I was merely pointing out that not necessarily all of one's genetic descendents will be purely white. They will still be descendents.
The point was to say people can place a legitimate value on the genetic heritage of their progeny without being Darwinians.
Your comment is irrelevant.
Ideally, would love to have married a full-blood Scot, but not how God worked things out....or German, ditto. Wife is part-Anglo, part Welsh......how far to take it, hmm. :confused1:
That said, what I take umbridge with is not ones preferences or cultural heritage, which IS important true, but the allegations that whites are genetically or culturally superior and that race mixing=sin, which Brother noted and has not proven by any authoratative means.....
Good Mr. Belloc,
It's also true that too much consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, so it is well that you and I do not agree about everything. That would seriously be the worst sign concerning the spiritual health of our Catholicism. We MUST agree about the Creed and doctrine, but NOT about everything. One hopes!
This question of which genetics and racial civilization is best certainly is a mine-field of subtleties and frequent vagueness, perhaps especially because pride is always such a subtle and difficult challenge for us. Surely there are types of pride that are healthy and at times even holy, but the existence of sinful pride is unquestionably the easiest thing to prove that there can very well be. The healthy pride of races, nations, families and the two sexes is also pretty clearly an area where our Catholic sense of humor is often required as well. (Hopefully needless to say!)
So the question of "which race is best" isn't any "zero-sum game." Especially when it comes to the races and two sexes, ALL can be "the best" all at the same time and then everyone gets to be right and logic has to give way to the rights of myth and poetry. God is GENEROUS as well as just (and He must have a good sense of humor too).
But, as you know, our Catholic view of just how strict we should be about maintaining racial differences (or sɛҳuąƖ differences) has always also varied among Catholics from different nations and parts of the world. Probably exactly what "selfish miscegenation" consists of is what we Catholics have often differed considerably about, much more than our lacking a general Catholic consensus that whatever such selfish excess of interracial over-familiarity might specifically be is something that is, at least as a general ethical principle, morally wrong.
This moral principle isn't so different, for example, from the moral principle that "murder is wrong." Depending on exactly what we're calling "murder," obviously. If the sin of "murder" is something that varies greatly according to different times and places, then clearly "selfish miscegenation" must vary very much more than that. Nevertheless it is our historic Catholic moral consensus that SOME sort of moral limits must exist concerning the marital mixing of our fine and admirable races. And such a sense of limits is something similar to our Catholic sense that social familiarity between the sexes also clearly has very definite moral limits, although the exact details for them also differ greatly among Catholics according to time and place.
All of this is not different from simply saying that we Catholics always take the sacrament of holy matrimony VERY SERIOUSLY. In essence we are CAREFUL about the relations between the sexes and between the races because MARRIAGE MATTERS and must be taken only with the GREATEST seriousness.
Surely you should see that there most clearly is a kind of selfish sɛҳuąƖ familiarity between races that is terribly wrong indeed. To be frank but highly relevant to this topic: Practically ALL miscegenous Catholic men are all of them also PROMISCUOUS men. They IN FACT are attracted towards non-white women because they are PROMISCUOUS. Their behavior is anything but a kind and caring moral sensitivity towards non-whites as is so falsely claimed in the usual Marxist propaganda that is echoed by our "sensitive" fellow Catholics who are so offended by the elementary sɛҳuąƖ facts of life of our universal human condition.
If we are to be real about opposing sins against nature, we MUST avoid hypocrisy about the REALITY of inter-racial sɛҳuąƖ relations, especially as they IN REALITY affect marriage. Yet again I must repeat this: WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD ANGELS HERE! White European men selfishly using non-whites for their sɛҳuąƖ amusements isn't IN REALITY much different from the same white European good-for-nothings using animals or males for the same selfish amusements. And making holy matrimony into a mere excuse and cover for such sins against nature is also surely, at least as any kind of moral norm, nothing other than MORTAL SIN.
PROMISCUOUS white men use inter-racial marriage as a shameless cover for their moral iniquities against nature. It is NOT essentially different from using "same-sex" marriage as a shameless cover for the abuse of male prostitutes or "inter-species" marriage as a cover with which to justify their unnatural sinful abuse against animals. In all of this, we are discussing MEN and not angels. We are discussing REAL-LIFE FLESH AND BLOOD men, not some non-existent awesomely sensitive angels in male human form who just happen to feel awesome love and attraction for other races (or sexes or animal species).
It ought not to be "rocket science" for Catholic men to understand that the sɛҳuąƖ attraction among non-white men for white European women is not significantly any better. When it comes to the attraction for sins against nature, men of every race are truly ALL TOO EQUAL. The sɛҳuąƖ attraction of non-white men towards white European women isn't significantly different from the moral motivations of the white men discussed previously. But the glee felt by Marxists towards the routine rape of white European women by non-white men is also a most blameworthy attitude always covered over with the great "sensitivity" of Marxists for inter-racial marriages.
The REALITY of miscegenation is so ugly and sinful, so similar to other sins against nature, that Holy Mother Church has left it to the Catholic States to forbid and suppress the criminal activities involved. Where does our Church specifically forbid LESBIANISM? Some sins against nature are just too weird and strange for Holy Mother Church to besmirch herself with.
Very high among these sins against nature is the grave sin of miscegenation that so greatly damages our abused and glorious human race. Truly THE GOOD ANGELS have no such problems and are much too good to worry about anything so low as sins against nature. But MEN are not in such elevated company as the angelic choirs, at least not yet on this side of the grave. Short of knowing ourselves worthy of canonisation, we should in humility take care to avoid the grave sin against nature known as miscegenation.
(It is true that some inter-racial marriages are NOT miscegenation, but such exceptions are nowadays most seriously few and far between.)
