Gospel 1/26/09

Mk 3:22-30
The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and“By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”Summoning them, he began to speak to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan?If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him.But no one can enter a strong man’s house to plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong man.Then he can plunder his house. Amen, I say to you, all sins and all blasphemies that people utter will be forgiven them.But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”For they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

How appropriate that in this month, the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, that we read today how a house divided against itself cannot stand. I would add further that a house that is killing itself cannot long survive.

Obama Reverses Rules on U.S. Abortion Aid - NYTimes.com

“the first in an anticipated series of attacks on longstanding pro-life policies as the new administration pushes Obama’s sweeping abortion agenda.”

I am sure we will see many more executive orders, directives and pushes for liberal democratic legislation to promote the culture of death so emabraced by the left. Once all the unborn are done away with and we sterilize our society with same-sex unions, the population "problem" will be over - there won't be a population left to worry about it.
