A few days after the Irish peoples' referendum to allow so-called marriage between sodomites and lesbians, Raymond Cardinal Burke remarked that even the pagans of old who tolerated sodomy did not stoop to calling it "marriage." The Cardinal is correct and those such as a former Catholic Canadian journalist that say "Jesus never spoke of homosexuality" are wrong. Jesus spoke to the Jewish people and they knew what sodomy was and they did not practice it and those that did, were put to death. He did not need to preach about it. St. Paul who preached to the pagans said much because they practiced it. As to the journalist, since Jesus is God the Son incarnate and he was begotten and not made, then He was there when the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets and he was the Word in the Burning Bush that appeared to Moses, so we know where He stood.The Cardinal is correct because the whole pagan world, Greeks, Romans, Celts and Druids all practiced sodomy and with young boys especially. This is historical fact. The snakes chased out of Ireland were not literal snakes, it is metaphorical. St. Patrick found sodomy rife amongst the Druid and Celtic pagans.
Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness has commented on the rightness of Cardinal Burke's statement juxtaposed with the actual phrase "ideology of evil" used to describe sodomite and lesbian "marriage" by Saint John Paul II. He further highlights the "outburst of treachery" by Archbishop Eamon Martin.
The referendum merely reflected the debasement of the Irish mind. Ireland is now mission territory. For their cowardice, their treachery, their refusal to preach in season and out of season - the Irish hierarchy should resign. In his last book,"Identity and Remembrance", the late, now sainted Pope denounced same-sex "marriage" as an "ideology of evil". Not one word of this from the bishops.
Indeed, we had the most recent outburst of treachery from Archbishop Eamon Martin that the far more gentle words of Cardinal Burke were unacceptable. When will this Irish episcopal mercenary resign or be removed from Office? He is staining with his treacherous presence the office of his holy predecessors. These cowards have not even apologized before God for their failure.
I highly recommend you to these three posts by Barona.

Ireland has been betrayed by its bishop and priests. One can only conclude that they have lost the faith, if they ever indeed had it or that enough of them are simply caught up themselves in the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah which was not, as some would like to conclude, a lack of hospitality.
Gird your loins brothers and sisters. The battle is coming to us.
