Just seen your post, which you must have been writing simultaneously with mine. Yes! To give an example: on this morning's "Today" programme on Radio 4 one of the news items was that "the Pope has spoken out against trans-sexuals and gender changes" - true, but it was only within a multi-faceted speech. Yet that was picked out. Now, even a friend of mine from church, said that she believes some people ought to have been born in the opposite sex. Whoooooppps! No. Either you are male or female, surely. I know that there is something called "hermaphroditism", but don't tell me, I don't want to know......
The trouble with the people in the media, too, is that they give the impression that these are the Pope's "views" [which they are], but they are the teaching of the Church. He's re-iterating what Christ said 2000 years ago and what His Church has always taught. "Male and female created He them". Plus: one man, one woman united in marriage for life!
It's so obvious to us, but we are bombarded by secular media. One reason why I mostly watch EWTN. Listen to Father John Corapi on the subject!!!! Oh boy!!!!!!
And another thing.......I expect all of you have come across people who say that Paul VI's "Humanae Vitae" wasn't an "infallible dogma", so it's all right to practise artificial birth control. No! It wasn't a new dogma, but it was and is Church teaching. He didn't write it for fun. |
