The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10

I find it entirely puzzling that a Cardinal of the Church would perform the opening invocation at the Democratic National Convention while just outside Planned Parenthood was giving away free abortions and vasectomies as part of their support for the DNC. The DNC platform itself wants to enshrine abortion up to the point of birth in our nation again and restore Roe V. Wade. It is here that when I look at a Cardinal giving his blessing while this surrounds him, the words of Paul to Timothy come to mind;

You must understand this, that in the last days distressing times will come.  For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, brutes, haters of good,  treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid them!  For among them are those who make their way into households and captivate silly women, overwhelmed by their sins and swayed by all kinds of desires, who are always being instructed and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7

I see not only all that is mentioned in the passage, I see what looks like a form of godliness but denies the power of God because it abandons the truth.

Now lest people get upset about my commentary on the DNC, please understand, I do not believe that any politician or party is our Savior. I just simply know that one party openly embraces the politics of Lucifer – non serviam! This article is not a commentary on the other party’s problems.

Everywhere you looked you saw signs or people speak of reproductive freedom, reproductive justice, reproductive health. These are all code words for reproductive destruction. Abortion and mutilation of gender confused children is not healthcare, nor is it just, nor is it free. It actually ensalves. And the end goal of all of this double speak is suppression of how a woman’s body naturally works, the killing of unwanted children, and the mutilation of children with confused identity. All of this policy echos into future generations. What we decide as a society matters. How many of us would not be here today if abortion had been legal prior to 1973? The irony is that while the DNC party platform began by thanking indigenous peoples, it then went on to call for the open destruction of their lineage in the guise of reproductive healthcare by making sure they have access to all these soul and body killing machinations.

You see the enemy isn’t satisfied with simply lying, or even killing. The end goal is always destruction. How many family lines have been wiped out by fertility stealing and child killing policies? Without children, whose fertility isn’t mutilated, there is no future generation. Humanity collapses under the weight evil dressed up as good.

If you want to know what happened to our society that sent us hurtling towards war with one another, look no further than the stealing of fertility, which killed not just the children, but destroyed the family and the lineage of families all over the world. It is no wonder we have no peace.

The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? – Mother Teresa, February 5, 1994 at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC.

This post is not meant as judgment on people who have struggled with these issues, it is meant to point out the evil of a larger agenda which is crushing and dismantling our society. We can argue all day long about other issues but if we don’t stop murdering and suppressing future generations there will be nothing left.

Thankfully the church has provided the answer and it is why she is so counter-cultural. Yes, there are prelates who don’t adhere to truth, but the truth is still there.

Did you know that during pregnancy women breathe in more oxygen? It makes me in awe of how good God is. Throughout scripture we hear about the breath of God.

“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” – Job 33:4

See how God invites us into His creative life-giving process? His breath sustains the woman, and her breath (which comes from Him), increases, not for her own sake, but for the sake of her baby who receives it through the cord connecting them.

God’s own Son, the second person of the Blessed Trinity, put Himself in this position, receiving breath from the Blessed Virgin Mary in her womb. Almost every woman can partake in this cooperative gift. But instead, we urge them to work against their own bodies and worse still, against God.

The church is also given her breath by God and can breathe life into her flock sustaining them rather than scattering them. To the prelates out there, stop scattering your flock with messages that promote evil agendas hidden in lying language.

Life is a gift and is precious. Don’t take the road to destruction.
