Should we destroy places of sin?

spouse of Jesus · « **Reply #1 on:** March 20, 2009, 04:38:35 AM »

it is written it the story of Life of St. Dominic Savio that he once saw a bad magazine in the hand of one of his classmates,he took it and tore it into pieces.and we know that St. Dominic Savio is one of those Saints who kept his baptismal innocence till death.
it means that it was not/is not a sin to tear an other person's magazine into pieces,and thus damage their property.
an other example:if some person owns a bomb which he keeps in his bag,aren't we obliged to take it from him and destory it?and a bomb can only kill the body while sin kills the soul which is much more important that the body.

In regards to the destruction of property... if it saves a life (or numerous lives) or the life of ones soul, I believe it is permissible. I remember reading that Dante Aleghiri (did I spell it right?) broke open a baptismal font to save a young boy who fell in it from drowning (they were big and deep batismal fonts meant for submersion).

However... you have to remember, we are NOT living in a society that fears the law of God, or any god for that matter. If we were living back then in the 19th or 18th centuries, if an abortion clinic or porn shop was set up in a town, the town folk would burn the place down as soon as it opened up and chase the proprieters out of town (if they didnt tar and feather them). Unfortunately such a thing will never happen in our day since no group of people has the courage to do so, and even if you did, the federales are definitely going to pick you up... if they dont TAKE YOU OUT first. For that very reason, I dont advocate this type of action. In order for this type of action, you would need ABSOLUTE ANARCHY in order to get away something like this, and which wont happen since martial law is right around the corner. So no, I dont recommend anybody doing this!

All I can say is... pray as hard as you can and wait for the Great Monarch.

Plus, we Traditionalists are already considered "terrorists" by the feds. If anyone was stupid enough to bomb a porn shop or something, we would open up a pandoras box of persecution, and it's not going to be like all the other persecutions because this time our hunters have TECHNOLOGY. In fact the elite would just love for some gun happy redneck to start shooting so that they could initiate martial law. So I say dont fire any guns unless it's to protect yourself, your family or property, otherwise, take a chillpill and put the gun back in it's cabinet!

Actually what we need right now are not armed protests, or any other kind of protests for that matter. What we need are PUBLIC ROSARY PROCESSIONS! We need to stop going to pro-life rallies with protestants etc. and join together in public rosaries! Our Lady would be pleased more with a public rosary of 100 asking for her intercession rather than 300,000 heretics protesting and waving around signs, the media doesnt pay any atention anyway! But Our Lady is sure paying attention! She said she would save the world through her rosary and scapular, she didnt say that she would save the world through large protests.

So if anyone wants to continue calling themselves a pro-lifer, they need to drop their sign and pick up a rosary and join a procession!

Thank you all for your well though out replies and respect, for now I'll stick to praying. God Bless and pray for me.

BTW, I do not advocate burning down anything, I just wanted to get others opinions on this hypothetical question, prayer is the best remedy and I will pray the rosary to drive out the smut peddlers and merchants of death. God Bless

I agree 100%. The rosary is the greatest weapon of all.

Also, I believe the Crusaders, the Vendeeans, the Re-Conquistadors, the Shimabarans, etc would have wanted us to to make recourse to Our Lady rather than arms. Though of course, processions are how their rebellions for the faith started!

Great Popes like Pius X, never advocated burning down brothels or bars.

All you can do is pray and try to get the people in your town to put pressure on the government to drive that garbage out.

And if the people are too morally bankrupt to care, then shake the dust of that place of your shoes and leave ASAP.

I agree with everything said here. There is also the fact that you don't know who is in the building when you set fire to it (ie. employees staying after-hours to finish up on things or security guards who protect the premises).

but suppose you burn a brothel ,it will take some time (for example 2months)to rebuild it,and in this 2 months many sins are prevented from being commited in that place!

You can't burn a brothel without the possibility of injuring or killing someone in there. "Johns" come to the brothel all hours of the day and night (all night till the early morning hours).

So let me get this straight: you asked a question and now you're all mad because you didn't get the answer you want?

Why ask the question?

And are you my wife?
