The Destruction of Man vs. The Truth

By: Antonio J. Galindo Aleman

More and more our society looks similar to the time of the Judges where everyone did what was right in their own eyes and not according to the eyes of God. Our society is suffering great confusion, and this is even affecting the Catholic Church where there seems to be a split between those defending the true teaching and those trying to change it, fighting to paganize the Church in order to adapt her to what the world believes.

We must ask ourselves: Do we want to continue with this destruction of man? There is an immense need to rediscover what man is and what is he living for. If our society continues going on playing being god the consequences are going to be devastating. We need to center our society in God so that we may really discover what we are. We need to rediscover the life of Christ who has come to “fully reveal man to himself” (Redemptor Hominis).

To embrace and live in the truth once again, we must first grasp exactly how and why our society has moved away from God’s will and accepted the destruction of man.

Attacking Natural Order

The understanding of the human person and sexuality are the main topics that are under attack. There is a constant rebelliousness from men towards creation that throughout history has been crying out that, God has made a mistake, that creation is not good enough, and thus the main mission of man is to fix and recreate the mistakes that God has done.

This can be seen concretely without going too far in our present society, which is under the influence of postmodern philosophy, where there is a constant rebelliousness against the natural order created by God. God has created everything out of love for us, but the world presents creation and natural order as a limit to our freedom.

Freedom?

Morality is just considered a social and religious construct to control people; it is a limit that does not allow us to grow and be truly free. As a result, we are called to fight against any authority that tries to tell us what we should or should not do.

We must reject any system that proposes certain truths, morals, or any intent that dictates our way of life or understanding of the world. We must reject the reality of the transcendental and all the values that humanity has known until the present moment.

The Church is the main archenemy of our freedom and fulfillment and thus we must get rid of it. In other words, we must reject the belief in a good and loving God that has created us to be happy. We must do everything possible to put him aside of our lives and put man as the real god that comes to fix and recreate the world.

According to Nietzsche, “all religions are, at their most fundamental, systems of cruelty man” because they have deformed man by imposing into them moral ideas that do not allow him to be free. That is why we must reject Christianism together with all its moral system so that we may really fulfill ourselves.

The Superman

Absolute autonomy brings about the Übermensch (superman) of Nietzsche that is completely autonomous from any moral system, concretely Christian morals, being free to build himself according to his own understanding of reality.

Some consequences of the Übermensch (superman) are: Human beings are not anymore a union of body and soul created at the image and likeness of God called to enjoy eternally the vision of God. Human beings are reduced to pure matter. The interior reality of man is destroyed together with their identity and their only purpose of life is to enjoy as much as possible this life because it is all we have.

Sex

Consequently, sex is not anymore a gift from God that is meant to perfectly unite the husband and wife to the point of becoming one flesh by giving themselves to each other in an intimate union, which manifests itself through their openness to life (children). No, sex is the source of happiness through which the ultimate and only end is the enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sex does not have limits and you decide with who or what you can have sex with.

It does not matter if it is with a man or a woman, or even an animal, the important thing is that you are happy and fulfill all your sexual desires because, as Freud pointed out, the root of all your unhappiness and frustrations is the fact that you do not have enough sex. The other becomes a sexual object for pleasure.

Family

To have babies is a mistake and cruelty for bringing new lives to this miserable life. Fertility must be control because is causing overpopulation and we must control the number of babies that are born through contraceptives and abortion. Marriage between man and woman is not anymore part of human nature ordered for the common good, which is called to make manifest the love and union of the Holy Trinity.

No, marriage between a man and a woman is a social and religious construct because ‘love’ does not have limits and thus no one can tell you who you can love or not. Who tells you that you cannot have sex with a person of your same sex? Who tells you that you cannot marry a person of your same sex? Furthermore, who tells you that there are only two genders? Who tells you that you are a man or a woman?

You and your understanding of reality are the ones that decide to what gender you belong. Your physical body does not determine your gender; you are the one that decides your gender apart from your physical reality and no one cannot tell you the contrary.

This culture is what Saint John Paul II the Great called the culture of death. The culture that tries to destroy life and its meaning. It is ironic that all this chain of thought is called modern and post-modern philosophy because it is not modern at all. All these chains of thought and proposals are all based on the same lie; the lie that the Devil introduced into humanity through the fall of Adam and Eve.

The Lie

This lie tells us that God is not good, that God does not want us to be happy because he does not allow us to do whatever we want because “he knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, who know good and evil.” (Gn 3:5) This lie is a constant invitation to humanity to rebel against God and takes his place deciding what is good or evil autonomously from God, and now is evident more than ever before.

This attack of the Devil is more palpable than ever in our times where we can clearly appreciate the hatred that he has toward God and his creation. According to the vision of Pope Leo XIII, he saw the Devil asking for permission from God to make his last and most powerful attack on humanity in order to destroy the Church.

This last attack is against the foundation of society: the family and the dignity of the human person. He wants to destroy everything that carries the image of God. We have seen in the last two centuries, the uprising of ideologies and utopias that are directed towards this goal. The consequences of all these ideologies were wars that reduced the dignity of the person to the ground making them lose the meaning and hope of their lives.

After these wars, people have lost their identity, began asking themselves fundamental existential questions about themselves and the meaning of life. The attempt to look for an answer outside of God led them to “exchange the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, revered, and worshiped the creature rather than the creator.

This word has been fulfilled through the sexual revolution through which the human body is degraded, despised, and reduced to a mere instrument of pleasure, and we humans are called to be led by our base passions like animals. Abortion, sodomy, divorce, abuses of kids, materialism, suicides, Gender Theory, and all kinds of immorality are the result of worshipping the creature rather than the creator.

On the other hand, the LGBT community in the name of freedom destroys freedom; in the name of love and equality, commit abominations; and in the name of humanity, they destroy humanity. Taking advantage that we are by nature social beings they convince people with same-sex attractions that the LGBT community is the only place where they can truly be themselves and where they are really accepted as they are.

The Catholic Church is the archenemy that hates them and judges them by imposing into them morals that do not allow them to be themselves. What the LGBT community does not tell them is that they abuse their freedom and vulnerability to promote their own agenda, which is the destruction of the natural family.

Behind the plan of destroying the natural family, there is a very sophisticated plan which is to bring about a new society where the real human being is going to appear. In order to build a new social order first, they have to get rid of the present one, that is why their main attack is toward the natural family which is the foundation of society.

Freedom from Morality

This Utopian society promises paradise on earth by allowing human beings to be completely free from any moral system so that they may truly fulfill themselves. In the Bible, the rainbow represents a new covenant that God made with humanity after the flood that was meant to wash away humanity’s corruption. The rainbow is an image of a new creation free from sin.

Thus, the rainbow represents the image of bringing about a new creation. God promised to never again destroy the world by the flood and the rainbow is a sign of this promise. God is faithful to his promise, but it is ironic to see that now it is not God the one that destroys humanity, but a human being destroying human beings. In reality, the flag with the rainbow, which promises a new and better creation, becomes a sign of the destruction of man.

The Smoke of Satan

Another problem is that the Church has been influenced by these ideologies, and many of its members are trying to impose them into the doctrine of the Church as true doctrine. Pope Paul VI already admonished us of this fact when he said that ‘the smoke of Satan has entered the Church.’

These members of the Church have become false teachers “who introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.” (2 Pt 2:1) They want to normalized licentious ways such as abortion, same-sex marriages, euthanasia, and many other atrocities making themselves ambassadors of Satan collaborating with him to destroy the image of God in the human person.

With the excuse of love, respect, compassion, and sensitivity they try to ‘welcome’ them into the Church, but not to help them to discover the truth and the love of God, but promising them to change the doctrine of the Church so that they may be included into the family of God without having to change their way of life. These false teachers believe that people with same-sex attractions seem to be out of the redemptive passion and resurrection of Christ and thus they try to create a new religion where they are included. This fact of defining them according to their sexual orientation is disrespectful because they exclude them from the salvific plan of God.

The Truth- Jesus Came to Redeem ALL

Jesus Christ has come to redeem all humanity without any exclusion. Thus, they are redeemed as human beings, not as LGBT communities. Thus, the intent of creating LGBT communities within the Church as a new charism goes against the redemptive plan of God. Imagine if the Church had to create a group for each of our personal sufferings. We would have to make millions of groups in order to make everyone feel welcome.

That is why the Church is called Catholic, which means universal because it embraces all humanity with all their sufferings. People with same-sex attractions are already within the redemptive plan of God, and therefore they are also called to be part of his Church. There is no need to create special teaching for people suffering from same-sex attractions, the teaching is already there and is the same teaching that applies to every Christian.

A Call to Holiness

This teaching is the life of Jesus which is a constant call to holiness, to imitate him, to become children of God. We are all called to this vocation and we are all in the same boat. We all have a fallen nature that we need to sanctify through the graces that God gives us.

We all have the struggle of the flesh against the spirit and vice versa in many different ways but we are all called to rely on God’s grace, so that little by little we may conquer our passions and bring to communion our reason with our physical passions, so that our reason may rule over them and not the other way around.

We all are called to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. This is what truly makes us suffer, that we are not perfect as our heavenly father is, and we will find our happiness in being like him and not being as we ‘want’ to be.
