Conservative Author
Praises Work Of NARTH
November 1, 2005 -
IntellectualConservative.com has recently published a report on efforts
throughout the U.S. to amend state constitutions to define marriage as a union
of one man and one woman. In it, the author praises NARTH for its
reparative/reorientation therapy work.
Writer Barbara Kralis notes in "The Heroic Battle of the United States to
Preserve the Sacred Covenant of Marriage, Part IV," that eighteen states
currently have constitutional protections for traditional marriage. Texans will
vote on a constitutional amendment on Nov. 8. Seven states currently have no
statutes or amendments defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
According to Kralis, "If the United States does not heroically battle same-sex
marriage rulings, America might eventually define as marriage: polygamy (having
more than one wife); polyandry (having more than one husband); polyamory (group
marriage); marriage involving normal incest (brother and sister); and same-sex
incest. The courts could even be challenged to allow bestial marriage
(non-consensual sex between man and animal.) [Reference: Wesley J. Smith, "Horse
Sense," The Weekly Standard, August 31, 2005.]
In her article, Mrs. Kralis quotes Dr. Nicolosi's letter to the American Medical
Association over its inaccurate statements about homosexuality in its medical
encyclopedia. She notes of NARTH and Dr. Nicolosi, "We give thanks to successful
reparative or reorientation therapies such as those given by Dr. Joseph
Nicolosi, Ph.D. and President of National Association for Research & Therapy of
Homosexuality (NARTH) and Director of the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic,
Encino, California.
"We must never give up the heroic battle to preserve the sacred covenant of
marriage between one man and one woman who cooperate with God in the creation of
a new human person, destined for eternal life."
Mrs. Kralis and her husband co-direct the Jesus Through Mary Catholic Foundation
in Texas.
