Lesbian, Vatican Websites, And the Unchecked Violation of Canon Law

Check out the link Lesbians and Vatcan Websites.The Church has one fundamental problem today. One which is at the core of all of the others. Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi, is no longer the first principle of of all of her work. Now in reality, it cannot change. The Law of prayer (rightly ordered worship of Christ the King) will always inform the law of belief. If worship ceases to be fitting, if it ceases to be rightly ordered, if the mass, say was to look more like what you might find in a protestant ecclesial community, if in principle it were to break from Apostolic tradition, and the true theology of the Church, well, then the law of belief would very likely be thrown into a state of chaos and flux. Which would likely lead to a crisis of faith and of course the practical manner in which the faith was lived out would cease to be Catholic in nature. That is exactly where we find ourselves today. The vatican is overrun not just by modernists, but by homoheretics. They are clearly everywhere in the heirarchy and the priesthood. Which is why we find a Catholic priest saying things like:"Church Sexual Morality Is in Motion.""increasingly perceived in its personal and holistic dimension.""There has been a move away from a traditional understanding of the sexual act as procreative towards a more personalistic view, Lintner continues, and it's this mediation between the two different views of sex that is "difficult" with regard to homosexual acts. He claims the Synod on the Family has evidenced a "rethinking" of the Church's approach toward homosexuals."PhilosophicallyFr. Lintner is indeed either a modernist or a homoheretic. There can be no other explanation. We can pretend that he is innocently incorrect in his understanding of the Church's teaching on marriage and the moral law, however, that would be to reject his humanity. He has an intellect and a will. To my knowledge neither are defective. To make arguments against the "traditional understanding" one must at least banally know what that understanding is. Those are what we used call in police work, clues.  When a priest presents solemn nonsense and he says that the "traditional" things are changing, it tends to mean that he knows at least basically what they are, he does not prefer them (that is in the will), and he is going to present you with an alternative.The natural moral law, or what Fr. Lintner calls "Church sexual morality" is not in "motion." The Church's teaching on human sexuality derives from her understanding of the human person. An understanding rooted first in the natural moral law and the reality of things."Now some people think everything just is MERELY LEGAL. For the NATURAL IS UNCHANGABLE AND EQUALLY VALID EVERYWHERE-fire, for instance burns both here and in Persia." Aristotle ~Nicomachean EthicsThe great pagan philosopher Aristotle understood that any law that men made had to first correspond with the natural law. The law of things as they are written into the universe. If a government or anybody for that matter were to make a law that rejected what could be known from reason, which did not correspond with the "unchangeable" natural law, which is legally valid and binding on every human being everywhere, that law would be indeed unjust. Reality has order. You and I would be dead if the Sun did not help plants to grow. Because plants produce oxygen and food for other animals. As a result, we are able not only to breathe, but to forage for food, whether it be plants or other animals. And of course, thanks to the Sun, the earth is warm enough to support life. You could reject all of that order, but you would have to make yourself stupid.Philosophically, morality is not in motion. Men and women who are a part of the created order are biologically designed in a specific manner. By nature their bodies are ordered to each other as an end. And the end for which they are ordered is unitive, procreative and the education of those little procreations. If nature had intended for two men or two women to have babies, it seems to me, 1% of the population would not be struggling with the disorder of same sex attraction, rather, 1% of the population would be struggling with the disorder of opposite sex attraction. Quite simply, same sex attraction is an imperfection, but one that can be overcome, once it is accepted as a disorder. Every sin is a disorder. Fornication is a disorder, adultry is a disorder. To overcome them, we have to take the first step, which is honestly evaluating ourselves and our actions and giving them their proper name. If the act of two men or two women pleasuring each other was natural it would be for the good of the species, not for personal pleasure alone. If it were natural, human beings by nature would be drawn to it. Long before Aristotle, humanity would have drawn to a close, as a result of the lack of human beings to populate the world. We can choose to pleasure ourselves by any means we want. However, that does not make the means a good, nor does it make it natural. For something to be good it must correspond with the dignity of the human person, we cannot call something good that obviously rejects the natural biological order of the human body. This is akin to saying that though my car is not ordered to flight, I am going to drive it off of this cliff. The expectation that there would be no damage done to your car, or your body for that matter (Since you are not ordered to flight either) would be utterly irrational. The only motion of sexual morality, is a movement away from what is natural, true, good, and beautiful.When Fr. Lintner says that it will be increasingly "PERCEIVED in it's personal and holistic dimension." Perceived is an enlightenment buzzword. When a Catholic uses this word as a synonym for truth. You can be certain, of one thing, he is anything but a Catholic in thought and he is not about to tell you the truth. This word is a Descartes buzzword. Descartes, did not believe that our external senses (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing) could be trusted to discover the reality of things around us. He believed that they brought only uncertainty. He frequently spoke of what we perceive, rather than what is. Truth then is relegated to the perception of individual human persons. It is a mental construct of the individual. Two problems with that little bit of philosophical nonsense. These folks never live that way. They generally proclaim their perceptions as truth. Has Fr. Lintner not done this? His perception that sexual morality is in motion is juxtaposed against the traditional understanding. He presents one as if it were more true or more good than the other. He wants to teach us that there is no unchanging natural moral law which we can know and as a result are bound to. In his world everything is in flux. But if we cannot trust our senses, one wonders, why should anyone trust his?Problem number two with his little perception is truth spiel. It professes a truth, while denying that truth is universal. These poor stupid ideologues, have to live with this contradiction everyday. Sidebar: Point it out to them when you can. Ask them if they believe in universal truth. I do it all the time. They generally say no. When they do, ask them to give you a good reason for why you should pay them any attention, if there is no universal truth, what need have you of their perceptions? You have your own. Continuing, if his perception is true, why isn't the traditional perception equally true? Why can't we both be right? The ideologues, will have no part of it. They deny truth exists, while attempting to force you to accept their personal mental constructs as if they were universally true according to the laws of nature. It is asinine fatuity. And you ought reject it on it's face!Theology and the LawFr. Lintner ought to know (if he doesn't he is at fault) that the law of the Church regarding marriage is unchangeable. Not because the Church hates anyone, but because, the Church calls all men and women of good will to live a fully human life in union with and subordinate to the witness of Her King, Jesus Christ. A life rooted in the truth of the natural moral law and the divine revelation of Jesus Christ. If Fr. Lintner is not aware of this, we can only attribute it to a faulty will. He is after all a priest of Jesus Christ and he has clearly assumed a position of teaching authority. In doing so, he is speaking on behalf of Christ and the Church. His obligation is to speak the truth in charity. He clearly knows that there is a traditional teaching on marriage and he is choosing to put forward something entirely different.To summarize. The Old Testament begins with begetting. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, bring everything into existence from nothing. In unity and divine love, they freely bring forth the entire order of created things, including a man and a woman, and they bind themselves through a covenant to Adam and Eve. They were created to image God. They were given a mind to know the truth about reality and a will to choose the good. But, they are also an image of the love of the Holy Trinity. The union of man and woman, and their procreative power are a participation in God's free creation of the universe and right ordering of it. Men and women, are free to bring forth life and then to rightly educate those children so, that they may grow in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and charity in the Lord. Scripture begins with the creation of and subsequent marriage of a man and woman. Not two men, not two women. A man and a woman, there is not fornicating, no adultry. Sounds a bit like the natural law. They are able to bring forth children from this union. God later reveals the natural law to Moses in the 10 commandments. These are things that we can know from reason alone. Children need a mother and a father to raise and educate them. And children ought to honor their mother and father (male and female). Men and women ought to be faithful to each other in marriage. Infidelity, adultry, fornication, same sex unions are not faithful to the marriage bond. And of course there is Sodom and Gmorrah.Jesus fulfills the work of the Father. In creation, the Father wrote into reality both the biological unity of man and woman, and the supernatural unity of man and woman in marriage. Jesus elevates the bond of a man and a woman in marriage to a sacrament or a holy covenant, through which His grace will flow. He says:"Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one? So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder." Mt. 19: 4-6Jesus in union with the Father, clearly defines marriage. As I always say when we have a good definition, we know exactly what a thing is not. It is not divorce, fornication, or sodomy. St. Paul who fully understood this definition and encountered during his time in Rome, not some "progressive" manner of living, but rather, a disorder, which was contrary to the natural law and to the law of Christ given by his lips in the gospel said:"Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about god for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen! For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. their women exchanged NATURAL relations for UNNATURAL, and the men likewise gave up NATURAL relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their ERROR." Rom. 1: 24-27So, Christ says in accord with the manner in which things were created the manner in which you will most fully achieve human freedom is to act in accord with your nature. St. Paul seems to concur. The result of rejecting your nature in favor of "unnatural" relations, is a life of misery bound to pleasure. Your destiny is to live like a heroin addict seeking it's next fix. A life turned in on itself seeking only your own "personal" pleasure. If it feels good do it. Nothing in the gospel about that commandment, nor in the history or tradition of the Church. It would seem that the moral teaching of the Church is unchangeable like the natural law. The Code of Canon Law defines Marriage in this way:Can. 1055 1. "The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring, has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament between the baptized."Can. 1056 "The essential properties of marriage are unity and indissolubility, which in Christian marriage obtain a special firmness by reason of the sacrament."I am beginning to believe that Fr. Lintner along with Cardinal Kasper may not be very honest men. At the very least they are incompetent to hold their positions as teachers of the Catholic Faith. The code goes on to give specific instruction about the pastoral care that a Pastor is to give the faithful:"Can. 1063 Pastors of souls are obliged to take care that their ecclesiastical community offers the Christian faithful the assistance by which the matrimonial state is preserved in a Christian spirit and advances in perfection. This assistance must be offered especially by: 1. Preaching, catechesis adapted to minors, your, and adults, and even the use of instruments of social communication, by which the Christian faithful are instructed about the meaning of Christian marriage and about the function of Christian spouses and parents."In other words, when the homoheretics preach a gospel contrary to that of the Church they violate the code of canon law. Where are the swift hammers that were swung to drive the FFI's out of existence? Mercy demands that they be swiftly and justly dealt with they are rejecting their canonical duties for the care of souls. They teach what is contrary and they even use the Church's instruments of social communication. The canon demands that Pastors teach the "meaning of Christian marriage and about the function of Christian spouses and parents." But men like Fr. Lintner (as we know there are many in the Church today) utterly reject it in favor of the archaic views of sinful men. There is nothing new and progressive about man's inability to control his sexual desires. Moses talked about divorce, Abraham slept with Haagar, and Solomon had a handful of concubines. None of this is "progressive" morality. It is the failure of man to know himself, and to seek a life of discipline, self control, and most importantly virtue. Fr. Lintner is preaching a gospel of vice. The gospel of pleasure seeking. Not a single word in the gospel from Jesus or anyone else about making sure you are pleasured above all things. They preach a gospel that says divorce is ok, marriage without babies is fine by us, and men can trade the natural relationship for the unnatural all in the name of "perception" as the highest good. They preach pleasure, without the use of reason. They preach a human nature that is banal and divorced from it's true dignity and high calling.First and foremost pray for these men. Pray fervently. But be bold. When you run into one of them, have no fear of confronting him. Ask for St. Anthony's intercession, he is after all the Hammer of Heretics. Prayer is necessary, action is to. Confrontation is not evil, it is necessary. Christ's teaching on marriage was confrontational. His encounter with the woman at the well was confrontational, his confrontation with Peter when he rejected the cross was necessary, His encounter with the rich man was confrontational, and of course he once fashioned a whip. He did go out into the world, he did dine with sinners, he did love everyone and desire their salvation. He did not force a soul to convert. Not a single soul. He confronted the culture, he lived counter to it. Everyone could see he was different. The apostles followed Jesus in "fear and awe" the gospel of Mark tells us. He was not of the world. He did not come to dish out soup and give blankets. He came to free us from our sinful rejection of truth and our desire to bind ourselves like the lower animals to the pleasures of the flesh. He confronted the nonsense and he did it in charity. Be bold, live in reality, and be holy!Pray the Rosary Daily!Be Holy, Not Worldly!Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on Us!
