Vatican cardinal: U.S. bathroom battle is part of ‘insidious war’ against human nature

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A top Vatican cardinal blasted the transgender bathroom agenda in the United States on Tuesday as diabolical.

Cardinal Robert Sarah, the prefect for the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Sacraments, said at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., that there are clear signs in the United States of religious persecution and a war against human nature.

“Do we not see signs of this insidious war in this great nation of the United States?” Sarah asked.  “In the name of ‘tolerance,’ the Church’s teachings on marriage, sexuality and the human person are dismantled.  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?  How simpler can that concept be?”

Sarah’s remarks drew roaring applause. 

He continued, “How low we are sinking for a nation built on a set of moral claims about God, the human person, the meaning of life, and the purpose of society, given by America’s first settlers and founders!  God is named in your founding documents as ‘Creator’ and ‘Supreme Judge’ over individuals and government.  The human person endowed with God-given and therefore inalienable rights to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’  George Washington wrote that ‘the establishment of civil and religious liberty was the motive that induced me to the field of battle.’” 

The Obama administration recently threatened to withhold federal funding from public schools that don’t allow biological males to access women’s restrooms.  This came in the wake of the administration suing North Carolina after the state passed a bathroom privacy law that the left labeled discriminatory because it restricted bathrooms to people of the same sex.

Then he needs to be Pope - the present one is giving up the store.

It is all part of the chaos pResident Obama promised in "transforming" America into a devil's playground.

QUESTION: To whom will Obama answer and account?

While I despise catholicism, I have nothing against this bishop's color. If I disagree with someone, it's because of the position, not the color of the person. In fact, I even agree with the stance. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I think it’s a war on masculinity and Christianity.

““Do we not see signs of this insidious war in this great nation of the United States?” Sarah asked. “In the name of ‘tolerance,’ the Church’s teachings on marriage, sexuality and the human person are dismantled.”

That is true, and this pope is a major contributor to this dismantling. He should lead a revolt against his own pope.

The source of this insanity is “PostModernism” which is all the rage at universities, especially all the ethnic and gender studies programs.

If you’re not familiar with it, this might help.

Unless we know the root cause of a problem, we will never be able to solve it.

(Grammar elision.)

Could you be more specific?
