Victoria’s premier denies he stirred division in the community following appointment of Andrew Thorburn

At a press conference on Thursday in Melton in Melbourne’s west, Andrews spoke of how his own Catholic faith guided his actions in government.

“It also guides me in my sense of what is right and what is wrong, and if I can just say with utmost respect, calling out homophobia is not the problem. Homophobia is the problem.” “Anyone who is a supporter who hasn’t become a member yet, please join. It’s a great footy club,” he said.

No one (least of all DanielAndrewsMP) gets to define God & His truth. A genuine Christian knows that in their spirit. This man is a fraud!

So king Henry has designed himself a new religion.

Ban the Dan and Free the Weed!

What's he on about ?

Begs to differ... with God.

A bishop and a priest catch up for dinner one Sunday evening. Bishop: “How did mass go today?” Priest: “Well, a man I know to be homosexual came up for communion.” Bishop: “ So what did you do?” Priest: “I did what Jesus would have done.” Bishop: “OMG, what have you done!?”

What’s a bigger off field issue in the AFL? Racism or wealthy old white guy being asked to stand down as a director at a religion or resign as a CEO?

Andrews is spot on. People like Comensoli just don't get it. The hatred voiced by Thorburn and his church is divisive and harmful, not that of those condemning such hatred. If the catholic church wants to remain relevant in today's world it must get rid of these old men quickly.

That's right. Christianity is about the teachings of Christ which never included moralising but did include all people, especially the marginalised. It's not the hypocritical hangups of the institutionalised CHURCH holding out Pharisee-like dictums: the dude in the costume.

And pray scamdemic dan actually got jabbed with the mRNA ☠, then if not 💉 under common law to be immediately stripped of gov paid position effective yesterday...

michaelpurvis64 Dan gets God

‘Calling out homophobia is not the problem. Homophobia is the problem’. Too bloody right! Where do these religious nutters get off complaining about being held to account? If you can’t stand the blow back from your bigotry, better keep your mouth shut.

Figures chairman Dan wants to run everything in Victoria

Are victorians up to vote sometime soon?
