Flying the Pentapolis Pollutant of Blasphemy‏

About this sermon

18th Sunday after Pentecost: Another important building block of our survival spirituality for living in the Pentapolis is avoiding occasions of sin and making those that are unavoidable as remote as possible. Unfortunately, as many are fully aware, when living in this valley, we are often confronted with the grave evil of blasphemy. It is like a pollutant of Sodom that covers the area, making it very difficult to avoid. Thus, we must learn how to deal with it as the saints have done before us until we are delivered from this place by heavenly aid. There are at least four things we can do to resist and overcome blasphemy presented in this sermon. Among the four is not looking down at the blasphemers or condemning our fellow man (even when he may deserve it!). Instead let us realize that they too can be rescued from the grip of the devil of which they are in. If anyone has trouble with the statements on the use of TV, please consider reading the little work called, The Storyteller, found here: http://reginaprophetarum.org/mission_materials/The%20Story%20Teller.pdf Although not mentioned in this sermon, it is of great help at this very communistic/marxist/socialistic moment of history to reflect on this important summary of how to make social progress by Saul Alinsky (very important for us so that we do not get caught up in this diabolic "dialectic" ourselves... as some leaders in the world might actually be doing things to make us, as it were, hate them...despise them... so that change and progress will happen). ... Saul Alinsky (d. 1972), author of two very dangerous books, Reveille For Radicals and Rules For Radicals, wherein he explains his devilish dialectics: “The first step in community organization is community disorganization… The organizer, dedicated to changing the life of a particular community must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy… People must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future.... The job of the organizer is to maneuver and bait the establishment so that it will publicly attack him as a dangerous enemy. Such a counterattack then puts the organizer on the side of the people.... A revolutionary organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of the people’s lives—agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values to produce a passion for change” (cf. The Antichrist, Fr. Vincent Miceli, SJ, p. 213). For more please visit http://www.reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest
