In the 8th chapter of the Prophet Ezekiel of the Hebrew Bible, the prophet is shown a vision of the Temple in Jerusalem where the image of an idol stands in the North gate; the Elders of Judah are burning incense to the grotesque idols of the gentiles in a secret room in the temple complex; women observe a pagan ritual for a Canaanite fertility god; and men worship the sun between the porch and the altar with their backs to the LORD. For all these betrayals of Israel's leaders, the land was filled with every kind of abomination and capital crimes were being committed everywhere. Although the prophets were sent to the people for generations, they refused to heed and utterly corrupted themselves with the religions of the nations. For this Judah was obliterated by Nebudchanezzar, King of the Babylonian Empire who destroyed the temple of the LORD in 586 BC.
Last week a similar invasion into the holy place occurred when radical abortionist and marxist Barack Obama received an honorary doctorate degree in Law from Notre Dame. Although 74 Bishops and countless Priests, monks, sisters and laity protested, Jim Jenkins and the faculty at Notre Dame defied their admonitions and welcomed Obama with cheers. This marks the official apostasy of much of the American Catholic Church which has been weakened by liberal theology, tacit complicity with socialist programs, dumbed-down liturgy and the embrace of evolutionary theory.
In the 9th chapter of Ezekiel, an angel of the LORD is sent to seal the elect who weep and mourn for all the abominations being committed in Jerusalem. There are only two kinds of Catholics in America today: those who weep and mourn for the sell-out of Catholic values and those who have capitulated to the world.
When the Church hails as a hero and bestows high honors upon a marxist politician with the most extreme abortion position in the history of American politics, the lines are clearly drawn. What side are you on?
