The Storm Clouds Are Gathering: Vortex

Yesterday’s Vortex (Oct. 21) is another call to arms for faithful Catholics.

You may notice a recurring theme, both on this blog and in the Vortex episodes: pray, fast, do penance. Learn the faith.

Nowhere is the dire state of this country in greater focus than in the advancement of the homosexualist agenda across the nation. MV notes that 43 percent of Americans currently live within a jurisdiction where “gay marriage” or “civil unions” are now legal. More and more, the right of Catholics to speak to the moral depravity of homosexual behavior is being undermined, and it seems inevitable that this will eventually be used as a means of persecution.

Wait…actually, it already is being used that way. There have been several cases in the news where business owners have been punished for not catering (literally and figuratively) to “gay marriage”.  As MV says:

The storm clouds are gathering and these forces are coalescing and since their origin is the demonic, and the object of the demonic is the destruction of the people of God – well, it doesn’t take a super intellect to see where this is going.

And he concludes this episode of the Vortex with the now-familiar exhortation:

For the strength that will be needed to withstand what is coming – faithful Catholics NOW need to start becoming even more dedicated to their faith. 

Prayer, STUDY, sacrifice.  Get to it.  The clock is running out.

When the Son of Man returns – will he find any faith on the earth?

  

These times are ripe for martyrs and saints.

The script:

With this past week’s ruling by the New Jersey State Supreme Court clearing the way for legalization of same-sex marriage in the Garden State, more and more is coming into focus.

That now makes 14 states and the District of Columbia that accept a romantic relationship built around sodomy as marriage.

That’s essentially a quarter of the states, BUT… when you stop to consider the populations of those states, it’s actually ONE-THIRD of the entire US now lives in a jurisdiction where men can “marry” men and women, women.

And when you throw in for good measure the other legal construct of “civil unions”, in another 5 states, the percentage swells to approaching half: 43 percent of Americans live in a legal environment where sex between two men or two women is blessed by the state and extended the same legal protections as traditional marriage, even if it isn’t called by that word marriage in every circumstance.

In practice, it IS viewed as marriage by the courts and lawmakers.

Did you catch that? Nearly half of the entire country, and this has all happened in less than ten years.

Once this becomes nationwide, which it will, it will inevitably be the case that the legal environment will then be used against faithful Catholics.

One can imagine any number of situations, oaths having to be taking, or contracts agreed to as a condition of employment for example.

Most of America’s top companies already support the gay agenda and while it isn’t an actual CONDITION of employment that each every worker support it, well, as we all know the way the world works, the unwritten code is you at least not voice any opposition.

This is already true across the board in the government.  Try voicing opposition to the gays in the military policy if you are in the military and see how long you last.

We could give millions of examples but here’s the point. The storm clouds are gathering and these forces are coalescing and since their origin is the demonic, and the object of the demonic is the destruction of the people of God – well, it doesn’t take a super intellect to see where this is going.

Little by little, faithful Catholics will be boxed into a corner and hemmed in on these moral issues and made to declare their support, explicitly or implicitly – and it’s already happening.

For the strength that will be needed to withstand what is coming – faithful Catholics NOW need to start becoming even more dedicated to their faith. 

Prayer, STUDY, sacrifice.  Get to it.  The clock is running out.

When the Son of Man returns – will he find any faith on the earth?
