A Growing Denunciation of God, Righteousness, and the battle to save Christianity

A Growing Denunciation of God, Righteousness, and the battle to save Christianity

How could this be a problem in a nation that stands for the rights of religion, freedom of speech, and the real concern of our children’s future to take over this nation’s stability?  Ask this question to our young children 5, 10, or 25 years from now.  How many of us will be around to receive the answer?

The decline of morality in America has increased more rapidly in the 20th century than years before, and since the beginning of the 21st century it has increased in immoral living quicker than the speed of a fast-ball pitch in baseball.

We are on the path of total upheaval by too many angry protesters that most of them do not know why they are out there yelling, fighting, or just standing with signs that mean very little to the law abiding citizen.   

There is a movement to make innocent people hate the law enforcement for reasons most do not understand due to political infractions that began when man decided he was better than what someone said he doesn’t need since he has a mind of his own.

Look at the continued lack of honoring God and his Church.  Then look at the prospect of denouncing the education of our children by indoctrinating them with “who am I; a boy or a girl?”  The image of biological ownership has been taken away from children that are so ignorant as to what those they trust because of their ages are being coerced by teachers and medical personnel that they might be a mistake when they were born is the worst interference in their personal lives this century is promoting.  

It doesn’t end there.  Pornography has become a billion dollar industry that is ruining moral thinking by making sexual freedom a right for people to use for gratification and is affecting people of all ages.  I remember when I was in the US Army and stationed at West Point some of us would drive to New York City for rock and roll stage shows.  The many movie theaters on 42nd Street, over 50 or more, had as many shows that you could choose to watch.  All had wholesome pictures.   That was during the 1950’s.  In 1964 my wife and I along with our daughter went to Long Island for the World’s Fair in 1964.  Driving down 42nd Street the same theaters all had XXX movies.  It didn’t take the promoters of pornography long to flood the entertainment industry with something that would corrupt the world with a sexual revolution.

Pornogrphy consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties.  It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other.  It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others.  It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world.  It is a grave offense.  Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornagraphic materials.  (CCC 2354)

I believe that the police-departments are a blessing that make us safe and help to control the loose enemies that would take over peaceful cities if not for their watching and holding the law in a correct manner.  However, with the event of President Trump using ICE as a deterrent to keep law and order intact they are running into Governors and local Mayors of some cities to keep their police forces from assisting ICE.  Suddenly the law of the land, adhered to by the US Constitution, is being twisted around and allowing through political factions to place their citizens in an unsafe position for no other reason than politics.  When politics stands in the way of safety the nation is in dire need of a miracle.  That miracle lies in the hands of God fearing citizens who stand for the rights of all, not some corrupted governors and mayors.  

At risk of all these self-promoting political leaders are children in elementary schools being forced without their parents knowledge regarding sex changes, people who seek a government that protects their rights, not destroy them for personal reasons, and the assurance that the protection guaranteeing them safe by their police force will be there when they call 911.

The apostasy of the Church and the same ignorance regarding our elected government is up to us at the ballot box and the trust in a God who will always be here for those who believe in the Christ who died for all of us. 

Unity is one missing trend within and without the Church.  Society must adhere to this need;  In fact, “in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain tufts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable,  But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame.”  The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ’s Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism - do not occur without human sin.  (CCC 817). 

Law is a rule of conduct enacted by competent authority for the sake of the common good.  The moral law presupposes the rational order, established among creatures for their good and to serve their final end, by the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator.  All law finds its first and ultimate truth in the eternal law.  Law is declared and established by reason as a participation in the providence of the living God, Creator and Redeemer of all.  “Such an ordinance of reason is what one calls law.”  (CCC 1951).   

According to Scripture the Law is a fatherly instruction by God which prescribes for man the ways that lead to the promised beatitude, and prescribes the ways of evil.  (CCC 1975).

At a danger of being discounted from society are just some of the evils that are plaguing our social lives and when Marxism enters the picture from some like Mamdani as Mayor of New York there will be untold anarchy that might wake us up.
