Saint Peter Damian, a Doctor of the Church, lived a thousand years ago, and the Lavender Mafia was very much a reality then. When it comes to sin and evil, there is very little new under the sun.

True but (at least) four things make It worse today:
1. Acceptance: of contraceptive sex devoid of procreative power..
2. of same sex “couplings”.
3. A NO Liturgy that lends itself to “a priest performance” -attractive to homosexuals..
4. a general emasculation/feminization of society.
Like weeds in a garden, the moment you stop opposition they advance.
That is the primary difference.
(Note to any pearl-clutchers. A weed is a plant growing where it is not supposed to be growing.)
I ran across a YouTube video recently featuring a Catholic convert struggling with his discovery of how bad the Catholic experience can be. I hope I didn’t yell at him, but look, this is not new. It’s wrong but it’s not new. Paul warned Timothy about giving the recent convert too much of a voice.
Sodomy has been around since before Sodom and Gomorrah. Souls with bodies stuck in the anal stage at two years old. They refuse to grow up.
How can they enjoy heaven when they choose to play in their feces and to be giving another hemorrhoidal sphincters?
