Made This Way

 "Fr." James Martin (b. 1960) is a Jesuit in the Vatican II sect. "Ordained" in 1999, he is editor-at-large of the Modernist rag, America magazine. In 2017, Begoglio appointed Martin as a consultant to the  Modernist Vatican's Secretariat for Communications. He is best known for his promotion of sodomites in society and in his sect (as if they don't have enough perverts bankrupting them morally and financially already). In 2017, he wrote a best selling book entitled Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity. Martin delivered a talk in Dublin last year at the Vatican II sect's "World Meeting of Families," which was subsequently published in America magazine under the heading "How Parishes Can Welcome LGBT Catholics." (See https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/08/23/father-james-martin-how-parishes-can-welcome-lgbt-catholics).

Keep in mind that Martin is not talking about those who realize they have disordered passions, want to change, and remain celibate. No, he's talking about those who openly and proudly commit one of the Four Sins That Scream to Heaven for Vengeance. (The other three are murder, defrauding laborers of their rightful wages, and oppression of the poor). He chooses his words carefully at major events sponsored by Bergoglio to make it seem that he is only talking about sexual orientation and not sexually active sodomites. For the record, when you look at all of what he does and says, he means sexually active sodomites should be welcomed. Here are but two examples of  what "Fr." James Martin has said to prove my point:

•  In 2017, when an openly homosexual man said that he and his partner don't kiss during the "Sign of Peace" during the Novus Bogus "mass," Fr. Martin said he hopes that "in ten years you will be able to kiss your partner or, you know, soon to be your husband." (See https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/eight-extreme-things-fr.-james-martin-just-said-about-catholics-and) 
• In 2017, at Fordham University, Martin stated, "I have a hard time imagining how even the most traditionalist, homophobic, closed-minded Catholic cannot look at my friend [in a same-sex "marriage"] and say, ‘That is a loving act, and that is a form of love that I don’t understand but that I have to reverence." (See https://news.fordham.edu/inside-fordham-category/lectures-and-events/building-bridge-catholic-church-lgbt-community/)

In his "welcoming LGBT" talk, Martin poses "six fundamental insights" about sodomites, number two of which will be my focus in this post:

[Sodomites] do not choose their orientation. Sadly, many people still believe that people choose their sexual orientation, despite the testimony of almost every psychiatrist and biologist—and, more important, the lived experience of L.G.B.T. people. You don’t choose your orientation or gender identity any more than you choose to be left-handed. It’s not a choice. And it’s not an addiction. Thus, it is not a sin simply to be L.G.B.T. Far less, it is not something to "blame" on someone, like parents.

Martin is using the current #1 argument to justify the sodomite lifestyle and denigrate those who hold traditional moral values, to wit: Homosexuals are born this way. Eight years ago, the bisexual deviant, Lady Gaga (b. 1986 as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta), had a runaway hit song Born This Way. It quickly became the anthem for homosexuals/bisexuals/transgenders and every other sexual pervert. The song's lyrics articulate a crude genetic justification for various forms of sick and sinful behaviors, encouraging society to adopt the most libertine sexual ethic possible.

No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way (Emphasis mine).

The inherent argument in Gaga's song reflects the intense effort during the last 50 years to establish in the mind of the public that science confirms a biological/genetic causation for abnormal sexual behavior, thereby removing the "stigma" of immorality associated with such acts. Notice that the song equates race and ethnicity (real biological traits) with sex acts and behaviors. Since every decent person (and Christian) rightfully rejects racism and ethnic discrimination, then shouldn't we reject "discrimination" against sodomites? After all, this is "just another genetic trait," we are assured. Martin and Gaga both make the logical conclusion from a theological perspective; since God made the different races through the biological process, and since God (allegedly) made sodomites through the biological process, then your sexuality can't be any more sinful than your skin color. God cannot possibly hold as sinful a trait he intended people to have, like race. The most blasphemous and heinous implication is that the Church has misinterpreted the Bible and Sacred Tradition thereby defecting. She is not (and never was) the One True Indefectible and Infallible Church.

In this post, I will examine the ubiquitous "born this way" arguments, demonstrate their lack of  truth, and present recent evidence that perverts aren't born but made.

There is no "Gay Gene"

1. Correlation is not causation. In the morning if you hear a rooster crow in the countryside, it means the sun will rise. Only the ignorant and superstitious would believe that the crowing of the rooster caused the sun to rise. One action (crowing) came before the other (sun rising) on multiple occasions, but that is mere correlation.  Some genetic and biological factors correlate with a higher incidence of homosexuality among select populations. However, there are no genetic or biological factors that have been shown to cause homosexuality. There is a long and extensive body of research that shows a strong and consistent correlation between smoking and various diseases, such as lung cancer. The correlation is so strong, you could reasonably say smoking cigarettes causes a great risk of developing lung cancer. No factor(s) have been linked anywhere near to the necessary degree needed to make the same claim about causation and homosexuality. (See https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/massive-study-finds-no-single-genetic-cause-of-same-sex-sexual-behavior/). 

There may be factors that cause a predisposition to homosexuality, but that doesn't make it a desirable trait. There is some evidence that there is a predisposition to alcoholism. Does being a lush and driving drunk suddenly become morally acceptable? Theologically, since the Fall, humanity is in an imperfect state and we are at war with our three enemies--the world, the flesh, and the devil. Even normal desires become wrong and must be resisted and altogether avoided, such as adultery and heterosexual promiscuity. That there are bad predispositions is not at all surprising from a theological viewpoint. 

2. The "Gay Gene" is a myth. 

Contrary to what James Martin would like you to think, scientific research has yet to find a so-called "gay gene." There is no region of the human genome that conclusively links homosexuality to any specific gene sequence. Claims by researchers that Xq28 is an "area of interest" in the genetic make-up of homosexual males has never been successfully verified. To date, there is no area of the DNA even remotely associated to lesbianism, and that surely weakens the "gay gene theory" even more. 

Studies of twins indicate a genetic contributing factor correlating to a higher occurrence of homosexuality. However, the earlier twin studies which claimed a much stronger correspondence for homosexuality among twins has now been refuted. Among homosexuals with an identical twin, in only approximately 20% of cases was their twin also homosexual. If homosexuality was a genetically predetermined trait, then the correspondence would be 100% and prove causation.  (See Cheryl L. Weill, Nature's Choice: What Science Reveals about the Biological Origins of Sexual Orientation NY:Routledge [2009], pgs. 65-68). 

3. "Prenatal Hormone Theory" proves nothing. 

There is not one iota of evidence, as of this writing, that when an unborn child is exposed to hormones in the womb atypical for their gender the male brain is "feminized" and the female brain is made "masculine." A careful study of children with Disorders of Sexual Development shows this theory lacks verification. The idea of homosexual brains differing from heterosexual brains finds its genesis in overstated assertions about the differences between male and female brains. (See e.g., Weill cited above). 

Learning Perversion

The section above shows that the "born this way" arguments have no validity. Being a sodomite is not the same as being born with Caucasian or African-American skin pigmentation. However, a look at the statistics coming from Massachusetts by researcher Dr. Paul Cameron, shows that homosexuality is learned behavior. According to Dr. Cameron:

 In 1995, Massachusetts became the first state to ask high school students whether they were LGBT (6% of girls and 7% of boys said they were). In 2004, it legalized gay marriage. By 2015, responding to pro-LGBT policies and teachings, 18% of high school girls and 9% of boys (13% of students) said they were LGBT. A year later, a Gallup poll found that 15.5% of its 18–25 year-olds were ‘sexual minorities’ and Massachusetts had the highest fraction of homosexuals (after Vermont). Of course, genetically-based or ‘in-born’ phenomena take generations to change. What, other than learning, can account for this dramatic uptick in homosexuality in Massachusetts?...

If you accept that children can learn ‘almost anything,’ then it follows that some kids, when presented with a ‘strange deviation’ (like homosexuality), might — for reasons not well understood, but being ‘ripe for new things’ — try or even adopt that thing. LGBTs assume that if kids are told that various historical figures were LGBT, or worse, are told ‘THIS is how LGBTs make love,’ then given enough students, some will ‘come our way.’ The learned component of sexuality is why traditional thought held that society works best when children are taught by their parents, school, and culture ‘the right way’ to live and have sex; not about sexual deviations...(See https://www.familyresearchinst.org/; Emphasis mine--go to link for full report). 

The sodomites themselves know that they can pervert others to their sinful and depraved "lifestyle." In 1987, "gay activist" Michael Swift (also from Massachusetts) had this to say:

We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress,… Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.… The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence —will be abolished.… Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory.… All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men.… We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions.… Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks. (See Gay Community News, Feb. 15–21, 1987; Emphasis mine). 

The Theological Insanity of "Fr" James Martin

Martin (appropriately dubbed "Hellboy" by the excellent Traditionalist website Novusordowatch.org), ends his Dublin talk by giving ten suggestions that people can do to make their Vatican II sect parish "more welcoming" to sodomites. Keeping the list, I've substituted one of the other Four Sins that Scream to Heaven for Vengeance  (murder) where he discuses "LGBT Catholics" (sic). For the sake of brevity, I've only retained a couple of sentences for each suggestion. That should be more than enough to make my point:

Martin and his ilk essentially eviscerate morality. After all, what if there's a "murder gene" that causes one to be "born that way"? We can't hold them morally responsible and place them in jail (sodomy is no longer a crime), nor can we look upon them as sinners. Here's how we can make the parish more welcoming to them:

 1) Examine your own attitudes towards murderers and their families.

Do you believe someone is sinful because she’s a murderer or more inclined to sin than a person who hasn't committed murder?

2) Listen to them.

Listen to the experiences of Catholics who murder and their parents and families. Ask them: “What is it like to have a murderer for a child?” “How has the church helped you or hurt you?” And pay attention to what they say. To that end, be attentive to language that they say they find offensive and needlessly hurtful: "cold-blooded killer" for example. Names, words and terminology matter.

3) Acknowledge them.

Murderers should never be degraded or humiliated from the pulpit—nor should anyone. Just mentioning them can be a step forward. Sometimes in homilies I’ll say, “God loves us all—whether we’re old or young, rich or poor, pro-life or murderers."

4) Apologize to them. 

If murderers or their families have been harmed in the name of the church by murderphobic comments and attitudes and decisions, apologize.

5) Don’t reduce murderers to the call to respect life we all share as Christians.

 Murderers are more than the number of victims they've killed. But sometimes that’s all they hear about. Remember not to focus solely on murder but on the many other joys and sorrows in their lives.

6) Include them in ministries.

 Like everyone else in your parish who does not live up to the Gospels—which is everyone—murderers should be invited into parish ministries: eucharistic ministers, music ministers, lectors, bereavement ministry and every ministry.

7) Acknowledge their individual gifts.
Not only should we acknowledge the gifts that murderers offer in the church as a group but their individual gifts should be valued. Remember how important it is to acknowledge them, to praise them, to raise them up. Don’t hide their light under your bushel basket!

8) Invite everyone on the parish staff to welcome them.
You may have a welcoming pastor, but what about everyone else? Does the person answering the phone know what to say to a murderer who wants to have her child baptized?

9) Sponsor special events or develop an outreach program.
Bishop Christopher Coyne of Burlington, Vt., said: "I see no reason why murderers would not be welcome in church. There is more evidence...that a lot of this is biological; it’s not just something a person just makes as a fashionable choice or cultural choice. This is who they are...everyone is God’s creature, and I would invite anyone to come to the table."

10) Advocate for them.
I’m talking about incidents in countries where murderers are rounded up and thrown in jail or even executed for killing someone. There are many opportunities for parishes to stand with murderers who are being persecuted.

Conclusion

"Fr." James Martin, Lady Gaga, many politicians, and many in the scientific community are hell-bent (literally) on getting everyone to accept the now popular and false idea that sodomites are "born that way." I have stated in past posts that I consider sodomites to be one of the greatest threats to whatever is left of Christian civilization. My conviction only grows stronger with time. The Vatican II sect does not censure Martin, as Bergoglio puts him in a position of influence. There is a reason for this happening. When Bella Dodd warned that the Communists were infiltrating the Catholic seminaries, what most fail to report is that these were not merely Communists, but practicing sodomites. Whereas Communists might be inclined to convert when they hear the truth, the sodomites are completely against God. They go against nature itself; they will not be converted but will rather do the converting.(Even as "Uncle Ted" McCarrick had seminarians sleeping with him to get "promoted" in their "ecclesiastical career").  

Clear evidence points to deviancy as a learned behavior. As it becomes accepted as a biological trait, children will become more inclined to experiment with this "normal biological behavior" and find themselves converted to it. With "story time drag queens" in libraries, books that celebrate sodomites in schools, and movie/TV/music stars all promoting the sodomite lifestyle, is it any wonder the number of homosexuals is growing at an incredible rate? The number of Millennials, especially females, being homosexual or bisexual is shocking. Not long ago, the young lady who used to cut my hair (23 years old and very attractive) started talking to me about her girlfriend. I was taken aback, and asked incredulously, "You're a lesbian?" She told me she had a boyfriend, and he broke her heart, so she "started going with girls." Doesn't sound like she was biologically determined to me. 

There is much at stake in getting people to see sexual deviants as a product of biological necessity. First, it gives them sympathy as "not having a choice." Second, it absolves them (and their actions) of moral culpability. Third, it places a stigma on those who oppose them as "bigots" and as being the ones that have a problem--"homophobia"--a phobia being a mental disorder. Fourth, it undermines the belief in the Church, because Her teaching on homosexuality would be wrong. It would take away potential converts to Traditionalist Catholicism, and would make members of the Vatican II sect resigned to abandoning de jure all moral truths most of them have already jettisoned de facto. 

Perhaps, worst of all, "born this way" advocates will take away all impetus to do good. After all, if our behaviors are genetically determined, not only are bad acts acceptable, but a life of virtue, such as that lived by St. Francis of Assisi, can be equally dismissed because he was "born that way." Virtue, like sin, is a matter of choice. Sodomites seek acceptance so as to better destroy what's left of the family and the members of the One True Church. 

God has this to say of sodomites and their supporters:

Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them. (Romans 1:24-32; Emphasis mine).
