The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter: The Sin Of David Redux
The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter
Blog to discuss the book "The Apocalypse - Letter by Letter: A Literary Analysis of the Book of Revelation" and current events that point to the events described therein.
David saw a woman so beautiful he had to have her for his own. So he ordered that her husband, one of his generals, to be left exposed in battle and he was killed. The result is that David was cursed by God.cf 2 Kings 11
Fast forward a few thousand years and change venue from Israel to Connecticut. The Connecticut Catholic Conference has reversed course and issued a statement that they will allow Catholic hospitals to dispense the "abortion pill" Plan B in Catholic hospitals.
What is the parallel between the two stories? In both cases, the generals have been left exposed in battle by their leaders. In the latter case, the generals are the fine people like Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International and Judie Brown of American Life League. They have given their all to fight against the culture of death and for the Catholic Church and its teachings.
And now, the CCC has pulled back and left them exposed to the enemy. And who is the "woman" that the CCC had to have? Money and power. Plain and simple, by conforming to the immoral secular law in Connecticut, the Bishops have placed their enterprise over the teachings of the Church of Christ. They could have threatened to shut the system down or sell it off, and even more, to refuse all government interaction as Cardinal O'Connor of New York was reputed to have done. But instead, they opted for pragmatism.
Over the next months and years you can expect their fellow Bishops to follow suit. This is the same collection of despots whose response to clergy sexual abuse was to enact screening for laity and exempt themselves.
But be not afraid. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords will prevail. It had to happen this way unfortunately.
