Blackboards of Moral Instruction (Bede)

Homily - Blackboards of Moral Instruction (Bede)

Do you not know that we are to judge angels? 

(1 Corinthians 6:3)

FRIENDS:

• Shortly after I became a Catholic the first wave of the homosexual predation crisis broke upon the Church in the United States;

• About that time I was serving as the Program Director for Marriage Preparation in the Family Life Office of the Diocese of Arlington in Virginia;

• One morning after arriving at my office, I received an email — or read an article — in which Archbishop William Gregory of Atlanta, he was then the President of the USCCB, made the following statement:

We have learned much from this Crisis.

• I wanted to scream!
• In fact, I did scream!

• Why did it take the homosexual rape of hundreds of little children and...

The cover-up of those crimes against God’s little ones...

And against heaven itself!

To teach the Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States...

What every Catholic was taught before he even knew his name?

"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 

And he said to him, 

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 

This is the great and first commandment. 

And a second is like it, 

You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 

On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets." 

(Matthew 22:36-40)

DEAR FRIENDS:

It was a lie THEN!

It is a lie NOW!

And when The day light dawned, he called his disciples, and chose from them, those whom he named priests and bishops;

(See Luke 6:13)

DEAR FRIENDS IN CHRIST:

Every Catholic Layman, Priest and Bishop KNEW and KNOWS...

The FIRST and GREATEST commandment and the SECOND which is like unto it!

They KNEW IT THEN...

But seminarians kept quiet in order to make sure that they would become priests for some perverse orsome other falsely noble purpose!

Priests kept their mouths shut in order to advance in their clerical careers for some perverse or some other falsely noble purpose!

And bishops, Cardinals and apparently at least three popes hushed the crisis or refused to discipline, punish and defrock the homosexual predators under and among them in order to protect themselves for some perverse orsome other falsely noble purpose!

DEAREST BRETHREN...

THERE IS NO REASON under heaven, and on the Good God’s green earth why... 

The bodies and souls of OUR CHILDREN...

The bodies and souls of our PUBESCENT SONS and DAUGHTERS...

The bodies and souls of our YOUNG ADULT and ADULT SONS and DAUGHTERS...

Ought to have become the BLACKBOARDS UPON WHICH men in Holy Orders had to learn the fundamental lessons in Catholic morals!

AND SO DEAREST BRETHREN IN CHRIST...

I SAY TO YOU what Saint Paul said to the Catholics in the city of Corinth:

DO NOT BE DECEIVED; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

AND, THE COLOR of the clerical garb which these wicked men wear matters not!

JUDGMENT HAS BEGUN WITH the House of God!

BEHOLD, NOW THE UNRIGHTEOUS have been tasked by God to do what those who were destined to JUDGE ANGELS refused to do!

LET THE HIGH PRAISES OF GOD be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, to execute on them the judgment written! This is glory for all his faithful ones.

O LORD JESUS CHRIST; Into whose hands it is a terrifying thing for evil men to fall...

COME, EXECUTE your judgment; And rescue your faithful!

COME, DELIVER your faithful from the wolves in Shepherds clothingwho have devoured your little ones!

And, may the Living God have mercy on His Church!
