Today there is a demand for sex without love, for a licentiousness in sex which has wrought a heartless society in which individuals do not care for anyone but themselves. The fruit of this demonic theology is the slaughter through abortion and euthanasia of human beings created in the Imago Dei. It is a theology of violence which is rooted in hatred of truth. For at the heart of immorality is falsity, the hatred of truth. Fr. Vincent P. Miceli, in an essay entitled "The Taproot of Violence," explains: "...violence entered creation from the rebellion of Lucifer. This rebellion arose from the heart of pride. But the sin of pride is the offspring of the vice known as hatred of truth. Hatred of truth is the result of the creature's attempt to rearrange God's hierarchy of beings and values into an order which the creature prefers to the plan of God. This attempt immediately produces the violence of disorder, the chaos of falsity and immorality. For hatred of truth is really hatred of God who creates all things wisely and governs them lovingly. Lucifer, the Morning Star, was instantly deformed into the Prince of Darkness because he attempted to live a lie. He wanted to dethrone God and become God himself..."
We live in an environment where there is a "violence of disorder" because we have abandoned truth. And hatred of truth leads to violence. It is the very root of violence. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own account, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me." (John 8: 42-45).
It is rejection of truth which leads to violence. And so we read in verse 59 of the same Chapter, "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple." If there is exaggerated rhetoric and violence across our society, it is because many have rejected God's created order. But there is a consequence to this rejection of truth. As Dorothy Sayers reminded us, if we will not have Christ, we will have chaos.
Like I said before, Hosty comes across as unstable in my opinion. Read this sick post:

I wonder if he wants to burn you down?
Mr. Melanson has been right all these years, the homosexual movement is a hate movement. It frequently resorts to violence.

Many of these homoactivists are really domestic terrorists. I guess Hosty, who has nothing to say about threats of rape and burning down houses, or the violence over Proposition 8 in California directed against Christians, supports this hate.
ReplyDeleteIf he didn't, he would denounce the homohate.
They are hateful, and attack those faithful to Christ's teachings because His teachings and God's law exposes them for what they are. They can't refute it, they like all fascists seem to demean and attack the faith and the faithful. They can attack and vilify us and the faith all they like, they can never, will never change the fact that they have mired themselves and continue to bury themselves deeper in the worst sins.
ReplyDeleteTed, I would have to agree with you. That pig wrote, "The strategy for the GLBT community should be to stand up to Rome and help mobilize mainstream Catholics to fight back against an authoritarian Pontiff who is hell-bent on making the Catholic Church as unpopular and unappealing as His Holiness."
ReplyDeleteOnly a sick, twisted mind would view a holy Pope as "unappealing."
Hosty should contemplate the fires of Hell which await demon-inspired sodomite who refuse to repent, believe in the Good News of Jesus Christ, and return to living a sacramental life.
Thankfully his trash blog, which was a total failure, ceased publishing three years ago.
I'm sure his three readers were disappointed. But the rest of us will never miss it.
