Cultural Cleansing of Christian Males

[libertybele]

People really need to wake up as to what being "politically correct" is costing us.

Cultural Cleansing of Christian Males



The culture war against Christianity is picking up speed.

Last week came word Saint Louis University will remove a heroic-sized statue of Fr. Pierre-Jean De Smet S.J. from the front of Fusz Hall, where it has stood for 60 years.

The statue depicts Fr. De Smet holding aloft a crucifix as he ministers to two American Indians, one of whom is kneeling.

Historically, the statue is accurate. Fr. De Smet, “Blackrobe,” as he was known, was a 19th-century missionary to Indian tribes who converted thousands. A friend of Sitting Bull, he spent his last years in St. Louis.

And as the mission of this Jesuit university is, presumably, to instruct the Catholic young in their faith and send them out into the world to bring the good news of Jesus Christ as Lord and savior to nonbelievers, what exactly is the problem here?...

...The message the SLU president should have given the dissenters is simple: We are a Catholic university that welcomes students and faculty not of the faith. But if you find our identity objectionable, then go somewhere else. We are not changing who we are....

I wonder if De Smet, SD was named for him.

Those Native Americans were fulfilling Paul's prophecy that, "every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord." De Smet loved them enough to do the work so that they would do so in this life, willingly, rather than involuntarily at the judgment consigning them to a Christless eternity.

No racism in that, just a religious belief those who objected probably reject.

If he was a Muslim and shown beheading those that did not convert to Islam, then it would been okay to leave it there. To remove it would have shown insensitivity to the Islamic faith.

There are forces in modern life which are separating us from our well established traditions and culture.
As an example, property ownership, specifically land ownership.
Our ties to the agrarian land that were physical and emotional, also led to us being more spiritual.
As less and less of the population have ties to land, our spiritual hungers are also subsiding.
There are organic reasons why it's become easier for progs to tear down our society with campaigns like the cultural cleansing of Christian males.

This is a very debated argument in Christian circles. It was taught in the early Church during the Roman persecutions that it was better to die than to sin by killing. The believers at the time believed that to suffer for the sake of Jesus was an honor because He suffered for us. Death is not the end in the Christian faith. Christians are not to seek death but neither are we to be afraid of death.

Unlike Muslim belief heaven is not a reward for martyrdom, that is the guaranteed destination for all believers. Martyrdom is just a demonstration of faith in Christ. The ultimate sign that a believer trusts in the promises of God.

With that said, I would like to believe that I would except martyrdom as my fate but I suspect I will fight to the death to avoid it or to spare my family and friends. I believe that Christ died for my sins, even the killing of an enemy while trying to save my loved ones if that is a sin.

The culture that cleanses Christian males also rebelled at the idea of the role of females in our society.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the pursuit of equality.
Someone took your feminist ball away from you and ran with it, leaving you in the lurch.
Now you're issue raped and are doomed to look back at your life's work with nothing but regret.
Congratulations modern feminist...

(CNSNews.com) --

 Feminist theorist and author Germaine Greer said that the concept of motherhood has been “emptied out” and is “gone” in a lecture on women’s progress at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales on May 23.

The outspoken Australian feminist, who once compared motherhood to captivity, critiqued the “concept” of motherhood at a time in which in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become increasingly popular.




“I sometimes think that really the problem is the concept of motherhood, which we can’t give any real structure to,” Greer said.
“We now have a ‘genetic’ mother who supplies eggs.
It depends entirely where she is, whether she’s allowed to know what happens to the eggs.



“And women tend to care.
An egg is not a sperm -- we don’t produce 400 million at a go.
One miserable little egg pops every month,” she added.



“Then they give you follicle-stimulating hormone and you [have] 17 or something [eggs], and they give you cut-price IVF, and distribute the rest of your eggs where they see fit.
In some places, you’re allowed to know what happens to them, but in others, you’re not,” Greer said.



“I’m sorry, did we talk about this?
Did we sit down and talk about what eggs mean to women?”



Greer added that members of the fertility industry “were the ones who wanted to be able to terminate pregnancies and manipulate the process of conception at will.”


Greer also voiced her disapproval of singer/songwriter Elton John naming his same-sex “wife” David Furnish as the “mother” on their sons’ birth certificates.

“Sir Elton John and his ‘wife,’ David Furnish, have entered on the birth certificates of their two sons [that] David Furnish is the mother...That’ll give you an idea of how the concept of ‘motherhood’ is emptied out.
It’s gone.
It’s been deconstructed,” the 76-year-old Greer said.



John and Furnish are parents to Zachary, 4, and Elijah, 2. The boys were born to a surrogate mother whom the couple claims to love “like a sister,” and also share the same anonymous egg donor.



Greer wrote international bestseller The Female Eunuch in 1970, becoming a major voice for the second-wave feminist movement of the mid-20th century. The book argues that the traditional nuclear family suppresses women’s sexuality, and that “women have very little idea of how much men hate them.”



In a 1972 article for The Sunday Times entitled “Abortion,” Greer wrote:
“Compulsory motherhood is not ennobling...
The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings.
The song does not justify the cage nor love the enforcement.”



But as some of her views changed over the years, so did her role as feminist icon.



“Over the 21st century, Greer has proved to be increasingly trans-phobic, homophobic, and downright illogical—and therefore, increasingly irrelevant,” wrote The Daily Beast’s Emily Shire.

Interesting point.  I was brought up in the Catholic religion and was taught to "turn the other cheek", but feel that it is only natural and perhaps even instinctive however to defend one's family.

You are a man of faith, and I respect you for it. I play by a different set of rules.

I don't initiate force but I use it without hesitation. If someone wants to martyr himself by attacking me or my family, I'll be happy to oblige him. If someone tries to take my life, liberty, or property, or that of my family, I will defend them ruthlessly. If someone demands that I bow my head to his god, or to him, I will show him the error of his ways.

Cave fvrorem patientis.
