It's nice to see this kind of language coming from Rome. Let's hope the Bishops Confrences don't employ their usual tapdance of issuing ambiguously contradictory statements or saying that it doesn't apply to them.
Not to ignore the other respectable posts that recognize the goodness in the words of Trujillo, I just don't have much time right now so I thought this, following, would be appropriate.
>>Asked about allowing same sex couples to adopt children, the Cardinal answered, "This would destroy the child's future, it would be an act of moral violence against the child."<<
This is true, and I might add, it is putting it MILDLY! Such words are not what the media (nor homosexual critics of same) is accustomed to having seen in public. Good.
But it is not enough.
Proof (we don't have to go far for proof):
>>...when the child reaches the age of reason, when he grows up and becomes a young adult, how tragic it will be for him to let his friends know that his 'parents' are two women or two men? This situation endangers the child's personality, balance, harmony."<<
The very next paragraph takes much of the wind out of the sails. Why? The sentence above would assume that the child adopted by queers does not tell his friends until he grows up. False presumption. Here in Los Angeles, about the same time that they took away corporal punishment from the Principals of elementary schools, they began a district wide program (pogrom?) of killing souls. It consisted of teaching the kindergarteners that it is not nice to tease other children who have two mommies or two daddies. The pogrom quickly expanded to the higher grades.
If anyone doubts the appropriateness of my equating such false teaching with the killing of souls, let me point out the natural consequence of removing the power of Principals to administer corporal punishment. After about 5 years of worsening behavior, the Principals, at their wits' end, clammored for some kind of relief. The LAUSD came to the rescue with another typically Communist solution: the elementary "School Police" patrol cars, that had been on duty for some time already, were outfitted with shotguns.
This business of teaching innocent children that homosexuality is socially acceptable kills the life of God's grace in their souls before they are able to appreciate an innocent childhood. Homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt children because it is a moral crime that cries to heaven for vengeance and we as a society will one day pay the terrible price. The reason is not limited to how "endangered" the child's "personality, balance, harmony" becomes! This sort of psychobabble is a time bomb, a perversion in and of itself, and it is frankly reprehensible. I am sorry if this offends anyone, but it is stark, open truth. We are in real big trouble and I, for one, am not afraid to point it out.
These carefully measured words of Trujillo might be intended to broach a very difficult topic, but I really believe that the reason the topic has become difficult to broach is because the Vatican has taken an enormous hiatus on being clear and strong on such matters. The cost for such negligence (or worse!) will be high, and it could be astronomical...
