We will not bow down before your false gods...
Unjust Laws Are No Laws At All
In his Encyclical Letter Annum Sacrum, No. 10, Pope Leo XIII warned
that, "In these latter times especially, a policy has been followed
which has resulted in a sort of wall being raised between the Church and
civil society. In the constitution and administration of States the
authority of sacred and divine law is utterly disregarded, with a view
to the exclusion of religion from having any constant part in public
life. This policy almost tends to the removal of the Christian faith
from our midst, and, if that were possible, of the banishment of God
Himself from the earth. When men's minds are raised to such a height of
insolent pride, what wonder is it that the greater part of the human
race should have fallen into such disquiet of mind and be buffeted by
waves so rough that no one is suffered to be free from anxiety and
peril? When religion is once discarded it follows of necessity that the
surest foundations of the public welfare must give way, whilst God, to
inflict on His enemies the punishment they so richly deserve, has left
them the prey of their own evil desires, so that they give themselves up
to their passions and finally wear themselves out by excess of
liberty."
This punishment, this chastisement, is in evidence everywhere in the
latter times. A judge in Kentucky, drunk with what he perceives as
"power," and enamored with himself, holds a Christian woman in
"contempt" for not being obedient to an unjust law and for refusing to
bow before his ego.
This is, of course, an exercise in complete nonsense and madness. As human beings, we possess only contingent rights, those which have been given to us by God. There can never be a "right" to choose that which is evil. And homosexual acts are evil.
When moral liberty is detached from Natural and Divine Law, it degenerates into license. Pope Leo XIII reminds us in his Encyclical Letter Libertas Humana that, "Liberty, the highest of natural endowments, being the portion only of intellectual or rational natures, confers on man this dignity - that he is 'in the hand of his counsel' and has power over his actions. But the manner in which such dignity is exercised is of the greatest moment, inasmuch as on the use that is made of liberty the highest good and the greatest evil alike depend. Man, indeed, is free to obey his reason, to seek moral good, and to strive unswervingly after his last end. Yet he is free also to turn aside to all other things; and, in pursuing the empty semblance of good, to disturb rightful order and to fall headlong into the destruction which he has voluntarily chosen...
Therefore, the nature of human liberty, however it be considered, whether in individuals or in society, whether in those who command or in those who obey, supposes the necessity of obedience to some supreme and eternal law, which is no other than the authority of God, commanding good and forbidding evil. And, so far from this most just authority of God over men diminishing, or even destroying their liberty, it protects and perfects it, for the real perfection of all creatures is found in the prosecution and attainment of their respective ends, but the supreme end to which human liberty must aspire is God."
Although a great physical chastisement is coming because of man's rebellion and his rejection of God's Law of Love (John 14: 15), we are already experiencing a moral chastisement. Witness how quickly sodomy, which was a crime in many states, has been legitimized by judicial fabrication into a constitutionally protected form of "liberty."
Such moral blindness is a punishment from God as Saint Paul explains, "The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness...they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While proclaiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man...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." (Romans 1: 18, 21-25).
Human laws are incapable of sanctioning anything which is not contained in the eternal law. This is crystal clear Catholic teaching. There is no room for doubt. All other "laws" are unjust and are, therefore, not laws at all. And Catholics are not bound to obey them. In fact, Catholics have a duty to resist them. As I mentioned in a previous post, "Any law supportive of same-sex 'marriage' is no law at all. This because any law which is promulgated must correspond to the divine law. No human authority can declare what is morally evil to be morally good. Laws permitting slavery, abortion, euthanasia, divorce and "marriages" between persons of the same gender are immoral, and therefore unjust (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, q. 96, a.5)."
In Kentucky a theater of madness is playing out. And this sick production is, or will be soon, being reenacted all across this nation. This because there is no shortage of fools who are willing to expose their stupidity for all the world to see.
These fools of darkness are enraged because a Christian remnant, accompanied by other people of good will, simply refuses to worship at the altar of what Pope Benedict XVI rightly referred to as the Dictatorship of Relativism.
We will not adore their false gods. And this makes them burn with rage.
