This is not a Happy Fourth of July

In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - July 3rd, 2013

 

For our nation this is not a Happy Fourth of July. There are serious consequences to recent Supreme Court decisions and the death culture overwhelming our society. False causes are on the move. However,  "We recognize our duty - to defend innocent life - to uphold natural marriage - to maintain religious freedom. It is a duty, so help us God, we will fulfill."

 

In America, political correctness has evolved into the promotion of a culture of death values which I will list in other letters. Political correctness has become a two-faced monster promoting the philosophy of secular progressivism, a false national secular religion which is also unconstitutional. 

 

Sadly, if you want to change the definition of marriage, it follows that you can change the  definition of everything; the 10 commandments, truth, common sense and natural law.

 

Today's meditation in Benedict XVI's book "Co-Workers of the Truth" hits the nail on the head.

 

"In his Letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul found himself confronted with precisely this question. The Apostle's answer to the metaphysical and moral cynicism of a decadent society ruled only by the law of power is astounding. He asserts that in reality they know about God: "... What can be known about God is plain to them" (Rom 1:19)

 

"He supports his statement by pointing out that "Ever since the  creation of the world his [God's] eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made" (" (Rom 1:20). Paul concludes from this that they are therefore "without excuse" (ibid.)

 

"The truth was available to them - demands such as the worship of God and the giving of thanks (Rom 1:21) The moral corruption of society is for is for Paul but the logical consequence and the exact mirror-image of its fundamental  perversion.

 

"When we place our own will, our own pride, our own comfort above the demands of truth, it is inevitable that everything will fall ultimately into decay. God, to whom worship is due, will no longer be worshipped: instead, images, appearances, the prevailing point of view will hold humanity in thrall.

 

"What is contrary to nature will become the norm; the individual who lives contrary to truth, lives contrary to nature.  His ingenuity will no longer be at the service of what is good, but will be used instead to devise original and artful forms of wickedness.

 

"The relationship between husband and wife, between parents and children, will be dissolved and the source of life will consequently be thwarted. It will no longer be life that has dominion, but death; a civilization of death will be established (Rom 1:21-32)." GEORGE H. KUBECK
