Religion Title: Protestants: It’s Time to Come Back Protestants: It’s Time to Come Back Leila Miller • April 2, AD2013 To my Protestant brothers and sisters: It’s time to come back to Mother Church. We want you, we need you, we love you. I’ve spent a lot of time in dialogue with activist atheists recently, and the direction we are going is not pretty. We are witnessing a rapid cultural decline into amorality. Satan seeks the ruin of souls through the destruction of marriage and family, and the quickest route to his goal is the profanation of sex. The truth and meaning of human sexuality is our era’s cultural fault line, and unfortunately, Protestant denominations have been tumbling into its widening crevasse at an alarming pace. The first cracks denying the sacred nature of human sexuality began mere decades ago with the first tentative acceptance of contraception by a Christian church (the Anglicans). After 1,900+ years of unbroken Christian teaching on the immorality of contraception (including 400+ years of unbroken Protestant teaching), a moral evil was suddenly declared good. The entirety of Protestantism, although horrified at first, soon followed suit. ”Woe to those who call evil good” — Isaiah 5:20 Then came other issues — sterilization, masturbation, abortion, fornication and cohabiting, homosexual activity and homosexual ”marriage”. One by one, Protestant communities have broken from Christian teaching and sided with the secular culture. Many Protestant communities do not accept all the aforementioned evils as good, of course, and some are making a valiant attempt to fight one or more of them. However, there is no guarantee that those denominations won’t eventually accept other sexual sins in the same way they accepted contraception, sterilization and masturbation. A majority vote by church leaders could launch an unsuspecting Protestant from the Spirit of the Gospel right into the spirit of the age — the Planned Parenthood age. Look where you are standing. Unless you stand with the Catholic Church, you may already have one foot off the cliff. How to guarantee that you’ll stand firmly on the ground of moral Truth? Come back home to the Catholic Church. For over two thousand years: The Catholic Church has never taught that contraception is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that sterilization is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that masturbation is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that abortion is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that fornication is a moral good, and she never will. The Catholic Church has never taught that homosexual activity is a moral good, and she never will. The moral teachings of the Church have never changed, and they never will. Human sexuality is transcendent, life-giving and sacred, and the Catholic Church will teach that Truth till the last day. Dear Protestant, a church with a changing morality is a church built on shifting sand. If you want to build your life and eternity on something solid, build it on the Rock of Peter. Don’t be carried about by every wind of social change; come back to the Catholic Church and stand strong with us — one united Body as Jesus intended. America may not survive many more generations at the rate we are going, but the Church and her teachings will stand regardless, speaking the same Truths, undisturbed, till the end of time. Believe me, it’s a really nice place to be in a storm. Extremely peaceful. So, come on. You’ll like it here, living in peace and joy and certainty. It’s your rightful home anyway. Come back to Holy Mother Church. It really is time. © 2013. Leila Miller. All Rights Reserved.

Come back...but keep an eye on your boys around the priests. Cheap shot? No, not really. The truth hurts. The Church acknowledges that those incidents were wrong, but still refuses to acknowledge the extent of it, or the depth of the coverup and the harshness of the resistance to being held financially accountable. In this sense, the Church resembles Americans in their attitudes about Indian Treaties, slavery and segregation. "That was in the past, so it doesn't matter, look at all the good we do!" That's not enough. You have to FULLY confess the sin and admit the EXTENT of the guilt, and then you have to FIX in PRESENT TIME the ONGOING DAMAGE caused by what you did as an institution. This is true for America and it's true for the Catholic Church too.
