Attacks on Marriage and the Family

On Monday, March 18th, only five days after the election of Pope Francis, NBC and ABC both highlighted Argentinean’s president, Cristina Kirchner, denouncing the “medieval” views of the then Cardinal Bergoglio (now Pope Francis). Anchorman Ron Claiborne of ABC’s World News, praised President Kirchner, adding that hers is a “new view of a changing world – embracing gay marriage, sex education in schools, free contraceptives in hospitals.” On that very same day, Hillary Clinton announced that she “is personally and publicly supportive of allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry…” audaciously adding that “to deny (gay couples) the opportunity (for marriage)…is to deny them the chance to live up to their own god-given potential.” (Human Rights Campaign Video)

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.” (2 Tim 4:3-4)

As Pope Leo XIII prophetically stated in his encyclical Humanum Genus on the evils of Freemasonry, “…their ultimate purpose forces itself into view - namely, the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.”

This spirit of Freemasonry has incrementally attempted to achieve its goal to destroy the Christian Social Order and to perniciously use the modern media at their disposal, to openly persecute the Roman Catholic Church and its Vicar, the Pope. There is an underlying coordinated agenda of homosexual marriage, contraception/abortion and sex education being promoted throughout the world. Freemasonry is shaping a “New World Order”, “a changing world” that embraces a “new morality”, or so-called “moral relativism”, where there are no absolute truths –. Therefore, to oppose any of their agendas, such as attributing the sacred term of marriage to a homosexual lifestyle, one will be accused of a “hate crime” for going against what they consider to be their “human right”. In other words, what was once considered an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22) is now considered “good”. The public is forced to pay for contraception against their consciences and parents are made to accept hedonistic views of sex education for their children. All this, in contradiction to the Gospel and to our Faith, and is a total inversion of Christian Morality.

St. Paul warned of these deceptions in his letter, 2 Thess. 2:9-12: “The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, be our model, and protect all the families of the world!

Mary’s Intercession

In 1917 St. Maximilian Kolbe witnessed the Freemasons in Rome demonstrating openly and belligerently against the Church. “The Freemasons began to spark their demonstrations with more and more effrontery, even raising their banners under the windows of the Vatican – banners which depicted on a black background Lucifer trampling underfoot the Archangel Michael. When they started to distribute vicious tracts against the Holy Father, the idea to establish a company to fight the Freemasons and other agents of Lucifer was born.” (St. Maximilian Kolbe) The Knights of the Immaculata evoke the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary to “crush the head of the serpent” (Gen. 3:15) and all heresies, especially the errors of Freemasonry.

Let us consecrate ourselves totally to Jesus through the Victorious Queen, the Blessed Virgin Mary, in order to live a life of holiness in true Christian marriages, where Christ is at its center. Let us also consecrate our families to Jesus, Mary and Joseph, educating our children in the splendors of the Faith and learning to live in that same harmony and peace of the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
