His Eminience William Cardinal LEVADA, Praefectus
Your Eminence,
Please receive and review this <<Open Letter>> with all the gravity and seriousness which the subject matter, by its very nature, demands. The author, who is trying to remain anonymous,
Unfortunately, none of this has not produced any canonical effect whatsoever - to the best of his/her knowledge - proportionate to the offense committed by the herein mentioned lay personnel involved in the public scandal.
The author hereby wishes to initiate the added step of a formal delation of the entire subject matter to the Sacred Congregation for the Faith.
Sincerely,
Anonymous, a practicing Roman Catholic.
<<Matrimonia Satanica Sodomia>>
The dissenting positions of so-called“practicing Catholics” within the
Diocese of Charleston are quite well known with regard to specific
moral norms: namely, Catholics who publicly admit the sinful
practice of contraception; and, even more to be
condemned, intrauterine and in-vitro artificial fertilization [Dr
Edward MOORE, Carolina Center for Fertility - CMG (04/09/12)];
sterilization by Catholic doctors [Dr HULECKI- no longer in
Columbia - vasectomies]; culminating in removal of nutrition and
hydration from unconscious or comatose patients in so-called
“Catholic” hospitals. [Sisters of Charity Providence follow “State
Directives on Elective Removal of Artificial Nurtrition and
Hydration” - CMG (04/09/12)]
All of these persons continue to remain in good ecclesial standing and sacrilegiously partake of the Most Holy Eucharist on a regular basis.
This impiety is nothing new and has been cancerously eating at the
Church’s vitals for the last 35 or 40 years.
What is new and unheard-of is the more or less tacit and/or open
approval of the homosexual sub-culture and its corresponding public
manifestations by recent Bishops of Charleston, clergy, religious, and
laity who approve of the evil Vice of Sodomy, whether by
silence, evasion, or consent; and a notably feeble defense of the
objective moral order revealed by God and infallibly proposed by
the ecclesiastical Magisterium for twenty centuries, up to and
including, the Pontificate of Benedict XVI.
For example, the Synod of Charleston, promulgated in 1995 by the ultra-liberal and feminist-friendly Bishop David Thompson, states as follows: “…the Church in South Carolina is sensitive to the presence of homosexual persons in the life of the Church and civil society.”
This is absolutely equivalent to giving these individuals rights of citizenship in the Church and society which they do not possess as practicing homosexuals.
Their right of citizenship in the Church arises from their Baptism and Confirmation; their right of citizenship in society arises from this being the country of their birth. In these things, they differ
from none of the other faithful.
In the January 15, 2012 edition of The State newspaper, in the Section entitled, “Weddings and Engagements,” to the great sorrow and indignation of devout Catholics, many non-Catholics, and
even some (orthodox) Jews; one reads the following:
“A celebration of marriage (sic) was held on Saturday, January 14, 2012, at 2pm at the Reformation Lutheran Church in Columbia…Both of the grooms’ fathers served as best men, (this writer’s emphasis), as well as Mr. Robert Dale Watson…” (writer’s emphasis in bold).
“Mr. (Michael,not Robert) Watson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Ralph Watson (Athletic Coach - Emeritus of Cardinal Newman High School - not in original text)…He is a graduate of
Cardinal Newman High School…(sic)
Robert Dale Watson is an active Faculty/Staff member of Cardinal Newman High School which falsely - and therefore fraudulently - claims to “…form Students in the Catholic
Tradition.”
“Some people conclude that their tendency (i.e., homosexual
orientation or affect) is so natural that it justifies in their case
homosexual relations withinn a sincere communion of life and love
analogous to marriage…(cf., Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of
the Faith, PersonaHumana, Declaration on Certain Questions
Concerning Sexual Ethics, [1975], n. 8).
marriage…even worse when dealing with ‘couples’ of the same sex, something unknown in the cultural histories of people and in law,
even if they are not presented as ‘marriage.’ ” (cf., Pontifical Council for the Family, Eucharistic Coherence of Politicians and Legislators, His Eminence Alfonso Lopez Cardinal Trujillo, October 7, 2005)
[for…]
“…homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered and can in no case be approved of. ” (cf., Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Persona Humana, Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, [1975], n. 8).
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that (Mr) Robert Dale Watson be immediately terminated from the employ of a Catholic institution which at least claims to be such…
If this is not done, the internal coherence (ad intra) and external Evangelical witness (ad extra) of the Catholic Diocese of Charleston is placed in serious doubt and peril…and all this to the grave detriment of the good of the Church -both local and universal;
as well as the glory and honor of God and the salvation of souls, which is the supreme law of the Church.

“22. There are some things we must never do, as individuals or as a society, because they are always incompatible with love of God and neighbor. Such actions are so deeply flawed that
they are always opposed to the authentic good of persons. These are called “intrinsically evil” actions. They must always be rejected and opposed and must never be supported or
condoned.
“46. The human person is not only sacred but also social. Full human development takes place in relationship with others. The Family - based on Marriage between a man and a woman- is the first and fundamental unit of society and is a Sanctuary for the creation and nurturing of children. It should be defended and strengthened, not redefined or undermined by permitting same-sex unions or other distortions of marriage."

Worship pleasing to God can never be a purely private matter, without consequences for our relationships with others: it demands a public witness to our faith.

Janet Smith responds to Alice von Hildebrand’s critique of Christopher West
ReplyDeleteLima, Peru, Oct 22, 2010 / 01:04 am (CNA).-
Smith also discussed the debate surrounding whether or not dwelling on the details of Christ’s birth displays an inordinate curiosity.
“Von Hildebrand’s response to West’s likening the birth of his son to the birth of Jesus is curious. She believes it is incorrect to think that Mary may have expelled a bloody placenta. Pregnant wombs have placentas,” Smith wrote. “Did not Mary’s? Would it be wrong to think it might have been bloody? Christ’s body was covered with blood when he died, was it not? Scripture itself makes reference to Mary’s womb and breasts; is the placenta really so objectionable that it could not be mentioned?
• Louis Tofari
Our Lady did not expel a placenta; the Virgin Birth (hence, no blood) was miraculous and did not take place in the normal manner. Such has been related by numerous saintly writers and theologians.
Replying to Louis Tofari
Dear Mr.Tofari,
The "virginitas in partu" (virginity in giving birth) is not just a "pious tradition"...it is a Catholic Dogma "de fide divina et catholica" - which must be believed by "Divine and Catholic faith," infallibly proposed by the ordinary and universal Magisterium; whose denial on the part of Janet Smith is therefore - formally heretical and presumably malicious: she cannot be excused on account of ignorance. The specific contents of this Catholic dogma are as follows: non-rupture of the physical virginal integrity (I omit the biological term "ex reverentiam"); the absence of labor pains; AND...the "sine sordibus" - the absence of the biological accidents of natural birth: placenta, umbilical cord, etc. Janet Smith's blasphemous expression, "...pregnant women (sic-!) have placentas," just indicates her degree of hatred for Our Lord Jesus Christ and his Most Holy and Immaculate Mother...[cf., Pius XII, in Mystici Corporis: "...it was a miraculous birth." Vatican II: "..whose birth not only did not diminish his Mother's virginal integrity, but augmented it;" repeated by John Paul II in his catechetical and Marian discourses...]
