Stacy Trasancos, homosexual activists and dialogue...

Earlier this year I posted on how an Ontario panel, organized by the University of Toronto's Institute for Studies in Education, discussed how to silence religious opposition to LGBT propaganda in schools.  See here.  Although there are, of course, homosexual persons who are people of good will, the homosexual movement itself is totalitarian in nature and seeks to impose its agenda on all.  Even if this means silencing religious opposition.

Most of those who advance the radical homosexual agenda are simply not interested in authentic dialogue.  See here for example.  Stacy Trasancos discovered this recently when she blogged on homosexual activity and received many insults and even threats directed against herself and her family.  Readers of this Blog know that I have been threatened repeatedly.  One homosexual activist called the Mothertown News to tell them that he was going to kill me with his high-powered rifle because I had written a piece for that paper explaining the magisterial teaching of the Church regarding homosexual acts.

In his Encyclical Letter Redemptoris Missio (The Mission of the Redeemer), Pope John Paul II said that, "The Church proposes; she imposes nothing." (No. 39). Such was the teaching of Vatican II: "The Church strictly forbids forcing anyone to embrace the faith, or alluring or enticing people by worrisome wiles. By the same token, she also strongly insists on this right, that no one be frightened away from the faith by unjust vexations on the part of others." (Ad Gentes, No. 13). And Dignitatis Humanae, No. 10 teaches that: "It is one of the major tenets of Catholic doctrine that man's response to God in faith must be free: no one therefore is to be forced to embrace the Christian faith against his own will. This doctrine is contained in the word of God and it was constantly proclaimed by the Fathers of the Church. The act of faith is of its very nature a free act. Man, redeemed by Christ the Savior and through Christ Jesus called to be God's adopted son, cannot give his adherence to God revealing Himself unless, under the drawing of the Father, he offers to God the reasonable and free submission of faith. It is therefore completely in accord with the nature of faith that in matters religious every manner of coercion on the part of men should be excluded. In consequence, the principle of religious freedom makes no small contribution to the creation of an environment in which men can without hindrance be invited to the Christian faith, embrace it of their own free will, and profess it effectively in their whole manner of life."


But while the Church respects freedom of conscience and shuns any form of coercion, our Holy Father reminds us that, "We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires.

We, however, have a different goal: the Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism. An "adult" faith is not a faith that follows the trends of fashion and the latest novelty; a mature adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ. It is this friendship that opens us up to all that is good and gives us a criterion by which to distinguish the true from the false, and deceit from truth."

This dictatorship of relativism seeks to impose its immoral agenda on Christians in the name of "tolerance." But this "tolerance" is a sham. It is simply an attempt to make an idol out of a false conception of freedom. Again, our Holy Father explains that, "..what clearly stands behind the modern era's radical demand for freedom is the promise: You will be like God...The implicit goal of all modern freedom movements is, in the end, to be like a god, dependent on nothing and nobody, with one's own freedom not restricted by anyone else's...The primeval error of such a radically developed desire for freedom lies in the idea of a divinity that is conceived as being purely egotistical. The god thus conceived of is, not God, but an idol, indeed, the image of what the Christian tradition would call the devil, the anti-god, because therein lies the radical opposite of the true God: the true God is, of his own nature, being-for (Father), being-from (Son), and being-with (Holy Spirit). Yet man is in the image of God precisely because the being-for , from, and with constitute the basic anthropological shape. Whenever people try to free themselves from this, they are moving, not toward divinity, but toward dehumanizing, toward the destruction of being itself through the destruction of truth. The Jacobin variant of the idea of liberation...is a rebellion against being human in itself, rebellion against truth, and that is why it leads people - as Sartre percipiently observed - into a self-contradictory existence that we call hell. It has thus become fairly clear that freedom is linked to a yardstick, the yardstick of reality - to truth*. Freedom to destroy oneself or to destroy others is not freedom but a diabolical parody. The freedom of man is a shared freedom, freedom in a coexistence of other freedoms, which are mutually limiting and thus mutually supportive: freedom must be measured according to what I am, what we are - otherwise it abolishes itself."

In the name of "tolerance," the New World Order seeks to impose its rebellion from truth on all. It will not tolerate any dissent, any disagreement. Coercion is an acceptable tool in a dictatorship. Soon, the New Order will use violence to achieve its goals and not just coercion and propaganda. In the end, every dictatorship must rely on violence in its vain attempt to hold onto power.

Already the signs are emerging.  Catholics who oppose homosexuality on religious and moral grounds are being demonized.  So too the teaching authority of the Catholic Church.  See here for example.  Before a dictatorship can resort to violence, it must first demonize the group it wants to suppress or eliminate.

I have seen this at different Catholic blogs. While most Catholic commenters are respectful and open to real dialogue, most of those agitating for homosexual sex or same-sex marriage are not. It is almost a rule actually.

Again, this is why you are losing. We will convert your church. We will conquer it. We will win because we are winning the youth. We are the future. You are the past.

Anonymous, your future is the sharia law in which the homosexuals are stick beaten the first time they are caught and beaten to death the second time.
We the christian dhimmis will be better tolerated by the muslims than you even if they will often persecute us.
I don't wish you that but this is what will probably happen. Then you will regret the good ol'time when your country was truly christian. Believe me I know very well the muslim countries. They work that way.
Islam will be scourge of God against the former christian countries that have apostasied.

Jac, how true. Never thought of that! Things are growing so dark now. Every day the LGBT movement wins another victory in the courts and in the court of public opinion. They are gaining momentum each and every day and even in the Chrch support for gay sex and gay marriage grows. It is so alarming.

You are just upset because your church is losing. It is imploding from within and assailed from without from many directions. You are feeling the panic now as gays and lesbians are over-cuming your church. We will do what whole armies couldn't do. We will defeat the church of rome. And we will do it with love. We will not need to resort to violence. We will over-cum you with the power of pure lust.

Continue to deny it but resistance is futile. The world is ready to embrace a new future.

FCKH8! lol.......FCKH8!

The collapse is being documented. The Church is succumbing to the realities of a New Age. Deep-down you Catholics know that. And you are desperately trying to conceal this fact.

To this blog's author: I challenge you to debate with John Hosty over at Live Love Learn. What are you afraid of? That he will defeat your arguments with his superior logic?

I know your in crisis. Admit that your ideas are archaic and that you secretly want the Church to be queered. You know that every day gays and lesbians win another victory in court and in the court of public opinion. That's because their ideas are superior to yours.

My prescription for your happiness? Admit that you have a hiden desire to join our side. If you were put in a room with Carmen Carerra to convert him, I think you are the one who would be converted. I think you would quickly succumb to a good gay blow job!

Sister Temptation,
You say "the collapse is being documented" and you believe you have made a major discovery. But we the true catholics we have documented that much long before yourself, 130 years ago, through the vision the Pope Leo XIII got in which Satan challenged God in succeeding to destroy the RCC within 100 years.
We are exactly in the timing:
The 100 years were spent and the Church still stands despite all the attacks she underwent during the XXth century until now. Don't say the victory is at hand too early: The communism was much more dangerous than you are and it was defeated and you will be defeated too even if 90 per cent of the Church is destroyed during the struggle. She will blossom again on your ashes.
Did you ever wonder if ever a human institution lasted as long as the Church for 20 centuries?
There is none.
Keep sniggering while you can.

Celebrating homosexual acts is the same as celebrating adultery and divorce. All deviate from the true purpose of sexual love. That's why these comments from homosexuals don't wash.

Paul Anthony Melanson said...

The comments from Anonymous and "sister" only serve to illustrate that homosexual activists are not (generally speaking) interested in authentic dialogue but merely ad hominem attacks and propaganda.

It was Gabriel Marcel who wrote that, "Fanaticism is essentially opinion; opinion pushed to paroxysm; with everything that the notion of opinion may imply of blinded ignorance as to its own nature...whatever ends the fanatic is aiming at or thinks he is aiming at, even if he wishes to gather men together, he can only in fact separate them; but as his own interests cannot lie in effecting this separation, his is led...to wish to wipe his opponents out. And when he is thinking of these opponents, he takes care to form the most degrading images of them possible - they are 'lubricious vipers' or 'hyenas and jackals with typewriters' - and the ones that reduce them to most grossly material terms. In fact, he no longer thinks of these opponents except as material obstacles to be overturned or smashed down. Having abandoned the behaviour of a thinking being, he has lost even the feeblest notion of what a thinking being, outside himself, could be. It is understandable therefore that he should make very effort to deny in advance the rights and qualifications of those whom he wishes to eliminate; and that he should regard all means to this end as fair. We are back here again at the techniques of degradation...fanaticism is, of its very nature, incompatible with any regard for truth; and as truth itself is not really seperable from our regard for it, we need not hesitate to say that the fanatic is the enemy of truth..." (Man Against Mass Society, pp. 149-150).

Hi Paul, thanks for writing this about freedom and tolerance. Someone mentioned in my comment boxes.

Hi Stacy. You have a wonderful Blog. And a nice way of putting things. God bless you for your witness to faith. May Our Lady wrap you and your family in her mantle. And may the Sacred Heart of Jesus guide and protect you always.
