“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

[1] Rome Moving Toward Full Acceptance of Homosexuality
Pope Francis has done more than any previous “pontiff” to move the Catholic Church toward full acceptance of homosexuality. On Dec. 18, the Vatican announced that the pope has formally approved letting Catholic priests bless same-sex couples, so long as it is “not tied to any specific Catholic celebration or religious service and should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union ceremony.” Rome still officially rejects same-sex marriage and condemns homosexual relations as “intrinsically disordered.” In 2013, in his first broadcast news conference, Pope Francis said, ‘Who am I to judge,” when asked about a homosexual priest. Earlier this year, the pope said it is permissible for transgender people to be baptized and to serve as godparents (“Step by step,” AP News, Dec. 19, 2023). All of this makes sense in light of the massive numbers of homosexual priests, as evidenced by the billions of dollars that the Catholic Church has paid to settle lawsuits pertaining to child molesting, which usually involves a priest and a male child or youth. Rome’s acceptance of homosexuality also makes sense in light of the Bible’s description of Mystery Babylon. “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication” (Revelation 17:4).

[2] Violent Pornography’s Vast Influence
The following is excerpted from Jonathan Van Maren, “Pornography is destroying childhood and changing sexual desire,” The Bridgehead, Nov. 14, 2023: “‘I]n a recent column for the Daily Mail, Holly Bourne [best-selling British author] details how ubiquitous porn use among young people is creating a toxic rape culture that makes life unbearable for teenage girls. The connection between pornography and sexual violence is a subject I have been reporting on in this space for nearly ten years, but the full reality of what it means to see a generation raised on a diet of sexual violence is still sickening to watch. … Bourne has been on the frontlines of youth culture, and what she saw scarred her so badly she experienced mental trauma as a result. … When I started giving presentations on this issue over a decade ago, choking as a sexual practice was unheard of. Now, it is normative. Why? Because pornography has served as sex education for an entire generation … Bourne says, ‘the widespread consumption of hardcore pornography is now a public health emergency.’ … We are going to find out what that impact is. So far, it is pretty gut-wrenching. … Broken marriages. An even further rise in sexual confusion and deviancy. That is why calling out this problem in clear terms is so important–and why we should consider not simply addressing porn as a public health crisis, but banning it entirely.” CONCLUSION: We have no reason to think that pornography is going to be banned in any meaningful way. Bible-believing people must do their own banning by wise parenting, by keeping smart phones away from young people, by filters, by accountability, and most of all by abiding in Christ and walking in the Spirit.
