Is Catholicism now 'unacceptable'?
Patrick J. Buchanan
On the political roundtable "21 This Week," on Maryland's tiny Access
Montgomery cable channel 21, Robert J. Smith has been a regular
panelist. Introduced as a "Republican activist," Smith was also Gov.
Robert Ehrlich's appointee on the Metro Transit Authority board.
No more. Smith has been fired for remarks that the GOP governor
considers "inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable." What did Smith
say? Did he cut loose into some racist rant using the "n" word?
Nope. One of the panelists on "21 This Week" had volunteered that Mary
Cheney, the vice president's daughter who has come out of the closet,
would not want the federal government interfering in her life. Smith
interrupted: "That's fine, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that the
government should proffer a special place of entitlement within the
laws of the United States for persons of sexual deviancy."
Parsing that statement, what was Smith saying? That the feds should not
intrude into private lives, but neither should the feds grant special
privileges to homosexuals. Smith was also saying that, in his view,
homosexuals are "persons of sexual deviancy." In short, Smith was
saying what most Americans have always thought.
But at the next meeting of the Metro board, he was confronted by D.C.
member James Graham, a homosexual activist, who demanded that Smith
recant and apologize, or be fired by the governor.
Smith held his ground. "Homosexual behavior, in my view, is deviant,"
Smith said. "I'm a Roman Catholic."
He added, "The comments I make outside of my (Metro board job) I'm
entitled to make." Moreover, said Smith, these were personal beliefs
that have "nothing to do with running trains and buses, and have not
affected my actions or decisions on the board."
Five hours later, Gov. Ehrlich, in a tight re-election race, fired
Smith. The episode is instructive for what it says about the
correlation of forces in America's religious war.
To save himself, Ehrlich threw Smith to the wolves. He declined to
defend traditional Christian teaching on homosexuality - i.e., that
it is unnatural and immoral, ruinous to body and soul alike. Ehrlich
sacrificed one of his own to appease the homosexuals and their media
auxiliary, rather than defy their moral authority.
Smith was fired by a Republican governor for standing by a truth rooted
in 2,000 years of Catholic doctrine, Natural Law, the Torah, the
Islamic faith, the teachings of every Christian denomination and the
laws of every Western nation up to the late 20th century. One has yet
to hear a word in defense of this faithful son from the Catholic
hierarchy of the Washington area.
As for homosexuality, where it has been prevalent - in the late Roman
Empire, Weimar Germany, San Francisco - it has been regarded as a
mark of and a metaphor for moral decadence and societal decline.
But the bottom line is this: What is the truth? Is homosexuality moral
or immoral, natural or unnatural, normal and healthy or deviant and
destructive behavior?
In 1983, when the AIDS epidemic first broke onto the national scene,
this writer wrote in a column predicting scores of thousands could
perish: "The poor homosexuals. They have declared war against nature,
and nature is exacting an awful retribution."
This sentence restated the Natural Law teaching of Thomas Aquinas.
Homosexuality is against nature, contra naturam. It also said what was,
by then, obvious to all. Acts that cannot be described in this
publication were transmitting a dread and deadly disease that was
killing homosexuals in the hundreds, and would soon kill them in the
scores of thousands.
Indeed, a subsequent clamor by homosexuals for a mass government
education program on the use of condoms suggested they knew exactly how
and why the disease was spreading.
But in a May 28 column, Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times accused
this writer, Ronald Reagan and the Rev. Jerry Falwell of "behaving more
immorally" in the 1980s than the clientele of "the San Francisco
bathhouses." It was our "indifference to the suffering of gays," said
Kristof, that "allowed the epidemic to spread."
Not a word of reproof - or even of recognition - may be found in
Kristof's column against those who actually spread the disease that has
now killed millions. Nick knows his readers.
What does all of this tell us? Our society is being marinated in lies
- the lie that homosexuality is a natural, normal and healthy
lifestyle; the lie that those who think otherwise are all hateful
bigots; the lie that the diseases that afflict the homosexual community
are the fault of an uncaring society.
Humankind cannot stand too much truth, said T.S. Eliot.
In the matter of Robert Smith, there was indeed intolerance: a savage
intolerance of one man with the courage to declare Christian truths in
the face of the fabricated and fake faith that has become the
established religion of America's secular elite.

4. Ms. Cheney herself has been very active in Republican politics.
5. Mr. Smith confused his personal opinions with political reality and got

Navigators full of gentlemen in dark glasses over to talk to Smith about
dissing his daughter. I hear ***** is very protective about her.

Well that depends on which Cheney you are referring to in your response.
You ignored the first two points I made. First, if you are a political
appointee, you belong to the guy who appointed you to the position. You
have to toe the line or face the consequences of failing to do so. This is
not a Republican or Democrat thing, it is simple politics. You do not, as a
lower level appointee, shoot your mouth off about matters which could have
an impact on the bosses' bottom line. So Mr. Smith goes on air and shits
all over a Republican functionary and one who is the daughter of the Vice
President to boot. So Mr. Smith violated the First Commandment and did so
by attacking the daughter of the Vice President. He spoke without
permission of his boss. He got canned when some people started to make a
stink about it. Happens all the time.

It's a ridiculous adage. The sinner commits the sin. Would you say that
about a bank robber? OK, we'll put the robbery in jail, and you go home.

Bedroom? What about the bars where they pull down their jeans and handcuff
themselves to barstools?

I just think that some gays are way too nutty about flaunting it, most

So then they are the source of the trouble. Why do they have to announce
their deviancy?
Why don't they act as if their sex lives were no one's business (like all
other normal people) and shut up about it?


It's their private business not mine.

Private? You've got to be kidding. I wish it were.

Robbery is a crime and is therefore punished in a secular court.
Most, if not all, religions consider it a sin as well. It is up to
them to determine whether or not to hold the sinner responsible for
the sin. It is in the tradition of the Christians to hate the sin but
forgive the sinner. They still go to jail though
Being gay is not a crime.Try to come up with a better analogy. Or
don't.

I don't care who does what in his or her own bedroom...I think most

Don't go into those bars...problem solved.

I see. If a low-level employee is confronted by a "homosexual
activist" making a bit of noise, then at this point irrevocable forces
have been set in motion, and the Governor of the soverign state of
Maryland now has no choice but to fire his employee, no matter how
badly the governor personally may wish not to.
I had absolutely NO idea that gays wield such power.
And, I suspect, neither do they.

Some speech is unacceptable for a government figure. If I stated that Catholics

excommunication, I would be labelled a bigot as well..

No that is not true. He said according to the article:
"That's fine, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that the
government should proffer a special place of entitlement within the
laws of the United States for persons of sexual deviancy."
Now I would say that this goes beyond merely stating that he believes that
homosexuals are deviates. But lets not take my word for it. Pat Buchanan
says the following:
"Parsing that statement, what was Smith saying? That the feds should not
intrude into private lives, but neither should the feds grant special
privileges to homosexuals. Smith was also saying that, in his view,
homosexuals are "persons of sexual deviancy."
Now the real issue here is that the government should not grant "special
privileges" which is a fundamentalist buzz word, to homosexuals. According
to most of the fundamentalist propaganda I have read, this includes any
comments or actions short of outright condemnation of homosexuality. But
the issue of what that term means to Mr. Smith is not at issue. What is of
issue so exactly what has been mentioned in other posts. Mr. Smith spoke
out of school on a matter which was beyond his purview in the administration
of which he was a member. He got fired for it. NO big surprise.

Homosexuality is being attracted to the same sex.
It is a normal variant.

The question is one of 'naturalness'...not normalcy. It is hardly normal.
It most certainly deviates from the norm.
And many of us believe embracing it as 'normal' harms society immeasurably.
It makes it sick...much like the original post suggested. Decadence has two
most notable observations when a society becomes so sick it's fiber is
challenged...Homosexuality is most definitely one. The other is
pornography.
Our society is so sick another 'deviant' behavior is even
rising...pedophilia. Are you, the liberal, so open minded as to even
'accept' this behavior just because there are some whose chemistry is simply
arranged that it be so? And don't kid yourself about victimless
behaviors...for as the society goes, we are all affected.
No...homosexuality, whether it is natural or not, has no functional value to
the species, and harms us overall. Sorry to gays. Live and let live I
say...but when they push an agenda to force the entire mainstream to their
way politically...well, we need to sober up and smell some coffee.
Even a gay should see the sense of this. Hell, nature deals us all some bad
cards in life. I should think gays should feel fortunate they live in times
they do as past eras they would not have been treated nearly so humanely.
But for them, as a group, to push and push and push for more and more...to
even threaten the very sanctity of marriage and the human family unit, that
most holy sacrosanct foundry of human envaluement...well, I suppose I should
think most of you here should pray you are right and there is no God.
By the time He shows up, I doubt he will have his better face on. But
then...a child's fantasyland vision...of course. We all know there is no
God. No...really. At least no old guy sitting on top of clouds to throw
down lightning bolts. But the oceans have tides nonetheless and even the
crust of the very continents upon which we exist, move like liquid water.
The orignal post mentioned the decadence of Weimar Germany before WWII...a
rising energy rubbing upon the vindication of a moral humanity by the more
primal beastly nature left over from the jungles...creating an exasperating
void whereupon, a leap across decadent hopelessness was warranted. A
faultline was created...and beneath it's violent arrest, A new hope
arose...in the form of Adolf Hitler.
That should tell you something about the possibility of God's faces.
The faultline of today is even greater than then; I am most assured of
that...for America herself has been, now...raped.

You should learn about your religion before opening your big mouth.
The Roman Catholic Church performed same-sex marriages for centuries.
Even 2 of the churches saints were married to each other.
The church, and god, had no problems with same-sex marriage all those
centuries ago, why should there be a problem now?

Thank you for making my case here. But, such pedophiles [sp...who
cares]...are probably functional to some sort of genetic malformation or
chemical makeup right...just as homosexuals are linked to a material reality
of their brains and bodies. But, to justify one group, while continuing to
see the other as 'vile and sick'...well, not rationally consistent, now is
it?
Of course I agree...and you have 'made a stand' in life...professed there
are things you cannot believe in, no matter their scientific or rational
justification. Good for you. I make the same stand 'against'
homosexuality, not to condemn the person, but the act.
There remains our instincts, a linkup of emotionality and intellect,
whereupon our better guide to life might be found...and some of us find
'homosexuality' also 'sick'...though I would not attach 'vile' to it [seems
I'm even more tolerant to you, as I judge no human as 'vile' except the
truely malformed and wicked (can't see any baby being that) ha]. I condemn
no one...but only work to protect the things that are important to us.
A homosexual is always welcome in my house even if his homosexuality is
not...for a human being is a human being no matter. But I plead to his
sanity and reason, that to force law to reorder the whole to sanctify his
malady that he/she live more comfortably, well, that is not really in
anyone's interest.
The grace the homosexual is given in todays world is rooted to that
humaneness evolved through much time and exposure of developing human
relations, and as I mention before, the greatest foundry of creation of
which, coming by way of the traditional family unit.
Destroying that, or making it weaker, or diffusing it's influence in any way
is 'insanity'...probably self destructivness pleading it's case to the court

But you would be. That's different.

This guy merely said that homosexuality is deviant behavior. He =
probably
also would have said that orgies are deviant behavior, and that =
sleeping
with your neighbor's wife is deviant behavior, and alluring a young
person
to sex and drugs is deviant behavior. You guys will do anything to
confuse
the issue.

BAM




Homosexuality is being attracted to the same sex.
It is a normal variant.


The question is one of 'naturalness'...not normalcy.

In that case:

It is hardly normal.
It most certainly deviates from the norm.

So? Albinism does too. Just because something is unusual or uncommon =
doesn't make it bad.

And many of us believe embracing it as 'normal' harms society =
immeasurably.

We call those people "morons."

Is Catholicism now 'unacceptable'?


Patrick J. Buchanan



Buchanan is a notorious 'Culture Warrior' and here he is a gay basher
defending a bigot.


Some speech is unacceptable for a government figure. If I stated that
Catholics
should not hold office since the Bishops and the Pope have now PUBLICALLY
demanded that they vote in line with the Church's instructions of face
excommunication, I would be labelled a bigot as well..


Fortunately not all Catholics including some clergy don't always listen
to the Pope.
