In an article I read today on rawstory.com, Bill Donohue
reacted to the resent statement of the Holy Father about a “Gay Lobby” in the
Vatican. The statement by the Holy Father does not come as a surprise, really,
to many Catholics. Mr. Donohue said as much, “Look, it’s no secret. You've got a nest of priests. You have them
in the United States, you have them in seminaries, you have them in parishes-more
so in the past certainly today.” I, as a
seminarian in an undisclosed location, know firsthand of what I have refer to
as the “Gay underground.” It is
underground in the sense that is only spoken about in whispers, and only among
friends. In seminary there were those
whom we all but knew were of the “Gay lobby”, but it was something of which we
could do nothing. If we speak out we run
the risk of being punished in some form, up to and including being removed from
seminary. This punishment did not mean
they were protecting the “gay lobby”, at least not in every case, but rather
homosexuality was something to be unspoken off.
While I did not experience a direct endorsement of the behavior from
faculty, it was at least not dealt with firmly enough by some. So, it was a life of picking and choosing
battle. Seminary life has this feeling
of a C.I.A drama, always cautious of what you say, where you say it..And is my
room bugged? (Thanks allot Verizon).
I agree
with Mr. Donohue calling this “lobby’ a “nest”.
In my experience it really does work like a nest. What I mean is this, a lobby brings to mind
an organized set of individuals, all working and acting together. I imagine weekly or monthly meetings to
discuss the future plans and how the finances look. There is a call to order,
with each member having to be recognized.
“The chair acknowledges Mr. Smith.”
“Thank you speaker, I would like to call for a vote on amendment 141, of
the ‘how to act in seminary in order to not be caught” bill.” And so on… Rather
it is more like nest, like that of some aggressive creature. Yes, these creatures do hunt in pacts, and
are protected by their own, but it seems only at their local territory. There is no annual meeting and introducing
and passing bills and amendments. Rather
it is like minded men (and women), that simply unify. This is not to say the homosexual-the one
committing the act- is an animal, but rather acts like one in the sense that
they allow their passion to dominate them. To further clarify the point, any
man or woman that allows any passion to rule is in fact acting as an animal.
When tyrannical passion spreads and those infected unify, then no longer is it
an oddity, but a tumor. If left
unchecked it becomes cancer, and must be removed by the knife, and that is
painful. It should also be stated that these passion controlled people do have
a leader. This leader does indeed have many meetings, and does propose new
actions to take. He guides them to each
other, darkens there mind, closes their hearts to as much grace as possible in
order ti fill them with his own “dark Grace”.
The unseen leader who unofficially unifies all these people is Satan,
and he is manipulating God’s beloved children.
They are still created in the image of God, created by him, and in that
sense all are his, though some still need adoption by baptism in order to be
made fully his children. Yet, that is the point, the enemy wants to deny them
that grace. The enemy is intelligent,
and takes this more serious than we ever do.
So, like a good tactician, he goes after the leadership. The Father,
both spiritually and actually, is the head of the family. So the enemy, as he did in genesis, goes
after the one every man yields to, the woman.
In an actual family the good husband, though strong, tough, fearless, and
uncompromising bends at the slightest glace of his wife. She means so much to
him that he seeks her glance in all things, for what wars can he win without
his lady to fight for? If she does not
lay out his armor, shield, and sword for him, how will he hope to conquer? So
thus the enemy tempts eve. This is seen
in artificial birth control, Abortion, modern feminism, and so forth. This is also true in the Church by the
degradation of the religious orders. The
spirit of the world comes rushing in, and things like the habit are too
traditional. In place of a strong
religious presence, showing the world what a real woman and man is, we have
compromise, and oh, what’s wrong with that? Thus now we have cancer in the Church,
men being led into compromise, and into not being men. Women are now literally
being pillaged (have you seen an abortion?), there womanhood mocked by modern
feminism with its philosophy of wanting a woman to be a man. A woman must be a man by not having children,
having the same job as a man, wearing the same clothes as a man, acting in the
same way as a man, speaking the same way, and in the lesbian relationship
declaring men completely unnecessary while trying to be that very thing they
cannot be, a man. How can children learn
to be a man or woman, when their parents are only one sex? The growing tide of evil in the world can be
traced directly back to the lack of holiness in the Church. So no, it is not surprise, or secret that
there is a “Gay lobby” in the Church, simply looks at the world around us. Whatever sin is occupying, that is to say has
conquered, the world, the Church has not done enough to stop it. Yet, there is always hope, G. K Chesterton once
said, and I am paraphrasing, “Hope is hoping when all is hopeless, otherwise it
would not be a virtue”, and “Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.” I would say these last decades have been that
of surgery. The many scandals, and open
unceasing war against all things holy, has all been God and the scalpel. Now,
we come to the cancer itself, the corruption of the leadership. Once the Church has recovered form her
cancer, she will shine all the brighter, and her enemies better gut their fill,
the culling is near.
