THE RULERS WE DESERVE

Queen Jezebel
There remains much concern by dedicated anti-abortion Catholics about the refusal of our archbishop to excommunicate one of the most hardened and public pro-abortion government officials in the country - our very own Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. 

That concern was deepened when our Vicar General, Fr. Romeo Convocar - who only days earlier had compared Leon Guerrero to King Herod - called for and celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving for Leon Guerrero's re-election, at which Leon Guerrero received communion from the same Fr. Romeo Convocar. 

In this writer's opinion it is time to stop losing sleep over what our church leadership is doing or not doing and recognize that God may be punishing us with the rulers we deserve - which is something God did as a matter of course throughout Bible history whenever His Chosen People abandoned Him. 

The fact is that why should we be upset about the failure of the church to act on a single person - even if she is the governor - when for decades, according to official abortion reports, Chamorros, the majority of whom are Catholic, have aborted their children at a near genocidal rate.

It should be no surprise if God has finally "handed (us) over to impurity through the lusts of (our) hearts for the mutual degradation of (our) bodies" and we have received "the due penalty for (our) perversity" (Romans 1:20 et seq) - by God's giving us the rulers we deserve. 

Meanwhile, let's see if we can change some votes for the next election.

Romans 1:20-32

Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.

While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper.

They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. They are gossips and scandalmongers and they hate God. They are insolent, haughty, boastful, ingenious in their wickedness, and rebellious toward their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know the just decree of God that all who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
