How is it that I keep finding myself writing mini editorials and reflections especially with regard to our current culture 'shift' that is steadily underway? The secularist alliance with Islam and the political 'left' have whipped up a subjectivist mentality, and modern man drinks this stuff by the gallon. We are to tolerate all,..except one thing,..Christianity. I guess its fitting, because Jesus caused such political unrest...So why now? Why this utter assault upon anything remotely Christian while everything else is off limits...Why? Because Christianity, The Catholic Church is the one true Faith, and let's face it, the only obstacle to satan.
Within Salvation history, we know satan has been defeated in Eternity. The Passion, Death and Ressurection of Jesus redeemed humanity from the clutches of death. In time, however, satan wishes to take as many souls with him as he can. His tools of choice? 'Political correctness,' So called 'Feminism' and the 'Social Justice' marxist movement. Too many Catholics are asleep at the wheel and forget that our Faith calls us to witness to the Truth. Either that, or they have become incredibly secularized to the point that their 'Catholic' identification is more cultural and less of a true relationship with God.
How did we get to this point? At one time or another, most of us who have experienced a conversion (ongoing) felt as if we had all the answers!,..Well right now it would seem,..we (or I anyway) are trying to find all the right questions instead. God creates us in His image, we do not create God in ours. Socio Political issues (their words..) such as abortion are wrong, not because they go against a discerned Catholic dogma, but because they go against the very Divine Law itself. (5th Commandment,..'Though Shall Not Kill'). This issue seems to be a no-brainer for the greatest thinkers of our time,..yet we still have the pro-'choice' crowd. An issue, seeking to murky the waters by aligning it to 'women's rights.' What if in the name of 'women's rights' we decided that Blacks or Jews can be killed instead of babies? We need to seriously ponder this reality. If a society can kill babies, we are capable of any other evil. As Catholics we cannot be complicit with evil.
Since birth we are conditioned to put 'man' first and God second. So is it any wonder why we are now in the State we are in? The 1960s saw the sexual revolution complete with its demonic agent of birth control. 'Humanae Vitae' was ignored, and behold a shrinking population so bad we won't be able to sustain our retirees in a few years. I drank the Kool Aid of casual sex as did most of my generation, I am now trying by the grace of God to undo all these habits, and believe me, there are times when storms gather that I need a good jog at 3am,..while clutching my Rosary. I have already accepted the idea that the next generation will live in a completely different world. A world whereby the population is overwhelmingly muslim. This is not a cryptic prediction, but an upcoming reality. Have we become so desensitized to the point where even within the Ecumenical 'dialogues' that we have with other 'Christian' brethren, we have become afraid to tell them the truth? My friends, ecumenism is set up to help bring our separated brethren home! While yes, it must start with coffee and getting to know each other,..but we've had nearly 60 years of that,..we need to take action. The Catholic Church is not one denomination among many, She is the Church of Christ which subsists in Her! That is not me,..that is what Vatican II states!
The danger with any heresy is that it mixes itself up with 'good,' and both plays to our ego and what is conveniant. The adherents of the so-called 'social jstice crowd fit this bill. Authentic Catholic social justice has at its heart the dignity of man. It must start in the womb. We must be free to love and through our love imitate Jesus by feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. However when it becomes the primary forced issue, it leaves out the salvific one. We forget that we are a pilgrim people and that Heaven, communion with God is our true home. Christianity is not conveniant. Christ came to die so that man could be redeemed. We must take up our Cross and follow Him, yes, even if it means to death. I have included then Cardinal Ratzinger's homily from 2005,. (see here ). The world is changing,..Islam will dominate, the population will shrink, economies are starting to collapse, abortion is on demand, being pro Traditional Marriage is seen as being 'intolerant.' As Christians we are called to Love,..we must be tolerant of people, that doesn't mean we must tolerate their ideologies.
