It comes as reports emerge that the rugby star’s cousin, Josiah Folau, left his position at St. Gregory’s College in Campbelltown after describing the Catholic Church as “the synagogue of Satan”.
“There were genuinely no signs of Folau’s homophobia at the time. But perhaps we were all naïve.”
With our 40th anniversary relaunch issue about to come out, we look back at the edition that marked our 35th anniversary…which featured Israel Folau on the cover.
“It sounds like the Government’s proposal would prevent employers from being able to protect their businesses from the damaging public actions of employees.”
“We have to face the stark reality that the movement to weaken Australia’s LGBTI legal rights under cover of religious freedom is not going away.”
“[Israel] wants it known that these attacks have hardened his resolve.”
Israel Folau set up a page earlier this week, encouraging the public to help him raise money for his legal costs.
“Israel Folau is the price we pay for free speech… he has the right to say it and I have a responsibility to oppose what he says.”
Folau also criticised churches for accepting same-sex marriage and called on his fellow Christians to stand up for God’s teachings.
Folau has said he’s taking the action in pursuit of his “right to religious freedom”.
