Poland threatens to build a civilization of death, which in its long pontificate was exposed and described by St.John Paul II. The civilization of death is nothing but an effort at the final implementation of the false order of the "prince of this world." There are no shortage of politicians present who, erstwhile applying for the highest office in the Republic of Poland, officially declare as applicants for the position of 1 of the “ministers of Satan”.
Abortion, in vitro, euthanasia, but besides hitting the basic rights of the family, or the anointing anti-natalist propaganda – all the main components of the civilization of death, the social construct, which is directed at the complete elimination of God from public life. As part of the civilization of death, there is no place to admit human dignity as God's creation. Man has only the same value as he himself; and this means that those who are considered unfit for specified an act of "self-determination of humanity" are treated as a lump of substance which others can dispose of at their own discretion.
Pope Wojtyła pointed out that the civilization of death has a incorrect knowing of freedom at its foundation. In the encyclical Veritatis splendor, he wrote: “Freedom, which is considered absolute, leads to the treatment of the body of man as a natural material, devoid of meaning and moral values, until it forms it according to its own purpose. Consequently, human nature and the body appear to be preliminary data or premises for choices made by freedom, materially essential but external to the person, to the subject and to human action."
The human body as a natural material without meanings and moral values – it is indeed credo utilitarian modernity. The human body as specified is regarded as a specified material object; a higher quality can only be gained if it is given to it by a decision of the will of a "person." However, the “person” is not all man, but only 1 who is able to “determine” himself in being a man.
Killing on an industrial scale
People who are not "persons" are treated solely in terms of "useful" — either service the interest of "people", or do not service and may be destroyed.
Therefore, abortion is possible in the civilization of death. Children conceived in utilitarian terms have no personality: they are human in a biological sense, but biology itself does not let them to gain any dignity. Dignity, and so value, are only obtained in a mediated way, through the will of their "owners."
As a rule, the owner of the conceived kid is the mother. That is why it is usually her that decides whether she will give birth and introduce to her “getting” her own personality, and in effect her dignity; or will this kid simply kill before his birth. If it chooses the latter, according to the existing utilitarian paradigm it does not kill a person-person at all, but a "human matter" that has no self-worth. By deciding to kill the child, the parent decides that “human matter” should never gain individual value.
Interestingly, in practice, it is not even the parent who is the actual decision maker. Surogative business has flourished in the planet for a long time. A kid can be ordered from a female in 1 of the poorest countries in the world. According to journalists investigating this activity, the contracting entities are sometimes dissatisfied with the ‘goods’ offered to them. In prenatal studies, for example, it appears that the ‘human matter’ developing in the womb of a surrogate has a sex another than that requested; or ‘human matter’ has illness features. The contracting authorities then urge that the kid be killed ("non-persons"). In specified a case, although it is formally the parent who decides to take life, the decision is actually made elsewhere – the real owners of the “human matter” in her womb are not herself, but those who paid for the pregnancy. Journalists say that it happens that a contract signed between a surrogate and procurers simply obliges a female to kill a kid if it does not meet the contractual assumptions. The human natural material was not forecast and is so intended for disposal.
Everything happens on the basis of a false paradigm of freedom. The parent kills the kid due to the fact that in this duet she is considered to be the only “person” and consequently to be “the ruler” of the full “biomatter” – both her own body and the kid body. In the case of surrogacy, the parent on the basis of a contract, theoretically signed in the act of free decision, cedifies the ownership of the child's "body matter" on the procurers, and they dispose of it as they wish, until the killing is complete.
The same is actual of "involuntary euthanasia". In 2 European countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, it is legally possible to kill sick newborns. If doctors and parents consider that their quality of life due to illness would be very low, they will be killed. The newborn in the utilitarian paradigm is not yet a "person", but a "human matter" – although it resides outside the womb, which makes it unfit for abortion, but due to the fact that it lacks the ability to consciously command its own body, it does not yet have personality, and hence it has no human dignity; it has no self-esteem. Hence, it becomes the subject of having parents who can decide to liquidate it. Here, too, a sick newborn becomes a ‘rawling’ which does not anticipate and can be disposed of as a result. If newborns are not killed in countries another than Belgium and the Netherlands, this is only due to the fact that there are not all consequences of the adopted utilitarian paradigm. Killing newborns is, however, completely consistent with this paradigm, which is why it can spread in the future. Moreover, there is nothing to prevent newborns from being killed even erstwhile they are healthy. After all, they are not yet “persons”.
Old and severely sick people are besides disposed of. In many countries of the world, they are legally euthanized. There is simply a law everywhere that says "voluntaryness." However, all intelligent man knows that in any cases it is simply fiction. If the suffering man is subject to appropriate propaganda, he makes a “decision” which is not a voluntary decision at all. He is willing to die under pressure; so we are dealing with intellectual extortion. due to his illness or age, he is regarded by society as a individual who controls his body in a defective way. He should be dead., seems the environment; in accordance with the utilitarian, economical public interest It'd be better if he wasn't here.. This message is wrapped in a communicative about avoiding suffering, and the sick “agree” to death.
Sometimes you don't look for that consent. A case is known from the Netherlands erstwhile a 74-year-old with dementia defended herself against giving her a lethal poison injection. She agreed to euthanasia a fewer years earlier; erstwhile the conviction was to be executed, she refused to surrender to it. However, it was considered that he was no longer a "person" due to dementia, so power over her body was taken over and a 74-year-old female was killed against her will. The ultimate Court found that legal procedures were followed.
“If on the 1 hand there is simply a “civilisation of love”, there is besides the anticipation of “anti-civilization” destructive, which unfortunately has become a very wide-ranging fact in our era,” wrote John Paul II in a letter to the families “Gratissima sane” from 1994. Over 31 years, this coverage has only increased – and will proceed to increase, unless decisions are made at political level to take a completely different direction. Unfortunately, that is not much today. Changes in the United States for Donald Trump's presidency are significant, but very limited. Although Republicans brand abortion, they are keen supporters of the in vitro procedure. They respect embryos as ‘human matter’ that can be disposed of freely. It's not a question of changing philosophy. In line with the paradigm in force in America today, it is possible to produce people, which are treated as natural material at the earliest phase of their existence. all change in the direction of God's order is good, hence it rejoices to depart from the promotion of abortion; but it is inactive not enough.
Importantly, the "civilization of death" if it is understood as a culture of utilizing the human body as a natural material goes beyond the question of killing people. The problem is far wider. In the same letter, Pope Wojtyła wrote: “Utilitarianism is simply a civilization of effect, of usage — a civilization of “things” alternatively than “people”; a civilization in which individuals become subject to use, just as things are used. So, according to usage civilization, a female is subject to man. Children become an obstacle to parents. The household becomes an institution limiting the freedom of its members. To find out, just look at any sexual education programs that are introduced in schools, frequently despite opposition and even protests from many parents." Therefore, in the position of death civilization, we should besides measure phenomena specified as educational programs promoted present by the majority of parliament in Poland. I will leave this here without further development, as we are limited by the time of the reader; however, we must remember the actual scope of our problems.
The Civilization of Death as a Civilization of Satan
God created man at the end of creation, in his image and likeness. That is why we say that man is “the crown of creation.” The Creator himself became a man in Jesus Christ. He who treats man as an object openly despises God’s creative act. Utilitarian materialism in relation to man is manifest nihilism—it speaks through him the desire to "return" God's work; the denial of human dignity, so emphatically emphasized by Incarnation. In this sense, utilitarian anthropological materialism is simply Satanism, and the full civilization of death, founded on it, is the civilization of Satan. It can so be said that the civilization of death, understood “perfectly”, is the right goal of the prince of this world. Those who introduce the laws of the civilization of death can so be called "the officials of the state of Satan."
It is understandable by itself that people fulfilling Satan's mission in the work of constitution his “order” cannot be treated as devout members of the Catholic Church. Therefore, those who apply their hand to the construction of the civilization of death, becoming “ministers of the devil”, cannot enter the sacraments. The Sacrament is simply a visible sign of invisible grace. This peculiarly applies to the Eucharist, a sign of unity with God himself. Satan’s servant by definition is not in union with God, so he cannot enter Holy Communion. Thus Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger rightly taught, excluding politicians supporting abortion from the Eucharist. In a letter sent in 2004 to Theodore McCarrick, then cardinal of the Catholic Church, he pointed out that political participation in the legalization of abortion, that is, in the constitution of the State of Satan, does not licence the acceptance of the Body of Christ.
On 18 May the first circular of presidential elections will be held in Poland. Poles will vote for a man who will represent the Republic of Poland on their behalf for the next 5 years. With an crucial choice besides from the position of the conflict between the civilization of life and the civilization of death. It would be good if the highest political typical of the Polish nation wanted to give his strength to build a civilization of life, i.e. to constitute in Poland the order that will be acceptable to God himself. Unfortunately, respective candidates in these elections openly admit that they do not want to. For example, Rafał Trzaskowski, Magdalena Biejat or Adrian Zandberg announce that they will make efforts to legalize the killing of unborn children in Poland or to take control of children's education by promoting alleged sexual education. In this sense, both Trzaskowski, Biejat and Zandberg present themselves as applicants for the position of “ministers of the devil”. Voting for individual who wants to be an authoritative of the state of Satan is not the right choice for a Catholic. It is so essential to vote for this candidate who declares his service to the State of God. There are at least a fewer specified candidates to name Karol Nawrocki, Sławomir Mentzen, Grzegorz Braun or Mark Jakubiak. It remains a substance of political and civic discretion for each of the voters to measure which candidate is the most reliable in these declarations, taking into account, of course, besides another elements of the programme and the form and nature of the political background of each of them, as the presidency in the Republic of Poland is not limited to making decisions on moral issues, nevertheless fundamental they are.
‘For death God has not made and rejoices not in the demolition of the living. For he created all things to be [...]. [D]la immortality God created man — made him an image of his own eternity. And death entered into the planet by the envy of the devil, and it is experienced by those who belong to him" (Mrs 1: 13-14; 2: 23-24). John Paul II in the 1995 encyclical "Evangelium vitae" recalled this teaching of the Scriptures. Remembering the large commitment of Pope Pole to the promotion of the Gospel of Life, let us join God's work in all areas of our lives – privately and publicly. May the memory of human dignity, perfectly revealed by the Incarnation of Jesus Christ himself, always guide us, so that we may confess before the justice that we have devoted our full life to the fulfilment of God's order.
