The Global Ethic

Below is 2 February newletter (No.190) of the International Observatory Cardinal Van Thuan. Archbishop Tlhagale presents a clear statement of the dogma of the "vision" of the West's dominant political class. This is the vision that President Obama, the PC-class Messiah, has surreptitiously based his policy development on.

It could not be more telling that one of the first of Obama's presidential orders was the withdrawal of the ban on international aid money going to organisations set up to kill the unborn child. This was a monstrous decision both in terms of Obama's now evident campaign deceit and the death sentence for millions of children. (See additions to commentaries)

THE GLOBAL ETHIC

A CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCHES

Archbishop Buti Tlhagale OMI

Archbishop of Johannesburg 2

Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference.

January 2009 Plenary Session.

Presidential Address

[…] Perhaps this is the most contentious, most divisive subject in both church and society. The subject is as much religious as it is political. It is the global post modern ethic that puts great value on differences. It underscores the diversity of choices and sexual diversity. Different sexual orientations are ‘celebrated’. Post modernity maintains that reality is a social construct, that truth is what you make of it. There is no objective truth. It further asserts that reality is a text to be interpreted and your interpretation is as valid as that of the next person. Effectively, the authority of the Word of God has been turned on its head. God himself has been knocked off the pedestal. It is man and women who reign supreme. Transcendence has become fictional. The individual has become the creator, free to shape his or her own destiny. The individual is the Yardstick. Natural law is seen as an integral part of ancient explanations or mythologies. A whole new vocabulary and concepts have been produced by the postmodern global ethic. These are also in part the Judeo Christian teachings and values. The ‘right to choose’ is touted as the fundamental norm, the principle of non-discrimination. One can freely choose bisexuality, homosexuality, lesbianism, heterosexuality. Children now have the right to choose abortion irrespective of their parent’s beliefs. They too have equal rights. Euthanasia, the campaigners assert, is an expression of the right to choose and that it also affirms the dignity of the individual. Reproductive health means the right not to reproduce. It means safe abortion. It means unrestricted access to contraceptives. It was the 1995 Beijing conference that jettisoned the complementarity of man and woman. The goal is to achieve an a-sexual society, a society free of sexual labels. The Cairo Conference spoke of family under all its forms in order to include families of same sex parents. There is a concerted effort to eliminate word such as ‘virginity, chastity, spouse, husband, wife, marriage’ etc. If I may add, both the Maputo Protocol and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) intended to legalise abortions and to legitimise in-vitro fertilization in most African Countries. Such legislation will make it possible to poach ovarian human eggs from African women. Harvesting ovarian human eggs in Africa will help meet the needs of embryonic stem cell research in industrialised countries. It is illegal to use British eggs in Great Britain. Biological colonialism is on our doorstep.
