2009 Countdown to a Catastrophe or Change We Can Believe In!  “I the Lord do not change.” Mal 3:6 – A Judeo-Christian nation would not “be-live” or vote for abortion, homosexuality or adultery.  If Adultery is right then God is wrong … If Homosexuality is right then Christianity & Judaism are wrong … If Abortion is right then all traditional religions are wrong … If contraception is right then Mother Nature is wrong.  

 

2009 – (06-08-09) - The Gospel According to Barack - David Gibson – Politics Daily - ”Saint Paul famously said he would be “all things to all men” (and women, when he was in equal rights mode) for the sake of his beliefs. That was no mean feat given that the missionary apostle was a strictly observant Jew who came to believe in Jesus as the Messiah and spent the rest of his days preaching to the pagans of the Roman Empire, which recognized him as a citizen. These days it seems that Barack Obama is channeling Paul.” 

 

Traditionally, liberals have been more concerned about protecting animals than traditional values or people.  To date, an Endangered Species Act to protect US is nonexistent but two-headed monsters are more powerful than ever!  Given the nature of America’s socio-economic crisis, what could be more natural than a UNION between PETA and People for the Ethical Treatment of People?

Adultery and divorce are especially tragic for religious followers because religious love and fidelity are united with God, Jesus or the Holy Trinity where love never fails, dies, ends, changes or becomes selective.  Since God hates divorce, laws friendly to divorce are man-made.  If anyone should be surprised about friendly divorces and damages of social engineering it should probably be Jesus:  “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.’  But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” Mt 5:31-32  Have man-made divorce and gay marriage laws gone too far?  To be fair and equal one might need to get rid of God and the Bible or change them:  “Whoever divorces her wife causes her to commit adultery … “  “Whoever divorces his wife causes him to commit adultery … “  Since we’ve been assured by homosexuals and our experts that homosexuality is a natural and an honorable way of life, laws validating their beliefs proclaimed that God, the Bible and majority of Americans are wrong.  Do our luminaries have more wisdom than God?  “While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.  Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies.  They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions.  Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another.  Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own person the due penalty for their perversity.”  Rom 1:22-28  “You shall not have carnal relations with your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her … You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.”  Lv 18:20,22  Since majority of our luminary experts proclaimed Jewish and Christian teachings wrong, perhaps we should all join Ms. Oprah’s or President Obama’s church—his campaign comments about the Bible were very questionable and his support for homosexuality is definitely PC.  Likewise, Ms. Oprah seems very proud of her support for President Obama, cohabitation, homosexuals and other modern lifestyles.  After a rare show with Mr. O’Reilly, differences in their belief systems were quite obvious.  Ms. Oprah seems to believe in a world without judgment while Mr. O’Reilly seems to believe that judgment of behaviors is very important.  When it comes to abortion, homosexuality and adultery judging those behaviors as wrong is easy because fundamental religious laws are validated by our common sense, life’s experiences and information.  Since God is in charge of judging people, our job is quite easy:  “Hate the Sin and Not the Sinner.” (Mohandas K. Gandhi)

 

Swine Flu or Blue Flu?  Stay-at-home parents can’t call in sick.  Mothers who go on strike are mocked or replaced by scabs and family prostitutes.  Fathers who try to protect their families against adultery have been laughed out of most Family Law Courts.  By now, corrupt laws and experts are even guaranteed protection from “conservative” experts because of fear, intimidation, misinformation or professional courtesy.  Even many activists for Divorce Reform are not advocating for justice but for equal parenting and financial rights.  Fact that adulterous spouses are entitled to alimony payments should have been a red flag years ago.  To commit adultery in a moment of temporary insanity is not the same as premeditating the adultery and forcing all the victims to enjoy it for the rest of their lives.  Demands and rights to adultery?  After they’ve terrorized their families, most demand equal parenting rights only to make themselves look decent.  If their love was real, they would have never divorced and remarried—all men and women have a natural instinct to protect their spouses and children.  Because our basic instincts are being eroded, so are fundamental differences between right and wrong and therefore, distinction between those who have been wronged and their villains.  Nonetheless, since liberals and conservatives are outraged over various aspects of No-fault, it must be bad.  Many adulterous parents are very outspoken and upset over regulated access to their children, but few mention the inconvenient truth about their adultery and the hardship they’ve inflicted upon their original and blended families.  Some are not upset at all which only confirms their culpability and inability to feel or exhibit situation-appropriate emotions.  Needless to say, because all children (including those who are adopted) need to maintain a relationship with both of their natural parents, it is vital for existing No-fault custody arrangements to shift from serving best interests of adulterous parents to protecting the best interest of the child.  From a logical standpoint, pros and parents confused about their own love and responsibility are unable to love or care for themselves much less a child.  Unfortunately, with no-fault’s lengthy and legal protection of corruption, everyone has rights and protection except the victims.

 

Family Law Courts are the only courts in America where equal rights of victims and perpetrators not only empower adulterous spouses and marginalize ethical spouses but also force children to embrace betrayal, abandonment, adultery or cohabitation and homosexuality as honorable lifestyles.  Are we surprised that truth and justice are no longer applicable?  Except in rare cases, every ethical parent has fought against “no-fault injustice” and lost.  Despite guaranteed loss, countless courageous souls are fighting to this day.  It’s shocking that the AMA, ABA and APA allowed such negligence to go on only because ethical adults have less clout than adulterous or con-fused adults who demand equality instead of justice, truth and responsibility.  Needless to say, once adultery gained equality and popularity, homosexual equality became a mere formality.  While some activists still ignore adultery or homosexuality and only focus on abortion, outcome of their efforts would be more successful if they would start by closing the gates of hell—No-fault divorce!  Ending injustice and violations of ethical parental authority will not make US nor the US perfect.  It will begin to make our blunders honest, responsible and loving.  As such, even if we regain our sanity and integrity, an unmarried woman sporting a baby bump will always be a sad reality but not a fashionable one! 

 

 

Although we often believe that our quest for love, truth and justice comes in many packages, the opposite is true because love and justice can be verified logically, religiously, emotionally and physically.  In fact, if majority of us would search deeper than the superficial norms allowed by pressure of life, time, money or relationships, our search for truth and justice would end.  In time, so would our society’s crisis.  Unfortunately, even though many people have already found genuine love, their spouses or children and friends might prefer to stay lost.  Likewise, many of our experts or luminaries have never given up on truth and justice in their own lives and in their service to our society or nation.  Unfortunately, most people in our society still continue to be oppressed by our laws or depressed by their mates, dishonored by their children or manipulated by their friends and colleagues.  Consequently, singles still have a good chance to escape today’s norms and maintain stability.  On the flip side, finding a stable mate is becoming difficult and at times, dangerous.  Fortunately, families with two stable and natural parents might be the only survivors but even their days are numbered.  For the rest of us, simplicity is no longer an option—some of us are single parents, others are in the process of a divorce while other families were mutilated by No-fault long ago.  Despite expert claims to the contrary, logic dictates that taking “good” care of one’s family and financial obligations does not leave much time or energy for hobbies much less another person’s hubby or wife.  In fact, if one does take “good” care of one’s family, one will not desire much else.  Similarly, any man, woman or child unfortunate enough to be a member of a blended family will eventually manage to smile on the outside but internal turmoil of normal needs compounded by the needs of blended violated families is unnatural, harmful and harsh.  Consequently, blended families are in greater need of help and compassion than stable-natural families.   

 

To say that majority of American families are in trouble would be an understatement.  To claim that our laws did not create our society’s crisis and undue suffering would be illogical and negligent.  Increase in teen sex is not accidental.  Hazards of life after 18 are tragic—having to choose between sex or no dates is not a prelude to love–it is a recipe for a disaster.  Using abortion as birth control is a reality.  It is tragic but common for fathers to give up God to embrace a homosexual child’s lifestyle.  A mother’s agony over forcing her children to enjoy their father’s adultery is a tragic reality mandated by our laws and pros.  A father in tears over loss of his adulterous wife and innocent children is an agony one would not wish on one’s worst enemy.  Mysteriously, adulterous men and women who seduce mothers and fathers away from their families consider family prostitution as more noble than street prostitution.  Since all of us are suffering and paying for the damages caused by No-fault, it is the most dangerous law in modern history.  The only ones who are loving it and defending it are adulterous men and women or desperate and con-fused victims conditioned by our trends, laws or pros to ignore or enjoy abuse.  By now, most victims hate divorce as much as God hates divorce.  Consequently, because physical reality is much easier to validate than spirituality, there is a greater and indisputable necessity to treat adultery as a “civil” crime more than a “religious” one—after all, to betray, violate and scar those entrusted to our care is the third gravest crime after murder and physical abuse or rape.  When it comes to crime, our leaders, laws and trends are frightening—abortion is not murder, legal administration of a lethal injection is not murder and intentional murder of the elderly is somewhat under consideration.  Murder is not the only word that has been sanitized and distorted—gay, choice and the pill seem to condone and legitimize endless disorders.  While majority of us mostly associate abortion or contraception with women, men’s culpability speaks for itself.  So does truth—not one man or woman can deny that contraception violates natural cycles of life while abortion violates life itself.  Similarly, no one can deny that all divorces violate natural bonds of life while homosexuality violates God’s and nature’s laws of life.  For God to be a loving God, He must be just.  Similarly, justice or discernment between right and wrong is an innate need of every individual and society.  Just like God, all moral laws of life are less about punishment and more about protection of individuals and society—most importantly, protection of those who are most vulnerable and defenseless—children and the elderly.   Needless to say, until our government offers protection against the Big 3 violations within our society, discussion about other endless violations is pointless because of the mental and physical distortion caused by the Big 3. 

 

To date, only those who are misinformed or those who enjoy modern cycles of abuse will still deny the sad reality of legal injustice.  Needless to say, every liberal will ALWAYS have his or her right and proof while ”we the people” pay the price.  Consequently, innocent spouses and children will continue to be violated by toxic spouses and professionals as well as by courts of public opinion.  Naturally, our society’s crisis has nothing to do with individual shame or blame!  If anything, love, generosity, tolerance and intelligence of most Americans are as indisputable as America’s Beauty and Destiny.  If truth be told, most of us are in trouble because of our compassion and freedom—although unconditional love and unconditional tolerance is antonyms most of us are taught to be compassionate not aggressive, demanding or judging.  While judging a person and judging a behavior are also antonyms, liberal doses of brainwashing and corrupt laws eliminated common truths about judging, equality, liberty and even, common sense!  After all, differences between protection of the good things in life versus protection of bad things in life are quite elementary.  It’s tragic that experts and laws diminished our reasoning powers and medicated our pain—pain is Mother Nature’s alarm clock and should be taken seriously!  But then, what would happen to all the pharmaceutical giants if most of us would begin to heal naturally?  What would happen if those who cause oppression, suppression or depression were no longer empowered to enslave us?  Perhaps equality, liberty and common sense would be free to make a comeback! 

 

  

2008 – 04-17-08 – Pedophilia and the Pope - Sandy Rios – Townhall – “It’s true that many Catholic leaders, to their disgrace, ignored early reports and initiated a cover-up. If financial retribution can ever repay such betrayal, many archdioceses have been bankrupted by the scandal. The church, however slow, has made attempts to purge themselves of this sexual deviance with one notable—and perhaps fatal—flaw. We will rid the church of pedophile priests, said Pope Benedict on his flight to America. That’s good news except for one thing: the root problem among the priests was homosexuality, not pedophilia. Pedophilia is the attraction by adults to children, both boys and girls and the priest scandals have been, with few exceptions, man to boy.”

  

2008 – (04-05-08) - “‘Oil on the wounds’: A response to the ills of abortion and divorce” - US - Vatican – John Paul II Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in collaboration with the Knights of Columbus - His Holiness Benedict XIV: “The Church’s ethical opinion with regard to divorce and procured abortion is unambivalent and known to all: these are grave sins which, to a different extent and taking into account the evaluation of subjective responsibility, harm the dignity of the human person, involve a profound injustice in human and social relations and offend God himself, Guarantor of the conjugal covenant and the Author of life. Yet the Church, after the example of her Divine Teacher, always has the people themselves before her, especially the weakest and most innocent who are victims of injustice and sin, and also those other men and women who, having perpetrated these acts, stained by sin and wounded within, are seeking peace and the chance to begin anew.”       

   

2008 – (07-18-08) - 20/20: Sex in America – John Stossel Reports on Attitudes Towards and Laws Governing Sex: 7/18/08 – ABC News - ”Sex today is everywhere, from television and movies to the internet to images in ads and even store windows. It’s more in your face than ever before. But how big a problem is this?” 

 

2008 – (03-25-08) – A Civilization of Love: What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World  – Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson - ”Like the classical philosophers, the Catholic Church has always understood the family, not the individual, to be the most basic cell of the society. In fact, the Church goes a step further and sees the family founded on Christian marriage as a domestic church, with an indispensable role in evangelization and the formation of Christian character. The family stands at the center of building a culture of life, and the fate of all of humanity is intimately tied to it. For this reason, perhaps now more than ever, there is a need for Catholics to be witnesses of the beauty and indissolubility of authentic married love. Strengthening Catholic family life is one of the great contributions of our Order to society … The prevalence today of divorce, cohabitation, contraception and adultery can be traced, in part, to false ideas about the nature of human love and freedom, and even to false ideas about God. The central mystery of our faith and Christian life is the doctrine of the Trinity, which tells us that God is an eternal communion of divine Persons, a communion of love. Because we are created, as Genesis says, in God’s image and likeness, we are not merely isolated individuals but fundamentally in relationship with others. Moreover, who we are as men and women has its source in the Trinitarian mystery, and every person is created with an innate vocation to love. This reality has vast implications with regard to both our most intimate relationships and all of society.”

2007 – (09-23-07) – When Ties to a Parent Are Cut by the Other – Michael Winerip, The New York Times - ”Dr. Baker’s book is written in an academic style and sticks closely to the stories of the 40 adult subjects, ages 19 to 67, who describe being wrongfully manipulated by a parent. It is an attempt to take the sensationalism out of the subject. Accusations of such manipulation have been an issue during high-profile celebrity custody battles, like the ones involving Woody Allen and Mia Farrow and Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.” 

 

2007 - (09-11-07) – Power to the People – Laura Ingraham – Radio Personality & Author – “Ms. Ingraham calls on the American people to take back the phrase Power to the People from the anti-establishment groups of yesterday that, today, have made the country, according to Ingraham, a slave to fringe groups, political correctness, expanding bureaucracies, and our own consumerism.”

2006 – (06-16-06) – Fired for speaking the truth - Barbara Kralis – Renew America – “Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. fired Smith on June 15 because he spoke against sodomy during a local cable television round-table discussion. During a taped June 9 weekly-televised show, Smith told the program’s discussion panel that same-sex marriage was wrong and homosexuality was a deviancy.”  

 

2005 – (11-30-05) – Knights of Columbus Forced to Pay Damages to Lesbians for Refusing to Rent Hall for “Wedding” Reception – Terry Vanderheyden, LifeSiteNews – “When the Knights became aware that it was to be for a homosexual couple, they cancelled the booking.” 

  

2005 – (06-17-05) – Judicial Review – PBS NOW - Juju Chang:  And who gets to define which laws are good and which laws are bad? Who gets to define what judicial activism is? Dr. Scarborough:  Finally, the American people. And that’s why I’m engaged in this. My first love, Juju, is preaching the Gospel and I never, for the first 20 years of my ministry, envisioned that I’d be sitting here today talking about national political issues. But I finally concluded that while we were winning elections and mobilizing Christians to the polls we were still losing the cultural war because judges are striking down every effort we put forth to bring civility to the public place.”   

  

 

2005 – (02-18-05) – Restoring a Culture of Strong Marriages - Bridget E. Maher, Family Research Council - ”Marriage confers many social and economic benefits on children, adults, and society, but it has been severely weakened by feminism, the sexual revolution, and the population-control campaign. The breakdown of marriage over the past four decades has resulted in low rates of marriage, high rates of divorce, out-of-wedlock childbearing, and cohabitation … America needs to restore a culture in which monogamous, lifelong marriages are the norm and marriage between and a man and a woman is treasured as the safest and best haven for children.”  

2005 - (2-16-05) YES—ONCE AND FOR ALL— AMERICA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION - Don Feder, 2005, Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation … 1997-2009, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights - ”America was founded on the moral patrimony of the West—that Bible-based code called the Judeo-Christian ethic. Whether they do so out of malice or ignorance, those who attack the idea of a Christian America are really attacking this … Finally, we must ask if America is a Christian nation—in the sense that our laws still are shaped by Christianity. Alas, no.  A Christian (or Judeo-Christian) America would not have legalized abortion. It would not be inching toward euthanasia. It would not be on the verge of homosexual marriage. It would not have no-fault divorce, rampant promiscuity, state-sponsored illegitimacy, government-condoned pornography or any of the other myriad delights of a post-Christian culture … The choice isn’t Christian America or nothing, but Christian America or a neo-pagan, hedonistic, rights-without-responsibilities, anti-family, culture-of-death America.” 

  

2005 – (02-13-05) – When Sexuality Undercuts A Family’s Ties - Marc Fisher – The Washington Post – “Now Maya Keyes — liberal, lesbian and a little lost — finds herself out on her own. She says her parents — conservative commentator and perennial candidate Alan Keyes and his wife, Jocelyn — threw her out of their house, refused to pay her college tuition and stopped speaking to her.”    

 

2004 – Letter to the Other Woman - David Padfield, Church of Christ – “Several weeks ago Tonya E-mailed me and told me of her husband’s marital infidelity, and how her family’s life had been turned upside down. After nineteen years of marriage she discovered a secret mailbox full of romantic E-mails from you. She told me how he supposedly met you online, and presented himself as a single man, even though Mike now says you knew he was married all along. Tonya found it hard to believe that any woman calling herself a Christian would be involved with a married man. She said you have no clue as to how you hurt her family, including her extended family, and their spouses and children. I could almost hear her sobs and tears as she wrote about how her family had been torn apart by your illicit relationship with her husband … How can you be involved with a man who has so little regard for his own children? Is your need for male companionship so strong that you are willing to destroy innocent young lives to get what you need? How could you be in love with a man who is willing to allow his children to suffer so he can spend time with you?” 

 

2003 – (10-25-03) – Shut Up & Sing - Laura Ingraham – Conservative Book Club Review – “Meet the elites. They think you’re stupid. They think all freedom loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live — anywhere but near or in a few major cities — is an insipid cultural wasteland.”

2003 – (11-03-03) – Arrogance: Rescuing America From The Media Elite - PFOX Book Review – Bernard Goldberg – Author, Journalist & Political Commentator - ”Somewhere along the line too many otherwise smart liberals became entirely too illiberal. And that goes for liberal journalists, too. On gay issues, for example, they now revert to name-calling at the drop of a hat in order to shore up their own close-mindness and orthodoxy … Why should it always take turning the tables this way to see how obvious and how blatant the bias is? … Or maybe Diane and Barbara should just tell it like it is and say, We live in Manhattan. All of our friends are sophisticated and just about all of them are liberal, to one degree or another. And here in Manhattan – crossroads of the universe – we don’t think this subject of gay adoptions is all that controversial. So we’re going to put on a program with pretty much only one side. Sit back and enjoy the show.  At least it would be honest.” 

 

2002 – (05-2002) - Priestly Celibacy and Its Roots in Christ … Interview with Fr. McGovern – Christendom – “Father Thomas McGovern, a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei in Dublin, is the author of Priestly Celibacy Today.  He was interviewed recently by Register staff writer John Burger on issues about celibacy raised by the current sex abuse crisis.”

 

2002 – (02-25-02) – Why is it in the Government’s Interest to Save Marriages? - The Heritage Foundation – Michael J. McManus, Marriage Savers - ”As President of Marriage Savers, a national non-profit organization whose goal is to reduce the divorce rate, strengthen marriages and restore hope to children in distressed marriages I enthusiastically endorse House Bill 1301 Sponsored by Rep. Gary Hopper and Reps. Hills, Gillman, Graf, Stohl, Coos, Boyce, Roberge, Johnson and Matthew Quandt … This bill would permit no-fault divorce on grounds of irreconcilable differences for couples without minor children. However, if there are minor children, the person who wants a divorce would have to prove the other person is at fault having committed adultery, been arrested for a felony or been physically abusive. New Hampshire could lead America in reforming unilateral divorce.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1998 - (04-16-98) – What God Has Joined Together: The Annulment Crisis in American Catholicism - Robert H. Vasoli - ”The real scandal, though, is not simply in numbers, but that church marriage courts annul thousands of marriages that are actually valid according to Catholic teaching … But Rome has not smiled on the performance of U.S. Tribunals: of those psychological annulments appealed to Roman Rota (the Vatican’s highest marriage tribunal), more than 90% are overturned.” 

1997 – (04-15-97) – Shattered Faith - Sheila Kennedy – June 21, 2007 – Vatican reverses Kennedy ruling – Ex-congressman’s annulment voided – Andrea Estes, The Boston Globe – “Sheila Rauch Kennedy fought the annulment for 10 years.” … “The [annulment] process was very dishonest and it was a process in which I was being bullied, said Rauch Kennedy, referring to her treatment by the church. But I was very lucky. I had help from outside of the Archdiocese. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known about appealing to Rome and how to do it. I feel for the people who don’t get help.“  Shattered Faith    

 

1992 – (06-13-92) – Prevalence of Adultery – Catholic Doctrine – Fr. Paul A. Wickens - ”In our watered-down Christian society, adultery is not so socially scandalous as it once was. The liberal media regularly portray infidelity as some kind of romantic adventure—and often attempt to justify, and even encourage it. The sin of adultery is euphemistically called having an affair. In the civil law, divorce has become simplified and easy to attain. The notoriety of public figures who flaunt their adulterous behavior tends to break down respect for the institution of marriage and the virtue of purity. Scandal and bad example can be found everywhere, often even in the best of families. A wedding ring placed on the hand of a bride should send out a signal, loud and clear: She belongs exclusively to one man. So also the wedding band worn by the groom: He is no longer fair game. He belongs to one woman only. A respectable married man not only does not commit adultery, but also does not engage in looks, words and actions which may lead in that direction … A prudent married person does not bestow any type of affection on or give more than passing attention to members of the opposite sex which may ultimately lead to fatal consequences. Little by little, imprudent behavior can weaken one’s resolve to observe faithfully the marriage vows made before God. Adultery remains always a mortal sin. It is a direct violation of the Sixth Commandment. Even if this sin becomes prevalent in the world, its culpability is not thereby diminished. Anyone who dies having committed this sin—and dies unrepentant—will be subjected to eternal punishment in Hell.”     

 

1977 – Save Our Children, Inc. - Anita Bryant – Conservapedia – “Save Our Children, Inc. was a political coalition formed in 1977 in Miami, Florida to overturn a recently legislated county ordinance that banned discrimination in areas of housing, employment, and public accommodation based on sexual orientation.  The coalition was publicly headed by celebrity singer Anita Bryant, who claimed the ordinance discriminated against her right to teach her children biblical morality.” 

 

1973 - (01-22-73) – Roe v. Wade - Landmark Cases – “We … acknowledge our awareness of the sensitive and emotional nature of the abortion controversy, of the vigorous opposing views, even among physicians, and of the deep and seemingly absolute convictions that the subject inspires.” – Justice Blackmun (1973), majority opinion in Roe v. Wade
