Exactly. It's called systematic desensitization, like what happens to a child when they are exposed to violent or pornographic images over and over again, they are no longer repulsed or shocked. The homosexual activists use this method too as do many others advancing an anti God agenda.
Combine that with the ignorance of basic Church teaching that is quite common today, plus a false notion of obedience, "if it comes from the diocese, my priest, a religious, the bishop, the Pope etc. it must be OK" even if it goes against everything traditionally taught as Catholic and our better judgment; the sheep will be easily lead astray. The evil one is very clever.
--the Evil One is very clever--
Yep...this is true.
Made me think another way, too...get people so mad that when the Bishop says something he ought to, they get in rebellion. Get people so crazy they'll follow any teaching, and they go off the deep end.
What a clever devil...but I still trust in God's promises...the gates of hell will not prevail, although they are trying very hard right now!
