The idiocy of so many Catholics these days is that they are
arguing about the wrong issues.
The famous phrase of “rearranging the deck chairs on the
Titanic” comes to mind after listening to some conversations which indicate
that the vast majority of Catholics cannot see the imminent
dangers facing their religious freedoms.
Idiocy means to me that one has the capacity to find out the
truth about situations, but one refuses to do so.
Why are so many American Catholics believing that things are
going to be OK in America, and that the European situation is different?
Nope.
Americans are losing rights at such a fast rate that most
people are not realizing what will conspire in a short period of time, which
will be no freedom of religion for anyone who disagrees with
the new state religion-whatever that will be, which includes abortion,
contraception mandates, same-sex marriage, core curriculum
and so on.
When a government creates laws and programs separated from
the natural law and from the Ten Commandments, which are
expressions of natural law,
one’s freedoms become arbitrary. To
separate governance from God, and specifically from the
one true faith, which is
Catholicism, will lead more and more to morals being interpreted by those in
power. Period.
Someone pointed out to me the
illegality of the martial law situation in Boston neighborhoods after the bombings this
past summer. Did anyone
object? Are there lawsuits against the police, or the CIA, or any other special
ops?
Our Founding Fathers would not
have believed the house to house search without personal warrants, or the
curfews.
For this type of tyranny, they
wrote out our Constitutional rights.
Hey, these are going, going, gone.
And, who seems to care? Some
of us did not like the Patriot Act, seeing it as a knee-jerk reaction which
would
erode the rights of
citizens. This has happened.
Few voices have sounded above
the great silence of ignorance, idiocy or just plain ennui.
Few voices in Europe have sounded
the alarms at the growing power of the
Hague and the losing of national sovereignty
among the nation-states.
Why the silence? Comfort? Money? Apathy?
Those parents with children
need to pay attention. Government is out of hand, out of ours hands and it is
supposed to be in
our hands. Teach your children well.
