Mortal Sin Wrapped in Deadly Sin

There is a segment of our population that has come to celebrate a mortal sin wrapped up in a deadly sin.

I have not done much writing this Summer but early on I was taking a train to see Roosh Valizadeh give a talk.  Roosh is an interesting guy.

He gained internet fame or infamy as an author of pick-up books mainly focusing on meaningless notches (though his recent book, Game is geared more toward finding a decent long term relationship).  He is an unapologetic men’s rights commentator which gets him labeled a misogynist.

Roosh also was a vocal Trump supporter making the cyber-left even more triggered.

Reading some of his material and watching his live streams, I didn’t always agree 100% (I am a staunch supporter of Israel) but I find him to usually be accurate.  He also has an effortless dry humor that you rarely get from conservative talk radio.

Recently though, spurred on by the loss of his sister to cancer, Roosh has gotten further in touch with his Oriental Orthodox faith.  This has drawn me in even more.

He has quickly gone from someone who justified his sinful heterosexual lifestyle to someone who has made a serious effort to avoid meaningless sex after finding it leaving him empty.

I guess I can identify with what he is battling as I lived a similar lifestyle for years while practicing Catholicism.  We all struggle with temptation; thank God for Confession!

So while I was waiting for my train to go to the talk, I stopped in a local bar to kill time.  The bartender reminded me that it was “Pride Weekend” in the city I was travelling to.

I was unaware and a little annoyed that he was holding this talk on such a weekend.  This is a man rightfully outspoken against sodomy of all kinds.

Who says rightfully?  God!  The Bible discusses sexual immorality often.  Some examples:

1-Leviticus 18:22:  “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”

2-Leviticus 20:13:  “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.”

3-Romans 1:24-28:  “Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.”

I want all of you to go back and read number 3.  Sometimes we as heterosexuals get on our high horses pointing fingers how disgusting the homosexuals are.

But male-female sodomy is also mortally sinful.

Now, if you read this blog you know I have been very outspoken against the LGBTQ movement.  But I want to put in black and white my full position.

My problem is not with members of this community as individuals.  They are also God’s children.

I don’t know whether this condition is natural or nurtured; I suspect it can be either or a combination.

I have known some homosexuals in my lifetime, one being my late cousin who were good people I liked or even loved.

Just like we are all God’s children we are all sinners.  As an unmarried man, every time I fornicate with a woman (even in a relationship) I commit a mortal sin.

As Fr. John Corapi once said, these people carry a heavy cross as they are held to the same standard as priests-CELEBACY.

That’s right.  One of the reasons homosexual activity is a greater sin is it can never be made right in God’s eyes through marriage (no matter what any government which came along way after God’s Word says).

That’s why they need our prayers.  And once again, thank God for Confession.

My problem is with the leadership and championing of the LGBTQ movement.

This is a bullying cowardly agenda that tried to bankrupt bakers for practicing Christianity while looking the other way in silence as Muslims throw them from roofs and shoot up their nightclubs.

Even if you are a homosexual who is not in lockstep with this agenda like Peter Theil, Andy Ngo or Milo Yiannopoulos you are hung out to dry.

The advocates of this agenda are leading those they claim to fight for straight to hell.  Meanwhile, they openly advertise it as a deadly sin.

How you may ask?  Okay, back to Roosh.

I got into the area of the talk early so I wouldn’t have to rush to find the venue.  When I found the address I decided to grab a drink.

You couldn’t find an establishment that wasn’t flying rainbow flags (something ugly has forever hijacked something beautiful as another of their many lies).  So I went back to the event site.

I got to meet Roosh personally and spoke to him one-on-one for a few minutes.  He summed up the whole shenanigans going on outside.

He pointed out that the sodomy celebration was advertised as a “Pride” celebration.  What is “Pride?”

It’s one of the 7 deadly sins.  Talk soon.

PS:  There was recently a “Straight Pride” parade in Boston.  I fully support the idea.  What was once silly has become a necessity for traditional Westerners to combat the left’s nonstop onslaught on everything traditional and decent.

But they should consider renaming it a “Straight Celebration” or something along those lines.  Let the sodomites have their “Pride.”
