollars a year.

Now there is a solution but it depends on whether or not the various flavours of Christians can love and work with their neighbour long enough to get the job done; as I put it in last week’s Communiqué, “White Smoke,” to get off their “high horse” and do something together. Heaven forbid! I wasn’t suggesting they try to agree on matters of dogma and doctrine or the affairs of the Church, but simply to work together as neighbours, constructively, in politics.

Roman Catholics, Protestants, and those who appreciate the need to have biblical moral principles of right and wrong (righteousness) undergird legal and illegal (civil law) activities contain the unharnessed power to change the course of history in Canadian politics. Policies and programs that are beneficial to Canadians can arise from the principles they agree on – policies that we can all agree with for the betterment of families and future generations.

Faiths are often in different camps and most are worlds apart. Apples, oranges, and the odd raisin aren't the same and never will be. They can come together to make a good fruit salad, which is where the Christian Heritage Party comes in. We work together committed to the betterment of the country because we share mutual desires to have civil law that reflects moral law.

An “Elucidation” drafted in 2012 went to great lengths to explain the meaning behind the principles of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada. It explains that CHP principles:

[A]acknowledge and affirm the understanding and acceptance of authority in the Roman Catholic Church such that the Magisterium, which is provided through Apostolic Succession and communion with the Successor of Peter manifests divine authority; and therefore represents a difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics fully understood at the time of the Party’s foundation, yet without prejudice [injury] to the Party’s promulgated establishment for the cause of a shared singular political goal, under the common umbrella of the Party, which is not a Church, but rather a vehicle through which Christians of different background may find that integrity of principle and practise, that allows them to participate and be engaged politically in the public square as citizens of the Dominion of Canada.

To join the party one only has to agree to the statement that: Canada’s heritage, culture, and rule of law, as referenced in the preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, are rooted in the understanding that “God” refers to the God of the Bible, and that the purpose of civil government is to ensure security, freedom, and justice for all its citizens from conception till natural death, by upholding just laws.

Lobbying government is not the business of CHP Canada. Our purpose and business is to form government. We use different methods to achieve our purpose and when people unite under the CHP umbrella for this common cause (yes that means different denominations working together as neighbours), then we’ll have the wolves on the run, all babies given their legal right to life, men directed to their proper washrooms, and solid social and fiscal conservative policies returned to our nation.

Today, take this opportunity and join a political party that can, with the support of Canadians, restore legitimacy to government by restoring morality to government.
