Feminism At Its Worse

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/reverse-gendercide-feminist-boasts-i-aborted-my-baby-because-it-was-a-boy

One of the main movements that has contributed to the destruction of Holy Matrimony is the feminist movement.

This movement seeks to establish absolute equality between husband and wife, father and mother, male and female.

One thing is to advocate for equality. It's quite another to promote one over another to the point of selective breeding. This is a form of hatred that expresses the final stage of the feminist movement.

Let no man put asunder

What God has joined, let not man put asunder. Mk. 10:9

How permanent is marriage? How permanent should it be? Or, perhaps, the better question is how permanent did God intend it to be.

Modern man can try to redefine nature or the finality of nature. Despite all his efforts, he will never be able to change the limitations God has set upon creation. To each creature, its own finality has been determined by its very creator. 

There's no difference with marriage. As an institution established by God, its very nature and finality was defined already at its inception. The phrase "what God has joined" has a special meaning when we see that the word for "unite" in Greek is syzeúgnymi which actually means to be "jointly-yoked."

This denotes that marriage has the finality of joining man and woman under one common task, which is procreation and raising children. This yoke, in this sense, can synonymously be  called task, duty, obligation or finality. Once this yoke has been jointly taken, by its very nature, and, above all, by divine decree, the union must not be broken by man, neither by magistrate, king nor pope.

But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife. And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. (Mk 10:6-12)

To defend holy matrimony, it's necessary to remind mankind of God's original intent for marriage. By knowing the creators intent, we can better understand the nature and finality of marriage and, in turn, attain its perfection.

Defending Innocence

To defend holy matrimony, it is also necessary to defend all the aspects of procreation and raising children. On top of that list is the main concern to preserve the innocence of children.

Innocence is above all expressed in the beatitude "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God." What is purity but not being stained. What is innocence but the absence of stain.

This co-relation between innocence and purity is of utmost importance in raising children and in helping them transition into adulthood without the modern drama of adolescence.

Innocence is best seen in the face of a child as they begin to see the world. There's nothing more precious than when the child is lost in contemplation of even the simplest of things. Innocence is also best seen in the eyes of a saint who never abandoned their childhood innocence mistaking childish infantilism with the childlike view of the God's creation.

"Unless you become as one of these little ones," referring to innocence rather than size or naivete, "you shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Western and Christian man has sensed this importance. The modern world does everything to distract us from this simple truth--that innocence, which gave us indelible soul-shifting experiences and true happiness, naturally matures into wisdom. We can see the drive to destroy this innocence in children expressed in the homosexual and transgender agendas. What hardness of heart and darkness of intention would lead regulations and policies that would introduce the world of impurity to the hearts of the pure? Only God can say.

As for our part, we need to steel our resolve by reminding ourselves the happiness we experienced in our time of innocence and how this is important for a child to experience that he may start and end his life always seeing God in his creation, in society and in his Church.

If innocence were preserved in children and guided to grow into wisdom, how much superior society would be?

The many faces of love - sibling bonding

Many times the modern family becomes so bogged down by the allure of modern technology and entertainment that we have relied on them entirely to build familial bonds. Much to the chagrin of many parents, children end up preferring to spend more time with gadgets than the parents themselves, much less the rest of the family. Older siblings don't see the value of truly bonding with their younger siblings. Many parents have lost the art of captivating the attention of their children. 

Without a doubt this is one of the common symptoms of the modern family. Uncorrected, it will eventually contribute to the dissolution of familial bonds. 

How precious were those moments when children hung on every word of the stories being told. Now, instead, and sadly, they sit mesmerized by the TV, computer or game console. 

In defending Holy Matrimony, it's necessary not to lose this custom and if lost strive to restore it. Man is a creature of habit. Habits can always be formed or forgotten. Leisure time focused on something simple is important to form lasting familial bonds. 

The true union bonded by marriage

Modern man has transformed everything into a pure economic contact. In the family, it became a trend in some circles to pit husbands and wives in a Marxist class struggle.

In holy matrimony, what exists is not class struggle but a natural and mutual caring that issues from two individuals who have vowed to be as one flesh.

Why does the persecution have to come?

This quote from George Orwell explains a process in human society that the good always tends to forget. There will always be an irreconcilable hatred for the good. Evil pretend to ask for tolerance but in reality seek to abolish all voice of opposition.

How Same-sex "Marriage" Affects You 101

How Same-sex "Marriage" Affects You?

Many are told that this doesn't change anything in society. Everything will be like before but now homosexuals can get married and divorced just like everybody else.

What is neglected regarding this question is the cascading effect of bad laws and in this case Judicial Legislating.

One thing that is affected across the board are businesses. All businesses are governed by the Commerce laws.

With one strike of the pen, or rather five, Supreme Court judges have doomed all companies who refuse to recognize this immoral behavior.

How does same-sex "marriage"affect you?

As we've always suspected, the last stage of this process is religious persecution.

They'll force the Catholic religion and other Christian denominations to "bless" their "union". Putting the true followers of Christ in a moral dilemma. Abandon the moral principles of Christianity or disobey the law and suffer punishment.

From their point of view, if the Constitution gives them the right to be "equal" to everybody else, then no church should be able to deny them practicing their constitutional right in any church (i.e.the right to force a priest marry them)

While not all churches and faiths oppose the sin of homosexuality, the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ clearly does.

All the ingredients necessary to make a pot of religious persecution are already here.

We must resist by holding strong to our belief in Christ's teachings and the Christian values that gave birth to our people.

Patron Saint of Marriage

The great St. John the Baptist was beheaded because he opposed Herod's invalid marriage.

Many people are wondering how much we have to oppose the imposition of same sex "marriage?"

Let St. John the Baptist inspire you. Let the martyrs inspire you. Let the Passion and Death of Christ inspire you.

We don't fight because it's easy and popular. We fight because God and our country deserves heroic people who will die for them to diminish the offenses against the first and to preserve the honor of the second.

The danger of 50 Shades for the family

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/50-things-you-should-probably-know-about-50-shades-of-grey

Porn and the culture of Porn are both destructive to the family. Nothing justifies the sin of watching porn or material suggestive of porn.

This type of culture will creep into our children's hearts and minds. The more popular it gets, the more pernicious it becomes. Like the chemical behavior of osmosis, individuals cannot be hermetically sealed from human society.

As with all things evil, it's not enough to avoid it, we need to express disgust, repulse and execration. This is the only method to fight against filth like this.
