| Scene from Harry Potter movie |
Everyone had to pretend this wasn’t unusual for a man to do-
especially a full bearded man who didn’t look feminine in the least.
He was a man, dressed head to toe in women’s clothes. An abomination according to God in Sacred Scripture.
Deuteronomy 22:5 (Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition - RSVCE)5 “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
For the past several months the media has been reporting
that one time Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner was/is/had been “transitioning into
a woman”. Jenner announced that he will "be a woman soon".
Horse hockey! Pony pucks! Pigeon pellets! Cow patties! Jackass! Bull cookies! Good grief!
Bruce Jenner will no more be a woman than I will “transition”
into an elm tree.
Jenner’s DNA will always remain MALE. He can pretend its Halloween and play dress
up for the rest of his life and all he will accomplish is being a mutilated
abomination.
It’s a free country, if HE wants to be an abomination that’s
his right in this country, but it is also the right of Christians –and others-
NOT to play along and suddenly be forced to refer to Bruce as female.
Unfortunately, today’s culture is full of idiots and
hypocrites who demand tolerance for all the things they want, support and hold
dear but absolutely refuse to allow anyone with a dissenting opinion the same
right to have a dissenting opinion or the right to voice that opinion. If you dare share a dissenting opinion in
public you are at once attacked and labeled some sort of phobe.
That happened to child actor Drake Bell, best known for his
role on Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh” when the “Call me Caitlyn” Bruce Jenner
story broke.
After that tweet on Twitter, Bell was viciously attacked and
forced to remove the tweet because he dared to voice his dissenting opinion on
a man pretending to be a woman.
Bruce is not female, HE is male and HIS DNA will always be
male no matter how many operations he undergoes or how much hormones he takes. Bruce Jenner was born a man and will die a
man.
The insanity of our world today is limitless. What was right is now called wrong. What was wrong is now called right. What was once known to be abnormal is now normal. What was sin is now love, and what was once
known as love is called hate.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition - RSVCE)3 “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.”
The devil has accomplished a great deal on this earth.

No amount of estrogen can change that "Y" chromosome to "X." Jenner will always carry the "XY" combo.
ReplyDeleteAlso it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars for surgeries and the ongoing lifetime hormone treatments to 'transform' someone into something they are not. And Still they will remain the gender they were born as. I knew a man trying to be a woman at a pharmacy where I worked. The hundreds of thousands of dollars were from taxpayer funds. He had to take hormones but still he was 6 ft tall, walked and talked like a man. Would not want to be in the ladies room with him even if he was wearing a skirt. This is a mental illness but no one will say it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this article as it demonstrates you have a strong faith and desire to pursue the salvation that Jesus made possible by redeeming everyone through paying the price of his death.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct in identifying that there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9) regarding these matters. This includes the fact the Catholic Church has encountered these things throughout its history and provided teachings on these matters to the faithful.
Could you imagine a nun taking her profession then announcing to her brother that she feels she is hermaphroditic and that the male sex predominates?
This happened to (Felix) Alexandra Becchelli (1709). The bishop assembled a team of medical doctors who examined her and then stated in their opinion she was right. Pope Benedict XIV discusses this case in his compendium "Thesaurus Resolutionum Sacræ Congregationis Concilii", the Church's scientific presentation of the accepted practice in the Church following the analysis of Bolognese canonist Huguccio who was famous for his influence on early Cannon law.
Pope Francis instructs we should be careful not to participate in spiritual worldliness. The Church has always known of human beings born with Intersex conditions. These humans have atypical sex development in one or more of the external genital morphology, internal genital morphology, chromosomal sex, and sex hormones.
Pope John Paul II in his book "Love and Responsibility" teaches: "Every human being is by nature a sexual being, and belongs from birth to one of the two sexes. This fact is not contradicted by the phenomenon of so-called hermaphroditism"
There is perhaps a teleological arc here in the transition from superstitious treatment of hermaphrodites to perhaps a benign neglect and even amusement or a certain spiritual worldliness around the so-called transgender. However, there is a better way.
Thomas J. O'Donnell, SJ, a one-time consultant to the UCCB wrote an authoritative book with the Imprimi Potest from the Church entitled "Medicine and Christian Morality". His insight follows: "Everyone has the right to be a member of one sex or the other. Recent medical literature reflects a much truer and healthier approach to the problem by referring to it in terms of unfinished sexual development."
The moral crisis is that patients who have fetuses diagnosed with a complicated sex determination on ultrasound state that their fear was so great that they made the parental decision to terminate pregnancies. If they read the article by Julie at Connecticut Catholic Corner, would they be more, or less likely to abort their fetus? Does it create a culture of death?
There is upwards of 73% pregnancy termination rate for cases of Intersex disorders in Europe between 2008-2012. In the US, there is a prevalence rate of between 160,045 - 213,394 human beings with an Intersex condition. By comparison, Down Syndrome prevalence in the US would be approximately 264,715.
But the living suffer too. The US FBI 2013 Hate Crime Statistics show 75 Anti-Catholic cases and 33 so-called "Gender Identity" cases. Based on the proportionate populations, we can say that the rate of Hate Crimes against so-called "transgender" victims is 98% worse than as against Catholic victims,
Don’t give the murderer from the beginning any foot hold by hating- which is murder committed in the heart. Whoever hates his brother or sister is a murderer. (1Jn. 3)
I have faith that Catholics will be awakened through our Church to the risks to these people because the Catholic Church is Christ's instrument and uses truth, justice, healing, reconciliation, compassion, kindness, humility and patience in carrying out His work.

ReplyDeleteYou either didn't read what I wrote, or decided to pretend I said something else. Your comment is tripe, but thanks for stopping by.
