His organ: Dickens wouldn't have written this today

She touched his organ, and from that bright epoch even it, the old companion of his happiest hours, incapable as he had thought of elevation, began a new and deified existence. 

        --Charles Dickens (1812-1870), Martin Chuzzlewit (pub. 1843-44), chapter 24. [With thanks to John Lloyd and John Mitchinson, editors of brilliant quotation book If Ignorance Is Bliss, Why Aren't There More Happy People?]

Bishop of Córdoba, Spain, on UNESCO's secret plan to turn world homosexual

The Minister for Family of the Papal Government, Cardinal Antonelli, told me a few days ago in Zaragoza that UNESCO has a program for the next 20 years to make half the world population homosexual. To do this they have distinct programs, and will continue to implant the ideology that is already present in our schools.

  --Demetrio Fernández, bishop of Córdoba, Spain, in a speech for the festival of the Holy Family on 26 December 2011.

El “ministro” de la familia en el gobierno del Papa, el cardenal Antonelli, me comentaba hace pocos días en Zaragoza que la Unesco tiene programado para los próximos 20 años hacer que la mitad de la población mundial sea homosexual. Para eso, a través de distintos programas, irá implantando la ideología de género, que ya está presente en nuestras escuelas.
