Some first rate commentary on the Charlotte Fiasco is at A Blog For Dallas Area Catholics with, I am sure, their profound apologies to Charlie Daniels:
she was looking for some souls to save, she was in a bind, cuz she was way behind, she had’ta speak Truth hard and brave.
When she come across these young kids going to school in ol’ Char-lot
They call them Catholic but it seems……they’re not
She said: “You may not believe, but I’m Catholic, true,”
“And if you dare, you’ll see it’s fair, the devil has his hand on you.”
The kids said “we are so Katholyc, and it may be a sin”
“But we don’t care for Truth, we’re such smart youth, we’re jumpin’ on this gay wagon”
Sister get down and pray, the hate is comin’ hard
Cuz hell’s broke loose in Charlotte and the devil’s now in charge
And if you stay true you’ll get a halo made of gold,
but for these kids, the devil’s got their soul……
Alright, enough of that. So they had the outrage session at Charlotte, ahem, Catholic High School Tuesday night, in response to the horrific atrocity of exposing what appear to be horribly formed youth and parents to some very basic Truth. Mind, this was a presentation on Theology of the Body, so it wasn’t like they were hearing the really severe condemnations of sin that are very prevalent in the Tradition.
But it seems the nun who have the talk had the temerity to not only suggest, but demonstrate via sociological data, that those lost in the sins of sodom and sapphos are not “born that way,” but through various traumas or predilections to sin fall into that lifestyle.
And that was simply too much, much, much too much, for the precious dears – and possibly, even more so, their parents – to hear. There is pretty extensive coverage of the talk given here, and while I don’t feel a particular need to give yet more space to the politically ginned-up outrage expressed last night (it seems some activists may have been brought in, last minute like, to insure the meeting went only one direction), I do want to pull out a couple of quotes from the aggrieved for examination.
Go here to read the rest. The Church has always been engaged in a vast spiritual war. The dispiriting sad fact today is that too many of our clergy have either decided to fight for the other side, some overtly and some covertly, and that too many of the remainder run up the white flag, even when confronted with something as mild, and ludicrous, as a temper tantrum by parents and their brats who are shocked, shocked to hear Catholic doctrine preached at an ostensibly Catholic high school.
I hope that the Nun who went down to Charlotte, NC gets elevated to Heaven itself when she has finished her term of punishment in this vale of tears.
These parents and their spoiled little brats need a St. Paul confrontation.
A REAL Nun, NOT a Member of The LCWR:
Way to Go!
This is so weird. We finally get a nun linking gay acts to selfie responsibility as does Romans1 and she gets tarred and feathered. I when young as a camp counselor had a ten year old boy in camp who had the legs of a girl and facial qualities of a girl by nature and kids would constantly ask him if he was a girl. I’m guessing he was a chimeric individual with the DNA of what should have been fraternal boy/ girl twins. The fertilized fraternal twin eggs lie too close to each other and fuse into one cell mass which becomes one person with two dna strains. If the twins were supposed to be boy/ girl, I’m guessing my camper could be the result. But Romans 1 is not talking about him but of normal people who sin and worship idols…be they Baal or video games now in our day…and later become gay by virtue of having paid worship to things and not to God.
Romans 1: 21-27
” …for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.s
22
While claiming to be wise,t they became fools
23
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.u
24
Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts* for the mutual degradation of their bodies.v
25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.w
26
Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
27
and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity.”
Now that I’ve quoted God within the year 2014, I need a sabbatical or at least a shot of Jack D.
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is The Bride of Christ. Sadly, due to the World of Modernist Trite Tripe being taught since the 1960s and Beyond, one wonders about how many Catholics are, well, Catholic.
