I have linked to Mundabor’s protestation about the damnable and evil legalization of euthanasia, before. One his comments stands out. For we need to pray and beg forgiveness that this even happened in the West.
But it’s clear the Proddies have abandoned the front – most of them at least – far more tragically than the Only Church. When the shepherds do not lead, the sheep end up in the ravine.
…
I do not know much Proddieland. To me, they are conversion material.
The “Evangelical” seem to have a robust Christian spirit. As you say, wherever there are priestettes and bishopettes there can be no Christianity worthy of the name, merely a motley collection of emotional slogans.
It will get worse before it gets better.
The Blessed Virgin said as much in her apparition in Quito.
Hail Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Well, I’m not going to get into a Papist versus Proddie slinging match. We need to pray.
Hear what our Lord Jesus saith:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; but if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Seeing that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name.
Amen.
Let us not celebrate today, but instead confess our sins, that the error of the Nazis. to account some men and women as living lives that are not truly human and deserve death, is again among us.
UPDATE.
Ann Barnhardt wrote this recently: I am afraid that I agree with her.
Finally, we have far more guilt and culpability than any other culture because we WERE a Christian culture and turned our back on God with full knowledge and conscious forethought. The Romans of the 4th century were pagans who either knew very little or nothing at all of Christ. They had the Natural Law as their only guide. We, in the starkest of contrasts, have Christ Himself, physically present in the Eucharist, with our culture *allegedly* built on Him, and yet we have utterly denied and rejected Him and have reverted and descended all the way back to the worst pagan cultures, and in some ways have plumbed even greater depths of depravity. The only revolt that is worse in enormity and scope than ours against God is the revolt of Lucifer. Even the Jews of the Old Testament in all of their many episodes of falling away from God, didn’t have the knowledge of Christ (obviously, because the Incarnation had not yet happened) and did not have the Physical Presence of God Himself to be taken into their own bodies, in the Eucharist.
We have nailed Christ to the Cross, and when He looks at us and asks us why, we have the unmitigated gall to say, “It’s not my fault. I didn’t see You there. You should have spoken up.”
WE are going to burn like no other culture has burned before, including Rome, because we have, by far, the most guilt. Ignorance due to laziness in the face of unprecedented freedom and license, wealth and leisure time, potential education, technology and availability of information, and the knowledge of and physical presence of Christ Himself is why we must and we WILL burn. No one has ever, ever deserved it more.
What cannot continue, will not.
Do not live like the zombies live
In crisis, the best place to be is away from crowds.
And, it may be time to, like the Stylites did in the fall of the Roman Empire, leave Babylon.
Update II:
Sign the petition to King Philippe of the Belgians requesting that he not give the royal assent to this law.
