In the print version of my column "MSNBC, NBC, and NPR
scorn man of God," I wrote: "It is important to note
that God Almighty is Master of the Catholic Church, not
Karol Wojtyla [i.e., Pope John Paul II] nor some
banausic news jockey anchored in New York." This
despite the fact that a few homosexual pedophiles
viewed the Church's altar boys as an exclusive self
replenishing dating service for those predisposed to
such barbaric debauchery notwithstanding.
Prior to the selection of Cardinal Ratzinger as Pope
Benedict XVI, the liberal media openly berated the
legacy and character of Pope John Paul II as he lay in
state. By their actions, they denounced the Holy Spirit
of the true God in the selection process of the new
pontiff, expressing what they alone knew to be proper
for the Catholic Church.
A black pope, an African pope or a Hispanic pontiff was
needed. Someone who would realize the need to be
contemporary to the day and times in which "we" live,
they clambered. This writer is personally surprised
they didn't call for a black, lesbian, pro-abortion
woman to lead the church. As long as she wasn't a
Republican, they no doubt would still be dancing in the
streets. But I digress.
To the dismay of these "gods" (small "g") their near
worst nightmare was realized. A Bible-believing
adherent to Catholicism was selected to lead the
Catholic Church. Pope Benedict was dubbed "God's
Rottweiler, the Enforcer and Cardinal No by
the "goddians from the "godhead" of the liberal media.
Gerard Baker put it well when writing: "The Church's
mission is to bear witness to the truth [of God]. The
truth [of God] is not something that needs redefining
each time a pope dies ("Shock! New Pope a Catholic,"
Timesonline.com, April 21, 2005). But to the mordant,
contumacious minded media elites, a sin against
their "humankind" had been committed.
The pouty Katie Couric delivered a homily on the polls
to the handful that still worship her show. She ranted
that 78 percent of American Catholics wanted the Church
to be less conservative ("The Today Show," April 18,
2005). But as the Media Research Center pointed out,
the only poll they were able "to locate with such a
finding was an early April CNN-USA Today-Gallup survey
of Catholics which found 78 percent said the next pope
should "allow Catholics to use birth control."
In other words, Couric purposely distorted the poll
findings to fit her homily. Her congregation will never
know that 59 percent of those responding when asked if
the next pope should "make church doctrine on abortion
less strict" responded "No."
CNN's Paula Zahn focused on how "many Catholic women
[where] praying that the white smoke from the Sistine
Chapel chimney will signal" a "revolution" changing the
church's policy on abortion, birth control and women
priests. She concluded with a plea from a 12-year-old
girl begging for the same opportunities as boys. But
the questions that beg answering – the questions that
none of these hypocritical marplots will answer is: Who
are these women, and are their desires the will of the
True God?
They cannot answer because they do not believe. Their
theology is based upon feel-good sentimentality and
convenience. It is as elite as they are.
There was a time in America when it would have been
unimaginable to behave with such pagan disdain for men
of God, but in today's social climate, it is
permissible. We live in a seemingly parallel universe
where truth and honor are to be resisted at all cost.
The law-abiding are constrained, while the criminals
and lawbreakers are protected and cajoled.
In the past 12 months, we have witnessed the abuse of
young boys by homosexual pedophile predator priests who
were supposedly leading them into a life of service to
the God they claimed to serve. Yet the call goes forth
for homosexuals to be ordained. We have witnessed the
rape and murder of innocent children, while over a
period of years the legal system led by the American
Civil Liberties Union sought to protect the rights of
sexual predators.
"Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest,
whatever things are just, whatever things are of good
report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8) has
been replaced by whatever is dishonest, whatever is
base, whatever is common, whatever reduces man and
woman to the depths of depravity, whatever is without
virtue, think, act on and promote those things.
Pope Benedict has been contemptuously labeled as "ultra
conservative." As if scriptural adherence in a minister
is anathema, America's crown cherub of wholesomeness,
Katie Couric, referred to the new pope as "known to be
quite conservative," contorting her face as if
something foul (apart from her tongue) were in her
mouth. Herein we evidence the avouchment of 2 Timothy
4:3-4.
Nietzsche's 'transvaluation of all values' is the operative motivator behind the MSM wandos.
They've earned the monicker "perverts" in the very largest sense--not merely sexual--but in the sense of 'perversion' of right order and right thinking.
Which is why the MSM continues to play to a smaller and smaller audience.
"Contumacious" is an excellent word to have in your vocabulary...
"She concluded with a plea from a 12-year-old girl begging for the same opportunities as boys. "
Seems to me to be a reflection on the parental climate today..... kids never hear 'no' because 'yes' requires less time and less explaination (or catechism in this example). It's the easy way to go.
Or relegating those ordained debauchers of boys to the status of 'useless eaters' who have no hope of recovery.
Things got way too lax, too liberal and too flakey during the period of the great invasion by the Rainbow pederast crowd. The only way to protect the priesthood from sexual criminals is to make it a lot less attractive and less friendly to their lifestyle. There should be ABSOLUTELY NO BEACH RESORT VACATIONS for clergy. That will cut the numbers of fruitcakes down considerably. Keep them away from boys in swimsuits AT ALL COSTS. If they know they will never get access to that as priests, they won't seek clerical careers as a lifestyle option.
I know several diocesan priests who have family money and who go off on hunting trips or fishing trips or golf resort trips. I'm sure you do as well. I also know someone who knows a very, very orthodox priest (nationally well known) who loves expensive dinners in fine restaurants accompanied by bottles of expensive wine. I'm never sure what to think of this. Was just thinking too, that one of the FR posters personally knows a very orthodox bishop here in the US who keeps a personal temp controlled wine cellar full of expensive wines.
And how many times in the past 12 months have we been witness to story after story of male pig teachers molesting boys and girls and buxom young middle school teacher vixens with perky bosoms, pouty lips and black silk stockings with the little line that runs up the back and high heels and..... uh, um.... huh? Oh, sorry..., ahem...where was I?....., Oh yeah,...these slut teachers having sex with 13 and 14 year old boys?
What did Reg Weaver know and when did he know it?
contumacious \kon-t(y)oo-MAY-shuhs; kon-tuh-\, adjective:
1. Exhibiting contempt for authority; obstinate; stubbornly disobedient.
2. (Law) Willfully disobedient to the summons or orders of a court.
As though our President didn't have enough to worry about, with the confusion on Kosovo policy and the collapse of the China World Trade Organization deal, now he must finally face the music on being contumacious about his concupiscence.
--Maureen Dowd, "Contempt, She Says," New York Times, April 14, 1999
A religious enemy... once described her as "an unstable, restless, disobedient and contumacious female."
--"Think Positive," The Economist, November 13, 1999
banausic
SYLLABICATION: ba·nau·sic
PRONUNCIATION: b-nôsk, -zk
ADJECTIVE: 1. Merely mechanical; routine: “a sensitive, self-conscious creature . . . in sad revolt against uncongenially banausic employment” (London Magazine). 2. Of or relating to a mechanic.
ETYMOLOGY: Greek banausikos, from banausos, mechanic.
I posted the above for anyone like me who hadn't heard of either word before. Excellent words! I may have to replace 'unctuous' as my favorite word with 'contumacious' which has found a warm place in my heart.
There are plenty of sick people in hospitals who need the sacraments brought to them during the summers. Men who prefer fun & leisure over sacramental work, need not apply to the Catholic priesthood. The beach houses that are owned by clergy should be sold and the funds should go back to the church to be used for scholarships for needs students or to pay the legal fees for the butt sex rape cases. We have to be brutally honest on these things. Being a Catholic priest is not "Spring Break."
I tend to agree with you but realize you have been exposed to the Jesuits as they are today in the universities.... which contributes to your hard line.
I dunno... I'm 75% with you but I know what you propose would require a diocesan priest to take a vow of poverty. I don't think that would fly.
And I am violently opposed to leaving money to the Church.
That's "gay" behavior, Colleen. The "priests" that are constantly chasing after lavish dinner parties, dining outings, who collect designer sweaters, etc., these are the fruitcakes. Who is PAYING for all of that stuff anyway? They have CLOSED parishes in Boston and New York because queer priests RAPED young teenage boys. No more expense accounts and Platinum AmEx cards for priests.
Maybe it goes along with the 'limo' mentality?
Just freaking UNBELIEVABLE!!!
One of those phony wackjobs is now president of a university.
I'm sure you have seen the articles about the priest who has the $3 million place in Cape Cop. He embezzled church funds to buy that for himself. Good grief, don't they ever audit these guys??? How did Paul Shanley have funds to buy a pedophile resort hotel?
I can't say if a taste for fine wine is a compensation anxiety to overcome low self esteem since I couldn't tell the difference between Mad Dog 20/20 and pouilly fuisse. So I will defer to anyone on this particular topic. :-)
The priest on the cape... yep, family money and embezzled funds to pay the 'caretaker' (wink, wink) - this is when brother priests need to speak up. No priest should live in luxury. But I don't know what you do about the diocesan vow not including one of poverty.
