The National Conspiracy of Silence

A Flying Buttress Alert

+April 25 has been designated by the Homosexual Mafia as a “National Day of Silence,” to encourage high school students to protest the alleged bullying, name-calling and harassment against “gays” and to demonstrate their solidarity with them.

+The Flying Buttress is commenting on this event because a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, St. Xavier, is listed as participating in this scandal.

+This should come as no surprise to our readers, given that St. X is a Jesuit high school, that it is located in a lavender diocese, and that our Archbishop, Daniel Pilarczyk, has made a career out of undermining the teachings of the Church by supporting the homosexual “cause.” But Pilarczyk is certainly not alone in the American Church.

+So it is that on April 25, all across the American Conference, our most degenerate elements will don the prestige of their sanctimonious self-deception, and in a futile attempt to mask their enslavement to sin, jump willingly into this national game of Look the Other Way.

+The Flying Buttress does not condone bullying or harassment. Neither do we condone, however, the bald-faced lie that homosexuality is perfectly normal behavior because homosexuals are “born that way,” and/or have no control over their fate. It is that lie which has created this national game.

+Playing the game certainly has its advantages. It allows both homosexuals and their heterosexual “allies” to flatter themselves with labels like “compassionate,” “tolerant,” “diverse,” and “inclusive” - and, conversely, to label those who refuse to participate as bigoted, hateful, homophobic and discriminatory. It paves the way for participants to receive plenty of foundation money, intellectual and academic affirmation, media attention, and prestige. It supposedly allows participants to have sex with whomever they wish without the burden of guilt – not only without guilt, but with pride! It means membership in an exciting militant movement, a revolution. And it means, of course, “liberation.”

+But playing the game also has its disadvantages. First and foremost among them is to willfully invite spiritual and eternal death by celebrating crimes against God. Second is leaving oneself open to the seduction of satanism, which is closely linked to homosexuality. Third is the cultivation of another deadly sin, pride. Fourth is the vulnerability to physical disfigurement or death by sexually transmitted disease or by the rage of a jilted sex partner. Fifth is the delusion and self-deception inherent in the misuse of the word “compassion.”

+Let’s consider this interpretation of “compassion.” Is it really compassionate to encourage the self-destruction of a soul, to cheer his descent into suffering and darkness by assuring him that there is nothing wrong with his behavior because, for example, “God is love”?

+No, this is not compassion at all, but the most vicious and cynical cruelty.

+What about prestige? Is it really enlightened to approve of homosexuality because all the Very Important People do – the UN, the European Union, the US government, academia, the press, Hollywood, psychologists?

+Oh, do you mean like all those Very Important People who, their prestige threatened by their own Messiah, plotted against Him and eventually put Him to death?

+What about love? Don’t homosexuals have the right to have loving same-sex relationships, even marriage?

+No, there is no right to be loved, except in a society which has made itself sick with the idea of “entitlement.”

+What about discrimination? Doesn’t the Church discriminate against the civil rights of homosexuals by denying them the sacrament of marriage, the sacrament of Holy Orders, and by condemning their behavior as sin?

+If morality is discrimination then there is no civilization, only the inverted and perverted anarchic world of Lucifer.

+If anything, April 25 should be a National Day of Mourning and Prayer for all the souls who have been lost to this disorder. Yet publicly, and in too many darkened corners of the Roman Catholic Church, there will be no mourning, but only more vain and foolhardy stanzas added to this ever-quickening Invocation of Death.

By Their Fruits You Shall Know Them

+In this, the last in our series about the Roamin’ Homosexual Catholic Church in America, we respond, less discreetly than is our custom, to this schismatic federation’s sacrilegious insults against decency, dignity, and all that is holy.

+The blasphemous degeneracy of the RHCCIA is embodied in the “Sisters of Perpetual Self-Indulgence,” one of their new religious orders based in San Francisco, which brazenly confronts us with the most advanced development as well as the logical conclusion of “liberation.” We refer of course to the satanic heresy that homosexuality is normal behavior.

+In order to help sane Catholics put this plague in its proper perspective, The Flying Buttress has submitted an article on the topic to the Catholic Encyclopedia, excerpted below, which traces the recent history of this school of “thought.” We hope that those readers who have been baffled and frustrated by the pervasive double-talk of their own Roman Catholic Church (from whom the RHCCIA, after all, has sprung) will find it to be a handy reference tool and a source of refreshing clarity.

DOCTRINE

While not foremost among the doctrinal disputes that troubled the Church during the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), homosexuality nevertheless occupies a pervasive if unspoken place in modern ecclesiastical history. According to reliable observers at the Council, it was the liberal peritus Franz Faerius, a Bavarian theologian, who most insistently attempted to de-mythologize and rationalize the ancient taboo. In this he was carefully groomed by his uncle, the Dutch prelate Hans Cardinal Nefaerius, who occupied a position on the Theological Commission.

The doctrine which Hans and Franz attempted to promulgate was their affirmative response to the ageless question of whether homosexual relationships, which can neither beget nor be begotten, can have any validity when measured by the standard of “be fruitful and multiply.” Since their initial conclusion in favor of validity was too radically opposed to tradition, thus meeting with little favor and much revulsion, they were forced to soften, as it were, the blow.

Their solution to the obstacle of tradition was developed by blurring the problem itself. That is, the terminologies of science and psychology were employed both to obfuscate the issue and to clothe the taboo in an aura of respectability. Thus, two different causes of homosexuality were proposed: the first, homofusion, was based on the hypothesis that homosexuality is inborn because of an imbalance among x and y chromosomes and their faulty amalgamation, resulting in gender confusion.

The second variety was dubbed homofission, and referred to the theory that this behavior resulted from an early separation from one’s father or from some traumatic early childhood experience.

As their new ideas were feverishly circulated behind the scenes, Hans and Franz gained considerable support among the liberal alliance of Church Fathers.

HISTORY

Attempting to exploit their influence at its height, Faerius and Nefaerius inserted a pregnant footnote favorable to their cause into the Council Declaration Nostra Aetate. This footnote, appearing at the first phrase of the Declaration’s second sentence (“In her task of promoting unity and love among men…”), read as follows:

“By the words of Our Lord, ‘Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men,’ (Mt. 4:19) it is readily apparent that Our Lord’s own vision of unity and love among men did not exclude same-sex attractions and relationships. The Church therefore also recognizes and does not reject that which is good and holy among the practices of the ancient Greeks, whose spiritual patrimony has added so much to the theological foundation of our faith.”

However, after this footnote was discovered and, in a rare defense of tradition, removed by Paul VI himself, the doctrinal cohesion among advocates of the initiative quickly unraveled into petty and vindictive internecine disputes. For example, a prominent spokesman for the “homofusion” school of thought, Swiss theologican Otto Opprobrious, contemptuously dismissed the “homofission” theory as a “logical phallusy.” In response, his counterpart, comparative religion professor Charles Constantine Contumelious, repudiated “homofusion” as a “riddle wrapped in an enigma cloaked in a condom.”

Though these early attempts to portray homosexuals as universal victims of either biological or familial circumstance proved temporarily unsuccessful (despite their wholehearted adoption by the Society of Jesus), this in no way restrained or discouraged the clerical practitioners of this behavior, who flourished throughout the Church after the Council. In fact, as evidenced by the 1986 USCCB document “On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,” their heresy ultimately carried the day and is now espoused by a solid majority of American bishops and priests.
