This is what happens when society continues to vote for the lesser of two evils.
In the beginning, the “evil” doesn’t “seem” so bad, (It doesn’t affect me) but over time, it grows into something so large, it tramples everything good in its path that stands in the way of it ruling every life that it has been growing in. Abortion: Made legal in 1973 in the USA, but laws protecting the faithful from government paying for them was enacted. (Band Aid) Society KNEW it was wrong but did it anyway.
This is the war between the Culture of Life and the Culture of Death. Truth verses lies. It’s very obvious to see the destructive path this man, Obama, (Although it could be anyone who subscribes to this way of thinking) and the Culture of Death are leading our nation into, from the same destructive path she has been on for many years. It’s just now, under his control, the evil has become big enough to see without a microscope.
Secularism is the cancerous “tumor” in society and it is always life threatening. The culture of death starts like a single cell of cancer, that without “cutting it out” but rather placing a band-aid over it, enters the lymphatic system of society and metastasize into many areas, until it makes us all physically sick. Leading only to death. We know, over time, the Band-Aid always falls off.
The cure can only be found in the Truth. God help us.
This post is not just about abortion, but ALL the aspects of the Culture of Death. We, the Catholic Church, the faithful who believe, ARE the cure! Alone against society, the cure has been non responsive, collected together, the monster of the culture of death in which we live can and WILL be defeated. Like radiation attacking a tumor, we need to work together. Beginning in each and every home. Radiating out into the society in which we live.
“Let nothing disturb you” does not mean don’t act on anything. It means act on what our Lord is telling you to act on, in the face of every condemnation that may come as He is with you. When a soul reaches out to you, reach back out to them. Don’t feel a need to stay in your comfort zone to protect YOUR faith but reach out to those in need to BRING them the consolation our Lord has given to you, least you become to “rich” to move in any direction, including closer to Him for the benefit of the entire Church and all society at death’s door, giving all the glory to God.

I thank you for your words on this subject, and as a faithful Catholic Christian I agree with everything you say here. I would only add that for me, the Culture of Death you refer to, which we as the Faithful minority must oppose, is not limited to abortion. It must include all forms of murder, too many of which our society in general, and even many of our Catholic sisters and brothers have become complacent to. I include war, the death penalty, the uncaring complacency of a capitalist-run healthcare system. As you say, allowing a single cancer cell to survive is to allow that cancer to spread to the rest of the body. In fact, it could be argued that abortion itself is a result of the Culture of Death that preceded it. The Vietnam War, perhaps? Even further back, more likely. Perhaps as far back as the genocide of the native people of this land.
As Catholic Americans, we are too easily made complacent by allying ourselves with political parties we think somehow represent our moral interests. But the reality of the matter is that no political party has we Catholics understanding of the Gospels at the heart of their platform. After all, the lesser of two evils is still evil. Thanks again, and God bless.

I agree completely, thus ALL aspects of the Culture of Death. We can sit back and say the “Death Penalty” is justified by the actions of those who we judge, but in all honesty and truth, there is only ONE who can judge the soul and we are not Him.

When a life is taken, that life is left without time in this life to “see” his mistakes and turn to our Lord.
