People in pre-Catholic countries knew brutality in every facet of their lives. Their gods were brutal. Sports were brutal. Politics were brutal. War was brutal. Slavery was brutal. Outside of the fortunate few who had some love among their families, brutality reigned. Brutal betrayers like Brutus ruled.
After thousands of years of brutality between Babylon and Brutus, a bizarre change came. He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies was born in Bethlehem. The Only Church He Founded taught our ancestors to love God and neighbor. Society, like a loaf with a little leaven, was raised as growing numbers of Catholics spread this bizarre idea of love among the brutal. Soon, large numbers understood: “It better to love than to hate.” Catholic peoples and nations prospered. Governments were built on love and caring. Often, welfare replaced warfare.
Then, with the help of governments eager for more power, a multitude of Martin Luthers began to attack The Church that had ruled Christendom for a thousand years. Over the next five hundred years, tens of thousands of schisms were invented by ambitious men. Hundreds of millions moved into “somewhat Christian” groups.
As schisms multiplied, Catholic teachings on the Sanctity of Marriage were, in a word, “brutalized”. In the past century, Protestant factions began to allow repeated divorce and remarriage. Having orgasms became so important that teachings against fornication were forgotten. To keep those sins from consequences, removing Catholic prohibitions on artificial birth control were justified by the lies of Protestant schisms.
Abortion was likewise justified. Soon, the killing of the unborn was fueled by the growing market in baby body parts used to help keep old and selfish sinners alive a little longer. The desperation to put off Judgment is personified by one Rockefeller who has had six heart transplants. If the body parts of old people had value, liberal Protestant ministers would soon invent a “Duty to Die” and inform the authorities, “If we tell people they have a higher duty to die, we deserve a fair percentage of their body part proceeds, too”.
We have been brutalized. The most helpless of our neighbors are unborn babies. They are torn into pieces. Their body parts are sold to the highest bidder. It is all caught on film. Nations profoundly transformed by the Love of God have slid back into brutality.
We are surprised, startled, and appalled when we see such brutality nearby. For awhile, it is a matter of great concern. Then, we are distracted by some sports contest, business concerns, family interests, vacation, travel, building, remodeling, changing careers, practicing some skill, etc.
Those involved in brutality become brutalized. Their hearts and minds grow brutal. First, they hate what they are doing. But, they need the money. Recognizing that they are hired killers leads them to hate themselves. Then, their neighbors. Soon, they hate the women who abort their babies. They hate the babies they abort. They hate themselves as they become brutes.
The only boundary of brutality is The Catholic Church. We see, more clearly than ever, that the confusion of the schisms only helps the brutal to brutalize us. Brutality is only conquered by the priests and Sacraments of The Only Church Jesus Founded.
The brutal want to be where the carefully coiffed and costumed find fame and fortune surrounded with what they buy with money made from death and slavery. Then, as Judgment nears, some cry, “I didn’t know.”
The honest of them say, “I didn’t care.”
