Words of wisdom from Pope Leo XIII:
"The character of goodness and truth cannot be changed at option. These remain ever one and the same, and are no less unchangeable than nature herself. If the mind assents to false opinions, and the will chooses and follows after what is wrong, neither can attain its native fulness but both must fall from their native dignity into an abyss of corruption. Whatever, therefore, is opposed to virtue and truth, may not rightly be brought temptingly before the eye of man, much less sanctioned by the favor and protection of the law. A well-spent life is the only passport to heaven, whither all are bound, and on this account the State is acting against the laws and dictates of nature whenever it permits the license of opinion and of action to lead minds astray from truth and souls away from the practice of virtue."
Well put.
ReplyDeletePraising 15o years of liberal usurpation of the pontifical dominions and other old reverent catholic princely states and then shortly after lamenting the march of the children of sodom is a typical mannerism of the conciliar church. How could a liberal and secular state in any sense obey and protect moral law?

Do you happen to know the hymn by the English Oratorian Fr Faber, "There's a wideness in God's mercy" ? It's worth looking it up ...
ReplyDeletePlease, don't pretend that Rome hasn't always been a cesspool of vice and corruption. It doesn't help the advancment of Truth to ignore the truth.

ReplyDeleteQuite possibly, but ... walks of sodomites and other perverts were unthinkable.
