Obama is such a good buddy of the pro-aborts, and they love to affirm his greatness as their candidate. Read NARAL's press release here. Any Catholic who supports Obama is clearly in danger of losing his soul. You can't say you are pro-life and then vote for someone who not only makes abortion a sacrament, but is determined to force everyone to pay to kill children (all chemical birth control prevents implantation all or part of the time). Many Catholics see the evil of killing children, but have not recognized the evil of rejecting God's plan for human sexuality. Contraception is a grave moral evil that makes man and woman little gods who usurp God's authority over life itself. "If your plan is for a child, God, we will not serve!"
What we are seeing here is the consequence of the failure of our Church leaders to promulgate Humanae Vitae. Abortion is the poisonous plant but contraception is the taproot. Until we have serious and continuing catechesis against contraception, the evil will continue to grow. If you have never read Pope Paul VI's encylical, read it. He predicted the evils that would come in the wake of a culture succumbing to the siren song of contraception. After you read it, encourage your bishop and your pastors to preach it. The hour is late!
Thank you, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI was in a philosophy class in the summer of 1969, during which Humanae Vitae came up for discussion and, of course, round condemnation. I asked how many people had actually read the document; three hands besides mine went up. I opined loudly that no one who hadn't read the document had any standing to discuss it.
I really believed that there were no other adults in the world that believed that abortion, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, and a whole list of other debacles were flat out sin, and abjectly wrong in the eyes of God! The church I attend debates such things - you know - to draw the right conclusion (rolling eyes). I go to an Orthodox church. You would not believe just how many liberals, socialists, and progressives have invaded Her doors, many of whom are priests - out, loud, and proud of their secular worldview. Your blog here gave me some hope. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI say to the article, exactly. There are too many people busy cheating on their husbands and wives or partners, too, to want to stop using contraception. From what I have seen, and I have lived a long time, that is the main problem with all this -- promiscuity and a lack of control of ones passions. If the husband cheats, many wives cheat. If the wife cheats, many husbands cheat, and the husbands and wives sometimes cheat with multiple partners, and the children are the ones who suffer and see all this and end up as adults as the Hook-up Generation because they are afraid of commitment, and it is the fault of the parents, but no one wants to say that, but I am saying it. I know of grandmothers and grandfather who are living together with someone, and they wonder why their adult children and grandchildren are so messed up. They need only look in the mirror to find the answer. Wake up people! You cannot do all this and have a functional society without chaos. Your God has become contraception and sex not the Lord.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line is that many of us raised in and living in the church today do not believe that it is a sin to prevent pregnancy or to choose how many children we, as married couples, want to have. The idea that God demands all Catholics to have as many children as biologically possible is absurd. And the idea that God will "only give you as many as you can handle" is also absurd - if that were true, there wouldn't be infertile couples, couples who have many miscarriages, or couples struggling with 10 kids on one income. If you want to have lots of kids - great! Do that! But it doesn't make any sense for the church to stick by this old, outdated guideline. The church makes changes all the time. That family size is left up to a bunch of celibate men to consider is head-shakingly odd. And as for Obama... I can hardly countenance anyone who says he is evil. He is a family man doing his best to rule a secular country. Why should he make rules just to make Catholics happy?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you set up and knock down a straw man when you say it's absurd that God wants us to have as many children as we possibly can. Obviously! If he wanted, that he would have make a woman fertile every day of her cycle, but she can actually only get pregnant during a short window. I taught NFP for 15 years and couples can unerstand and appreciate their fertility and use that knowledge to plan to conceive or postpone conception during any given cycle. It has a high success rate used both ways which is why fertility doctors often begin their workups by teaching a woman to chart her fertility signs.
ReplyDeleteAs for God's laws being outdated, you are sadly mistaken. The Bible condemns contraception (Onanism). Not only that, but the nature of love is such that you cannot separate the life-giving aspects from the love-giving without doing violence to the relationship. When couples contracept they reject an important part of their nature, their fertility. You can't love unconditionally while your bodies are speaking a lie. "I love you and accept all of you...except your ability to procreate. That has to be drugged or plugged into oblivian or cut off permanently."
As for Obama being evil... You can countenance it or not, but a man who has called his own potential granchildren a "punishment" who should be killed by abortion is certainly not my idea of a loving father.
And where exactly does Obama get the authority to make rules on this at all, pray tell? Why should insurance companies be "mandated" to provide contraception (including abortion causing birth control) and sterilization?

ReplyDeleteEMPEROR AND EMPRESS OBAMA
The Old Testament has time-proven insights into professional vacationers like the Obamas:
Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): "It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury - how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!"
Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under "a servant who becomes king."
And Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (KJV) advises: "let thy words be few...a fool's voice is known by multitude of words."
Although Obama is not descended from slaves, he may feel that he's destined to become a black-slavery avenger.
Or maybe an enslaver of all free citizens!
For some stunning info on Pres. Obama and his fellow traitors, Google "Imam Bloomberg's Sharia Mosque," "Michelle Obama's Allah-day," "Obama Supports Public Depravity," "David Letterman's Hate Etc.," "Un-Americans Fight Franklin Graham" and also "Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman." Also Google "Islam will purify Jews and Christians" and "Prof. F. N. Lee's ISLAM IN THE BIBLE [PDF]."
Since Christians are commanded to ask God to send severe judgment on persons who commit and support the worst forms of evil (see I Cor. 5 and note "taken away"), Christians everywhere should constantly pray that the Lord will soon "take away" or at least overthrow all US leaders (including subversive, America-hating, Jesus-bashing Hollywood shmucks) who continue to sear their conscience, who dangle every unspeakably filthy vice before young people, and who arrogantly trample the God-given rights of the majority including the rights of the unborn. Do we need a second American Revolution?
After the Obamas are kicked out of the White House, there will be no place on earth where they can escape from scowling folks who wish to belatedly express their gratitude, in tangible ways, to the Obamas who tried to destroy the greatest nation ever.
For the record I'll predict that after the Nov. 2012 election, Obama will try something so unthinkably insane that he will be physically restrained and locked up - and remember where you heard this first!
