Well, another American icon irredeemably tarnished…..

Another story via LifeSiteNews, the 2014 Rose Parade will conclude with, you guessed it, a sodomite pseudo-marriage:

It’s the West Coast equivalent of New York’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – the world-famous Tournament of Roses Parade held each New Year’s Day in the Los Angeles suburb of Pasadena. The parade, featuring giant festive floats colored not with paint, but with millions of fresh-cut flowers, usually draws a huge crowd: Last year, an estimated 800,000 people showed up to watch in person, while another 80 million around the world watched on television.

This year, the event’s viewers will see more than just the family-friendly parade they’ve come to expect over the event’s more than 100-years-long history – they’ll also witness a controversial same-sex “wedding,” courtesy of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF).

According to the Pasadena Star News, a pair of homosexual hair stylists will “marry” on the parade route while riding a wedding-cake shaped float sponsored by the AHF…….

………“Having my relationship recognized legally is already a dream come true,” Leclair said in an AHF press release. “To be able to declare my love to the world at large in hopes of inspiring others to live proudly and authentically is an enormous honor.”

Yet another reason I’m so glad I don’t have a TV anymore. I still miss college football a bit, but it’s a good mortification for me.  Not that Texas has been all that fun to watch the past 4 years, anyways.

I was at a catechism class the other night, and the priest teaching highlighted this point about those lost in sins of sodomy or of Gomorrah: deep down, they know what they do is profoundly wrong, incredibly disordered, offensive to God, and all the rest.  I have written similarly in the past, much of the cultural onslaught in favor of the perverse is about their always present need for affirmation. That affirmation serves to quell those pangs of conscience that afflict the souls lost in these sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance. But it is never enough.  That is why this homosexual advocacy will be the vehicle of the coming persecution, there is a tendency among these folks to need not just continual, fawning affirmation, but a need to utterly crush any opposition that could serve as a reminder of their sin.  The Church, obviously, will be a major target.

But even with the constant affirmation available today, we still see that especially men lost in this sin tend to have disastrous trends in life-outcomes.  Alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, incredibly risky sexual activity (if not deliberately seeking self-destruction through acquisition of venereal disease), profound psychological problems, etc., are all massively over-represented in the so-called homosexual population.  This is a circle that cannot be squared.

We heard the progressive spirit of Vatican II types saying the Church could not be  a ghetto (a naked assertion, never justified).  Well, as far as I’m concerned, bring on the ghetto, I’ll always work for the conversion of souls but this culture can go ahead and eat itself, as far as I’m concerned.

We are pre-Christian Rome. And it all happened in a few generations. Amazing.
