For my non-Catholic readers you may find that title surprising, for some of my Catholic readers you may find it scandalous. However I suspect most of you will know exactly what it means.
As you know by now, the Supreme Court of the United States of America in a 5-4 vote decided that two men or two women have the constitutional right to enter into a legal marriage. What a lie. What utter poppycock.
As for the comments by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' President, you're a little late. You did this. You and your colleagues and your predecessors. You are a scandal to the faithful. You are a disgrace to the Martyrs.
Marriage is between one man and one woman, period. You can call this legal definition whatever you want but marriage, it is not.
In Canada, we have had it forced upon us for a decade now. I recall the years before the debate with the news articles and sad stories about why such an abomination was necessary. These arguments never seemed to be part of the debate in America which seemed to centre specifically around "equality." While that was the eventual argument here under the minority rights provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms it was not how Canadians were softened up.
We were presented with stories about how a co-habitating couple who were together for many years found themselves cut out of medical decisions or funeral arrangements for one or the other by cruel and vindictive families of the ill or deceased. We heard about how their health benefits were not available to the other (corporations quickly changed that lest they be accused of discrimination). Houses and bank accounts were frozen and the poor survivor was left homeless or penniless after death. And then of course, it was all about his and his towels, kitchen appliances and how much they love one another.
The truth is, it was never about marriage. One did not need "marriage" to affect inheritance, property financial security or visits in a hospital, decisions by others as to treatment or funeral arrangements. Canada, after all, is a nation with laws and legal precedence and civil courts and legislation. No "gay" couple needed marriage to give them legal protection. They needed a Last Will and Testament, a Power of Attorney for Personal Care, a Power of Attorney Over Personal Finances, an "On Title" to a property, "Joint Tenantship" to a lease. You see, legal protections were already there for any two persons to make any kind of legal relationship that they desired. If I were not married, I could give my brother or my best friend legal decisions or my medical care or finances should I become incompetent.
All western and probably most other nations have these kinds of legal instruments. No, it was never about marriage and it was never about love. The most intense study ever done on the population of homosexuals reveals that no more than about 2% of people are self-described, homosexuals. So, how does 2% of the population manage this? They wield this power because enough others are afraid to be called "bigots" and while they may not identify as "homosexual" they have had an experience with sodomy and are "bi-sexual" and some are blackmailed. It has happened because most people watch pornography and are chronic masturbators and their minds and reason have been poisoned by their own sexual perversions. They fear being called a hypocrite and they do not want to be judged for their own escapades with pornography, masturbation and massage parlours so they turn from the truth and allow license for everyone.
It was then and is about a fundamental hatred of the One Supreme God, the sacrificial offering of His Son and the intense hatred for His Church and by Church I mean, the Catholic Church as most protestants have long since apostatised from the Truth in the matter of marriage in addition to doctrine.
And it is the Catholic Church itself that has caused it all. Or perhaps I should say, it is the leadership of the Catholic Church, not the Church as the Mystical Body, but the leaders who have caused this abomination to happen to our nations. This lie has been given to us by Catholics.
In the decision yesterday in America, it was two Catholic Justices, Kennedy and Sotomayor, an Irishman and a Hispanic woman, both baptised and raised Catholic who did this. In fact, if only one of them was not blind to the Truth the vote would have been 5-4 in the other direction.
In Ireland, the bishops of that once Catholic land presided over the disaster of a referendum favouring this abomination of same-sex "marriage" looking at best as deer in headlights.
In Canada, we never had the chance to vote for it. It was forced upon us out of the blue by a Catholic Prime Minister who was a failure as a leader by the name of Paul Martin. There was no election mandate. The roots of it were already in place thanks to four other Catholic Prime Ministers, Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney, Joseph Clark and Pierre Elliot Trudeau. These men, contributed each to the weakening of the Parliamentary system and the constitutional framework unknown before in this country that gave us judicial activism. Martin wanted to act before the Supreme Court forced it. We the people had little choice but as Canadians, we just went along to get along.
You see then?
It was Catholics in Canada and the United States imbued with false understanding of the One, True, Faith and blinded by secularism, liberalism and dictatorship of relativism hat gave us this situation. It happened because bishops failed to teach the faith properly for the last have century or more. It happened because the destruction of the liturgy lead to weak Catholics. It drove people from Mass and the Sacraments and the priests failed to preach the Truth.
Last October, we saw the filth and lies of these same bishops put forward in a Synod of the Church that would literally anoint sodomy for the "gifts" it can bring to the Church. All under the eyes of Pope Francis himself.
The consciences of these parliamentarians, congressmen, senators, prime ministers, presidents, and supreme court judges; Catholics many of them, were ill-formed and darkened by a corrupted Church that has betrayed Our Lord Jesus Christ because the Church has been infiltrated by sodomites and Marxists who hate Her and wish to bring about Her destruction because the Catholic Church is the only thing that stands in their way of total world domination.
The push for this abomination began in Holland and Belgium and Canada soon followed. Yet the United States is the most culturally hegemonic nation in the world. The disaster of this decision will have profound affects on other nations that have not yet gone down this road.
The truth is that persons who are "homosexuals" have much wrong with them. Aside from the "sin which cries out to heaven" they die younger and will continue to do so - "marriage" will not change reality. They die from hideous diseases and younger than the rest of the population. Suicide rates, violence between "lovers" depression, drug-abuse, alcoholism, self-mutilation. All of these are higher by significant percentages compared to the general population. It is not alleged discrimination that causes these conditions, it is their physical behaviour and the untreated spiritual and psychological conditions that lead to the physical manifestations.
Anal cancer (with caution, you can google the pictures and see what sodomy can cause) is 50% higher than the normal. Parasites such as amoebiasis and giardiasis, gonorrhea and anal warts abound in the population. Anorectal sepsis, Epstein-Barr Syndrome, Burkitt's Lymphoma, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, Karposi's Sarcoma, Hepatitis, AIDS, Prostrate Cancer, colitis, enterities, proctitus, proctocolitus and diseases of the mouth which would cause horror to view.
All this, because the leaders of the Holy Catholic Church have and continue to fail to teach the truth with clarity and charity.
That all men and women are children of God made in His Divine image and are called to something greater.
That they are loved by the Triune God and the Father call them through the Holy Spirit to come to the Son, Our LORD Jesus Christ for salvation.
God does not will that they die in their sin and are lost in Hell. He wants them, as He wants all of us in heaven for eternity with Him.
If the Church does not proclaim the Truth with clarity, no Year of Mercy is going to save them.
God help us.
Jesus told us this would happen. We should not be surprised. Maybe this whole thing with the Blood Moons is real after all. I was hoping it wasn’t
Actually, the Catholic Church has become just another political arm of those in charge, thus destroying their right to preach morality.
One cannot blame the institution for the actions of those who go against the institution.
And if any Catholic on the USSC were to allow his Catholic faith to influence a decision with which many conservatives disagreed, those conservatives would be all over him for allowing his faith to influence his decision!
But Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas all are Catholic.
Why attack pro-marriage conservatives with a false accusation, to defend gay marriage voting Catholics?
The judges don't say that they are voting for, or against, Catholic doctrine do they?
Will those who trash the never-to-be-sufficiently damned Roamin' Caffliks say word one about them?
Oh, but they were. The same arguments were used here in the U.S.
We aren’t importing more Jewish voters by the 10s of millions, and they are not 23% of the population, and turning states blue.
Thanks for posting. This is an excellent article worth reading.
I wish writers would read what they wrote before publishing instead of relying on wordspell.
The Word is not fully preached out of fear of being called a bigot.
The people do not want to engage in the political discourse and/or refuse to see how politics impacts their lives.
The people want their ears tickled but not hear the complete Truth.
Good article/blog. Too many Catholics get defensive about this. They focus on the individual Catholics in the decision rather than the big picture. Catholics need to see the big picture here. What happened in DC is part of a larger issue: that most of the Catholic hierarchy isn’t Catholic. We are in the midst of the Great Apostasy...which began in 1965.
This is stupid. Mod, are you really going to let this kind of garbage stand?
Why is this garbage? And why should it be deleted?
Good article. Thanks.

that little snippet falls distinctly into the category of ‘Wish I’d thought of something like that...’

you really need to change your drumbeat a bit, and start blaming the real factor for the blueing of America...females...particularly females of any cultural stripe, including Protestants, in the age group 18-45...
and you know what, that’s only going to get worse, as our society seems intent on empowering girls from cradle to voting booth...
I wish writers would read what they wrote before publishing instead of relying on wordspell.
yes, but many people suffering prostate cancer are in fact prostrate...
like my wise ass buddy in the fifth grade used to sing at church ‘let angels prostate fall...’
This is stupid. Mod, are you really going to let this kind of garbage stand?
you have a curious notion of garbage, indeed...this seems, to my apparently untidy mind, quite a succinct summation of an unfortunate situation...
