SHORTLY after I posted my previous entry, I learned that the nine exalted nincompoops have indeed ruled, 5-4, to approve same-sex “marriage.” Are you surprised? Of course not.

The Supreme Court justices might as well have ruled that the earth is now flat and that everyone will be required to act as if it is flat. No judge anywhere has the authority to change marriage, which was made by God. No judge anywhere has the authority to legalize divorce, the killing of the unborn, “assisted suicide,” or pornography. Authority comes from above, not below.

Anger should not be directed to the confused individuals who are drawn into this way of life. They too live in a time of moral chaos, a time of spiritual barrenness when the Divine Life of Grace has been drained from the world. Anger should be entirely reserved for our cultural revolutionaries at the top, most of whom will never “marry” someone of the same sex. Homosexual “marriage” is political exploitation and a brilliant means of social control, fostering endless cultural division — division that has only just begun — and psychological bondage. It is libido dominandi at its finest. Better yet, don’t feel anger at all. Pray for your children and for your country, from which you will now be forced to detach yourself. Have confidence in God as we head toward more, previously unimaginable chaos. Everything, our entire system of family law, will be redefined. The past is now for all intents and purposes illegal. But marriage has not changed at all. No interpretation of our Constitution, no judge, no individual can change it.

Think about it a minute; the Supreme Court has just decided, in effect, that the rate at which homosexuals form permanent (or even semi-permanent) and exclusive relationships, and the rate at which those relationships are dissolved, and some of the reasons for those dissolutions, will now be a matter of public record.

In other words, the answers to all of those questions that many researchers have been afraid to ask (because it “earns” a shunning in liberal academia) are now going to be a matter of public record, and if indeed “pride” parades and the “Fulsome” Street Fair are any indication, some of those answers are going to shed light on things that the lobby really doesn’t want exposed.

Laura writes:

I don’t think those facts will bother the lobby. Those unpleasant facts can be attributed to the stress caused by a lack of acceptance of homosexual “marriage.” Even though the Supreme Court has ruled, there will still not be widespread public approval. Even people who want to be accepting will make slip-ups and seem to disapprove just because it’s all so unnatural and weird. Therefore activists will have further reason to be angry and consider themselves victims. As it is, suicide, drug use, violence among homosexuals are often attributed to lack of acceptance. The revolution has just begun. As long as there is a single person on earth who is not enthusiastic, it will be ramped up. And history must be erased. The past will be a constant reminder that homosexuality is sinful.

Game, set, and match. It’s over. What’re we fighting for? What are we trying to “conserve?”

In ten minutes or less, the GOP and Conservatism, Inc. will be preaching how they were always for homosexual “marriage” and how such filth is the cornerstone of “conservatism” while simultaneously defending Obamacare’s individual mandate.

This is no longer the country of my Guruji. This is the final nail in the coffin.

Why bother, Mrs. Wood, why bother?

Laura writes:

I don’t share your despair. While we shouldn’t exhaust ourselves in saving what cannot be saved, we can live the truth and prepare for the inevitable fall of this regime, just as the Russians did under Communism. What are we trying to conserve? The things that will never die. We are preserving reality. Homosexual “marriage” is at war with reality. We don’t have to accept it.

Lawrence Auster himself wrote seven years ago that America was formally dead, but in that unflinching realization there is reason for hope. This is from his unpublished work, America Erased, which was completed in 1998:

The realization that America is already finished can deliver us into despair, which is why most of us close our eyes to the truth.  However, this same realization can result in a liberating clarity.  You’re seeing what is.  That doesn’t lessen the horror of what is happening‑-the loss of our civilization and peoplehood‑-but it changes the way you feel about it.  There is the beginning of detachment from the nation you have been so anxiously concerned about when you finally understand that it does not contain within itself the necessary elements for its own survival.

Something of the inward nature of the civilizational catastrophe we are facing may be grasped from a close reading of the Gospel prophecies of the final days, as found in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.  In literal terms, of course, Jesus is describing the end of the world.  In psychological terms, he is describing the climax of the disorder which is always present in the human soul, but which at times rises up and engulfs “the world”‑-i.e. the existing social and moral order‑-completely.  This is manifested in wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution of truth‑speakers, betrayal, and hatred:  “And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death.”  It is a portrait of ultimate moral chaos and evil.

Then comes this devastating image of the death of a society:  “And because wickedness is multiplied, most men’s love will wax cold.”  When the belief in goodness is lost, when a people become indifferent to all standards of decency, when they see flagrant outrages against law and morality being committed by their leaders and say with a shrug that they don’t care, then the people who do care begin to withdraw from their fellow men‑-and with reason.  When a nation won’t bother defending itself from those who would destroy it, while it punishes those who try to save it, even patriots begin to abjure the realm.

Then, the Gospels tell us, the “desolating sacrilege” will appear in the holy place, the sign that the end has come.  Although the phrase is mysterious, it should not be hard for us to understand the kind of thing it refers to.  As we have seen, we are literally surrounded by desolating sacrileges, by profanations of both a religious and secular nature, which are endorsed, not by rebels and outcasts, but by the mainstream society itself‑-from the trashing of our national history, to naturalization ceremonies being conducted in foreign languages, to U.S. postage stamps commemorating the national holidays of foreign countries, to a “mainstream” mass entertainment complex whose main function is to destroy all inhibition and modesty, to the official endorsement of homosexuality, to the wide public support for a shameless, power‑abusing president.  Taken as a whole, these and many other cultural perversions indicate a moral derangement so profound that the society, at least in its historic form, cannot be expected to recover from it.  Once a society has denied the existence of right and wrong, once it has abandoned its own history and denied its own legitimacy, once it has permitted mass populations of aliens to enter within its borders, it has opened a Pandora’s box of evils that can never be returned whence they came, it has engendered a disorder that can never be resolved within the existing form of that society.

But it can be reborn in another form. We are still here. God is eternal. The Blessed Mother awaits our prayers and our undying confidence that we can build a stronger nation on these ashes. All nations owe allegiance to Christ. We are learning how quickly even the most prosperous and seemingly advanced societies can devolve into a new form of barbarism when that truth is denied. He is the Summit of humanity and the Author of the moral law. He is the King of all, whether politicians realize it or not.

In the meantime, we do not have to give in to “gay marriage.” We do not have to accept it.

I probably don’t need to remind you and your readers but it’s been a long road getting here. Authority does indeed come from God. I was looking at my great-grandparents’ divorce papers recently. They indicate that the “bonds of matrimony are hereby forever dissolved” by the State of Florida. This was in the early 1930s. The state, of course, can’t make dissolution of the bonds of matrimony an objective reality. Same with gay “marriage.”

Mrs. T. writes:

An excellent piece, thank you.

WF writes:

The Supreme Court could have deferred to the electorate the subject of “Gay” marriage but they have taken the law into their hands and decreed their own law of the land. In a sense they have become not an arbitrator of the law but an American Politburo.

Laura writes:

And what if the electorate had voted to approve same-sex “marriage?” That could very well have happened. That has just happened in Ireland.

Would that make it any more just? Or right? Would that make it any less tyrannical?

The people have no more authority to overturn marriage than the Supreme Court. The people can be despotic too.

Besides, the people have been hypnotized. It’s as if their opinions on this are churned out on an enormous conveyor belt. It’s not as if most truly understand what is at stake. Most don’t even know the basic facts about homosexuality, about the millions of men, to cite one fact, who have died prematurely from horrible diseases because of it. They are totally in the dark and deliberately kept there.

Laura adds:

There are many ominous implications to this in terms of free speech, family law and business. They are too vast to contemplate at this time. But one of them concerns homeschooling.

While all children will soon be indoctrinated in the good of homosexual “marriage” in public schools, homeschoolers mostly will not. This will not be tolerated passively.

Prepare to see in the not-too-distant future more demonization of homeschoolers in the media, which will present them more often as psychologically unbalanced right-wingers.

WF writes:

I would much prefer to have power dispersed among the people than concentrated in minds of nine justices who may or may not have my best interest at heart. I would propose it is easier to change to minds of millions of people than that of nine dogmatic despots.

Josh F. writes:

Take the foreboding even farther and reframe what has actually transpired. Homosexual “marriage” was not legalized, marriage was made “unconstitutional.” Essentially, no state within the Disunited States of Murka can declare the marriage of a man and woman as the only true marriage. So now the rolling radical liberationist meme goes like this…

“Unconstitutional” marriage –> legally recognized homosexual “marriage” –> mass exaltation of homosexuality –> self-annihilation.

The Lord’s wrath will be great.

Terry Morris writes:

W.F. wrote: The Supreme Court could have deferred to the electorate the subject of Gay “Marriage.”

Laura wrote in response: “And what if the electorate had voted to approve same-sex “marriage?”

Apparently the Politburo of Nine wasn’t about to take the chance that the electorate would vote to disapprove it, so I guess we’ll never know for sure what would have happened in that case. The Supremes
simply avoided the (likely) mess of having to revisit the issue later on down the road and of overturning a popular referendum, which they too would have called tyranny – the tyranny of the majority. But this
is all academic and a moot point in any case; it has long been the purpose of the SCOTUS to overthrow Constitutional law and to concentrate power in the federal government. That was the whole point
of the Incorporation Doctrine when it was invented out of thin air.

As has been said before, the appearance of the law must be upheld, especially when it’s being violated!

Laura writes that this has ominous implications for disagreeable homeschoolers (among others) in the not-too-distant future. Absolutely right! When they come to bust up our family, and if I have opportunity, I’ll be sure to let you know.
