in·co·her·ent [in-koh-heer-uhnt, -her-]
adjective
1. without logical or meaningful connection; disjointed; rambling: an incoherent sentence.
This word, incoherent, best sums up the Supreme Court’s attempt
at settling the issue of the impossible: “gay marriage”. In the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) ruling
they stated that the states have the jurisdiction to declare for their own
people how a marriage is defined. They
reasoned that it was not the purpose of the Federal government to usurp state
authority on this matter, thus DOMA, a law that protected the true definition
of marriage, for federal purposes, was struck down.
However, in almost the same breath, they refused to interfere in
a lower federal district court’s ruling which struck down a California state
law which was lawfully passed by a sovereign state, also declaring a marriage
to be solely between a man and a woman. What the hell?!!! DOMA is struck because it is not the federal
government’s business what the states rule for themselves in this matter. However, when one state does rule conservatively
in this matter, a federal judge may strike it down!
Fellow Christians, the writing is on the wall. Like a ratchet, regardless of which way the handle
turns, the movement of our country is always towards evil. We must all turn back to the Holy Roman
Catholic Church. We must take up the
shield of faith and fight this tide with courage. When a colleague at work lets slip a
statement supporting this kind of evil, say something; make it polite, but say
something. Say something affirming the
teachings of Jesus Christ right then, do not wait for a better time, it will
not come.
The real tragedy in these many and manifest errors is the
millions of lost souls. If we stay
silent, hoping to hold our seat in the Bark of Peter without risk to
ourselves, we will be to blame. If we
speak up and receive chastisements for our efforts our crown will shine only
the brighter in the times to come. If we
speak up and someone has their conscience tweaked enough to return home, then
we may truly hear the soothing words of our Lord calling us a “good and
faithful servant”.
I do not know why this darkness is consuming the world but it is
time to fight for Christ.
