Our prayers and enthusiastically best wishes must on this feast be with the Papa Stronsay Redemptorists, and their brethren in New Zealand, who keep alive in our own time the charism of that great Doctor of the Church. I hope that today the Fathers and Brethren may be allowed some festive relaxation of their labours! Ad multos annos!!
Descending from the sublime to the depressing, I wonder how S Alfonso, a magnificent exponent of Catholic Moral Theology, would be ... well, is ... responding to the Monkeypox ... which appears to be another contribution to our culture from such promiscuous homosexuals as might not bother with Safe Sex.
In a desire not to seem exclusively to condemn genitally active homosexuals, it is commonly suggested that we are all at risk of being infected by sexually transmitted diseases.
Really? A husband and wife neither of whom has ever had intercourse with anybody else? A homosexual couple neither of whom has ever had sexual contact with anybody else? And who have never injected drugs?
Well, I suppose that anybody can catch Aids if they have a rogue GP who reuses dirty needles or if something goes wrong in the Blood Transfusion service, but what percentage of Aids (or monkeypox) sufferers falls into those categories?
It reminds me of hearing one of the advocates of the Libidinous Society saying that Sexually Transmitted Diseases are a risk for "everybody who is sexually active".
How far is that true for a couple neither of whom has ever had another sexual partner?
According to this fashionable linguistic usage, when a married couple neither of whom has ever had intercourse with anybody else get into bed together and make love, they do not qualify for the lofty modern status of being "sexually active". This is not even new. I recall an American series we had decades ago on TV called Cagney and Lacey in which ... for clarity ... we were informed that one of these constabular ladies was "married" while the other was "sexually active".
I think there should be a Dedicated Title for our elite and dominant Filthy Classes, I mean, for those who operate on the assumption, and are permitted relentlessly to promote in the Media the idea, that everybody is automatically promiscuous.
In the spirit of the lexicographical passions of the current pontificate, I suggest "the Coprocracy".
There are consequences to men who worship idols.
ReplyDelete3 Kings Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron"
Romans 1 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error."
There is no secular authority that can forbid one from speaking the truth and if every minister, rabbi and Imman forthrightly spoke the truth about the physical and spiritual consequences of homosexual actions and refused to apologise for speaking the truth there is nothing the libidinious could do to them that would matter.
Sure, there would be an attempts to silence the clerical voices but the community of clerics far far far outnumber those who support the perversity of homosexuality.
All it takes are a few clerics to speak out and then refuse to apologise for speaking the truth and other clerics could support them when they are attacked and punished.
Juts do it; damn the SJW secularists.
Father, don't forget the Transalpine Redemptorist foundation in Montana, USA. All hail the Bonnie Prince!

ReplyDeleteHomosexualists have succeeded in normalizing this perversion. AIDS didn't change that and I doubt Monkeypox will either. The Marxists have won again.
ReplyDeleteSo, HH Pope Michael died on St. Alphonsus' of Liguori's day.
