Orwell: Corrupt language, corrupts thought and action

In his essay, "Politics and the English Language" George Orwell makes the important point that if we use corrupt language then our morality and thinking inevitable becomes corrupt too. We use language to form our thoughts, defend freedom and uncover deception. The paper was published in 1946, but if we remove the references to World War II, we could read it as if it were released today.

Here are just some of the words and phrases that have corrupted and confused thought and action in our post-modern world:

1. The word “sex” to refer to the human biological reality of being born male and female has been hijacked by gender, gender identity and gender expression. The binary nature of human sexuality has been replaced with dozens of abstract genders and numerous sexual orientations.

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook is quick to censor conservative views but not pedophiles who want to connect on Instagram. The social media site makes it easy. The Wall Street Journal reports on this sickening story, "Instagram’s Algorithm Connects and Promotes Pedophile Network."

According to the Wall Street Journal, "Instagram, through its system of fostering communities with sets of narrow interests, has helped guide users to illegal child sex content ...

We must not accept and teach children that one is born in the wrong body

To accept and believe one is born in the wrong body, and teach the lie to children, is the sin of pride. It's child abuse to instruct children that they can change their sex. Christian belief is based on the idea that God crated human beings as male and female. There are two sexes. This truth can be fact checked. However, gender identity is a human construct and a foolish attempt to play god. The duality of the sexes, marriage and family define the Christian concept of the human person.

Pink Floyd got it right: "Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone"

You may remember the song by the rock band Pink Floyd titled, "Another Brick in the Wall" which had this message to teachers, "Leave them kids alone." The line is much more appropriate these woke days as innocent children are faced with the minefield of radical sexual topics, such as, gender identity, consent, anal sex and sexual orientations. Today's sex-education in public schools is more like grooming and little about education. It amounts to children abuse by the public educational system.

Is the United Nations preparing to make Biblical thought hate speech?

Is the United Nations developing policy to label Biblical thinking about the person, human sexuality, marriage and family as “hate speech”? Will Christian belief be defined as bigotry and discrimination?

Just take a look at how the United Nations presently defines "hate speech," and it becomes clear that Christian thought could soon be censored and possibly attacked as thought violence.

For the third time, Pope Francis has sent a message to Fr. James Martin in support of his lgbtq outreach efforts in the community.

Imagine what a world if Christians really lived their faith?

Imagine what a world it would be if Christians really lived their faith? It was G.K. Chesterton who wisely remarked, “The problem with Christianity is not that it has been tried and found wanting, but that it has been found difficult and left untried.”

On June 3, the liturgy celebrated St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions. In total, there were twenty-two martyrs. Lwanga was a catechist and worked for king Mwanga of Uganda. The king was a sodomite and sexuality abused the young pages.

The western cult of secularism will continue to attack its only oppostion: the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church will continue to be under attack in the West by the cult of secular progressive ideology. It's being pushed in public schools, the media, corporations and the courts. Governments, like Canada's Justin Trudeau Liberals, continue to fund groups to aggressively advance the sexual agenda. The woke cult is systematically doing its work through the policy of DIE, diversity, inclusion and equity.
