C-Fam: ‘The Devil is Behind the UN’s Letter to the Catholic Church’

In an open letter Austin Ruse, President of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute warned that the  Catholic church is being forced to tell people to accept teen sex and abortion and that “only the devil could tell children they have a right to sex and abortion.”

The reason, he said, was a recent UN letter to the Catholic church which called the church to task for its stance on abortion, church teaching on gays and clergy sex abuse.

He concluded, “We are fighting the Evil One himself. For who else could inspire adults to say children have a right to fornication, contraception and abortion? So, pray like there is no tomorrow. ”

Dear Friend,

This happened two days ago and I am still furious that a UN committee has the temerity to tell the Catholic Church that it has to get over its opposition to unmarried teen sex. And contraception. And abortion. And perhaps the most insulting part of this is the committee is called the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

This committee has basically said that children have a right under this treaty to have sex, to use condoms and to get abortions. And that Church opposition to this is a violation of human rights. Here is what we need to do. Tell everyone. Tell everyone we know that this has happened. Tell everyone that the pipsqueaks on a UN committee have told the Church that the Church must fall into line with a UN committee.

This Committee actually told the Church that its teaching on homosexuality has caused violence against the same-sex attracted. The committee told the Church that baby drop-boxes, you know those things where moms in distress can leave their babies and not kill them, are violations of the treaty. Yet the committee says its a human right to kill them.

WE MUST TELL EVERYONE WE KNOW. WE MUST SHOUT THIS FROM THE ROOFTOPS. THEY SIMPLY CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THIS.

Here is my solution. Let’s let them hear us. Let’s let them hear us loud and clear. Thousands of us. Hundreds of thousands of us. I want you to sign the Declaration in Support of the Holy See. Already more than 40,000 have signed and more than 4,000 groups have signed. Can we get that number to 100,000? Higher? I bet we can if we work together.

Here is where you sign the Declaration in Support of the Holy See: http://www.defendtheholysee.org

You say you aren’t Catholic? That is not a problem. Read the Declaration. You can see it is written in a way that people of all faiths and all denominations can sign. You are not endorsing the Church or its teachings, only the fact that the Holy See is a voice for the voiceless at the UN.

Go to http://www.defendtheholysee.org and sign your name, from any country in the world! And then, send this message to your mom and dad or your children and all of your friends. Send it to your Church group. Send it everywhere.

WE NEED TO TELL THESE UN COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

What will I do with these names? With other pro-life groups, we will present them at UN headquarters in New York and Geneva. We will present them to the Papal Nuncios at the UN in both cities and we will present them in Rome.

What these radicals need a good shaking that only 100,000 people can do. Please sign the Declaration in Support of the Holy See and send this message to everyone you know and even those you don’t!

Finally, I ask for your prayers. We are fighting more than people here. We are fighting the Evil One himself. For who else could inspire adults to say children have a right to fornication, contraception and abortion? So, pray like there is no tomorrow. And get all your friends to sign the Declaration.

Yours sincerely,

Austin Ruse

Satan in 2014: Bigger, Badder and More Gay

Between using Miley Cyrus to teach young girls demonic sex rites to trying to outlaw Christianity and murdering God-fearing Christians, 2013 turned out to be a busy year for Satan.  Yet, not to be outdone, during the first weeks of the 2014, Satan has been hard at work, launching a sinister war on America and her youth with the help of the Obamas, pop stars and implanted lies.

Here are three ways 2014 is already turning out to be a bigger, better and gayer year for the Dark Lord (at least according to the Religious Right).

Using the Obamas and Same Sex Marriage to Corrupt the Minds of Innocent Children

Americans For Truth About Homosexuality head Peter LaBarbera says that the Obama’s White House is behind an “evil movement” spearheaded by Satan that “corrupts the minds and the souls of young children.”

During a Jan. 2 interview, he accused the Obama White House of celebrating homosexuality and imposing the evil, marriage equality platform on the nation to destroy American youth.

“The homosexual so-called marriage movement has become a huge platform to corrupt children,” he told Eliason during the VCY show.

He also made it clear that the evil plot comes from Satan and the sinister savant is behind the scenes, orchestrating the gay agenda and convincing people they are really gay or transgender through feelings.

“I’ll tell you what Vic, Satan really works through feelings, doesn’t he?” he said, warning others to avoid those Satanic emotions to an instead embrace an unfeeling, straight life.

“Life is not what you feel,” he advised. “If every married couple acted on their given feelings day-to-day we would have a lot more divorces in this culture, wouldn’t we? Feelings do not determine truth.”

Implanting People Who Are Transgender with Lies

Like LaBarbara, right-wing pastor Bryan Fischer accused Satan of being behind persons who are transgender and their calls for inclusion and acceptance.  For Fischer, however, Satan is not working through feelings, but lies implanted in people to force them to turn away from scriptural truths and the gender God gave them.

On Jan. 16, Fischer explained to his radio audience that persons who are transgender have embraced the lies Satan has implanted in their heads. This confusion forced on them by the Dark Lord makes them reject the “the truth that we find in the Scriptures, that you are either male or female.”

He concluded that persons who are transgender need to simply exorcise the satanic thoughts through prayer and “they will be free of their gender confusion,” and more able to embrace the “scientific facts” of their gender assigned to them by DNA.

Launching Demonic Attack in America Using ‘Witches’ Like Madonna and Nikki Minaj

According to right-winger Rick Wiles a “deadly cabal of Illuminati, Freemasons, and Communists … have infiltrated the U.S. leadership and brainwashed our children.”

The all-out war, as it turns out, has been going on since 2012 when Satan used pop stars to launch his D-Day (Demonic Day) attack.

“2012 started with witches conducting nationally televised occult rituals to announce the D-Day invasion,” Wiles told listeners during a Jan.10 radio broadcast. “I’m referring to the satanic performances of performers such as Nicki Minaj and Madonna on national TV programs in early 2012.”

Wiles also said if you look back, you will see that Satan is now reaping the benefits of the war he started two years ago.

“If you think back to the bizarre way 2012 started, you’ll see the makings of a full-scale military-style demonic attack on the body of Christ in this nation,” Wiles said, pointing out that 2012 also marked the re-election of “America’s illegal President.”

“Nothing like it has ever happened in the history of this country,” he further warned, encouraging America to join in the fight against Satan and sinister forces now in power in America.

Was Satan the Victor When a Snake-Handling Pastor Died from a Bite?

Jamie Coots was a man of devout faith who believed, as part of his worship experience, that he was called to handle poisonous snakes. As crazy as it sounds, snake-handling is an old Appalachian tradition that was born from the hard scrabble and fatalistic lives of the coal miners of the mountains.

Every day, coal miners worked in dank, dark, and dirty conditions where death was an ever-present reality. Living in company houses, working for ‘fake money’ that could only be used in the company store, and a continuous cycle of coal-grimed poverty was the powerless lives of the many of the first snake handlers.

Is it any surprise that they adapted their faith to a practice that helped them feel in control and full of the supernatural power of God?

Coots was well aware he had been handling poisonous and deadly snakes. He had already lost a finger to a previous bite. Yet, on the day he died, he picked up the snakes and risked everything again and when bit, went home to his couch instead of a hospital.

Does this mean Satan won? I don’t think so.  But to Jamie Coots, the devil was certainly real, and something that should not be heeded, even to the pain of death.

Satan’s butt song played for the first time

The 600 year old chant tattooed to the butt of a lost soul in Netherlandish painter Heironymous Bosch has been played for the first time (hopefully not unleashing a hellhole of fury or a plague of butt boils on the world).

The ditty, transcribed in the key of C by an eager college student, also got some fancy new lyrics thanks to the internet.

butt song from hell

this is the butt song from hell

we sing from our asses while burning in purgatory

You can listen to the tattooed butt song here.

Or look at the butt song tuches in context of the larger painting (it doesn’t get any less weird).

Will Smith’s Lucifer is the Suave Type: A 2014 Guide to Movie Satans

Will Smith’s uncredited  appearance in Winter Tale as a t-shirt wearing, basement-dwelling Prince of Darkness has caused a lot of buzz.  Not only is the former Fresh Prince a charmer, but, except for the fact his job entails passing judgement on the forces of evil, he could easily blend into the hipster crowd at the local coffee shop (although being pure evil, I am sure he would not bring a reusable cup).

According to Vulture, this suave, sexy Satan that could easily blend into New York City and corporate life is a common Satan archetype in movies.  Anna Silman describes as the suave type as follows:

Long before the Devil Wears Prada, the metaphor of devil-as-corporate-boss was given the most literal possible treatment in The Devil’s Advocate. In the 1997 film, Al Pacino plays a smooth-talking, charming lawyer who just happens to be prince of the underworld (although his menace here pales in comparison to his later turn as real-life evil lawyer Roy Cohn, in Angels in America). The Suave Devil, which gains its newest member with Will Smith’s performance in Winter’s Tale, exemplifies greed, charm, power, and good tailoring, and has become a popular way to portray Satan while simultaneously assailing the character of bankers and lawyers. Other Suave Devils you know: Gabriel Byrne as the devil inhabiting a Wall Street banker in End of Days; Robert De Niro as a dapper devil with a cane in Angel Heart; Peter Stormare in Constantine (which Goldsman also produced) as a devil whose snazzy all-white ensemble stays dry-cleaner spiffy even while plunging his hands into Keanu Reeves’s chest cavity.

Silman’s taxonomy of devils also breaks down other common devil types, including little devil, benign devils and classic flame dwellers.

Read more about Silman’s movie devil taxonomy here.

Or watch what may be the best movie portrayal of a Devil ever (which Silman dubs the mischievous type) when Jack Nicholson asks the good, church-going people of Eastwick, “Do you think God knew what he was doing when he created women?”
