Looking for a Breadth of Fresh Air

A CINOP (Catholic in Name Only Politician) who sets aside the 10 commandments, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Natural Law is in serious trouble. Why sell his soul for that kind of politics? He is a knowledgeable person and has leadership qualities. We want and need him to protect the family and life in America, and because on our side there is a serious problem with fortitude and leadership.
It is said that we live in a post Christian America. Let us live with it and do the best we can. This is wrong. This is not the way. The role model for all Christians, in particular clergy and laity is the life of Pope John Paul II. Study his messages and his public actions. He spoke out fearlessly against the culture of death in Eastern Europe and Russia. He was marked for death. He was no wimp. Atheistic communism crumbled in those countries and with only minor violence. We can do the same with the culture of death (a term coined by the Pope) in America. We need truth. Justice is truth in action.
The great hurdles are money, media, entertainment and academia. For example, they finance the legislators who voted for SB. 1427. The legislators are out of their minds. Let us take a look at the website of www.Catholicsforthecommongood.org.:
“SB 1437 would prohibit any materials, discussions or activities that would reflect adversely on homosexual or transgender people, which includes their lifestyles… In fact, it would prevent discussion of the natural family with a married mother and father as the foundation of our society and the best environment for children to receive a good start in life. SB 1437 would further undermine parents’ rights and responsibilities to educate their children according to their religious or moral beliefs regarding marriage. This blatant promotion of a special interest agenda would be fully integrated into the core curriculum and school activities.” This is not respect and love for all. This is not life. This is death for our children and country. Call Governor Schwarzenegger. Register your opposition to SB 1437 on his automated opinion tracking system calling (916) -445-2841 # 2
Married love is the primary model of God’s love for humanity. Pope Benedict said in an address last week, and it is the only foundation strong enough to support a society “that can be home to all human beings.” Vatican City, May 15/06 LifeSiteNews.
Yet marriage is viciously attacked and undermined by rogue judges. There is an absolute need to come out with one voice by every single person and shepherd that The Marriage Protection Amendment be passed by the U.S. Senate during the week of June 5th.
It may be our last chance. It is a thorn and scandal that the CINOP is not on our side.
In closing: Today’s Office of Readings (Liturgy of the Hours) would be quite appropriate. From the Book of Revelation, 21:1-8 – “To anyone who thirsts I will give to drink without cost from the spring of life-giving water…. As for cowards and traitors to the faith, the depraved and murderers, the fornicators and sorcerers, the idol-worshippers & deceivers of every sort – their lot is the fiery pool of burning sulphur, a second death”
From a letter to Diognetus: “Christians are indistinguishable from other men either by nationality, language or customs….Their teaching is not based upon reveries inspired by the curiosity of men ….They pass their days upon earth, but they are citizens of heaven. Obedient to the laws, they yet live on a level that transcends the law. Christians love all men, but all men persecute them.”
