Fr. Z's Blog

My friend Fr. Raymond de Souza wrote at National Catholic Register “It’s time to turn down the temperature”. His basic idea is that Archbp. Viganò was wrong to call for Francis to resign and Team Francis were wrong to engage in character smearing and stonewalling:  both sides need to tone it down.   Canonist Ed Peters wrote a thorough response to Fr. de Souza at his blog In The Light of the Law.    I think Peters makes the better argument, which is in essence:

[T]he shouting in this mess is coming overwhelmingly from one side, the side that has been wronged! To call on ‘both sides’, then, “to turn down the temperature” is, therefore, effectively aimed at squelching one side here, the victims!

Allow me to riff for awhile.

Team Francis and their allies in the MSM are stonewalling.  They want all of this to go away.  If they can hang on, it’ll pass.  Cunctando regitur mundus.

At the dark foundation of The Present Crisis is the fact of a homosexualist agenda in the Church which has infiltrated to offices of great power.   There are other issues too, but that’s a key.  Nothing will be solved if that isn’t dealt with.  Various are the approaches, but something must be done.  The only thing worse than choosing a less than perfect solution, would be do to nothing.

While I do not buy the claims of some, such as Jesuit homosexualist James Martin, LGBTSJ, that there are “thousands” of US priests who are homosexuals, I do believe that the percentage of those that there are in the clergy are higher, percentage wise mind you, among bishops.  That’s going to make this a very hard hill to take.

The homosexualist agenda has had a long game strategy.   They always have. They work by creeping incrementalism.   They are incredibly well organized. As I have written before (for example HERE).  A sample:

I have been writing for a long time now that the next step in the homosexualist agenda is to eliminate the “age of consent” limit.   They approach their goals through creeping (and creepy) incrementalism.  They will eventually rehabilitate even pedophilia, with the consent and aid of the mainstream media and liberals everywhere, even within the Church. […]

For decades our society has been slowly but surely and purposely shifted by those in control of the mainstream media and entertainment industry.

At first, because of the rise of AIDS, active homosexuals were constantly portrayed as innocent, though perhaps quirky, victims. Once the notion of homosexuality was shifted from its moorings and a new status was created in the minds of the public, another shift took place in the media. Now, TV shows and movies are saturated with homosexuals who are far more sophisticated, with it, intelligent, good looking than their more dysfunctional heterosexual counterparts. Victim time is over. It is cool to be “gay”.

For years an artificial sub-culture has been carefully crafted.  It is busting out into a “new normal”.

The are more goals down the line.

[…]

Now, as I continue my riff, track back in the above to the part about homosexualist “victim status” as a tactic to shift public perception.

Do you all remember the pivotal and diabolically shrewd “Silence = Death” campaign?   There was a famous poster and then variations that followed.

Look at that last one.  Doesn’t that exemplify the tweets of certain homosexualists and Team Francis?

“Silence = Death” leads to “Act Up”.

You can see this leftist tactic playing out in the Senate hearing for future-Justice Kavanaugh.  Alinsky would be proud.

The Silence=Death campaign was a vital step in the long-term, incremental project.

What the homosexualists know and what the papalatrous know – from their strong leftist roots, is that all rhetoric aimed at effecting social and political change must, above all, be heard.

Hence, the homosexualists and papalatrous (there’s a lot of coincidence, as we now know – thank you Archbp. Viganò et al.) will do all that they can to shut down any criticism, every call for clear answers, investigations of corruption, resignations, etc.

They have to KILL every question – and even, ecclesiastically at least, every questioner.  Some, like Madame Defarge, take that notion beyond mere dark humor.

We cannot afford, at this pivotal moment, to fall into the trap of turning down the temperature, toning down the rhetoric.  That’s what the homosexualist and papalatrous want.

Even so, we must not devolve into total lack of decorum and violations of charity.  However, we must keep the heat up in order to keep the water moving, boiling.

I repeat what Ed Peters pointed out to Fr. de Souza – and I am NOT putting the great Fr de Souza into the Leftist category, the very idea of which is hilarious! –

[T]he shouting in this mess is coming overwhelmingly from one side, the side that has been wronged! To call on ‘both sides’, then, “to turn down the temperature” is, therefore, effectively aimed at squelching one side here, the victims!

In the present case, we might say… and the pun is intended:

Silence = Stonewall

The homosexualist agenda is all over attempts to silence those who want the Church to be purified through The Present Crisis.  They are clearly stonewalling.

Some of you younger readers might not know that “Stonewall”, which came to mean “holding the line” from Gen. Jackson’s stand in the Civil War, also refers to radical homosexuality and the homosexualist agenda because of violent pro-homosexual riots in NYC in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn which had been converted by members of the Genovese Mafia family purposely into a “gay bar”.

All the disgusting things that you might have read about when it comes to homosexuals “acting up” took place at the now iconic (for “gays”) Stonewall Inn, and have become part of the homosexualist agenda.   It is ironic in the extreme that a Mafia crew controlled such a place.   It goes to show that when some people talk about a “lavendar mafia” or an Italian “gay lobby” which controlled seminaries and institutions… WE KNOW WHAT THE HELL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

We are finally exposing the entangled networks of corruption which afflict Holy Mother Church and which twist and enervate her mission.   Masons, Communists, homosexualists and the mob have sought to infiltrate the Church’s highest positions.  I had personal experience in Rome of attempts from different groups – and I was warned about them ahead of time, thanks be to God – to pull me into nefarious stuff.

The Stonewall Inn could be the icon of what certain ecclesial and secular powers are trying to do to those who are looking for answers, answers, more answers and ACTION.

No, we will not tone it down.  With all due respect, we must not turn down the temperature.

Silence would equal the death of truth.
