MUST WATCH: Powerful sermon on the sodo-mafia and destruction of the culture August 14, 2014

I heard this sermon last Sunday and was quite moved.  It’s the kind of sermon, as another reader said, that makes you want to stand up and cheer and go man the ramparts.  It’s about the ongoing destruction of the culture and the few remaining intact institutions at the hands of the sodomite mafia.  As the priest duly notes, this is not an attack on individual souls struggling with certain sins.  We all struggle with sin.  Some of us, like addicts, may have even been given a special cross by Our Most Merciful Lord, being born with a certain predisposition to sin.  God does not afflict people, God gives gifts, and these crosses are special means for us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.

No, what the priest is addressing is the organized, well-funded, deliberate movement designed to destroy the foundations of all civilization in order to permit those given over to the grossest of perversions to have a free hand to engage in their base acts, and lure others into doing the same.  It is not about wanting to marry, it is about destroying marriage as an institution.  It is about freeing up children to the be objects of lust and sexual use by adults given totally over to a reprobate sense.  It is about turning life, given us by God to learn to draw near to Him and be happy with Him in Heaven, into a dystopic hedonist “pleasure” dome of wanton lust and endless depravity.

But that is not all.  Because the sodomite hedonists of our time, and their many allies who desire similar depravity from a “heterosexual” perspective, have such an all-encompassing vision completely contrary to the Christian Faith, the Christian Faith must be destroyed as a matter of course in order for them to achieve their ends.  Or, at the very least, Christian belief and practice must be so excoriated and discredited in the public mind that the few that adhere to it will be a persecuted and hated minority, driven from the public square and forced to exist, to the extent we are permitted to exist at all, in the deepest shadows.  We may well be driven underground.  There can be no accommodation with this enemy of the Faith -they seek  nothing less than the total destruction of the remaining elements of Christendom and its replacement with a sexular pagan ethos of ultimate derangement from virtue and embrace of evil.

I post a fair number of sermons.  All of them are very good, but this one is not just excellent but vital.  I pray it is listened to by all my readers:

“Willful apostasy from the known truth, after which we have all manner of reason to look toward a dreadful judgment, because apostates from the known truth seldom or never have the Grace to return to it. So they should be filled with a fearful expectation of judgment and look forward to the fury of a raging fire that will consume them.”

Such a key quote.  The only way this sexular pagan revolution has been able to come about is because Christians in general and Catholics in particular have gone along with this revolution more or less totally.  If some 90% of Catholics did not feel that contraception is not intrinsically evil, this mass moral degradation would never have come about.  If the vast majority of Catholics see nothing wrong in fornication, in adultery, in mass consumption of pornography, and now this final assault on marriage, what can we expect from pagans and those outside the Church?

I have been considering what I am about to say for some time but I feel it really must be implemented now.  I do a little to try to strengthen the faithful, but I do very little to try to convert those lost in sin.  I do pray outside mills some (my wife and children do much more), but by that point the souls we try to reach are so gone over into perversion and so lost in a reprobate sense that reaching them, converting them from their intended wickedness, requires a moral miracle.

And in addition to that, there are so many grave evils that take place in our culture, in this very city, that are totally unopposed.  I think it is time that they start being opposed.  That is why I would like to ask local readers of this blog – men only -to join me in forming a group that will protest outside the many, many strip clubs in this city at least one night a month, or more frequently if possible.  We will need at least 4 men at any one time for safety’s sake.  I don’t plan on being confrontational at all, just a few signs reminding the customers of these “gateway drugs” to moral degradation that they are committing adultery or fornication by using women in this most objectifying way.

I hope and pray some men will respond.  I do not think this is something that can prudently be done alone.  There is a sad assortment of these places within 4 miles or so of Mater Dei.  I hope a few local men would be willing to participate.

Please leave a response in the comments.  Or get in touch with me directly, those I’m thinking of know how.  This is one small act we can take to try to steer a few souls away from these dens of iniquity.  In times past, Catholic opposition to such places would have been a given.  In many dioceses and parishes, bishops and priests would have rallied the faithful to picket such places until they closed.  Such has occurred, many times.  But some time in the 60s or 70s both the leadership and laity lost their way and began to stand aside as the many dens of iniquity proliferated.  If we want to stand against this culture and, God willing, shake a few souls from their stuporous inebriation in lust, we’re going to have to act.  I pray you will join me.
