From my pastor, on Catholic Schools

From Fr. Don, in the bulletin for St. Clare's Church in Portland, OR.  The Archdiocese is being attacked in the media for the information in this link. 

I want to re-emphasize what I wrote about last week: the recent media articles about Catholic schools. I was personally at the meeting with the archbishop that got all this media storm started and I don’t expect any changes here at St. Clare School. In spite of what the media is trying to imply, the bishop is NOT asking us to go to a “classical education” model, nor is he asking us to make changes in our gender policy: we have always treated a person in a girl’s body as a girl and a person in a boy’s body as a boy. That’s not new and I don’t think it’s radical. St. Clare School is an outstanding school that loves and supports every student and we will continue our long-standing tradition of nurturing the spiritual and educational development of the whole child.

How to win, politically

 This post was originally written about the Presidential race in the United States, but it could easily be adapted in many of its planks to fighting back against the pornocracy at any level of government.

These are the party planks I want to see in a primary from *any* primary race.  You can easily tailor them to the jurisdiction you are running in.

- Be pro-life to the point of supporting unwed mothers and heterosexual marriage for parents of children between conception and age 21.  

- Eliminate bigotry against the unwanted and disabled in the forms of euthanasia, abortion, and transgender mutilation

- Fund marital counseling services to reduce and eliminate divorce.  

- Bring us a *workable* plan to start rolling back the Imperialistic financial aid and armed forces from the United States that the pornocracy has been using to push homosexuality, abortion, and birth control on the third world.

- God's Children are Not for Sale; repurpose those troops to freeing illegal slaves here in the United States and around the world.  End sex and labor trafficking with strong borders to interrupt the $150 Billion worldwide slave trade.

- Clean up the entertainment industry.  Strongly prosecute any and all producers or directors who use their position for the sexual abuse of women and men.

- End the free trade system that encourages 3rd world slave conditions in factories; use technology to manufacture goods as close to consumers as possible even when slavery would be more efficient.

- Tax retailers that sell slave origin goods to pay for it, this includes entertainment properties that profit off of soft porn created by abusive directors and producers.

- Return the rights of life, free speech, and the pursuit of happiness to the American lower classes, regardless of color of skin

- Make it entirely illegal to discriminate based on color of skin for anybody.

The only third party I see that could accomplish this, is the American Solidarity Party.  But if just ONE Democrat, and just ONE Republican, stood up to run in their respective primaries with eliminating the Pornocrats from their party platforms, 2024 would become a much different race.

What is Love?

Aging hippies claim that the reason the sexual revolution happened was because love got replaced in American culture with righteousness.

I disagree.  Love is an essential part of righteousness, and does not exist in the sexual revolution.

Let us begin with "what is Love?" For the righteous man, there can be only one answer: love is willing what is BEST for other people.

Thus sexual orientation, when not oriented to procreation, can never be love, but rather, abuse. Including heterosexual birth control and divorce, of course.

Abuse is not love.

This is not a reason to hate, it is a reason to mourn- mourn the loss of reason, the loss of the ideal agape love, that wills what is best for the other.

And thus mourn the loss of righteousness itself, in favor of something far less.
