I will Spew You from My Mouth

The House of Representatives passed a radical pro-homosexual bill that supports abortion and transgenderism. A number of Catholics voted for it - and not just Democrats, but REPUBLICAN Catholics.

From Lifesitenews:

On October 30, 2008, Barack Obama said, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." The legal policy changes wrought under the Obama Administration paved the way for the so-called Equality Act, HR 5, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on May 17, 2019 by a vote of 236 to 173. The Equality Act would fundamentally and radically alter Civil Rights Law to prohibit "discrimination" on the basis of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," in the same way racial discrimination is prohibited. Analysis by pro-life and pro-family organizations, as well as the U.S. Catholic Bishops, have warned that the Equality Act would:

• Require faith-based hospitals, doctors and nurses to participate in and/or to perform or assist with abortions or lose their medical licenses;
• Require tax funding of all abortions without restrictions;
• Mandate that any entity that provides health care for pregnancy and childbirth be required to provide abortion as a "related medical condition";
• Force women to share private, intimate spaces with men who "identify" as female including in bathrooms, lockers, schools, hospitals, prisons, gyms, military barracks and homeless shelters;
• Disallow Catholic and private school single sex sports teams from competing against public school sports teams, which will no longer be permitted to have "discriminatory" single sex teams;
• Decertify Catholic and Christian schools from satisfying state compulsory attendance laws if they refuse to adopt LGBTQ policies, treating religious schools as "hate groups" comparable to the Ku Klux Klan;
• Forbid groups like the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Charities and Christian non-profits from receiving community block grants from local governments for housing for the disabled or seniors unless they accommodate the LGBTQ agenda including hiring those who identify as homosexual or transgender;
• Prohibit Catholic schools and parishes from obtaining construction loans from federally chartered banks or savings institutions unless the schools and churches implement the LGBTQ agenda including hiring active homosexual and transgender teachers in same sex "marriages";
• Remove children from the legal custody of their parents if they try to prevent their minor children from taking cancer-causing, puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones recommended by school counselors or provided by social welfare agencies;
• End women-only or men-only shelters serving drug addicts, the battered, and the homeless;
• Decertify foster care and adoption agencies which do not place children with homosexual partners;
• Require small businesses owned by Catholics to promote and affirm LGBTQ sexual behavior or face fines and/or loss of their business licenses;
• Remove the tax-exempt status of Catholic churches and agencies if they fail to "celebrate" same-sex "weddings." The Equality Act would classify churches as "public accommodations" (like hotels and restaurants), prohibited from denying services on account of sexual orientation, in the same manner services cannot now be denied on account of race.

The article tells us that no fewer than six Catholic Republicans joined the 74 Catholic Democrats in support of this bill, which is anathema to core Catholic teaching.

The article goes on to discuss the desperate need to excommunicate these people, and the Church's pucillanimous fear of rocking the boat - and capsizing the treasure boat.

The article continues:

Are our bishops, when confronted with obviously anti-Catholic legislation, required to correct politicians, especially Catholic politicians, who support such policies, or is private criticism enough? In October, 2004, Pope St. John Paul II met in Rome with representatives of the U.S. Catholic bishops where he spelled out the bishops' duties: "remember that your sacred responsibility to teach, sanctify and govern cannot be surrendered to anyone else: it is your personal vocation."

Regarding life, marriage and God's creation of "male and female," much more could be taught through pastoral letters, Prayers of the Faithful offered during Mass, notices in Church bulletins, letters read at Mass, articles in Catholic newspapers and social media as well as messages publicizing the Sacrament of Reconciliation and retreats to offer hope and forgiveness to reach those who have undergone abortion. Some of the most powerful witnesses in defense of human life have been open about their past abortion wounds.

If there is reluctance to speak about the sacredness of human life and the evil of abortion from the pulpit, I offer the experience of one Christian pastor who feared that if he mentioned abortion in a sermon, it could hurt the post-abortive women in his congregation. It wasn't until after he counseled numerous distraught women from his church, that he realized he could have spared these women deep suffering if he had spoken the truth earlier. He subsequently changed his thinking and his sermons.

Jesus told his apostles that when a town does not receive them to "shake the dust off your feet and move on". You are not supposed to coax, cajole, and beg. You are to present your case and if it is not accepted so be it.

But the modern Catholic Church is more interested in getting people to show up and contribute than in actually standing firm. They think the way to get a full collection plate is by conforming to the vanities of the modern world. But who goes to church to be entertained? And if not, what is the Catholic faith offering these days? Certainly not certainty, or moral fiber.

We are in a spiritual war. We always have been, but in the last fifty or so years it has become a kill-or-be-killed battle for the soul of Mankind. The other side has all of the weaponry, the media, the political class, the corporations. They control all of the high ground. Our side has only the Truth (and the Great Almighty God). We MUST speak the Truth, always, and keep speaking it. That is the only way we can save Mankind, save souls, save lives.

The Enemy is in the gates right now. They have penetrated the Catholic Church, and many other churches as well. If we don't want to be routed we have got to come out fighting. Too few on our side want that. So many fear the world. Like high school girls afraid of the mean popular ones, our side cowers or flatters, but fears taking a stand.

Well, it's about our last stand at this point, and we had better be taking it soon.

In the Book of Revelation Jesus condemns the Church of Laodecia for cowardice and indifference "You are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were hot or cold, but as you are not I will spew you out of my mouth."  The modern Church is neither hot nor cold, just indifferent. Money and influence appear all concerns itself with these days, and so Jesus will spew it from his mouth.

Just as Yahweh kicked the Canaanites out of the Holy Land, and even sent His people into exile, so too He will not shrink from exiling His Church if the need arises. And it has arisen. It no longer has any worth or dignity.

It will be most unpleasant being spewn from the Lord's mouth.
