In general we all know most of these types of changes are up to “no good”. This one is worse that. It goes so far as to strip God’s nature from masculine to being genderless in the preamble of the proposed St. Louis County Charter changes. God is NOT genderless. This is an abomination.
The proposed change takes out the masculine reference to God, omitting the word “His”.
This seems harmless. It is not. People who you think know better than you, who may hold an elected or paid position with the county or who you just think “must know more than me”, do NOT. Trust yourself and what every 5th grader has a sense of of: common sense. The first rules of logic: the principle of non-contradiction! This simply put, means, a thing can’t be A and not be A. So God can be a He and not be a He. Taking away this masculine reference chips away at our faith!
Some will tell you “it’s no big deal” or “vote how you want; it doesn’t matter”. Do not let them “gaslight” you. It is a huge deal! If that is the case – it is “no big deal” – then leave it the way it is, how about that? Why the changes? Where did these progressive Charter changes come from exactly?
You can see this change in the preamble to the County Charter in the link below. It uses the NON-BINARY” GENDER FREE language for God as dictated by the Marxist LGBTQ+++ agenda. It denatures God. It is as if we fear to present Him as our Father.
Section 4.130 on about page 22 and subsections 1-11 in the link below, shows also the greatly expanded powers of the Department of Community Health and its director. These are UNELECTED people and so appointed, generally unaccountable bureaucratic “officials”. It substitutes words like “assess” with “control and manage”.

It is a mystery as to why our “conservative” county council members are not warning good Catholic Christians and all Christians about these proposed changes! We understand they are outvoted on the County Council but that is no reason to knowingly lead us down the primrose path. Tell us we should vote NO on August 4th. Words mean things! Is yiour alliance to your fellow County Council members or We, The People?
Our county council members are only elected to carry out the oath of their office and to represent us, in each of their districts properly by penning the precise words needed in such a charter; that means no more and no less.

CHICAGO – “This is a total and complete victory for people of faith,” declared Thomas More Society vice president and senior counsel Peter Breen.
After a lawsuit claiming religious discrimination and the violation of the state and U.S. constitutions, the state of Illinois has backed down from its imbalanced mandates with regard to religious houses of worship. Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker reversed his bans on drive-in services and small group services of up to 10 people.
Pritzker announced in his daily press briefing on May 28 that he is withdrawing mandates on Illinois churches and replacing them with health department “guidelines” for places of worship. Read more “Churches Band Together, Illinois Concedes”

On Oct. 29, the Kansas City Royals lost the deciding game of the World Series to the San Francisco Giants by only one run. While Royals’ fans were deeply disappointed at the final score, the mere fact that the team was there at all is noteworthy, since they hadn’t been to the World Series — or even the postseason — since 1985.
Toby Cook, the Royals’ vice president of community affairs and publicity, sees not only these and other baseball positives, but also the many faith-related ones that surround the team. The 47-year-old father of five has been a Royals’ fan since the age of 8, and he believes his longtime association with the team was brought about by God not only for baseball and career purposes, but in order that he would enter the Catholic Church.
Cook spoke of baseball and his faith journey with Register correspondent Trent Beattie as the Royals prepared for their opening game of spring training against the Texas Rangers on March 4.

After writing letters making false allegations, organizing protests and threatening the use of bullhorns, St. Louis transgender activists were unable to stop Dr. Paul Hruz on Saturday from delivering his lecture, “Sex & Gender in Light of Truth, Beauty and Goodness.”
The lecture took place at St. Anselm Parish in suburban St. Louis but was sponsored by a local organization, CREDO of the Catholic Laity — a group founded in 1995 by a small band of faithful Catholic men who felt the Church in St. Louis was going “off track.” To keep the Church “on track,” CREDO has hosted lectures by noted Catholic scholars and experts. Last year, Cdl. Raymond Burke, former head of the Vatican’s Apostolic Signatura, was the group’s featured speaker. Read more “ST. LOUIS TRANS ACTIVISTS FAIL TO SHUT DOWN LECTURE”
