Yesterday's Sinners are Today's Saints

Bishop Arthur Serratelli's article in the Archdiocese of Newark's official newspaper The Catholic Advocate (27 October 2010) could just have well been written by the editorial board of The New York Times or Playboy Magazine, for that matter, in it's neglect to name and condemn the sin of the sodomites. He is keen on judging and condemning ridicule (which might have been warranted given the circumstances: viz. the roommate wantonly engaging in leud conduct in the presence of the innocent roommate).


--The sexual immorality of homosexual activity needs to be roundly condemned.

--The leudness of any public demonstration of homosexual affection needs to be acknowledged and condemned.

--Appropriate social pressure needs to be applied to properly educate the young and discipline all (young and old) in morality: (n.b. the anti-sodomy laws of New Jersey [and of most of the States of the Nation] up until as recent as ten years ago).


Laws are necessary to teach people (young and old) what is right and wrong and to help them to stop doing what is wrong. New Jersey's anti-sodomy law would have obviated this tragedy because the immoral roommate would not be affronting the other roommate. He would recognize his immoral impulses as immoral and disordered and would hide them and work to eliminate them and in every other area of immorality. A college dormitory of unmarried persons is no place for any sexual activity, never mind sodomy, and especially while sharing the room with a third person (who is potentially corrupted and certainly offended by such displays of immorality).


It is curious that all of this is ignored by the Bishop who happens to be a leader in the National Conference of Catholic Bishops doctrinal commission. No wonder Catholic's are confused. Even the best of our bishops' judgement is corrupted by political correctness. He wants to condemn "homophobia" and has no fear of showing himself to be a homophile (a defender and promoter of the homosexual and immoral confusion and agenda). Do not make yesterday's sinners into today's saints. What was condemned as immoral yesterday is to be condemned also today.
