ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP: ‘YOU HAVE TO BE POLITICALLY INCORRECT’ The Roman Catholic Leader Urged Graduates Of Thomas Aquinas College To Stand Up For Biblical Principles In The Public Square.
At the commencement ceremonies at Thomas Aquinas College in California earlier this month, the Bishop of Madison, Wis., the Most Rev. Robert C. Morlino told graduates they “have to be politically incorrect” in today’s world. Serving perhaps one of the most morally backslidden communities in the U.S., Morlino reminded the graduates that in today’s society, truth “offends people,” and that one of the most offensive things anyone can say today is that “men are men and women are women”: “Who would ever think that that’s controversial? If you’re a man, then be a man. If you’re a woman, then be a woman. That’s speaking truth. And that’s what our world does not want to hear. And so now we don’t know what marriage is and we’re not even sure what it means to be a male or a female. People are even trying to come up with proper names to give gender-neutral children.” Morlino told the graduates part of their mission in life will be to “make the voice of reason heard in our culture,” and to shine their light “on the darkness of our world.” That means, he added, they often “have to be politically incorrect.”
The bishop also touched on the subject of marriage, on natural law, democracy, and Western civilization. He also discussed human nature, invoking Isaiah 59:14, which states: “Justice is turned backward, and righteousness stands far off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” (MEV) Morlino concluded with an admonition about courage, which he described as “a gift infused by God” that is acquired and perfected through practice, adding: “If you want to be courageous in speaking the truth, you have to practice doing it precisely in those situations where it is difficult. Don’t be like Peter during the Passion, sitting quietly with your head down hoping no one will notice you. You are called to be like Peter on the day of Pentecost, speaking the truth boldly without waiting to be asked. “You have been sacramentally equipped by your baptism and confirmation and intellectually equipped by your education to be witnesses to the truth of Jesus Christ. That means you must witness to the truth as Jesus Christ taught it. And that means at times you offend a lot of people. So it’s very hard to be a witness to Jesus Christ. It’s easier to just go with the flow. 'Go along to get along,' as they say. Well, we’ve had enough going along to get along. It takes courage to speak the truth of Christ, but do not be afraid!” Christ, the bishop reminded them, has overcome the world, and He is alone the only hope who never disappoints.
I await the day when daughter of whore will proclaim Catholic Church as a hate-group. Nothing purifies and strengths the Church as a good persecution
Lucas Bennett
Nice, our Bishop. Speaking truth in times of madness.
Parker King
this tbh. The Church has always flourished during and immedietly after persecution. I feel we've become very relaxed and think we'll be secure forever
Ian Murphy
Can't wait for based pope to btfo the progressive left after Francis
Cameron Rogers
I'm not an expert on the Catholic church's inner workings but isn't that kind of unlikely? My understanding is that Francis has been stuffing the ranks of the cardinals with more and more leftists. It would be great to have Cardinal Sarah or someone like him as pope but isn't a little Francis jr more likely?
Kayden Richardson
It's up to the Spirit to pick a Pope. They can try all the political games they want, God decides if he want to let them pick a terrible Pope to teach us a lesson or he wants a good Pope to guide us.
Colton Sanders
whomstdve?
Camden Perry
Like France, eh?
Owen Taylor
Unfortunately this is already happening for the Orthodox church. In small steps for now but i'm afraid they will take a harder approach in the future. Articles of Orthodox and how backwards, reactionary, unprogressive etc they are are pretty common in the western media.
Michael Ward
we preach the scandal of God in the cross.
Carson Baker
Persecution. Not destroyed from within by traitors.
William Hall
There will be those who are swayed by the drumbeat of secular progress and those who are the salt of the earth to the last. There will be both persecution for the faithful, and those who were subverted and seek to subvert from within.
David White
The papacy I would think
Chase Roberts
...
Jonathan Rogers
Use your head. He means the SPLC or the ADF, or any of those organizations.
Dylan Hughes
I thought it said Politically Correct and almost got mad.
Nathaniel Barnes
Which media are you talking about? I never see anyone even talking about Orthodoxy here (Murrica).
I like Bishop Morlino, he is great. He forced all parishes to install kneelers so everyone would have the option of receiving the host kneeling
Jaxson Edwards
I don't because I'm not a cuckservative desperate to appeal to leftists, nor do I subscribe to their view that "racism" is wrong. I want the most effective orthodox Pope there could be, and there are possibilities beyond cdl. Sarah to consider. People like you would end up with some voodoo doctor syncretist preaching ooga booga from the pulpit because his tribe hates homosexuals, and he's a BASED BLACK MAN.
Jose Hill
Tbh if you're a catholic and have a faith, you shouldn't be worried that things will go wrong. The holy spirit will pick the best pope for us and sort it out. I mean, if you have no faith, you shouldn't believe in papacy in the first place.
James Wright
Speak for yourself. I do not. We don't need to suck up to liberals and cucks by having based black men in charge. We need as traditionalist pope as we can get. Someone to stand up to the decay.
