During a speech made at the conservative Napa Institute Conference on August 2nd, Catholic Archbishop John C. Niendstedt of St. Paul and Minneapolis said this:
"Today, many evil forces have set their sights on the dissolution of marriage and the debasing of family life. Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just some of the forces threatening the stability of our civilization. The source of these machinations is none other than the Father of Lies. Satan knows all too well the value that the family contributes to the fabric of a good solid society, as well as the future of God's work on earth."
So, let me get this straight - Satan is behind the "evils" of: Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth? He has his sights set on these "evils" to try and tear apart marriages and families?
First of all, it appears as if Archbishop Niendstedt is a comedian. He believes people are being denied objective truth while he preaches about a perfect man born from the womb of a virgin, who sacrificed himself on a cross for all of mankind's sins, only to rise again three days later? Interesting...
Secondly, marriage was redefined all throughout the Bible. It has been redefined throughout human history. Does this mean Satan was one of the authors of the Bible or that we've been continuing to follow Satan's lead on redefining marriage numerous times?
Lastly, I'm quite perplexed on how Satan could have set his sights on the "evils" of both abortion and contraception. Common sense would dictate that the more humans use contraception, the less abortions they'll have due to a lesser number of unwanted pregnancies. That's quite the puzzling thought-process there:
Abortion: "Bad! The worst! An act of the devil!"
Contraception: "Bad! Awful! An act of the devil, but which makes abortions less frequent!"
Apparently, Archbishop Niendstedt doesn't feel that the acts of lying and brainwashing are devilish ones which are tearing families and marriages apart. So much for "objective truth..."
