'God is Being Eroded, Eclipsed, Liquidated' in the United States, Cardinal Says
US News ^ | May 18, 2016

Posted on 05/18/2016 6:57:23 PM PDT by NYer

In a keynote address at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, Cardinal Sarah said that in the United States, "God is being eroded, eclipsed, liquidated," Catholic News Agency reports.

Cardinal Sarah pointed out specific events "in the name of 'tolerance'" that have contributed to this erosion, including "the legalization of same sex marriage, the obligation to accept contraception within health care programs, and even 'bathroom bills' that allow men to use the women’s restrooms and locker rooms."

"Should not a biological man use the men’s restroom?" he said in his prepared remarks. "How simpler can that concept be?"

He further warned that subversions of the church's teachings – including a "demonic 'gender ideology'" – could lead to the family unit becoming "a place where human beings can be humanly and spiritually wounded."

To combat these subversions, Cardinal Sarah encouraged the audience to "be prophetic, be faithful, and above all, pray."

"The Holy Father [Pope Francis] openly and vigorously defends Church teaching on contraception, abortion, homosexuality, reproductive technologies, the education of children and much more," he noted.

"In the end, it is God or nothing."

House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sister Constance Veit of the Little Sisters of the Poor also delivered remarks prior to the cardinal's keynote address.

This isn’t news. But Its good to see that there’s fruit coming out of Africa. This cardinal Sarah should be made an Archbishop in New York or California. Get the rest of these fleabags out.

May have to move the “Dark Continent” designation to Europe or North America.

One does not have to be a seer or clairvoyant to determine that...we are in big trouble unless we change our ways.

Yes... In a couple hundred years from now, Africa will be standing at the point we are now and our descendants will be no better off than Somalia or Chad.

It’s past time that the Catholic Church speaks out. Where have they been for the last 7 1/2 years while perversion became popular and our young people were getting caught up in the perversion. This is long overdue.

“We” re-elected Obama after four years of knowing what he will do in office. The tipping point is past when the parasites overwhelm the host. The only thing that will turn this country around is watering of the Tree of Liberty.

He is pretty awesome!!! Even Socrates knew 2500 years ago, that civil society crashes without a virtuous populace. No inner controls of base emotions-—you need outer control (the State).

The Marxists have been controlling information and Language for over a hundred years to erase concepts of male and female, to destroy Free Will (choice) and destroy Individualism for “group think” in the Prussian indoctrination systems (all Common Core destroys critical thinking). They do not want children with minds like Newton and Tesla-—they want interchangeable cogs in the wheel.

Christianity is the ONLY faith that created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution—the most brilliant, just political document of all time. Now, we banned God and Jesus Christ in the 50s and 60s, only the Christian “faith” so the Leftists could force a pagan, muslim, atheist or Satanic “faith” on our children. They removed the Classical Christain Curricula by 1930-—and it was the “Man-Boy” “love” elites who forced their ideology to groom the children to be ignorant and devoid of Virtue (so Freedom is impossible).

===================================================

Even today, right now, where are the voices of the American bishops in the USCCB concerning these issues?

There is a deafening, sickening silence from most of them.   Do most of them have no beliefs or opinions about same-sex "marriage", or about men being allowed to use women's restrooms, women's locker rooms, and women's changing rooms in stores, or about abortion, or about what God and God's Church teaches about homosexuality, or about homosexual couple adoptions, etc., etc. etc.?

Cardinal Robert Sarah Is Correct, But He forgot to Mention The American Government is Ruled and Run by EVIL!

“In a keynote address at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, Cardinal Sarah said that in the United States, “God is being eroded, eclipsed, liquidated,” Catholic News Agency reports.”

Also Do Not Think Any Election will change this, The Government is the Beast and it is Self Sufficient. Until We Return to God, Humble ourselves, and Return to Small Government with Good Men there will be no Change for the Good, Darkness will Rule!

Sounds like Cardinal Sarah ought to be the Pope instead of the Marxist buffoon.

Eminence, let not your heart be troubled. To quote an old American science-fiction/fantasy show, you can’t erase God with an edict.

How many threads does FR need on the same topic?

And if FR’s search engine isn’t adequate, a simple google search with the phrase “free republic” will ALWAYS turn up an posts made about the topic. I’ve done it myself many times looking for whether an article is previously posted.
