Another Step Toward What We Know Must Eventually come

Father Z posts on that body of wisdom and dignitorial splendor, the San Francisco City Council and its resolution that officially labeled the Catholic church’s moral teachings on homosexuality as "insulting to all San Franciscans," "hateful," "defamatory," "insensitive" and "ignorant" will be challenged tomorrow in court for violating the Constitution’s prohibition of government hostility toward religion.

One must, from a viewpoint of mimetic theory keep in the forefront of one's understanding this specific insight of Gil Bailie: "All projects of liberation in our world that start from the presumption that we cannot question desire, that desire is the ticket to our libertion, end up by offering us victims and an ideology that justifies that victimization."

Cutting to the chase, sans identification with the universal Victim revealed in and safeguarded by the Catholic Church's Tradition, Scripture, and Magisterium, such parodies of liberation as the action taken above will as surely produce more innocent victims as women's liberation has produced abortuarial victims by the score.

This action on the part of San Francisco feels righteous, as any mob feels righteous scapegoating, but actually has found a sanctioned means of churning into action the victimary mechanism of the primitive sacred. Welcome to neo-pagan America in earnest.
