Goodbye, Good Men--An Expose of the Homosexual Revolution in the Catholic Church

Yes, the dominant Jesuits at L.H.S. at that time (early 70s) were the Dan Berrigan types who celebrated Cesar Chaves etc and took kids to anti war demonstrations. The older Spencer Tracy types were effectively shut out of the loop.

I can only surmise that "gay lib" crept in with the rest of the "liberation theology". And those chickens have indeed come home to roost.

Thank you for your strong statement, sara. This is what I've been waiting to hear from you. I know you serve the Church with a good and selfless heart. Forgive me if I was harsh towards you.

Worth Reading in these times: From "Abandonment TO Divine Providence" by BY THE REV. J. P. DE CAUSSADE, S.J.

Section XII. The Triumph of Humility.

SECTION XII. --The Triumph of Humility.

To the souls which are faithful to Him, God promises a glorious victory over the powers of the world and of hell.

---

If the divine action is hidden here below under the appearance of weakness, it is in order to increase the merit of souls which are faithful to it; but its triumph is none the less certain.

The history of the world from the beginning is but the history of the struggle between the powers of the world, and of hell, against the souls which are humbly devoted to the divine action. In this struggle all the advantage seems to be on the side of pride, yet the victory always remains with humility. The image of the world is always presented to our eyes as a statue of gold, brass, iron, and clay. This mystery of iniquity, shown in a dream to Nabuchodonosor, is nothing but a confused medley of all the actions, interior and exterior, of the children of darkness. This is also typified by the beast coming out of the pit to make war, from the beginning of time, against the interior and spiritual life of man. All that takes place in our days in the consequence of this war. Monster follows monster out of the pit, which swallows, and vomits them forth again amidst incessant clouds of smoke. The combat between St. Michael and Lucifer, that began in Heaven, still continues. The heart of this once magnificent angel, has become, through envy, an inexhaustible abyss of every kind of evil. He made angel revolt against angel in Heaven, and from the creation of the world his whole energy is exerted to make more criminals among men to fill the ranks of those who have been swallowed up in the pit. Lucifer is the chief of those who refuse obedience to the Almighty. This mystery of iniquity is the very inversion of the order of God; it is the order, or rather, the disorder of the devil.

This disorder is a mystery because, under a false appearance of good, it hides irremediable and infinite evil. Every wicked man, who, from the time of Cain, up to the present moment, has

92-93

declared war against God, has outwardly been great and powerful, making a great stir in the world, and being worshiped by all. But this outward semblance is a mystery. In reality they are beasts which have ascended from the pit one after another to overthrow the order of God. But this order, which is another mystery, has always opposed to them really great and powerful men who have dealt these monsters a mortal wound. As fast as hell vomits them forth, Heaven at the same time creates fresh heroes to combat them. Ancient history, sacred and profane, is but a record of this war. The order of God has ever remained victorious and those who have ranged themselves on the side of God have shared His triumph, and are happy for all eternity. Injustice has never been able to protect deserters. It can reward them only by death, an eternal death.

Those who practise iniquity imagine themselves invincible. O God! who can resist You? If a single soul has the whole world and all hell against it, it need have no fear if, by abandonment, it takes its stand on the side of God and His order.

The monstrous spectacle of wickedness armed with so much power, the head of gold, the body of silver, brass, and iron, is nothing more than the image of clay; a small stone cast at it will scatter it to the four winds of Heaven.

How wonderfully has the Holy Spirit illustrated the centuries of the world! So many startling revelations! so many renowned heroes following each other like so many brilliant stars! So many wonderful events!

All this is like the dream of Nabuchodonosor, forgotten on awaking, however terrible the impression it made at the time.

All these monsters only come into the world to exercise the courage of the children of God, and if these are well trained, God gives them the pleasure of slaying the monsters, and sends fresh athletes into the arena.

And this life is a spectacle to angels, causing continual joy in Heaven, work for saints on earth, and confusion to the devils in hell.

So all that is opposed to the order of God renders it only the more to be adored. All workers of iniquity are slaves of justice, and the divine action builds the heavenly Jerusalem on the ruins of Babylon.

My greatest fear is that Protestants will comfort themselves with the thought that the Catholics are really bad. However, I know of two Lutheran church workers who murdered their wives and were supported in various ways by the Wisconsin Synod hierarchy. One man murdered his wife and then moved to a new congregation to serve as pastor! He never went to prison. Another man murdered his wife and then claimed she rolled over and over on a steak knife while sleeping. (Sound sleeper!) The second man was found guilty and went to prison for a few years. However, the WELS college president defended him on the witness stand and a bus-load of idiots traveled from New Ulm to Phoenix to show their support of the murderer. Both men were serial adulterers. The first man was well known as an adulterer before he joined the Wisconsin Synod. The second man married his children's baby-sitter while he was in prison. His wife's father (a pastor in the same synod) died of AIDS. But now people claim it was not AIDS.

My faith is grounded in the Scriptures rather than the supposed virtue of men. These times are precisely described in the Bible. We are living in the Great Apostasy, when the visible church is ruled by ex-believers (anti-Christians). "Though there be those that loathe Her, false sons within the pale..."

I hope that all the clergy predators and their enablers find justice in this world. They surely will in the age to come.

Palladin,

Thanks for posting this.

I've been trying to give a link bump to Goodbye! Good Men on every Church scandal thread here.

The book comes out in two weeks. For those interested in this subject, and certainly for those active in the Church, I recommend this as indispensable reading.

It's disturbing reading.

Goodbye! Good Men

[saradippity]

Wow!!That is powerful and explains what the Pope was telling his priests last week. It also explains it to us.May be you could post it on the new religious thread. It might open the eyes of some who are neither choir members or solidly situated in the camp of the enemy.

[saradippity]

If you post it on the new religious thread title it "The Mystery of Iniquity".

[Calculus_of_Consent]

I think you mean: KJV 1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Thank you, I just could not remember the chapter and verse. I used to quote that to my x-wife very often. Perhaps thats why she is my x.

[Chemnitz]

That would do it. This verse is now much corrupted by new, improved translations. Now a woman should not "teach in such a way as to usurp authority." That turns the verse inside out. In Greek it is very simple. The apostle says that he will not allow two things: 1) a woman to teach a man; 2) a woman to usurp authority over a man. Women's ordination has ruined every denomination embracing its hellish allure.

[Calculus_of_Consent]

How come they keep calling them female priests or women priests, isn't the correct term priestess?

[The_Reader_David]

"...tempted to join the Orthodox"? Well, you'll be welcomed if you do! (Lately the only 'bad' press we've been getting has come from our stalwart monks and Patriarch Alexii of Moscow not wanting papal visits, and Patriarch Teocist of Romania refusing to greet the homosexual American ambassador.)

[Chemnitz]

Have you noticed that all the actresses are now actors? They make a point of calling themselves ac-tors. I know of feminist professors who will not allow the spelling of "woman" because it contains the odious term "man." However, the actresses must use the male term actor. I do not see it as a lack of consistency but as a constant assault upon the English language. If someone can win on the terms (and be pope of terminology), then most of the argument is won already. Therfore the term priestess and pastorette must be avoided because it detracts from womyn (the new spelling) trying to be men, I mean myn. If you cannot follow my reasoning, take two Midol and call me in the morning.

[Calculus_of_Consent]

Ping

[Rytwyng]

....Patriarch Teocist of Romania refus[ed] to greet the homosexual American ambassador.

YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/fist-pumping gesture of triumph>

[stands2reason]

I don't know from orthodox...but I was raised Church of Christ and I promise you won't see gays or women in postions of leadership over men there. Of course, Church of Christ is a denomination I'd consider orthodox anyway; that is, if it goes against the Word, you don't do it! Each church is independent--there's no political collectives like in other denominations. No voting on what your church is going to believe, which is good.

Now, they don't cotton to much ceremony; no fancy robes, no choirs or organs or rock bands, but you get a church that's filled with the Spirit and love of the Lord and you don't need all of that.

[Palladin]

There is only one major institution with global reach which is standing up to the UN, hundreds of liberal NGOs, Maurice Strong, George Soros and others who seek to erode or end representative democracy: the Catholic Church.

It is true that the Church has many powerful external enemies. But I am afraid that the current crisis has its roots in the evil hearts of the enemy within.

[LarryLied]

Yes, but it can be fixed. This has been coming to a head for a while and not just over homosexual priests. Catholics will have to decide if they will let the liberals take total control or if they will fight.

[saradippity]

I like the way you express things. So who is/are the enemy within with the evil hearts?

[Palladin]

A Holy Thursday bump for Michael Rose's forthcoming book.

[Travis McGee]

I'll rebump this thread anytime you toss it to me!

"Happy Cesar Chavez Weekend!" (That's the official Kali holiday now, I kid you not.)
