Identity Crisis
As I gasped at an online article (that I subsequently verified as true); I wondered what would happen if I showed up at the doctors and told him that I now identified as a cat…would he offer me a saucer of milk ? Probably not, but if someone (even a child) declares that they ‘feel’ like they are another gender than their actual one, despite the physical evidence to the contrary, the doctor may proceed with hormone therapies or surgery to mutilate them and they can transition to another gender.
Well I suppose there are few surprises left in the madness of our age; a one minute read of a newspaper reveals the brokenness of humanity as it spirals down ever further into confusion and depravity.
One would however expect better from within the Church, and the Catholic schools entrusted with the formation of the hearts of the next generation of Catholics. The article I just read was about a transgender ‘man’ (a woman who has undergone a transition to become a ‘man’) who is a teacher of religion at a Catholic school in England… supposedly ‘bridging the gap between LGBT community and religion’. A little further study revealed that the Bishop of the same diocese is officiating at LGBT Masses.
Casualties of gender ideology and the LGBT agenda are stacking up, ruining people’s lives; they need help and only God can fix this. He equipped the church to deal with any such attack on the dignity of the human person. He gave His church the power of His word to call to repentance, His gifts of counsel and Healing to restore their minds and hearts and the gift of Exorcism for those under the worst kind of demonic oppression to set the captives free. How He longs to set them free and heal them and welcome them home; without compromise, fully restored. He makes no treaties with the enemy of their souls who seeks only to pervert and destroy them.
Ambiguity is Satan’s foot in the door and there is already plenty of it without importing it into the classrooms or church; we do a great disservice to those who are confused about gender when you sign a peace treaty with the author of confusion.

Stephanus Antonious
A couple of years
ago my dad surprised me with a story I had not heard. It was about my Baptism.
Apparently I was Baptised in Latin, so strictly speaking my name is not Stephen
Anthony but Stephanus Antonious. It has a nice Gladitorial ring to it ;
which explains a lot.
I wonder what all the fuss is about having Mass in Latin; it seems to verge on obsession from some quarters; particularly when it is idolised to the point of its proponents separating themselves from the church, becoming essentially Latin speaking protestants; like the SSPX for whom even the subtle hint of excommunication of its bishops wasn’t enough to snap them out of it. In true protestant tradition they quickly splintered into SSPV and a host of other factions who couldn’t agree on what they disagreed with. It sounds familiar somehow… (2 Timothy 2:14)
Language is important though. And I think scripture hints at what is appropriate. In the Acts of the Apostles, on Pentecost we see the Apostles preaching (I Imagine in Aramaic) and ‘everybody understood them in their own language’. (Acts 2:6) That’s how the Holy Spirit did it; He did not make them all suddenly understand Aramaic, but translated it for them into their own language; the language of the heart.
A few years ago, up in a fairly remote Northern Province in the Philippines I was talking to a chap from the Isneg tribe who told me about a missionary who had spent years translating the New Testament into the Isneg language. The people there speak English and Filipino of course and many were already Christians but He said when he read scripture in his ‘own language’ he wept; it moved him so deeply to hear it in the language of heart.
Surely though what
is needed is to get back to basics, not so much with tradition but fully
‘orthodox’ to the instructions left behind by Jesus. To preach the Gospel, Heal
the sick, Raise the Dead, Cast out demons.

“Dear children!
I am looking at you and I see that you are lost. That is why I am calling all of you: return to God, return to prayer—and the Holy Spirit will fill you with His love which gives joy to the heart. Hope will grow in you, also for a better future, and you will become joyful witnesses of God’s mercy in you and around you.
Thank you for having responded to my call.”

The Wa tribes in Burma ... how they became Christians .. from Asia Harvest website
The history of Christianity among the Wa is a long one, with God first reaching them with great power through a unique demonstration of His love and grace in the 1880s. The late Don Richardson's wonderful book, Eternity in their Hearts, tells the extraordinary story of how the Gospel first came to the Wa people:
