It has been a long strange month

 And the civil war I've been predicting for the past 9 months, started yesterday with a young veteran shot dead by the police in the Capitol Building of the United States.

In response, because of course she went there, a liberal on Patheos tried to claim part of the problem is EWTN and its embrace of the fullness of Catholic Social Teaching- including pro-life and horror of horrors, judging people on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

Here we go Again, separating pro-life from all other social justice issues.  Here is my response:

Cohabitation and birth control creates poverty, inequality, racism, and war.

Fixed that for you. The strange part is that it is actually true.

Cohabitation and birth control lead to the the evil abuse known as divorce. The biggest correlation with poverty in the United States is divorce and single parenthood. Do that for enough generations, as certain segments of certain minority populations have- and you get inequality, and where there is inequality, you get atheism and communism. Where there is atheism and communism, you get rebels against it like the ones that attacked the Capitol Building in Washington DC yesterday- on day one of the second United States Civil WAR.  It is impossible to enact socialism and communism without creating an out group that needs to be killed- and thus, genocide.

You cannot claim that the other social justice issues can be fixed without functional families. You cannot claim that it is the dysfunction in marriage of the last six generations of Americans is not the PRIMARY cause of social injustice.

And that doesn’t even come to the saddest victims of all- the unborn, the homosexuals, the transgenders, and the terminally ill- the four categories targeted for euthanasia by the eugenicists.

So no, you can’t just draw a line and say pro-life and procreation is not a social justice issue. Because it is where ALL social injustice starts- where all life starts, with conception.  And conception, rightly done, starts with Sacramental Marriage and following the sexual laws of the Church.
