France set to ban the words 'mother' and 'father' from official documents

The move, which has outraged Catholics, means only the word "parents" would be used in identical marriage ceremonies for all heterosexual and same-sex couples.

The draft law states that "marriage is a union of two people, of different or the same gender".

It says all references to "mothers and fathers" in the civil code – which enshrines French law – will be swapped for simply "parents".
The law would also give equal adoption rights to homosexual and heterosexual couples.

This should bring about an Exodus of Christian's from that godless country.

"Our Heavenly Father, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ," how will that sound now, 'our heavenly parent??????'

Not much longer,

They tried this before. Didn't they learn anything from the French Revolution? This is the sad thing that happens when the government will not teach its citizens good history. An entire generation grows up uneducated and makes the same mistakes, instead of learning from them.
