Now that we've dealt with the arguments and reflections of children, those of adults are welcome. Proceed...
I have been mulling over this decision, and certainly cannot penetrate to the reality of what has actually happened. But you said you wanted to discuss this intelligently, as you have reservations.
Well so do I.
A week has gone by, and I have seen many priests and laymen jumping for joy, and calling this decision a miracle of grace. They are very sure sure of themselves, and I do not understand why. What can we be sure of?
Let me take up your invitation to discuss this rationally, and in so doing, I will try to bring forward things we really can be sure of.
Firstly, our discernment must begin within the order of principles, which is the highest order, both of reality and of rationality.
I think the highest principle of all is the principle of Divine Providence. By this we know with certitude that all things done by the enemies, all sins and plots and murderous objectives, when they are allowed to materialize, do not ultimately fulfill the will of satan, but the will of God. Absolutely nothing happens that is not within the will of God, either permissive or ordaining. The greatest example of this is the Crucifixion and Death of D.N.J.C., which should have been satan’s greatest victory, but amounted rather to his greatest defeat.
Thus we may take heart that, no matter what actually happened behind closed doors – no matter what sick plot might be afoot – it will backfire, as will every single crime committed under the sun.
The second level in the order of principles has to do with the decision itself. This cannot be too long a post, so a sketch must suffice.
Is the SCOTUS competent – legally and ethically – to hold for the absolute right to life and legal protection, both under God and under the US Constitution, of unborn infants? Of course it is. Anyone who would demand a long demonstration of this certain and self-evident truth is not worthy to hear such.
Is the SCOTUS under a pressing and continuous moral, ethical, and constitutional obligation to rectify the grievous moral and legal wrong perpetrated against innocent citizens of the US, by its rogue government, by the rogue SCOTUS, to be exact? Of course it is. Anyone who would demand a long demonstration of this certain and self-evident truth is not worthy to hear such.
Let me note here that one aspect of this grievous moral and legal wrong perpetrated against innocent citizens of the US, has to do with the schizophrenia encased in US “law,” wherein, under criminal statutes the unborn infant is a person entitled to protection, whilst, simultaneously, under the civil law, the unborn infant is “tissue,” capable of being disposed of at the caprice of its mother. This alone demands rectification by the highest court, even if we were to confine ourselves to legal principles.
I could go on, but the above is sufficient to conclude, that, within the order of principles, this decision is a godless, diabolical abomination, a travesty of justice, and a viable means of continuation of the slaughter of the innocents.
Now, essentially, principles are causes. Effects flow from right actions that accord with true principles, and effects flow from wrong actions that accord with false principles. This is certain; therefore it is also certain that down the road evil effects will materialize as a result of this decision. I cannot foresee exactly what form they will take, but I am certain that they will occur, in accordance with all axioms of truth dealing with true and false principles, as causes.
Many Catholics are at least nebulously aware of the fact that, within the order of principles, this decision is absolutely immoral and unconstitutional; but they look to possible future good effects, such as the “saving of even one baby.” Certainly it is good and rational to consider future effects of actions done, especially actions claimed to be performed in accordance with a set of “principles,” but Catholics must always begin their prognostications with analysis of the principles themselves, now put into effect by tangible action. If the principles are good, then we look for good effects. But if the principles are bad, then bad effects. Thus I’m not sure it is prudent to place so much hope in a decision which is based entirely on a refusal to act in accordance with right principles.
Now if anyone disagrees with the above set of conclusions, I wonder if they will bring quiet and rational argumentation to the table, and dispute civilly. And will they keep their arguments confined to the order of principles?
Secondly we can look at this decision within the practical order. What do we see? This is the same SCOTUS that has handed the country over to satanists and perverts. Now, had this new decision been based on upright principles of morality, ethics, law, we might begin to suspect that some kind of cataclysmic paradigm shifting was going on in the judaeo-masonic government. But really what exactly did SCOTUS do? Did these judges act independently, or were they told exactly what they could and could not get away with? I’m not quite sure. I cannot see behind the curtain. What I can see, is what they didn’t do. Hence, my serious reservations.
In the practical order, they have sown confusion and division. Confusion because the decision is superficially wonderful, but deep down immoral and cowardly. Deep down people know it was a massive cop out. Deep down people know that babies are still in mortal jeopardy, and certainly not entitled to any legal protection. Confusion always ensues when you have an apparent choice between monstrous evil and the “lesser of two evils.” Division because those who call out the spades will clash with pollyanna. Division inside the federation of US States. More schizophrenia – a baby is human in one state and a piece of tissue in another. In fact, it is a widening of the schizophrenia, which, by the very nature of the term, is essential division. Being the sowers of yet more confusion and division, we may safely assert that the SCOTUS is just like every other organ of judaeo-masonic control. Again, we can prognosticate - not good future effects, but evil ones.
Thirdly, we come back now to the order of Divine Providence, but especially the supernatural order. It is absolutely certain that a day will come when their time is up. We all sense that their time is short. God will hand them seeming victory after seeming victory – for a time. And then He will overthrow them. Does this decision bode well for us, supernaturally speaking? Is it a sign for us that their time is now very short? For God uses signs, and even their own signs, for His own purposes. God uses actions, even evil actions, for His own purposes. This is where I put my hope. And if this is a sign from God, especially given the date of the decision, then it is a call to Catholics to take serious action. I am morally certain that this action is more prayer and more penance. I believe that if people would only begin to pray the Breviary in earnest, whilst not abandoning their Rosary, we would see quicker results. The Psalms are our greatest weapon, alongside the Rosary.
The Psalms are principles, causes. The Psalms bring about effects. If only Catholics would realize this and take up the sword of the Breviary.
