Those who seek tolerance from others are actually quite often the ones who are intolerant to others.

Background information:

Greek Hellenism: This term means to yield to, to permit, to let, to leave to, to indulge, and to rely upon.

Homer’s Odyssey 2.226: “To Mento, Odysseus had given all his house in charge.”

Aristophanes’ Plutus 1079: “With anyone but you I should not be so easy.”

Plato’s Euthyphro 5e: “That this is established and right and that we ought not to let him who acts impiously go unpunished.”

Plato’s Charmides 171e: “Nor should be we permit others under our governance to do anything but what likely to do right.”

Old Testament: This term means to loosen to relinquish, to permit, to forsake, and to abandon.

New Testament: This term means to permit and to allow.

Noteworthy scripture:

Would-be followers of Jesus: Lk.9:59,61, Mt.8:21

1. Jesus states that Christian discipleship must take precedence over family obligations. (Jesus is intolerant in saying this!)
2. Even family ties must NOT take precedence over the obligation of proclaiming the kingdom of heaven.
3. Jewish and Hellenistic cultures placed an extremely high importance on familial obligations.
4. Jesus: let the spiritually dead (who will not follow Him) bury their dead.

Mk.5:13: “And He let them [demonic spirits and the unclean spirits], and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand swine rushed down a steep bank into the sea where they were drowned.” (The herding of swine indicates that Gentiles resided in the territory of the Gerasenes.)

Mk.10:4-5: “Moses permitted him to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her. Moses wrote this because of the hardness of your hearts.” ***

Old Testament: Taking a larger “bird’s eye” view of God’s relationship with man, one can claim that God was viewing the people of the Old Testament like adolescents, LOWERING THE BAR in their moral conduct.

***New Testament: Jesus RAISES THE BAR in moral conduct in referring back to God’s intended design for marriage. Jesus says to the people of the New Testament, “You now need to act like grown-ups and act accordingly.” 

Jn.19:38: “Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate if he could remove Jesus’ body. And Pilate permitted it.”

Acts 21:39: “Paul said, ‘I am a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia; I request you permit me to speak to the people.” I [Paul] request you to permit me to speak to the people.'” (Saul was his Jewish name. Paul was his Roman name.)

Acts 28:16: “When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself [in prison] with the soldier who was guarding him.” (Paul was placed under a mild form of custody. He was allowed to proclaim the Word.)

1Cor.14:34: “As in all the churches of the holy ones, women should keep silent in the church, or they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.” (It must be acknowledged that this was a patriarchal society. Women speaking in public was considered an act of independence. Women conducted their activities separately and privately. This was part of the traditional view that a woman was to be subject to her husband.)

[Greek] τροπή (tropē), [Latin] trophaeum: a turning, trophy, revolution, or change; Jas 1:17

In 102 A.D. the Roman emperor Trajan erected the monument Trophaeum (Traiani) commemorating the victory (turning point) over the Dacians ===> trophy

Jas.1:17: “All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration) or shadow caused by change [turning].” (Unlike the heavenly bodies, God is immutably constant, good, and unchanging.)

The Vatican’s outreach to accommodate the LGBTQ community:

1. In their efforts of inclusion, the Vatican is making concerted efforts to destigmatize, to normalize, and to ignore the sinful nature of homosexuality.
2. There are also many clergy who engage in the homosexual lifestyle. This has been stated by Peter Kwasniewski, Fr. Joaquim Heimerl, among others.
3. In addition, many clergy often “pay lip-service” to Church teachings against homosexuality. This is an aspect of practical atheism (paying lip service to God).
4. Pope Francis and Pope Leo have made questionable appointments who have questioned Church teachings. (John Paul II Institute)
5. Yet, they continually overlook or ignore: Jesus’ command to SIN NO MORE (Jn.8:11): “Neither do I condemn you, Go and from now on do not sin any more.”
6. They also continually ignore that Jesus was called to come to sinners. BUT HE DID NOT TOLERATE SINFUL BEHAVIOR!
7. Jesus exercised true compassion based on God’s moral order.
8. Pope Francis never intended to clamp down on the German bishops’ teachings on homosexuality and gender.
9. In an effort to accommodate the German bishops, the Vatican issued Fiducia Supplicans. This document deviously stated both Church teachings against homosexuality and provided “non-liturgical blessings” or a sinful same-sex union.
10. Fr. James Martin actually believes that St. Paul got it wrong about the sinful nature of homosexuality. Let that sink in! 
11. The Vatican recently permitted its Vatican LGBTQ Jubilee. Not surprisingly, scandal followed.
12. Why was Pope Leo silent about this? BECAUSE POPE LEO ALLOWED BISHOP SAVINO TO CELEBRATE THIS MASS! Evidently, it is not good optics to publicly criticize an event you will be had previously allowed.
13. A scandalous confirmation, led by Fr. James Martin was held in Manhattan New York. Evidently, Cardinal Dolan [fearful of offending the LGBTQ community] has remained quiet about this? Shocker!
14. Bishop Strickland pleaded with this brother bishops at the USCCB. Not surprisingly, his pleas were ignored. These bishops are evidently fearful or afraid in criticizing the LGBTQ community.
15. The USCCB just recently approved a “LGBTQ friendly” bible. This is seeking to whitewash or de-stigmatize the sin of homosexuality to make it more publicly acceptable.

Catholic psychiatrist Conrad Baars explains false compassion:

“A person in authority who deprives his subjects of the truth when he says, even with the best intention of helping them, ‘You may ignore the teachings of the Magisterium: God’s laws are too hard for you.’ By that he says in effect, ‘You are not and never will be strong and good enough to adhere to these laws.”  

Confusing tolerance with intolerance:

1. Tolerance is not a Christian virtue. It is never an end in itself [Archbishop Chaput]
2. Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to principles. [Archbishop Sheen]
3. Intolerance applies only principles, but never to persons. [Archbishop Sheen]
4. Tolerance is the ‘virtue’ of a man without convictions. [GK Chesterton]
5. Our society’s obsession with tolerance leads to intolerance. [Charles Colson]
6. The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes. [Rev. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange]
7. The enemies of the Church are tolerant in principle because they do not believe. [Rev. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange]

Jesus’ teachings of tolerance?? (This is a great fallacy!)

1. What does this even mean? Following Jesus is a binary choice. You either follow Him or you do NOT follow Him.
2. Jesus stated that if you choose to follow Him, you must sin no more. Jesus is BEING INTOLERANT in saying, “Sin no more.” (Jn.8:11)
3. Jesus associated with sinners, but He DOES NOT tolerate their sinful lifestyles and sinfulness.
4. Jesus stated that if you DO NOT follow Him, you are walking in darkness (Jn.8:12). Jesus is not being tolerant when He said this.
5. Jesus is infinitely merciful to us. But conversion requires repentance and conversion of heart.
6. Many people are get confused about what tolerance and intolerance means.

Traditional Catholic view: Men’s and women’s vocations are assigned by God and the Church. Men ==> priests [in the person of Christ] and deacons. Women ==> nuns, sister, consecrated

Synodal (a human and political view):

1. Vocations are often defined by one’s perceived rights and political power.
2. Therefore, there must be equal gender equality in Church leadership positions.
3. Women should have the opportunity to become priests and deacons.
4. Men’s and women’s vocations can be assigned by man. (The German Synodal Church already seek to do this.)
5. If this cannot be possible, then many may wonder if the Church is misogynistic??
6. The Synod is still studying the idea of women deacons. Let that sink in! But THIS IS NOT CATHOLIC!

‎Trope: This is a figure of speech used for artistic effect.  Ex. Achilles’ heal ==> weak spot

Conclusion:

Permit, permission, admit, admission, mission, catapult, exit, sort, part, dispense, reject, rejection, sortie, resort, trophy

It was commonly thought that the gods controlled one’s fate and destiny.

Update: George Orwell: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” It is important not to allow others to deny and obliterate one’s understanding of our country. Orwell was very prophetic about hate speech, cancel culture, and others’ naive understanding of history.

Many people, Christians and non-Christians, who do not accept or tolerate others’ values (and behaviors), are now the ones being intolerant, hateful, and extreme. (Those who accuse others of being intolerant are actually the ones who are being intolerant! (like those criticizing American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney)

Arkansas Gov. Huckabee was just recently forced out from a restaurant because the LGBTQ restaurant managers “felt unsafe” [were intolerant to Gov. Huckabee].

In Germany, a Catholic priest was put on trial for hate speech because he condemned homosexuality (which is actual Church teachings!). It seems that the German clergy are really now promoting homosexuality as an acceptable behavior. Very alarming!

Pope Leo, has endorsed Pope Francis’ Amoris Laetitia. Reducing and watering down liturgical requirements for marriage and family [for the sake of inclusion and tolerance] TAKE PRECEDENCE over Church teachings. This Synodality becoming an IDOL!

The Save America Act: Democrats continue to oppose this bill because they will not allow for illegals to stop voting in elections. The Democrats continue to say that this is Jim Crow 2.0

The Vatican (and Synodal Church’s LGBTQ “outreach”: “You in the LGBTQ community are not and never will be strong and good enough to adhere to these Church teachings. You can get a pass.” (Is this message being disseminated to the LGBTQ community? It seems so.)

The UK House of Lord has just legalized abortion up to birth, allowing for the right the end the life of the unborn without any consequences. Evidently women’s “rights” now take precedence over the unborn’s rights.

German bishop Hemer Wilmer is waiting for the “Holy Spirit of Surprises” to allow for women’s ordination in the Church. This is a dangerous immoral and evil cultural appropriation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can only stand for Truth!

Former ‘hot priest” Alberto Ravagnani leaves the priesthood because he cannot accept celibacy. Shocker! He shouldn’t have been allowed in the priesthood in the first place when he has such a poor understanding of the priesthood and celibacy.

Synodality, becoming a new religion in “MAKING A BETTER WORLD/SEEKING FAVOR WITH THE WORLD’  is essentially LOWERING THE BAR to adherence to Catholic teaching. 

If you assume that Catholics and Christians are intolerant, hateful, and extreme, they get their moral belief systems from God. Then one must conclude that God MUST BE INTOLERANT, HATEFUL, AND EXTREME! (Good luck with supporting this view!)

We now need leaders and shepherds who show TRUE COMPASSION in pointing out what is morally right and wrong. Otherwise, one’s eternal (spiritual) welfare could be at stake!

Quotes by GK Chesterton who has often be called the “apostle of common sense”:

Quotes on tolerance:

“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

“America [and other places] are suffering from tolerance: tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.” Bishop Fulton Sheen

“Societies are far gone in depravity when toleration is considered a good in itself, without regard to the thing tolerated.” GK Chesterton
