            The Practical Compromise with the Immorality of the Modern World


 ¡°Nisi abundaverit iustitia vestra plus quam scribarum et pharisaeorum¡¦¡± 


¡°Unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven¡± (Mt. 5:20).


My dear brethren,
You may have heard that a synod of bishops will take place in Rome in October that will discuss matters such as divorced and remarried couples, homosexuals, etc.

 
Last February 20th in Rome, Cardinal Kasper has give na very bad talk to the special consistory preparatory to this synod. As a consequence, whole episcopal conferences,(for example: in Germany), have suggested that, since we can¡¯t give the sacrament of marriage to them, let at least a benediction be given to these couples. The result of such attitude is that such people get the impression of a certain approval of their situation. In theory it looks as if nothing is changed, but in practice such behaviour contrary to the Scriptures and constant teaching of the Church are supported and spread.


There are some people today in the Church that promote ¡°going beyond a morality based on Commandments¡±; they want to ¡°reduce the concrete distance between the baptised and the official doctrine¡± – meaning here that the Church should adapt its practice to the practical requests of her members.


Now today¡¯s Gospel really shows that such attitude of practical compromise with the immorality of the modern world is against our Lord Jesus Christ: ¡°Unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven¡± (Mt. 5:20).


 It is hypocritical to call oneself Christian and Catholic, and yet to follow the modern immoralities. Do those who promote such compromise really believe that there will be a Last Judgement, at which time Our Lord will say to those on the left: ¡°I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity¡± (Mt. 7:23). ¡°Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels¡± (Mt. 25:41).


Do they really believe what St Paul wrote: ¡°Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God¡± (1 Cor. 6:9-10).


 And to the Romans (Rom. 1:26-27) he fustigates the vices of the pagans, pointing out homosexuality as to the epitome of pagan vice. In the Old Testament, the Law was very clear on that point (Lev. 18:22, 20:13) and the example of Sodom was there to show God¡¯s wrath upon such vice.


Divorce and remarriage is also very clearly rejected by our Lord Jesus Christ: ¡°What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder¡± (Mt. 19:6). ¡°Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery¡± (Mk. 10:11-12).


So to give Communion to such person is a very grave sacrilege; St Paul said about that: ¡°he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment [=condemnation] to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord¡± (1 Cor. 11:29).


So today there is a battle for good morals in the Church. And there are three positions: some, even bishops and Cardinals such as Cardinal Kasper, favour a practical compromise with the world; by the grace of God, others have come up and spoken clearly against this, reminding that such actions are contrary to the Christian faith. And a third group ¡¦ have remained silent!


But it is comforting to see that not only traditional bishops, but also some other bishops, in particular, Bishop Athanasius Schneider of Kazakhstan, and even the bishop of Singapore, have spoken quite clearly against these immoralities. Bishop Schneider even warned that there is a latent schism between those who promote compromise on morals and those who stand up for the good morals of Christ.


The question comes: is not God merciful? Does not God forgive easily?
Oh yes, God is merciful, and He does forgive. But precisely because God is so good, He wants the true healing of the sinner; He gives His graces that really heals the sinner so that, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the sinner is so transformed th a the no longer sins: this is a true conversion, i.e. a turning around from a life self-centred and directed towards earthly things and pleasures, to a life opened to God and totally directed towards God, detached from earthly affections.


That grace is given through prayer and through the Sacraments, especially frequent confession and Holy Communion well done (in the state of grace, and with great desire of sanctification). Note that the Sacrament of Penance goes with doing penance, making reparation for our sins by mortification, and by carefully avoiding the occasion of sin, especially pornography and immodesty. One would deceive oneself if one thinks one can remain faithful to the Commandments of God while not avoiding such occasions of sin.


Now the past sins have caused in the soul an inclination to fall again: for instance, drinking to excess causes an inclination to drink again. Some pretend that there is nothing wrong with such inclination, and this is false. Indeed, because such inclination is an inclination to sin, it is an evil inclination; it is evil in itself–though it is not yet a sin, so long as one does not consent to it.


Such inclinations are precisely the wound of sin: wounds of our past sins and wound original sin. The healing process of such wounds takes time. Such wounds are constant occasions of humbling ourselves, of constant prayer, begging God not to let us fall into temptation: such humility and constant prayer are good, they are the goods that God draws out of the evil of our past sins.


And God is pleased to grant these prayers and to help us: under His protection they we become victorious over sin. It is very important to say clearly and to believe firmly that with the grace of God it is possible to avoid sin. Not only it is possible, but there is great joy in the victory over sin; the soul becomes stronger and stronger


Sin has three consequences: 1/ darkness of the soul, turned away from God Who is the Light, 2/ a due punishment and 3/ the wound of sin, i.e. that inclination to fall again. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ heals us from all three: indeed by forgiveness itself, and the granting of sanctifying grace, it restores that friendship with God and thus God¡¯s presence in the soul; it also forgives the everlasting punishment and empowers to do the temporal punishment by giving a zeal for penance; and it heals little by little that wound of sin, not all at once but gradually, through the regular practice of a fervent life.


Not only does the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ heal our souls, it also elevates our soul. It elevates it to the supernatural life of friendship with God, membership in Christ, as children of God! No other religion has ever taught man to pray: ¡°Our Father, Who art in Heaven¡¦¡± This elevation of the soul is called: sanctification: ¡°this is the will of God, your sanctification¡± (1 Thes. 4:3).


 Note that St Paul puts this right away with connection with chastity; this is indeed the whole quote: ¡°For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that you should abstain from fornication; That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour: Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: And that no man overreach, nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before, and have testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification. Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us¡± (1 Thes. 4:3-8).


Because He grants such grace that both heals and elevates our soul, our Lord Jesus Christ can require from us a higher justice than that of the world: ¡°Unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven¡± (Mt. 5:20). He requires not only to avoid killing, but even every impatience, wholeheartedly forgiving our enemies; He requires to avoid not only adultery but even every impure look and thought; He requires to avoid not only perjury but even every bad word and swearing. He requires perfection: ¡°Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect¡± (Mt. 5:48).


 But He can require that, because He¡°pours forth the charity of God in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us¡± (Rom. 5:5).
He can require holiness from us, because He purchased us by shedding His Previous Blood for us: He wants our salvation and sanctification more than we want it ourselves: He died on the cross for it! By the holy Sacrifice of the Cross, He purchased all these graces, and is ever ready to apply them to our souls, whenever we ask and we receive devoutly the Sacraments.


 The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, being the very offering of that Sacrifice of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the greatest of all means to receive that grace: it is an inexhaustible fountain of grace and holiness; there, at the foot of the altar, are formed all the good resolution, both for penance for previous sins and for the practice of holiness.


Therefore, my dear brethren, let us fervently ask and beg Him to grant us abundantly these graces of healing and sanctification, not only to us but also to many others. Let us pray for one another, with a holy emulation unto charity and good works (Heb. 10:24).
But above all, let us absolutely flee from that hypocrisy that consists in claiming to be true Christians while disregarding to put in practice the Law of God.


Let us entrust ourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was always perfectly faithful to the grace of God, that we too may be faithful to the graces that Our Lord pours into our souls, and live a life pleasing to God by His grace. Amen.
