CONTINUED FROM MY POST ABOVE. God bless you all.
Again, a same-gender sexual act is a sinful act whether it has been legalized or not. And it has now been legalized, with the Supreme Court striking down the sodomy laws. To say that this is merely and issue of another person’s religious freedom is not correct. We are ALL obligated to obey the Natural Laws, or to REPENT when we have broken them, Catholic or not. But to take it farther, and enshrine the breaking of those laws INTO LAW as a “right” is a particularly heinous and wicked, diabolical thing to do. We cannot vote for such people as support these things without incurring, ourselves, great guilt before God.
The ONLY time we could do that, would be to prevent a greater evil. Let’s say that the proAbortion candidate was not for the Mass-Murder of blacks and Latinos, but the
ANTI-abortion candidate was a monster like Hitler who openly advocated exterminating all the racial minorities in America. In THAT case, we would not dare vote for the “antiAbortion” candidate, even though his “antiAbortion” stance is the right stance, because his OTHER stance, the advocacy of mass-genocide, would be even worse.
In this kind of case, we would not be voting “FOR” the proAbort, but voting AGAINST the
racist genocidal maniac, a regrettable lesser-of-two-evils dilemma that we dare not shirk from.
The Republicans, as draconian as their fiscal policies are, are NOT OUT to massacre any minorities or any such nonsense. And it CAN be argued, re the health care and other otherwise good issues supported by the dems, that people who KNOWINGLY ENDORSE legal abortion, legal sodomy, paying for abortion with YOUR AND MY tax dollars, are supporting the mass-killings of babies and therefore DO NOT DESERVE
to have quality health care, quality free education, good unemployment benefits, or any of those other good things, because when people openly advocate wickedness, we are brininging upon ourselves punishments, not earning blessings such as good social programs. And our horrendous tolerance of the mass child killing that has been going on since 1973, may be one reason that God has allowed America to become 15 TRILLION dollars in Debt, and ALLOWED 70% of Catholics to decide for themselves that mortal sins are, in fact, not mortal sins, and that they have the right to dissent from the church, disobey her infallible moral teachings without repentance, revolt against her ordination of only men to the priesthood (even AFTER the pope spoke with finality and full apostolic authority on this very issue). These Catholics, since no punishments have yet fallen upon them for such open dissent, actually feel (and have expressed such feelings in writing, such as in letters to the editor of dissident magazines like US CATHOLIC) that the HOLY SPIRIT is behind their dissent and that the HOLY SPIRIT is the force behind the pro-gay-marriage movement, and behind Dignity and New Ways and other sin-endorsing ministries that the church has condemned. They do not realize what a horrifying state they are in, when they can actually make such statements about the Holy Spirit and actually BELIEVE what they are saying. God CHASTENS those he loves and is saving, when they sin or head into apostasy, to turn them around so they won’t be lost.
When we see people apostasizing, and prospering, and becoming even more and more bold in their disobedient dissent (which they euphemistically refer to as “liberalism” instead of “infidelity,” which it actually is), we should be very, very frightened for their souls, because prosperity when practicing great sinfulness and defiance, is NOT a sign of Divine Blessing, but of Reprobation: i.e., God is letting them, LETTING THEM without interfering or disciplining them to get them to repent, Harden Their Hearts like Pharoah did when Moses kept warning him to LET GOD’S PEOPLE (Israel) GO. He wouldn’t listen, warning after warning, sign after sign, and remained the proseprous, arrogant king, until God, suddenly and unexpectedly, drowned HIM and HIS WHOLE MILITARY FORCE, in the closing-waters of the Sea. God could have done more than send frogs and other signs to scare him. He could have made it more personal: he could have, right from the start, had an Angel appear to Pharoah, in His name, and literally beat some sense into him, which might have caused Pharoah to repent, but God did not do that. He let Pharoah harden his heart beyond all possibility of repentance, while prosperous.
He will, and apparently is doing, the same thing to disobedient Catholics and other Christians, today. Reprobating them and letting them prosper in their deliberate defiance.
And don’t make the mistake of pointing to the soup kitchens, clothing drives, orphanages and other (Genuinely) good deeds of the dissidents as proof that they remain in Jesus’s favor. That’s not proof and good deeds like that, though GOOD, are not enough.
There are many, Christ PROMISED, who will say to him on the Last Day, BUT LORD, LORD, did we NOT do this, that, and the other, and many OTHER powerful works in your name??? And he says he will say to them: I never knew you: GET AWAY FROM ME, you workers of Lawlessness.
What is lawlessness? SIN is lawlessness, and lawlessness is SIN.
The proAborts and other DISSENTES and advocates of Sin are advocating Lawlessness.
It’s wonderful to operate ministries to the poor and elderly and homeless. If done in a spirit of obedience and penance, they are “mitzvahs”, good deeds that having saving grace attached to them. But when done to salve one’s conscience or to cover for UNrepentantly advocating Sin, then they have no value before the Lord.
