Summary

Why does the Catholic Church oppose homosexuality and all of the new perversions which have resulted from it? Well, the answer to that is simple: It s all about love. God made us, and gave us the rules for them, not for our own benefit, but for His own benefit.

00:00:00.000 I have to admit it, I'm a bit of a martial arts fan.
00:00:02.900 I'm also a bit of a fan of like superhero films
00:00:06.640 and time travel films and well, you get the gist.
00:00:12.040 So a new film came out.
00:00:14.500 It's actually done smashingly well at the box office.
00:00:17.200 It's called Everything Everywhere All at Once.
00:00:20.700 And you know what?
00:00:21.640 It's a disgustingly anti-Catholic movie.
00:00:24.860 In fact, there should be a huge warning
00:00:26.360 that this box office hit is a not-so-subtle attack
00:00:30.560 on the Eucharist itself.
00:00:33.380 This is The John Henry Weston Show.
00:00:35.540 Stay tuned.
00:00:36.060 Just before we begin, let me tell you
00:00:57.320 that this is LifeSite's 25th anniversary year.
00:00:59.840 On August 17th, we are having an anniversary event
00:01:03.320 in Naples, Florida.
00:01:04.760 Hope you can join us there.
00:01:06.460 It's gonna be awesome.
00:01:08.080 Naples, Florida.
00:01:08.820 Go to gala25.lifesitenews.com for more information.
00:01:13.620 Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross.
00:01:16.200 In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
00:01:18.920 and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
00:01:22.800 So the newly released film,
00:01:24.920 Everything Everywhere All at Once,
00:01:27.680 is a martial arts sci-fi fantasy
00:01:30.640 raking in cash at the box office.
00:01:32.820 However, its messaging is actually profoundly anti-Catholic,
00:01:37.500 and it is disgusting to boot,
00:01:39.720 with scenes of a woman beating a man with dildos
00:01:43.340 and a man trying desperately to impale himself in his bottom.
00:01:47.880 So the whole theme of the movie centers on a mother
00:01:51.140 refusing to joyfully and fully embrace
00:01:54.220 her daughter's lesbian relationship.
00:01:56.180 The mother tolerates it,
00:01:59.040 but tries to shield the grandfather from the situation
00:02:02.120 by calling her daughter's partner a friend
00:02:04.520 rather than her girlfriend.
00:02:07.100 In addition to pushing the total affirmation of homosexuality,
00:02:11.740 the film portrays the need to fulfill the desires
00:02:14.540 of all the sexual fetishes in the LGBTQI plus whatever alphabet,
00:02:20.760 including even BDSM with the heroine
00:02:25.240 bringing what you might call
00:02:28.420 an attacker to joy and peace
00:02:31.380 by satisfying his masochistic tendency.
00:02:34.880 Well, the multiverse element of the film
00:02:39.060 leads to bizarre and intentionally mind-bending comedic elements.
00:02:44.000 In the end, however, the great evil
00:02:47.880 which prevents the full acceptance of homosexuality
00:02:51.040 and its associated perversions
00:02:52.660 is a thinly-veiled portrayal of the Catholic Blessed Sacrament.
00:02:58.640 In what is obviously meant to look like a Catholic Church,
00:03:03.700 the heroine and her daughter are brought to the altar,
00:03:07.480 and behind the tabernacle curtain or veil
00:03:10.700 is bread, not the unleavened bread of the Eucharist,
00:03:14.940 but a blackened bagel which spins like a black hole
00:03:19.060 and is ready to suck in the troubled youth
00:03:21.860 and perhaps all humanity.
00:03:25.100 The heroine pulls her daughter back from that abyss
00:03:29.060 by giving full acceptance to her homosexuality
00:03:31.780 and introduces her daughter's lesbian partner
00:03:35.260 to the grandfather as her girlfriend,
00:03:37.300 after which all good and peace is restored.
00:03:42.760 The film is disgusting on many levels,
00:03:46.060 but none more so than the distortion
00:03:48.700 of the Catholic teaching on homosexuality
00:03:51.420 and related issues,
00:03:53.380 never of course mentioning that it is the Catholic teaching,
00:03:57.420 but only implying such with the use of Eucharistic imagery.
00:04:01.620 So, why is it that the Church opposes homosexuality
00:04:07.340 and all of the new perversions which have stemmed from it?
00:04:11.080 Well, the answer to that is simple.
00:04:13.580 It's all about love.
00:04:15.320 You know, the famous saying of homosexual advocates
00:04:17.680 has always been,
00:04:18.920 how can you be against love?
00:04:21.960 And the only proper answer,
00:04:24.860 although it's rarely ever used,
00:04:26.880 is the only reason why we oppose homosexual sexual relations
00:04:31.640 is love.
00:04:34.100 It's true love for all people,
00:04:36.480 especially our brothers and sisters,
00:04:37.860 who are tempted to engage in sexual behaviors
00:04:40.100 that are harmful to them.
00:04:41.960 We must love them enough
00:04:43.440 to tell them that these behaviors
00:04:45.140 are harmful for them,
00:04:47.080 that they are harmful physically,
00:04:48.900 psychologically, and spiritually.
00:04:51.080 You know, God made us,
00:04:53.540 and He gave Himself for us.
00:04:56.200 He gave us the rules.
00:04:58.720 He created our bodies,
00:05:00.760 and He gave us the rules for them,
00:05:02.880 not for His own benefit,
00:05:05.280 not to deny us freedom or happiness or whatever,
00:05:08.640 but for our own benefit,
00:05:10.520 for our freedom,
00:05:11.860 the freedom from slavery to sin,
00:05:14.220 which brings with it disease and death,
00:05:17.600 and spiritual death.
00:05:19.680 At LifeSite, we have published for years
00:05:21.940 the studies that prove the grave harm
00:05:24.600 to the body and the mind,
00:05:26.440 which is caused by sexual activity
00:05:28.640 that runs counter to that which God intended.
00:05:32.400 The loving union of one man and one woman
00:05:34.980 in a free, faithful, fruitful giving of themselves
00:05:38.600 to one another until death.
00:05:40.120 Every other sexual engagement,
00:05:42.720 be it with persons of the same sex
00:05:44.960 or multiple persons with pornography,
00:05:47.420 is harmful.
00:05:49.000 And thus God, who created us,
00:05:51.540 body and mind,
00:05:52.660 warned us against such harmful behaviors.
00:05:56.640 And what is it beyond love
00:05:59.900 that could motivate anyone
00:06:01.400 to say such things nowadays?
00:06:03.460 When we speak of such truths,
00:06:05.900 we're called haters and bigots.
00:06:07.940 The only motivation that could motivate us
00:06:11.360 to say such things today is love.
00:06:14.000 To love our fellow men and women enough
00:06:16.100 to tell them the truth
00:06:17.240 on the true meaning and beauty
00:06:20.300 of human sexuality.
00:06:22.980 For those of you who may not be aware
00:06:25.340 of the harms of homosexuality
00:06:27.160 and the many other sexual activities
00:06:29.180 outside of God's plan,
00:06:31.080 here's actually one of the most powerful testimonies
00:06:34.480 I have ever seen on it.
00:06:35.840 It actually comes from a homosexual activist.
00:06:39.200 He was actually pointing out
00:06:42.500 to the government in Canada
00:06:44.180 the harms of homosexual activity.
00:06:47.900 He intended to do that, of course,
00:06:49.360 not to do that per se,
00:06:50.660 but to ask for more healthcare dollars
00:06:52.520 for the LGBT community.
00:06:54.860 But here's what he said.
00:06:55.840 It was on February 17th, 2009,
00:06:58.380 and it was carried in actually
00:07:00.180 Canada's largest gay paper called Extra.
00:07:02.220 It reported on that group
00:07:04.740 that was going forward,
00:07:06.180 that homosexual group,
00:07:06.980 going forward to the Canadian government,
00:07:09.740 again, to ask for more healthcare dollars
00:07:11.900 for the gay community.
00:07:14.440 The activist's name was Jens Helquist.
00:07:17.500 And he was the executive director
00:07:20.140 of the Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition
00:07:22.420 at the time.
00:07:23.120 It was a leading homosexual activist group.
00:07:25.320 He explained his concerns
00:07:27.040 about the health status
00:07:28.200 of homosexual men and women in Canada.
00:07:29.940 He observed, and I quote,
00:07:32.400 We have one of the poorest
00:07:33.320 health statuses in this country.
00:07:35.660 Health issues affecting queer Canadians
00:07:37.320 include lower life expectancy
00:07:38.840 than the average Canadian,
00:07:40.320 suicide, higher rates of substance abuse,
00:07:42.980 depression, inadequate access to care,
00:07:45.720 and HIV-AIDS.
00:07:48.060 He continued this way,
00:07:49.440 and I quote again.
00:07:50.320 He continued, and I quote again.
00:07:52.220 There are all kinds of health issues
00:07:54.000 that are endemic to our community.
00:07:56.220 We have higher rates of anal cancer
00:07:58.300 in the gay male community.
00:07:59.840 Lesbians have higher rates of breast cancer.
00:08:02.280 The reality is that there are more LGBT people
00:08:05.520 in this country who die of suicide each year
00:08:08.120 than die from AIDS.
00:08:09.740 There are more who die early deaths
00:08:11.520 from substance abuse than die of HIV-AIDS.
00:08:15.600 And Jens Helquist,
00:08:17.680 that homosexual activist,
00:08:19.760 concluded this way, and I quote,
00:08:22.280 Now that we can get married,
00:08:25.540 everyone assumes that we don't have
00:08:27.260 any issues anymore.
00:08:28.760 A lot of the deaths that occur
00:08:30.580 in our community are hidden.
00:08:32.220 We don't see them.
00:08:33.740 Those of us who are working
00:08:35.500 on the front lines see them,
00:08:37.660 and I'm tired of watching my community die.
00:08:43.260 So, with regard to the transgender ideology
00:08:46.600 that is so prevalent today,
00:08:48.360 I want you to check out this medical doctor,
00:08:51.220 Michelle Critella,
00:08:52.320 who explains in one minute
00:08:54.160 the harm of this ideology
00:08:56.160 better than most could do in a whole book.
00:08:58.600 Check this out.
00:08:59.700 The definition of a delusion
00:09:01.360 is a fixed false belief.
00:09:04.100 So, if I persistently, consistently insist
00:09:07.440 that I am Margaret Thatcher,
00:09:09.240 or persistently, consistently insist
00:09:11.400 that I am a cat,
00:09:13.220 or I'm an amputee trapped in a normal body,
00:09:18.620 I am delusional.
00:09:20.020 And in fact, there are people
00:09:21.500 who believe they are amputees
00:09:22.920 trapped in a normal body.
00:09:24.220 They are appropriately diagnosed
00:09:25.840 as having body identity integrity disorder.
00:09:29.300 If you want to cut off an arm or a leg,
00:09:31.180 you're mentally ill.
00:09:31.980 But if you want to cut off
00:09:33.460 healthy breasts and genitals,
00:09:35.760 oh, then you're transgender
00:09:36.780 and you don't have a mental illness.
00:09:38.460 Individuals with disorders of sex development
00:09:40.860 are being used as pawns
00:09:44.040 in the fight
00:09:45.480 for basically a civil right
00:09:48.720 to a mental illness.
00:09:49.980 There's no such thing
00:09:50.760 as a civil right to a mental illness.
00:09:52.540 But that is, in fact,
00:09:54.100 what we are dealing with,
00:09:55.180 with the transgender rights movement.
00:09:58.560 In fact, you want to watch
00:09:59.940 that whole interview with Dr. Critella,
00:10:02.800 which was conducted by
00:10:03.960 Tradition, Family, and Property.
00:10:06.040 And you can see the link to that
00:10:08.280 in my blog post on this video
00:10:10.800 at LifeSite News.
00:10:12.840 How many people
00:10:14.180 are hearing this truth today?
00:10:17.260 It's actually almost nobody.
00:10:19.720 And the saddest thing
00:10:20.880 is that the very ministers
00:10:23.160 that God has put in charge
00:10:24.780 of teaching His truth
00:10:26.100 on human sexuality
00:10:26.980 have, for the most part,
00:10:28.760 remained silent.
00:10:30.800 Believe it or not,
00:10:31.740 the Vatican once
00:10:33.020 specifically warned
00:10:35.000 against silence
00:10:36.660 on the hard truths
00:10:37.720 of homosexuality.
00:10:38.880 The man who became
00:10:40.580 Pope Benedict XVI,
00:10:42.100 while he headed up
00:10:43.120 the Congregation
00:10:43.700 for the Doctrine of Faith,
00:10:44.840 issued a public document
00:10:46.300 directed to the bishops
00:10:47.660 of the Catholic Church
00:10:48.500 saying that silence
00:10:50.340 about the Church's teachings
00:10:51.900 regarding the spiritual harm
00:10:53.500 of homosexual acts
00:10:54.420 presents a false charity
00:10:55.900 which is neither caring
00:10:57.000 nor pastoral.
00:10:58.100 It was in 1986,
00:10:59.840 the CDF document,
00:11:01.340 and it was called
00:11:02.020 Letter to the Bishops
00:11:03.140 of the Catholic Church
00:11:03.940 on the Pastoral Care
00:11:04.960 of Homosexual Persons.
00:11:06.260 It emphasized
00:11:07.080 that the necessity
00:11:08.580 of, and I quote,
00:11:10.460 clearly stating
00:11:11.740 that homosexual activity
00:11:13.180 is immoral,
00:11:14.560 end quote.
00:11:15.380 It was the instruction
00:11:16.620 to the bishops
00:11:17.300 of the world
00:11:17.980 on homosexuality
00:11:18.960 that said these words,
00:11:20.960 quote,
00:11:21.620 but we wish to make
00:11:22.940 it clear
00:11:23.540 that departure
00:11:24.280 from the Church's teachings
00:11:25.400 or silence about it
00:11:27.700 in an effort
00:11:28.600 to provide pastoral care
00:11:30.260 is neither caring
00:11:31.780 nor pastoral.
00:11:32.680 Only what is true
00:11:34.880 can ultimately be pastoral.
00:11:36.940 The neglect
00:11:37.460 of the Church's position
00:11:38.680 prevents homosexual men
00:11:39.820 and women
00:11:40.260 from receiving the care
00:11:41.700 they need and deserve,
00:11:43.980 end quote.
00:11:45.980 Today,
00:11:47.120 all that seems
00:11:48.160 to come from the Vatican
00:11:49.220 seems to be confusing
00:11:51.300 or falsehood
00:11:52.800 on this very issue.
00:11:55.000 So let's have a look
00:11:56.220 at the recent past.
00:11:58.580 In 2005,
00:12:00.120 a few weeks after
00:12:01.240 the election
00:12:01.800 of Pope Benedict XVI,
00:12:03.480 the late Cardinal
00:12:04.500 Alfonso López Trujillo,
00:12:06.720 who retained his position
00:12:09.080 as the president
00:12:09.720 of the Pontifical Council
00:12:10.900 for the Family,
00:12:11.980 gave one of the strongest
00:12:13.400 statements
00:12:14.020 defending the traditional family
00:12:16.040 ever voiced
00:12:16.920 in the Church.
00:12:18.220 Cardinal Trujillo said,
00:12:19.760 parliaments,
00:12:20.480 which open the way
00:12:21.700 for same-sex marriage,
00:12:23.280 destroy,
00:12:24.080 piece by piece,
00:12:24.960 the institution
00:12:25.620 of the family,
00:12:26.500 the most valuable heritage
00:12:27.920 of peoples
00:12:29.220 and humanity.
00:12:29.800 He called
00:12:32.000 homosexual marriage,
00:12:33.220 and I quote,
00:12:34.220 a crime which represents
00:12:35.600 the destruction
00:12:36.320 of the world.
00:12:37.980 And,
00:12:38.620 speaking of adoption
00:12:40.160 of children
00:12:40.880 by homosexual couples,
00:12:42.060 he said,
00:12:42.480 and I quote,
00:12:43.640 this would destroy
00:12:44.540 the child's future.
00:12:45.760 It would be an act
00:12:46.600 of moral violence
00:12:48.360 against the child,
00:12:49.680 end quote.
00:12:50.880 You know,
00:12:51.440 with those strong words,
00:12:52.640 he awoke many
00:12:53.500 to the dangers
00:12:54.300 of the worldwide
00:12:55.600 assault on the family.
00:12:57.900 Importantly,
00:12:58.620 the cardinal explained
00:12:59.820 that it was out of love
00:13:01.120 that the Church
00:13:01.880 was pointing out
00:13:02.980 these dangers.
00:13:04.200 Love,
00:13:04.820 not only for society
00:13:05.860 at large,
00:13:06.360 but also for homosexuals
00:13:07.660 themselves.
00:13:08.420 He said,
00:13:08.820 and I quote,
00:13:09.640 as I have said many times,
00:13:11.400 homosexual peoples
00:13:13.220 must be respected,
00:13:15.580 loved,
00:13:15.880 and assisted.
00:13:16.620 We must help them
00:13:17.560 overcome this situation
00:13:18.840 if they seriously want to,
00:13:21.000 and help them realize
00:13:22.560 that there is not
00:13:23.720 only life on earth,
00:13:25.360 there is another life.
00:13:26.900 It is false to say
00:13:28.420 that the Church
00:13:28.980 does not love these people.
00:13:30.440 She loves them
00:13:31.180 and wants to lead them
00:13:32.860 to eternal salvation,
00:13:35.020 end quote.
00:13:36.820 In an address
00:13:37.880 to the Roman Curia
00:13:39.120 on December 22nd, 2008,
00:13:41.840 Pope Benedict XVI
00:13:42.960 capitalized on the
00:13:43.960 popular ecology trend,
00:13:45.780 calling for a human ecology,
00:13:48.100 respecting the Creator's
00:13:49.580 natural order
00:13:51.000 of relationships
00:13:51.740 between man and woman.
00:13:53.220 In language very similar
00:13:54.520 to that of Cardinal Trujillo,
00:13:56.060 the Holy Father
00:13:57.760 at the time said
00:13:58.940 the Church must
00:13:59.860 protect man
00:14:01.120 from self-destruction.
00:14:03.220 He said,
00:14:03.680 and I quote,
00:14:04.220 if the Church speaks
00:14:05.160 of the nature
00:14:06.120 of the human being
00:14:07.580 as man and woman,
00:14:08.920 and demands
00:14:10.020 that this order
00:14:10.840 of creation
00:14:11.500 be respected,
00:14:12.760 this is not
00:14:13.280 some antiquated
00:14:14.280 metaphysics.
00:14:15.840 What is involved here
00:14:17.200 is faith
00:14:18.580 in the Creator
00:14:19.460 and a readiness
00:14:20.180 to listen
00:14:20.840 to the language
00:14:21.680 of creation.
00:14:22.380 To disregard this
00:14:24.360 would be
00:14:25.100 the self-destruction
00:14:26.320 of man himself
00:14:27.200 and hence
00:14:28.060 the destruction
00:14:28.820 of God's own work,
00:14:30.400 end quote.
00:14:31.780 The Pope did not
00:14:33.060 speak on the subject
00:14:34.220 to be popular,
00:14:35.120 not because he had
00:14:35.860 some vendetta
00:14:36.740 against gays either.
00:14:38.260 He was preaching
00:14:39.200 caritas in veritate,
00:14:40.500 speaking the truth
00:14:41.380 out of love,
00:14:42.260 love for God
00:14:43.160 and his truth,
00:14:43.860 love for mankind
00:14:44.380 as a whole,
00:14:45.340 and specifically love
00:14:46.400 for his fellow human beings
00:14:47.680 who are hurting themselves
00:14:48.660 with destructive
00:14:49.480 sexual lifestyles.
00:14:50.820 You know,
00:14:52.000 for his remarks,
00:14:53.040 he was castigated
00:14:54.280 in the mainstream press.
00:14:55.760 In thousands
00:14:56.340 of news articles
00:14:57.180 and talk shows
00:14:57.940 around the world,
00:14:59.100 from Bulgaria
00:14:59.980 to India,
00:15:00.760 Pope Benedict
00:15:01.340 was bashed
00:15:02.380 for daring to say
00:15:03.580 we should care
00:15:05.280 as much for mankind
00:15:06.320 as the tropical rainforests,
00:15:08.200 that the harm
00:15:09.040 caused by going
00:15:09.980 against the Creator's
00:15:10.920 plan for human sexuality
00:15:12.020 is destructive
00:15:12.660 and hurtful.
00:15:14.040 The homosexual press
00:15:15.540 had the most
00:15:16.740 outrageous headlines
00:15:18.140 on the topic,
00:15:19.000 a pink news headline
00:15:20.300 in the UK read,
00:15:21.900 Pope learned nothing
00:15:23.020 from his time
00:15:23.720 in the Hitler Youth,
00:15:24.880 and Pope Benedict's
00:15:26.200 latest outburst
00:15:27.000 justifies homophobic
00:15:28.280 bullying and attacks.
00:15:29.920 But the coverage
00:15:30.620 in the mainstream press
00:15:31.660 was hardly less offensive.
00:15:33.760 The San Francisco
00:15:34.520 Chronicle headlined,
00:15:37.040 Pope Benedict
00:15:37.600 did Christmas
00:15:38.180 preaching bigotry
00:15:39.660 disguised as compassion,
00:15:41.640 and the Times of London
00:15:42.700 said Christmas
00:15:43.880 was never meant
00:15:44.720 to be about this.
00:15:45.640 Well, a good friend
00:15:48.120 of mine,
00:15:48.780 a former practicing
00:15:49.900 homosexual,
00:15:50.920 and now a faithful
00:15:52.060 Catholic,
00:15:53.200 says about the Catholic
00:15:54.900 position on homosexuality,
00:15:56.420 and I quote,
00:15:56.940 I don't think the Catholic
00:15:58.800 Church's current attitude
00:15:59.880 is abusive.
00:16:01.160 I think it's love.
00:16:03.040 A loving parent
00:16:04.200 sometimes has to tell
00:16:05.420 a child not to play
00:16:07.120 in a bad neighborhood.
00:16:08.680 The child may take offense
00:16:10.240 and tell all his friends
00:16:11.640 how mean his parents are.
00:16:13.500 Perhaps the child
00:16:14.260 goes to school
00:16:15.260 and tells the teachers
00:16:16.540 and principal
00:16:17.320 that his parents
00:16:18.480 are abusive.
00:16:19.940 The parent sadly
00:16:21.220 accepts this anger,
00:16:22.580 judgment,
00:16:23.140 and threatening calls
00:16:24.200 from teachers,
00:16:25.240 principals perhaps,
00:16:26.040 but nevertheless,
00:16:28.060 the parent
00:16:28.440 has to stand firm
00:16:30.000 because the parent
00:16:30.700 loves the child
00:16:31.760 and wants to protect
00:16:32.720 the child
00:16:33.200 from the dangers
00:16:34.260 of the bad neighborhood.
00:16:36.880 Sometimes being
00:16:37.660 a good parent
00:16:38.360 means being hated
00:16:39.800 by children
00:16:40.700 who make unsafe demands.
00:16:43.560 My friend
00:16:44.160 continued this way.
00:16:45.840 He said,
00:16:46.300 like the child
00:16:46.940 in the example above,
00:16:48.600 some people
00:16:49.600 in the gay community
00:16:50.480 think the Catholic Church
00:16:51.640 has been unfair
00:16:52.480 with its position
00:16:53.440 on gay sex
00:16:54.320 and have complained
00:16:55.560 loudly and publicly.
00:16:57.680 The Church
00:16:58.340 has been beat up
00:16:59.240 badly by the press,
00:17:00.680 politicians,
00:17:01.460 and the courts.
00:17:02.960 Like the parent
00:17:03.780 in the example above,
00:17:04.960 the Catholic Church
00:17:05.700 must stand firm
00:17:06.980 and accept
00:17:07.900 the pain and damage
00:17:09.400 that this bad press,
00:17:11.280 in order to protect
00:17:12.440 the souls of Christians
00:17:13.940 who obey and listen
00:17:15.340 to the Church's teaching.
00:17:17.180 It is precisely
00:17:18.500 because the Catholic Church
00:17:19.640 loves gay people
00:17:20.960 and all people,
00:17:22.220 that it advises
00:17:24.040 against gay sex.
00:17:26.240 End quote.
00:17:27.560 In the end,
00:17:28.380 my friends,
00:17:29.360 it is all about love.
00:17:32.820 For LifeSite News,
00:17:33.940 this is John Henry Weston.
00:17:35.520 May God bless you.
