“Why would God Chastise China?”

This may be another reason non-believers like to hate Christians.  Right in the middle of a great disaster and huge loss of life, that even secular media is calling apocalyptic, some religious person comes out with an article about God chastising China.   If indeed God was busy chastising China - the world ought to recognize the chastisement is meant for us as well.  What did our Lord say in the Gospel about the towers that fell?  “You will all come to the same end unless you repent.” 

“California Court Legalizes Same Sex Marriage.” 

And people are surprised?  The Court was divided- but the issue passed anyway - and if it goes to the US Supreme Court, I’m sure it will be thrown out.  The SS marriage issue is nothing more than an economic issue.  SSA couples simply want the legal rights heterosexual couples and their families enjoy - it’s not really about love.    In the American pantheon of idols; tax, health and monetary benefits, along with entitlements, are two of the most important.  (Even though Ellen was in love with Ann Heche, she will now wed Portia de Rossi, who is much prettier BTW.) 

“What’s with all the gay stuff?”

A question frequently asked here.  but just check out Lifesite News - there is always gay agenda stuff there.

That’s all.

When I wrote about the Cafeteria…

I did not want to expose Gerald to this.

(Actually, I’m pretty sure it isn’t my fault - but anyway…)  When he returned from Europe, he was surprised by all the negative email as regards his personal positions on gay people.  As a result, he is thinking of deleting his blog.  NO, no, no Amy Winehouse!  You keep going.

In a couple of previous posts here,  I pointed out the incongruity of Gerald’s “evolved” thought on gay people in order to demonstrate how easily our emotions, our friendships, even our marriages can affect our thinking.  In other words, how the gay agenda has infiltrated Catholic thought.  

We are all so immersed in the world that we easily become affected (infected) by worldly thought - which leads to compromise and permissiveness - even in the best of us.  This in no way implies Gerald is a bad Catholic - all of us can veer off track.  To demonize him is totally wrong.  If he holds views in opposition to Church teaching, then let him be admonished, but certainly not tarred and feathered.  People - we have bishops in office who are genuine heretics - keep a modicum of perspective.

I just can’t stand uber-Catholics dictating as if they are the new magisterium - which Gerald and other bloggers appeared to have done  many times - so when they derail, I may mention it here. 

Gerald is thinking of quitting the blog, so go tell him not to be such a puss.

Again, I doubt my posts had much to do with this controversy, RCblog  pretty much swept sweeps week with his rather intense expose (treatise) on the evils of CIC and everything queer.  Don’t ever tell me  ’me thinks she protests too much’, much less ask, ‘what’s with all the gay stuff?’ ever again.

So anyway - just because you disagree with a blogger, don’t demand their execution.  You realize blogs are simply the author’s (contributor’s ) opinion, right?  I mean, I never heard a Pope say, “Save this or that -  save the world” - yet some one with no real job or assignment repeats a similar mantra, and people think it is Church teaching.  Another guy tells you the Lord is telling him to do this or that on such and such day - fine - whatever - remember, a lot of these people do not have real jobs, they have nothing else to do!  (Just like me!  LOL!)  So remember what I always say - a blog is a blog is a blog - and Gertrude Stein was a dyke.
