Joseph Sold Into Slavery by his Brothers le Damiano Mascagni (1579-1639)
LE an bás loighic, níl muid i bhfad ó nuair a chuirfear ní amháin an fhírinne, ach Críostaithe iad féin, as an réimse poiblí (agus tá tús curtha léi cheana féin). Ar a laghad, seo an rabhadh ó shuíochán Pheadair:
Nuair a dhiúltaítear an dlí nádúrtha agus an fhreagracht atá air, réitíonn sé seo go mór an coibhneasachas eiticiúil ar leibhéal an duine aonair agus chun totalitarianism an Stáit ar an leibhéal polaitiúil. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Lucht Féachana Ginearálta, 16 Meitheamh, 2010, Rómhánach L'Osservatoreo, Eagrán Béarla, 23 Meitheamh, 2010
d. totalitarianism: the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority.
The progression toward totalitarianism is descibed in today’s first reading:
This is the nation that does not listen to the voice of the LORD, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech.
First, a nation turns from the Lord. Second, they ignore the corrections that God sends to call them back. Third, the truth is watered down completely. And last, truth itself is no longer tolerated.
Ós rud é nach n-admhaíonn [na cumhachtaí atá ann] gur féidir le duine critéar oibiachtúil idir mhaith agus olc a chosaint, sáraíonn siad cumhacht iomlánach follasach nó intuigthe dóibh féin agus dá gcinniúint, mar a léiríonn an stair… Ar an mbealach seo an daonlathas, ag teacht salach ar a cuid féin prionsabail, bogann sé go héifeachtach i dtreo cineál totalitarianism. —Pápa Eoin Pól II, Centesimus annus, n. 45, 46; Evangelium Vitae, “Soiscéal na Beatha”, n. 18, 20
That is, the State must control not only what their subjects do, but what they smaoineamh. And that is easiest through the indoctrination of children. Both the Communists and the Nazis understood that, if you can get to the children, you can control the future. Today, once again, the “re-education” of youth is in full swing under the guise of “compassion” and “tolerance.” But this has not escaped the notice of Pope Francis:
Ba mhaith liom mo dhiúltú ar aon chineál turgnamh oideachais le leanaí a chur in iúl. Ní féidir linn triail a bhaint as leanaí agus daoine óga. Uafás ionramháil an oideachais a bhí againn i ndeachtóireacht mhór chinedhíothaithe an fhichiú haois nach bhfuil imithe; choinnigh siad ábharthacht reatha faoi guí agus tograí éagsúla agus, le tuiscint na nua-aoise, cuireann siad brú ar leanaí agus ar dhaoine óga siúl ar an gcosán deachtóireach “gan ach cineál machnaimh amháin”… Seachtain ó shin dúirt múinteoir iontach liom… ’ leis na tionscadail oideachais seo níl a fhios agam an bhfuil na páistí á gcur againn ar scoil nó chuig campa athoideachais '… —POPE FRANCIS, teachtaireacht do bhaill BICE (An Biúró Idirnáisiúnta Leanaí Caitliceach); Raidió na Vatacáine, 11 Aibreán, 2014
Brothers and sisters, like Joseph in last Friday’s first reading, our children are being sold into a new kind of slavery. It is clear that those who resist are on a head-on collision course with the State… [1]“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel and the anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of divine providence. It is a trial which the whole Church… must take up.” - Athchlódh an Cairdinéal Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), 9 Samhain, 1978, eisiúint The Wall Street Journal ó óráid ó 1976 chuig Easpaig Mheiriceá
Can you hear Jesus saying to you and I today…
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. (Today’s Gospel)
Is iad teaghlaigh na mairtíreach an t-aon teaghlach Caitliceach a fhanfaidh beo agus rathúil san aonú haois is fiche. —Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ, An Mhaighdean Bheannaithe agus Sláintíocht an Teaghlaigh
These are difficult things to read, yes, but more difficult to ignore. So if you have not yet, I encourage you to read An Sláine Nua agus Dhiaga Ag Teacht, which is a hopeful message of the dawn that lies beyond this present night.
