It has amazed me that believers, either for political reasons or to pacify the radical left, not only compromise their faith but then rationalize egregious errors as compatible with the Gospel. Some claim that same sex unions pass muster if there is monogamy. Convoluted teachings from churchmen suggest that these unions can be blessed. But we cannot bless sin! A great many argue for approval toward pre-ceremonial sex if there is love and commitment— but fornication is a mortal sin against marriage and the family! Increasing numbers are excusing divorce and remarriage, especially “when love dies” and there are new children in the mix— but Jesus himself rejected these serial marriages as the sin of adultery! Christians in certain states are so weak about human trafficking, they want the formal legalization of prostitution so that authorities can tax sin for revenue. That turns the government into a collaborating pimp!
One national politician and fallen away Catholic argued that a baby is not a baby until the first breath is taken. That means that it is okay to destroy a nine-month-old child if he or she is still in the womb. Nonsense! There is no such thing as a pro-abortion Gospel. The soul is infused at conception, and we even celebrate this mystery regarding Mary as the Immaculate Conception. Biblically, we recall the leap of joy by the unborn John in the womb of Elizabeth when in close proximity to Christ in the womb of Mary (Luke 1:41–44). Those who would make empty rationalizations and play word games for “women’s reproductive rights” have made a whole class of people expendable and stripped of the right to life.
Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.”
Psalm 22:10-11 – “For you drew me forth from the womb, made me safe at my mother’s breasts. Upon you I was thrust from the womb; since my mother bore me you are my God.”
While we used to complain that many would replace Catholicism for a liberal Protestantism, today the substitution is a shell game with a secular humanism at odds with the very heart of Christian teachings and values.
