A very wise man.
God is the final arbiter of all societies and the natural laws He has put in place destroyed aberrant social entities from the days of Sodom and Gomorrah to the present.
Until America awakens and returns to its roots as a “City on a Hill,” we will NEVER rid ourselves of monstrosities like Obama and Clinton. They are the scourges Nature’s God sends to chastise us and make us mend our ways.

Father C. hits the nail on the head.
“Why? How have we come to this? It can be traced to the most compelling moral issue of our times, and we can’t escape from it, no matter how uncomfortable it is - abortion and other life issues.”
I think it started before abortion.
What we are dealing with in our society, sexual “liberation”, political correctness, gender confusion, etc. is an out-winding of Socialism/Communism and their desire, starting in the early 20’s, to destabilize Western Civilization. Socialism/Communism came from German rationalism, which, in turn, sprang from the fertile soil of German theological liberalism exemplified by the Higher Criticism movement.
Long story short: man cast off the authority of the Bible.
It cannot be said better.

Father Corapi is wonderful to listen to as well as read. He does not shrink from his duty to guide and challenge evil.
It starts with small pieces of the moral iceberg being chipped away, but when everywhere you look pieces are being chipped away like a bad Edward Scissorhands sculpturer, there can only be one result. The question is... what will rise from the ashes or is this the last hoorah?
Satan has twisted truth to his will. Now the Sheeple call wrong, right.
Bears repeating.

Very good article; post in a thread of life-affirming-not-aborted posters.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Study the republics of the last 2,000 years and you see our current situation mirrored.
I must disagree to an extent that the beginning of the rot is life issues. It starts with selfishness and self-centeredness. Thinking only of oneself and possessions, pleasure, comfort, etc., is where it starts. This leads to the life issues being compromised, because various humans don't want to be inconvenienced, sacrifice and all that stuff that's "hard."
I just believe that lack of a willingness to have true Christian charity and a giving heart is where the rot begins.
