On the Culture of Death

EVIL is absolutely particular, good is absolutely absolute.

Therefore, let us think also in this way - a terrorist is an individual person not a people just as much as criminal acts are recognized by justice as individual acts and are not national in their scope.

And in this way banish this day, in this generation, some of the things that might forever haunt us in the history of our children and their better tomorrows.

Justice may be portrayed as blind but it is not mindless nor does it ever relax it's strict vigilance over the civil peace of the people; it is the marrow that gives strength to the very bones of the state.

A culture of death is a culture of contempt for life. It is a culture that breeds the darkness that sustains the beast of war.

It harbors a great disregard and common disrespect for the universal spirit of all the heroes of life as all our patriarchs, prophets, judges, kings, queens, apostles, bishops, martyrs, virgins, doctors, saints, holy personages and even the common peoples of mankind, known and known to God alone: All who are particularly beloved of every honorable religion, and the one Icon of life, the one true Divinity, the one Creator of all sacred life in all It's revealed mystery.

In my own humble observation, after much thought and prayers about the matter, I have come to believe that the roots of this culture of death are:

1. Heretical Materialism - the social doctrine that both the goal and the substance of life is purely material because the physical universe is all there is.

2. Atheistic Secularism - the religion that believes there is no God because man is independent and self-sufficient by himself alone.

3. Moral Relativism - the lie that believes that justice is arbitrary because there are no moral absolutes as both good and evil come in convenient shades of gray.

4. Social Darwinism - the lie that believes that brute force is the singular social requirement, in the absence of virtue and truth, that measure the excellence of nations or individuals.

LET US REMEMBER that these evils are to our nations like the plague and it affects the atmosphere that the universal spirit of all mankind needs to be able to breathe properly and therefore directly affect the health of the life of our one family of nations.

Let none of us believe that any of us is exempt from these evils, lest our mindfulness in prayer and vigilance of heart be as fickle and vain as the external world. They bring war into the hearts of our nations and slaughter into the souls of our peoples.

Prosper the Peace. Prosper the People.

Sancta Santis!

Glory to God in the highest
Adoration to Jesus Christ
Peace to men of good will.

THE ANGER of men does not serve the righteousness of God.

Make your peace with each other before the setting of the sun, thus do you recognize and uphold your human dignity and sacred honor, one with another, as common peers in common creation.

Prove unto your own selves that divine justice does not divide our troubled hearts like the darkness of war but restore our troubled hearts to our one common belongings in the outstretched arms of God's peace.

It takes courage to accept our common humanity.
