Fishers of Men

Rick Santorum (R-MA) has published his thoughts in a piece called "Fishers of Men," on the cause of the Catholic pedaphilia scandals: Liberalism.

The most obvious change must occur within American seminaries, many of which demonstrate the same brand of cultural liberalism plaguing our secular universities. My hope was rekindled last week as our American Cardinals proposed from Rome an "apostolic visitation" of seminaries emphasizing "the need for fidelity to the Church's teaching, especially in the area of morality." It is an arduous task. However, the Pope made it clear last week that he expects the strong appeal of the Cardinals to be followed by decisive Episcopal action.

It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.

The cultural change needed cannot end with our seminaries. Most of the American Cardinals, while strong defenders of the faith , are from a different era with only a few responding to the new demands our decaying culture has place upon them. With God's grace, a new hierarchy must emerge that will be both faithful in thought and courageous in confronting all infidelity within the Church. Such Church leaders have a great example in Pope John Paul II's battle with communism's attempt to destroy the Church and human dignity. A new hierarchy must similarly fight against an array of "isms"-moral relativism, cultural liberalism-inside and outside of the Church.

This is the same tolerance for homosexuality that Rev. Falwall believes was responsible for 9/11 occuring, rather than some meglomaniacal terrorist whom the CIA funded and trained for a previous war against a previous enemy.

The same tolerance that our President and his 3-branch party tried to force into accepting a Constitutional Amendment that would descriminate against American citizens.

The same tolerance that Rev. Phelps faught against, with his website www.godhatesfags.com.

And the same tolerance that Rev. Phelps employs to actually... yes... PROTEST FUNERALS of soldiers killed in Iraq because, as Santorum says, "It is startling that those in the media and academia appear most disturbed by this aberrant behavior, since they have zealously promoted moral relativism by sanctioning "private" moral matters such as alternative lifestyles. Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected."








This is your tolerance, Ricky, protesting a boy you sent to War, because of your fear of homosexuality.

This is what it looks like: Protest signs that say "God Hates Fags" next to ones that say "Thank God for IEDs."


And they're trying to say that Liberals hate our troops [while, of course, we liberals never put them in a place where they would needlessly die for our political games].

Absolutely disgusting.

Also: the tile of Santorum's piece, "Fishers of Men," comes from Matthew 4.19, where Christ speaks to his Desciples: "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Santorum perverts this in a very strange way, manipulating it NOT to talk about the Catholic Church's 50 year odyssey with homosexual pedophilia [where the priests are the anglers and the boys their trout; the fisher and the innocent victim], but rather with the tendency for LIBERALISM to "seduce" men through homosexuality.

It should also be noted that this passage was used by the Children of God cult through the early 80's in their "Faith Fishers" program, whereby attractive Family members would prostitute themselves to very weathly clients worldwide to draw in new cash-laden members to finance the cult.

All in the name of Jesus.

I'm not sure about the rest of you AntiCentenariatics, but I'm starting to wonder where the perversions lie on the political spectrum.
