Few years ago I was invited to a dinner banquet held by one of those illustrious petro dollars sheikhs . There was a kid there , in his middle teens , behaved in an unseemly manner , effeminate . afterwards one of the Europeans who attend the event approached me asked me what was that all about . I told him that was the sheikh’s tayer. Tayer? What is tayer ? he asked . I told him bird. Tayer means bird. How do you mean bird ,he asked ? bird , you know bird , I replied .

They have very popular song there in Arabia that goes oh bird oh bird … Never mind .
Frankly it seems to me the west is grabbling with this homosexuality business because it’s a relatively new thing for you . the sexual deviancy is rare among the Christians of animist background but we know a whole lot about it. Further north Africa homosexuals ruled part of the Muslim world for centuries until Napoleon Bonaparte came and slaughtered a considerable number of them . they scattered around . some settled not far from where the animists cattle herders are at . then they started that al qeda , Islamic state gimmick with Napoleon. He sent them one of his commanders who slaughtered them all . that stuff doesn’t work with the likes of Napoleon ,not when you consider how he started his career . he used canons to break up French rioters .

the the British came and Napoleon had to leave . the recent history of this part of the world would have been very different otherwise I suspect .

The British colonials brought with them Christianity brand of suppression of sexuality which served the west well and which historians argue convincingly is behind the progress of the west . right now we are trying to pass that suppression to the Christians of animists background in the city . in the bush and grass land sexual suppression is built in. man has to come up with a of few hundred cows as dowry for the woman . he has to work hard to get the cows . when the boy is around 14 his father sells a bull and buys him a Chinese version of the Kalashnikov . go my son and get cows so you may get you a good fertile woman. . the bullet rotates on its axis and when it hits it snaps the bones .but in the city you can’t do that . we have to do bonding on basis of love . its amusing to watch. We stand them in the square , whole lot of them . its love season . each young boy stand facing the girl not closer than meter if you please . They talk . the girl tries she can’t get one guy she moves to the next .the girls pick the boys are macho . they are not going to lower themselves. They stand there expecting the girl to come to them .dummy doesn’t know he was picked because she couldn’t pick the other guy , the guy she liked better .but the young man still has to pay . by installment of course. He misses a payment we come and take his wife and his kids . he resumes payment we give her back to him and his kids . there is a threshold though. Some boys don’t get picked . the girls just don’t want them.i tell you love is a problem .

In the Muslim north homosexuals manage the houses of ill repute .they’re there to protect the women . one of them knocked out three army officers by himself . it’s no wonder homosexuals ruled for centuries .

In my business , homosexuals posed no issue in the manufacturing part of the business . few issues now and then but the ex cop whom I delegated the responsibility to handled it . usually though he interfered to protect the heterosexuals from the homosexuals and not the other way around . homosexuals tended to stick up for each other . their relationship with the women gave them an advantage over the heterosexual. They used each other to get back at or get over on the heterosexuals . also homosexuals appealed to the women senses in terms of love .homoseuxla madly in love with anotehr homosexual sort of thing . its not about sexual deviancy but rather love they say to the woman .

In the other parts of the business no homosexuals policy . the work involved commissions and pay was related to performance .the work stressful and unpredictable . throwing a homosexual in the mix would have created chaos .the heterosexual operate on the basis f unwritten rules . certain borders you do not cross and lines you do not step over else things get deadly . equally there is sense of macho self worth involved . certain dirty tactics are out of the question because they contradicted being macho .one time there was one of those hidden homosexuals, the closet homosexuals that you do not know . he caused me so much trouble . the heterosexuals started fighting with each other . it took me a while to figure out the problem .he didn’t mean to mind you. that’s how he is . I had to separate him from the rest . he had to work alone with two women . he made me good money and that’s all I cared about back then of course . .
 
The MSM is anti-catholic to the core. And they’re still burying the pro-Catholic stuff.
Not sure what sure what you mean by MSM. Are you talking about MSNBC? Sorry, I am not up to speed. I googled it and didn’t come up with much. Can you explain?

He probably means “Main Stream Media” which is generally inclusive of CNN, Reuters, MSNBC, etc.
 
How sad that the OP’s post on frustration with evangelization has devolved into yet another fruitless squabble about homosexuals and "the media’s " big bad agenda.
 
Well , what can you do ? the OP raises headache causing issues . it could be so and then it might not be . so you wait for the OP to show up to guide the discussion but …

People profess faith in Catholicism but do not seem to abide by its principles . they call themselves catholic .apparently their conduct/politics/sympathies do not seem to accord with the precepts of the faith? what does it mean to be catholic ? .can one be a catholic that way and and and .

School and sex thrown in the mix . why do we send our kids to school? What do we desire that they learn at school? What are we willing to expose them to ? what is the aim of it all? Get the school diploma? Why? Go to college ? why ? get a job? Why ? have decent life ? what life ? pleasure no pain life ? good life ? what is good life ? and and and

The OP solution seems reasonable. Don’t want to become a basketball case .apeal of sanity .catholic and want to stay catholic. but not that catholic . don’t even recognize that other catholic .withdraw to community of like minded Catholics . not a bad idea to be sure . but OP is bothered by it. Why? Obviously by the same logic thieves join a community of thieves . murderers join with murderess.

And there is the question of whether it is possible in the first place, of wether his solution is possible. You live in a republic with rules . he has to finish school. worse of it there is no place to hide/run. It haunts him mentally …

Homosexual teacher . what is sex ? At minimum you need to bring in an expert in sexuality to bear.

seems everything and anything goes for sex these days . did you see that movie planet of the Apes ? the guy kissed the chimpanzee female . . chimpanzee lady very vulnerable .she can’t swim. she clang to his back . very romatic. she can leap so high and she beat up the enemy . can serve as body guard too…she has make up on I think. I took a glance at my grand kids as they watched . who got this movie I asked ? and how about Wilson? Kids love soccer here in Africa. the movie outcaste . he drew face on the soccer ball. He tossed the soccer ball out the cave and then he was so sorry , so sooory, ran out screaming and wailing Wilson Wilson . he finds Wilson . he hugs Wilson. Never again he says . they got the guy romantically involved with a soccer ball. Soccer ball sexuality . its no wonder the OP threw in the towel.

Goo luck with trying to come up with guiding principle .I’m old …I’m glad. Ya’ll have fun trying to come up with one . but you do have my sympathy. the world was a much simpler place when i was young . or was it? i don’t know . you’re young you find the answers . I sit and i watch .before i used to think. now i don’t . I ask
 
I wasn’t talking to you when I said good luck finding the principle. I was talking to them. Bring me the evidence that the homosexuality of a homosexual teacher is not going to screw up my grand kids minds anymore than you’re already screwed up by movies like planet of the Apes .

Some of the stuff I do is certainly not catholic . The end does not automatically justify the means . but what can you do when the other side doesn’t play fair , when the field is not level ? then we talk just war . then we talk collateral damage . only difference it’s a war not fought with guns .homosexual teacher takes his homosexuality and go live it someplace else, not in catholic school .end of story.

Today where I’m at we get our birth certificates from the church , same for death certificates, marriage certificates, etc. we’ve issues we go to non Muslims family court where church canon applies .It’s between us and the church. And btw the church is very accommodating . infact if anything the Catholic church is too soft we think. Sometimes we have to step in to remedy the church softness. Forget about no divorce. If your wife leaves and goes with another man and bears him children those children are yours .they’re not his kids. They are your kids. How can they be his kids when she is your wife ? you go and take those kids . they are yours. but Western NGO’s and concerns do not recognize church certificates they say. They want a State birth certificate. They want to shove the State down our throats .

Sex. I have this feeling we know more about sex than you. we know that the young men are at their sexual peak in their late teens . we know the woman gets that way when she is in her 30s. we know the man is not equal to the woman sexually. The woman is sexually superior to the man. .The Lord equipped us sexually to overcome the harsh elements , scarce resources, rampant diseases , violence ,etc. the statistics here are something like …the woman has to copulate over 300 times to get pregnant. This is the average across the board . it’s probably the same where you are at. you need a healthy male ,mentally and physically sound for a woman and you hope that he can keep it together .

.I could tell you more, but you see the point. What has that got to do with what homosexuals do? Do not call what they do sex then.

Looks like Nietzsche should have said super woman , not super man , right?.
Nietzsche is an entertainer -for his generation back in the day that is and if you like that sort of thing. he is not someone you take seriously . he is something of the order of rave and rant theatrical entertainer .some might call him a backstabber having borrowed stuff from the bible and then turned around and used it to trash Christianity.

Christians always squabbled . check how the Saint addressed the issue . Galatians chapter 5 . it’s good . you’ll like it .

You know we really don’t have to think. . they did\ that for us . We got the master piece that answers the issues at our disposal. The Catechism. Amazing work. Inspired product of great minds. Did you know that some people say that St Aquinas is one of the smartest if not the smartest man that has ever lived .those people who said that were intellectually accomplished themselves . I would check conscience and the virtues as guide for my conduct .

Now that people moved into the city from the grass lands where life was much simpler we have to figure ways to address city issues .the Catechism has the right answers . but the student for that book has to be prepared and of the right sort of nature in order for the instruction to be accessible to him mentally. kid goes to Catholic school ,parish compound, home and that’s it . We’re minority here … we can’t afford to lose our kids
 
=JackVk;12881368]Today on Facebook, a girl I know (who claims to be Catholic) shared a Change.org petition directed at a Catholic school, ordering it to keep an actively gay teacher employed. I said nothing to her, but all I wanted to write in the combox was “f**k you”.
I’ve gotten so sick and tired of trying to save a world that does not want to be saved. I have long since abandoned all hope that we will ever win the culture wars. So I’m done trying; it’s time we Catholics follow St. Peter’s order to “flee this wicked generation”; from the looks of it, there is nothing to save in our culture.
I’ve had this attitude for a long time, and on a whole host of things, to politics and intra-Church business to my school and work life. I’ve just had enough of everything, drawing an quartering me, invading my every waking moment and demanding my absolute attention. The pressure is making my bitter, cynical, and even misanthropic.
I just want to be left alone. But why do I feel like that is wrong? I highly doubt God wants me to become a basket case.
So FRIEND,

Did Christ WANT to suffer?
NO!

But He did anyway. WHY?

WWJD? What WOULD Jesus do [actually what DID JESUS Do?

So are we to exempt from suffering?🤷

Matthew 5:44
“But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you”

Luke 9: 23-25 "23] And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [24] For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it. [25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?

God Bless you,

Pray much!

Patrick
 
Frankly the ones who are suffering are us . our OP washes his hands from the world without giving us so much as week’s notice. We feel abandoned , left all alone to fend for ourselves . .

Galatians is there to show where Nietzsche got some of his stuff .

WWJD . Nietzsche attempted to vilify Jesus all the way down to the status of a child and did say that man is not the measure of thing .

It doesn’t make sense . the person is upset with the catholic girl because she sided with homosexual teacher while he is advertising for Nietzsche. Hard to figure out kids .
Instead of WWJD I would pick :”for this I was born to bear witness …” . that is more applicable. 8 month of combat or thereabout before troop morale has dropped to such low levels you have to relieve them .

Jesus . Jesus. Jesus . Son of god . Top of the heap . Cream of the crop . He will dazzle you and what’s more? that’s precisely why he is there for .

I think Frank Sinatra would have made gold record out of that .what do you think?

Young men are like that . they are not focused .they ‘re rebellious .discipline issues. the many times I had to evangelize to them in no uncertain terms. … I say to them you have become like the target for shooting . you’re attacked but you do not attack. You’re invaded but you do not invade .I tell you to come for the enemy is upon us and you say wait till the rainy season ends. I tell you the rain has stopped and you say wait till the heat subsidizes. All that fleeing from the rain and from the heat , if you flee from the rain and you flee from the heat then you flee faster from the gun. You are the look alike of men but are not men. The dream of infants and the brains of the wearers of jewelry . you fill my heart with anger and you make me breath the defeatism you exhale. I wish I haven’t known you , a knowledge that have brought me nothing but sorrow and regret .But the opinion of a man who is not obeyed count for nothing .then the young men are ashamed and they grab their weapons and assemble . then I really evangelize … love your neighbor by putting him out of his misery. Bless him by dispatching him to paradise to the 70 virgins. Turn the other cheek, , that means turn the evil cheek. The Lord of hosts is the commander in chief till further notice. I like to evangelize .I always have , ever since I can remember .
 
Reexamine his holiness words carefully . connect the points .

Takes me from three months to six , one day a week , to come up with the sort of team/teams necessary . with my files the person has to answer onward of a hundred questions . questions designed to know as much as possible about the person and anyone connected with him . many of the people here are illiterate so you do it for them .the files are your property . responsibility lies with you the church is welcome to access them . they did the main work . The people are already Catholics.

Members should be able to tell each other . something inconspicuous. Down here folks have tribal markings on their foreheads or side of face maybe try watches , rings ,etc .coded gestures / sign language handy in public . generally one should be able to tell who is catholic .one of the main aims of your team is to teach /inculcate solidarity Solidarity Solidarity.

The islamist maintain that it takes them 25 years to come up with a different generation that meet their prerogatives . behavioral engineering . I do not approve of their methods .They use coercion to make them conform . but people are also creatures of habit . some of the stuff becomes habit . this is an important point. People get used to things . a lot of the stuff they do is from habit not conviction. not rooted in a sound principle. Catholicism uses principle . I forget the Latin terms for it but its something something emeritus in terms of what is proper attire .but with them its part habit and the other part enforced conformity . weakness .its long story but you should look and educate yourself . knowledge is another major aim for your team .strategy , theories on them from the various applicable fields . determine their and your weaknesses and your strength. .knowledge knowledge knowledge.

preaching . there are priests and nuns .They are good at it .they’re professionals .you bring the people to them . just practice what you need to get them to the clergy .that’s what I do anyways . if I want something done I never tell the clergy I want this and that done . I work t so it come it comes from them. Do t in such way they suggest the idea.

I like America .in America you can carry a gun . I go there now and then for a visit .combat training is good .do not rely on others to protect you . there are only three often times for you. Jesus ,you and your gun. Kenya recently four gun men killed 140 Christians , young men and girls, students. Down here a bunch of Christian young men from animist hunter warrior background wrestled the guns from soldiers from the other side and did away with 33 of them including their officer . only 3 of the young men got killed . teach your kids how to defend themselves. Teach them non violence and to cherish and respect life and teach them how to defend themselves and their fellow brothers and sisters when necessary. The world is a dangerous place .

Funds . fund raising .stay away from the congregation money. It belong to the parish . you get your funds from somewhere else .you raise the funds from sources not in your congregation and when you do you give the parish a cut . you need to operate as something of welfare dispenser .vitally important . do that and people will vote against the homosexual teacher .do that and you can get homosexuals to vote against themselves .

be careful though . money is the source of evil. It corrupts .it causes division and strife . I have no problem handling it because I use as little of it as possible . I keep the need for money at minimum. I can feed upwards of a hundred people for as little as ten US dollars . I get something of a kick stopping by this big time NGO .they sit idle. they ran out of money . their budget was three million Euros . I drive my SUPC ( sport utility push cart) into their yard and I tell them to go get their boss I want to talk to him. Lately however they see me coming they close the gate . open up and let me in I tell them . I want to say hi to your boss . MY SPUC is full of food . of course . they look at the food . I tell them , its alright they can come to the parish and have some . they do come . wait before we eat we usually do ten hail Mary’s , ten lord prayer ,etc . I can if I want order a brand new SUV for myself but I’m a simple man who likes to lead a simple life .i wear the same clothes till they are worn out before I replace them . I do a project at the parish . I empower them. I show them how to do it . if you can operate without money it is better . all those NGOs we do not need them here in Africa. we can do without many of them . a little money goes farther than a whole lot . people have to continue with the project after I leave . they have to learn to do for themselves. they don’t have much money to spare .

All this shouldn’t really take too much of your time if you know what you’re doing . work on it . with time you get better …Teach your kids . The virtues are taught early in life .
 
OP, we can’t save this culture. It’s heading down a dark, dangerous road. The part that bugs me the most is that today’s society labels this road as a path of love and compassion. I’ve had similar thoughts, that society is too far gone, and there’s nothing we can do about it. But we can do something!! Maybe we’re just trying to do too much!

Christ does the saving, and we can help bring people to His light. We can pray, and we can talk to individuals. We can’t, as individuals, bring a stop to the wrongs of the world. But if we can help stop even one person from walking that path, isn’t that worth any effort we put in?

Please don’t give up. What you wrote makes it obvious that you care about people, and that you want all of society to come to know His love. Well, let’s work towards that goal, one person at a time. The people in the world that promote anti-Christian behavior want you to react with an “Eff you!” That way, they can point at you and say, “Look how he treats people. Is this an example of God’s love?” If you respond patiently, honestly, and lovingly, you probably won’t convince many people to change their opinions and join God’s side. But you might help to convince one or two, and that is an awesome victory.

I’ll be praying for you, and I ask that you please pray for me, as well as all Christians that feel the same as we do.
 
So much judgement of others here… maybe if that stopped… Jesus said that for a reason. Your lifestyle is your choice, I live as a solitary, for many reasons, mainly health issues that were being misunderstood and wrongly treated, and I am well over 70. But I have not abandoned the needy world by any means and never will. I work at hand crafts and one day a week sell at street markets and craft fairs, the money going to family overseas working with abandoned babies ( in Nepal; no word yet please pray). A I make rosaries I get all kinds of comments and have learned not to judge and to be loving and gentle. BIG NEWSl we are in this world to give and love. That is what Jesus did and does. I do not speak of faith unless I am asked. Hoping my love shows through my caring and being there. But to condemn a whole world?
 
Nepal . earth quake in the news . terrible loss … 4000 perished last count …

My condolences and prayers .

How many rosaries do you sell on average every week ? the proceeds of how many do you donate ?

it’s in the nature of things that at any given time the majority of the herd grazes pointing in the same direction . Moreover when the herd is under attack the best bulls are in the middle flanked by the cows and lesser bulls . The herd protects the top bulls. When the herd fails to perform as expected its understandable complaints occur followed by withdrawals . but you start killing the top bulls then it’s a different ball games . then the top of the herd take on the world . take on the world is the business of the cream of the crop while others plot and plan what they will do when they become man .but i could be wrong .

Alice Auma of DR Congo , also known as Alice Lakwena , said the spirit told her that it does not pay to cure a man only to see him get killed . she formed an army to stop the killings. . Chasteness , no smoking , no drinking she ordered . With sticks and stones and bibles and singing hymns her army in crucifix formation charged opposing forces armed with guns . she scored some outstanding victories . she then had her army march towards the capital for the final battle . but her army was routed . she knew all about the herd but her military tactics needed some vital modification for that battle . they used artillery and rockets to tear up her order of battle . Joseph Kony emerged from the after mass. He works strictly for Satan however. .The Americans , three different countries have been trying to get him but with no success .

I know two of those whom in the west are called warlords .both are illiterates . people often wonder how can uneducated simple person Alice and illiterates warlords guide and command armies with commanders with college degrees and what have you and do so successfully . the answer is very simple. They’re expert herdsmen.

It is no accident that the almighty chose Abraham . It is no an accident that Jesus chose St Peter . you are very wrong about St Peter .

Before a man can say he washes his hand from the world he has to take on the world first and having taken the world and proved his metal he can say I withdraw . forget about guys ,lets just talk about women . A Nubian woman upon seeing her man being cut down on the battlefield rushed in and grabbed his weapon and wreaked havoc on the opposing side . her own baby tied to her back .many more .

You should listen to “Brother Joe’s Lord Jesus Hour” on WWCR. It’s a shortwave program but if you have Internet you can stream it. It’s on Friday, Sunday and Monday nights, always at 7 PM Eastern. There’s a log of chaff to sift through, but there is good wheat. He ties in present calamities with the sinfulness of the USA (which he calls “United Sodomites of America”) and the world at large. He points out how the terrible drought that California is suffering stems from the wickedness (porn, homosexuality) that California is notorious for. He also opines that the earthquake in Nepal was provoked by the idolatry (Buddhism)
of the Nepalese people, Maybe the show is not for everyone, but it’s worth a listen or two.
 
The MSM is anti-catholic to the core. And they’re still burying the pro-Catholic stuff.
Have to disagree with you here Bob! The MSM and Western Catholics do agree with each other, who they don’t agree with is the Magestarium. Sometimes we need to remember that the “real” manner in which everyday Catholics live and the truths that they believe in are not strictly those taught by the Church especially, when it concerns social issues such as divorce, annulment, LGBTQ equal protection and most often, contraception. Are there Catholics who follow every dogma without question? Of course there are, and these Holy individuals are to be admired; however, most of us in the pews do question and research dogmas that make little or no sense to us. It’s so odd to be called an heretic because one believes that ABC is not a sin. I could understand it if a person indicates that they do not believe in transubstantiation or the trinity and are called heretical, but there are millions of Catholics who are in this situation.🤷
 
I forgot my main point! Those who want to “wash their hands of this world” are those we need to stay invested since they have the passion to help change occur!🙂

What a great example you are!

Falling into the trap of judgement, and focusing on the imperfections of others is a mistake.

We know the secular world separates itself from God. However, that does not mean we “play God” and go around condemning people and forgetting the whole foundation of Christianity which is to love God and neighbor.

There are things in the world I don’t understand, and homosexuality is one of them. We have gay friends and we just accept them as people. They don’t ask us about our sexual practice and vice versa.

Strangely, once a nice straight healthcare worker made an error that endangered a family member. I credit the professional diligence of a gay healthcare worker with saving the day.

The movie, “The Imitation Game”, is about the life of the founder of the computer, Allan Turing, who rose to the occasion in a time of need and became one of the key people who stopped Hitler.

Allan Turing was driven to suicide by people who thought their duty was to judge others. So they judged and hated on one of the greatest heros of the 20th Century, who never sought any reward or recognition for his service.

Allan Turing rose to the occasion and helped stop the greatest monster in history. Allan Turing was gay. Hitler was a monster who tried to cover up his murderous plans by hating on a defenseless group of Jewish people.

It is interesting how people who hate on others don’t spend much time worrying about the imperfections of the strong. I wonder how many people who hate on gays never say a word about groups that go around cutting off people’s heads.

It is easy and cowardly to hate on people who can’t or won’t hurt you.

If you want to hate on someone, hate on haters.

Or be like Rosebud and don’t hate on anyone, and just find somewhere where you can make a hurting person hurt less.

Falling into the trap of judgement, and focusing on the imperfections of others is a mistake. That is a path that will drain you, and make you want to “give up on the world”.

One of the purposes of evil is to help us recognize where our own imperfections can take us. Hitler was the zenith of where hating on people who can’t or won’t hurt you, can lead.

Don’t go down that road.

Rather, just look for a place where you can make some hurting person hurt less.
