Thanks to Lawrence v. Texas, bestiality will soon be justified
I've been warning for years that the acceptance of sodomy would lead inevitably to the acceptance of bestiality as well. For example, back in December of 2010, I noted that according to Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauser, just prior to the Reign of Antichrist, "...there will be laxity in divine and human precepts. Discipline will suffer. The Holy Canons will be completely disregarded, and the clergy will not respect the law of the Church. Everyone will be carried away and led to believe and to do what he fancies, according to the manner of the flesh. They will ridicule Christian simplicity ; they will call it folly and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge...As a result no principle at all- however holy, authentic, ancient, and certain it may be, will remain free of censure, criticism, false interpretations, modifications, and delimitation by man.
These are evil times a century full of dangers and calamities. Heresy is everywhere, and the followers of heresy are in power, almost everywhere. Bishops, prelates, and priests say that they are doing their duty, that they are vigilant and that they live as befits their state of life. In like manner therefore they all seek excuses. But God will permit a great evil against His Church; Heretics and tyrants will come suddenly and unexpectedly; they will break into the Church while Bishops prelates and priests are asleep. They will enter Italy and lay Rome waste; they will burn down the churches and destroy everything."
And I asserted that:
The Reign of Antichrist will witness a celebration of sin and perversion the likes of which few can imagine. Pleasure is the new principle par excellence. If pleasure can justify homosexual behavior (and increasingly that is what our sin-sick society is saying), then other deviant forms of sexual activity which are viewed as pleasurable by some will also be logically justified. This will include pedophilia, pederasty, ephebophilia, gerontophilia, necrophilia, sadism, masochism and bestiality."
Cody Beck, who is sexually attracted to dogs and horses, complains that being a "zoophile" in modern American society is "like being gay in the 1950s. You feel like you have to hide, that if you say it out loud, people will look at you like a freak."
Beck believes that he and other members of this minority sexual orientation can, and should, follow in the footsteps of the homosexual movement. He hopes that this minority group can begin appealing to the "open-minded" for acceptance. See here. The push for societal acceptance of bestiality will undoubtedly intensify. Some have already tested the waters as it were.
Back in the 1970s, the Archdiocese of Boston knew that one of its priests, Fr. Paul Shanley, spoke in favor of sex between men and boys at a 1979 meeting which led to the founding of NAMBLA, a national group advocating the practice. The Archdiocese was also informed (in 1977), that during a meeting about homosexuality, Shanley said that he could "think of no sexual act that causes psychic damage - 'not even incest or bestiality.'" See here.
It is only a matter of time before all state laws banning evils such as adultery, prostitution, incest, bigamy, sadomasochism, pedophilia and bestiality are struck down. Why? Because in Lawrence v. Texas, the United States Supreme Court created the legal framework for the complete and utter destruction of those legal constructs of every state which safeguard public morality. Lawrence v. Texas essentially said that there is no morality and that "liberty presumes an autonomy of self."
By contrast, Pope Leo XIII, in his Encyclical Letter Libertas Humana, said that:
"Liberty, the highest of natural endowments, being the portion only of intellectual or rational natures, confers on man this dignity - that he is 'in the hand of his counsel' [see Ecclus 15: 14] and has power over his actions. But the manner in which such dignity is exercised is of the greatest moment, inasmuch as on the use that is made of liberty the highest good and the greatest evil alike depend. Man, indeed, is free to obey his reason, to seek moral good, and to strive unswervingly after his last end. Yet he is free also to turn aside to all other things; and, in pursuing the empty semblance of good, to disturb rightful order and to fall headlong into the destruction which he has voluntarily chosen...
Therefore, the nature of human liberty, however it be considered, whether in individuals or in society, whether in those who command or in those who obey, supposes the necessity of obedience to some supreme and eternal law, which is no other than the authority of God, commanding good and forbidding evil. And, so far from this most just authority of God over men diminishing, or even destroying their liberty, it protects and perfects it, for the real perfection of all creatures is found in the prosecution and attainment of their respective ends, but the supreme end to which human liberty must aspire is God."
What a shame that our "shepherds" - Cahtolic priests of the Worcester Diocese - refuse to speak out against homosexuality, bestiality and other forms of deviant behavior.
ReplyDeleteBut then, why would they? Many if not most have lost their faith on some level.
Paul, where is that horse sculpture from?
ReplyDelete''...being a "zoophile" in modern American society is "like being gay in the 1950s. You feel like you have to hide, that if you say it out loud, people will look at you like a freak.''
-- No kidding!
But on a serious note, even if we ignore the human dignity of persons, which is shattered by bestiality, there is also the consent of the animal (which can't be given), and the animal's dignity. Animals ought not to be sexually abused. I wonder if the animal rights people would be concerned about this?
The ancient relief is found on the temple walls at the Khajuraho Group of Monuments in India not far from New Delhi.

I think groups such as PETA or the NSPCA would only be interested if they knew they could raise monies to fight it.
A cause celebre just isn't the same without wads of cash.
