Justice Not Justice

Sonia Sotomayor - raised Catholic, self-lowered liberal religionist

I am a very spiritual person [though] maybe not traditionally religious in terms of Sunday Mass every week, that sort of thing. The trappings are not important to me, but, yes, I do believe in God. And, yes, I do believe in the commandments.

Activist Not Justice

If a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States walks like a duck and acts like a duck, she's probably an activist duck.

'There is going to be a lot of disappointment in the law, a huge amount' 

Earlier this month, (Justice) Sotomayor penned a scathing opinion when the court's majority allowed the Texas law to go into effect, calling the action "stunning."

"You know, I can't change Texas' law," Sotomayor said Wednesday, "but you can and everyone else who may or may not like it can go out there and be lobbying forces in changing laws that you don't like."

The justice then caught herself speaking about a contentious case currently before the court.

"I am pointing out to that when I shouldn't because they tell me I shouldn't," she said. "But my point is that there are going to be a lot of things you don't like" and that the public can change.

Arrogance

Justice Sotomayor has confirmed, yet again, what reasonable people know all too well, i.e., that so-called liberals are not so very liberal, and are so very prone to an abuse of position and authority when they are incapable of making a valid argument and they lose to reason and fact. They are the epitome of sore losers who, driven by an inversion of justice to which they have submitted their souls, almost invariably operate under the double-standard that, because they deem themselves the deities of political correctness (versus moral rectitude), they can act with impunity to undermine the rule of law. When someone or some group (or some state) promotes the fundamental human right to life from conception, said liberals react with illogic and wrath, and then attempt to enact that wrath by engaging in unethical conduct such as Justice Sotomayor has done. That is, by her speaking about a case currently before the Supreme Court.

Death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell

How do people of conscience defend the sacredness of life without descending into the same cesspool of subterfuge and wrath that consumes would-be justice warriors? We have to stand firm on the principle of the sacredness of human life. Anyone - everyone - who deprives the weakest among us of their lives, i.e., the unborn, by policy and/or participation, will sooner or later have to answer to God for their crime against humanity. Whether or not a person escapes the second death, the spiritual death, is up to God, Who knows the full content of every person's heart.

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Purity 

It doesn't take a genius theologian to identify the acts God abhors. We have a duty to warn our misguided brethren that they risk hellfire and damnation should they fail to repent of their sins. Meanwhile, recognizing the image of God in every person and the mercy God offers to us all, we practice mercy towards those who regret their life-ending decisions by praying with them, by guiding them to the liberating confessional and to the gift of eternal salvation that Christ offers to all who open their hearts to Him and His Gospel of life.

The Church knows that this Gospel of life, which she has received from her Lord, has a profound and persuasive echo in the heart of every person-believer and non-believer alike-because it marvelously fulfils all the heart's expectations while infinitely surpassing them. Even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can, by the light of reason and the hidden action of grace, come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart (cf. Rom 2:14-15) the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degree. Upon the recognition of this right, every human community and the political community itself are founded.

In a special way, believers in Christ must defend and promote this right, aware as they are of the wonderful truth recalled by the Second Vatican Council: "By his incarnation the Son of God has united himself in some fashion with every human being". This saving event reveals to humanity not only the boundless love of God who "so loved the world that he gave his only Son" (Jn 3:16), but also the incomparable value of every human person.
