Anyone else sick of hearing about how people who are profamily and promarriage are going to be viewed in a similar light as slave owners in about 100 years or sooner? I mean really, who said “progress” or “progressive ideas” are always truly a progression?

So here’s my startup list of failed “progressive” ideas:

Socialism
Communism
Eugenics
Enlightened Despotism
Divine Right of Kings
Radical Individualism

Feel free to add on. 🙂

Abortion!

I’m currently having a debate with one of my friends on Facebook. He claims that the family is ‘what we make it to be’ and just ‘an abstract concept’ and every one of us should decide what the family is to him/her.

I am shocked - the moral relativism that has been present in society for many decades has gone completely out of hand.

People who, like us, believe there is a God-given natural law that should give us guidelines on how to live our lives are labelled ‘medieval’ ‘backward’ and - most of all - ‘extremist’, ‘intolerant’.
Obviously they are the intolerant ones given that they can’t possibly put up with our opinions. Comparing us to slaveowners is of course the worst kind of label they can put on us.

It seems that the West’s moral backbone is eroding fast and the consequences will be many. Anyone remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah?

We need to pray for their conversion.

I think I am starting a thread right now for this.
 
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

-C. S. Lewis
 
I agree, I find it very ridiculous.

That’s why when someone says that interracial marriages have gained acceptance so why not SSM…I don’t even listen to the rest of his argument because I consider it weak.
 
These are things that will happen, and we really cannot stop it. According to many theologians and others of knowledge of prophesy, we are in the beginning stages of the end of times as predicted in the Bible.

Christian unity and strength will be necessary to fight the Good Fight to overthrow Satan’s plan. God is depending on us to do just that. So, I tell you not to worry so much about these things, but give these issues to God, for He will take care of us, His children, His Church.

Stay true in your faith, and devoted in your heart, soul, and mind to Christ our Lord and Savior. God built His Church on a rock; Satan’s church will be on a foundation of shifting sand (an analogy).

May your spirit be lifted to the highest of highs by the Holy Spirit which lives within you.
May you not waver in your faith, nor doubt God’s almighty plan.
May you be comforted by God’s endless love, grace, and mercy.
May you be blessed by God in every aspect of your life.
May your prayers be heard by God, and answered swiftly.
May you be blessed by the sacrement of the Holy Eucharist.
May you be comforted by the love of your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

May God bless you and keep you safe in His loving arms today and for the rest of your life.

Protestantism and atheists are destroying the fabric of the western civilization. The atheists are easy, but they are not always easy to detect when they self-identify with non-Christian people. The atheists rally the non-Christians for ask for more secularism in society to combat “feeling left out” during Christmas and Easter. Which is why now Christmas Break and Easter Break are now called Winter Break and Spring Break in schools.

The Protestants also make things worse by having so many different denomination and introducing many different points of views. When one person doesn’t agree with The Church or a Protestant sect, they start a new one or join one that agrees with their point of view. I walked by a Christian student association on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania the other day. The association is located in an old Church and they have a rainbow flag flying from it (being pro Gay Marriage). Sometimes choices are good, but other times no.

If the Protestant dominated “west” doesn’t wake up and see that they are enabling the Atheists by continuing the divide Christians then society will fully degrade.

When Obama, our first black President, was elected the first time, and then again a second time, so many people were very upset, not just because of his race, but also because of his stance on important issues. After all, he did not win by a landslide. However, as I told many, this is all God’s Will, and we are just going to have to do everything that we can to save as many souls as we can before the Anti-Christ forms his church on earth.

No one was ‘upset’ about his race except the professional race-baiters.

It may be possible that people disliked and continue to dislike his policies.

These Protestants, I believe, form their own ‘pro-gay marriage’ or whatnot churches solely because they are unable and/or unwilling to submit to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Of course, it is much easier to be part of a Christian community that does not condemn sexual activity outside marriage or similar acts condemned by the Church. We as Catholics fight extremely tough battles every day against sin and temptation, but what we get out of it is much more beneficial to ourselves both spiritually and mentally. This is why I’m a Catholic.

Striving for holiness requires self-sacrifice, failings, and pain, but it is better do that than live in denial and believe that Christ, if present in person today, would condone gay marriage and premarital sex. I hardly believe these people believe Christ would do so themselves.
 
Yes, I am sick of it. It goes along the same line as being told that I am racist because I didn’t vote for Obama.

You are absolutely right. However, I still hear people hating him simply because he is black, AND hating his policies.

The ones who continue the racist hatred are the ones I pray for diligently, that they can overcome their prejudisms and accept all races as equal.

No one is going to agree with ALL of the policies of one candidate. One should back the one they agree with the most.

Nonetheless, they are ALL politicians… who, sadly, have mandates of their own.

We, as Americans, can only do so much to change Washington, and that is by making sure our candidates have true and moral standings on important issues, and are not swayed by lobbiests and private endorsements.

A few very short years ago I would have called you a loon…:(:eek:

According to Pope Benedict, who addressed it twice, we are not in the end times, or the beginning of the end times. As someone who associated with Charismatic Christians in the late 1970s, the beginning of the end times had started then. Not so.

Peace,

Oh but we are. Not how most people think of it (the world will end in exactly 3 days 3 hrs and 12 minutes!!!), but it was inaugurated with the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We are in “the last days” of God’s salvation history, and potentially of our universe too if God waited 14 billion years to become Incarnate.

What bothers me about atheists is the fact that they celebrate the “Winter Solstice” which is a day in December. Okay fine. But they still celebrate the holiday season by putting up a Christmas tree. They exchange gifts, decorate their homes in Christmas decor, attend ice skating, hot chocolate and cookie events, attend their children’s Christmas plays, drive around to see the Christmas lights, attend Christmas parties, etc. This really bugs me. If they are so ANTI-Christian I would think they would refrain from CHRISTmas events. Just my humble opinion. :mad:

I didn’t vote for him because he is half white. Can’t stand those white presidents. None of them ever seem to do things the way I would.

Conversely, if Christians were so anti-pagan then they would refrain from engaging in pagan traditions. 😉

You have listed a number of rather disparate ideas. You do realize that radical individualism would be the opposite of socialism and communism?

You do realize that all three of them have been considered “liberal” at one time or another? In fact crowning achievements of being “progressive” in their day and age?

That’s not to say that I wholeheartedly endorse conservatism. I could make a thread about being sick of failed conservative ideologies. The problem is what is constantly in our faces from society is about how we are against “progress”, hence why I started this thread about progressivism and not conservatism.
