- By their fruits you shall know them.
I watched most of Barack Obama's commencement speech, at least until the mercifully timed
power outage. I was proud each time I heard a voice of opposition rise up in the cavernous
auditorium. One voice crying out in the wilderness, and another, and another. And the cry of a
baby as Father Jenkins spoke. The priest literally gushed with praise of Obama. It was, quite
simply, nauseating.
- For there shall come a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth...
We shall see if the liberal Catholics gain concessions from this administration. We shall see if he
hires one pro-life person for his cabinet. So far it's loaded with Planned Parenthood personnel.
Heck, he hasn't even come up with a pro-life person to appoint as a Vatican Diplomat!
The liberal Catholics speak of dialog, while the democrat controlled United States Congress
begins to pass laws which threaten to throw bloggers in jail for 2 years if their words are deemed
as 'hate speech.' I thought this only happened in China and renegade communist tyrannies. Now
here? In my country?
Meanwhile, the radical homosexual agenda plows ahead, intimidating everyone in its path. They
seek to redefine the family, marriage, indoctrinate kindergarteners, and begin a dictatorship of
intolerance against any religion whose tenets won't be reconciled to their agenda. Canada is
already jailing those who speak against homosexuality. Religious broadcasts that uphold
traditional values are being silenced in that country. I used to get hits on my site from Canada.
I don't anymore...
Liberal Catholics are worldly. They seek the world's approval. It is quite apparent that the prince
of this world and his minions could swallow them whole with barely a fight. Courage is conservative.
Charity? The ones who give the most are conservative. That's a proven, statistical fact. Liberals
talk a good game but when it comes down to it, it's all about them.
I think Judas was a liberal. He whined about the expensive perfume that the woman poured on
Christ's feet before His death. John said that Judas complained that the perfume could have
been sold and the money should have been given to the poor. John pointed out that Judas was
in charge of the purse, and the money would have gone to him before the poor ever saw it. John
said Judas was skimming money from that purse. Jesus corrected Judas by informing him that the
world would always have the poor, but the apostles wouldn't always have Him. That is why
liberalism's goal of eliminating poverty is, for all practical purposes, a heresy.
Jesus Christ said so.
Today, while watching the Notre Dame University commencement, it became glaringly obvious
that Liberal Catholicism is nothing more than an institutionalized, secular soup kitchen. Liberal
Catholics pine away about wars, when 'the fruit of abortion,' as Mother Teresa warned, 'is
nuclear war.' They refuse to realize that war is a punishment for sin, as the seer Jacinta at Fatima
said was the case.
Liberal Catholics fret and complain about the symptoms rather than courageously confronting the
disease. It's politically correct that way. It's much more comfortable because it takes no courage.
Real religion is tricky business to these folks. Today, I think I even heard one of them attempt to
separate faith from reason. Anyone who does this has no idea of either concept. They coexist.
One is dependent upon the other.
What a sad day for Catholicism in the United States.
We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has
gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles
of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation
between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel and the anti-Gospel. This
confrontation lies within the plans of divine providence. It is a trial which the whole
Church . . . must take up.
