There is an ancient proverb that says: whom the gods would destroy they first make mad (In Latin, “quos deus vult perdere, prius dementat”). The gods deprive them of reason, such that their foolish actions result in self-destruction. Put another way, evil appears as good in the minds of those whom God leads to destruction.
Well, that is what is happening in the world today, where there is so much egregious insanity. Consider the following (there are many others):
Transgenderism
Homosexuality has always been in the world, and has long been considered a mental disorder. But no longer. It is now accepted, mainstream and celebrated. Consider LGBT Pride. Those who oppose LGBT are considered haters and bigots.
Recently the focus has been on the “T” in LGBT. It refers to transgenders. They are those who deny their biological sex and identify as the other sex. Aside from claims that men can menstruate and chestfeed, and insistence on invading women’s spaces (rest rooms, beauty pageants, prisons), they have also horribly mutilated themselves.
Israel
Israel used to be the darling of the world, despite some opposition from Arab nations. What the Jews did in Palestine was to miraculously transform the desert into a productive land. The desert bloomed.
But Israel, under its Prime Minister Netanyahu, is currently warring on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, in what almost the whole world has called a genocide. Thousands have been killed, many of them innocent women and children. In addition, Israel has expanded its war beyond Gaza, to Lebanon and even Syria and Iran, conducting airstrikes that kill a lot of non-combatants. The whole region is now a powderkeg. There is even risk of triggering a nuclear World War III.
Almost the whole world is now against Israel, except for the US and a handful of other nations. It has been sanctioned many times by the UN, which it routinely ignores. Now Netanyahu has just been issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court.
Israel is insanely committing national suicide.
Ukraine war
Russia invaded Ukraine because the West and NATO pushed its boundaries eastward to the borders of Russia. The Cold War had already ended, and there should have been peace, with the attendant prosperity, in Europe with the participation of Russia. But the US and NATO insanely wanted to bring down Russia.
Now the war has gone badly for Ukraine, but NATO continues to arm it with deadly munitions. It seems the West is ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. The conflict is escalating, with Russia threatening to use nuclear weapons if necessary. The whole world is at risk of World War III.
This conflict can end very easily, if the West stops its military support for Ukraine. But its globalist elites and military-industrial complex do not want peace. They are insanely heading toward self-destruction.
Pope Francis
The Pope has issued many heretical teachings. He is a modernist who looks to the well-being of man but sacrifices the righteousness of God. Many Church teachings are being overturned, with the good becoming bad and the bad becoming good.
One particular aspect of his way of thinking is about the US elections, pitting Donald Trump against Kamala Harris. Trump favors the deportation of illegal migrants. Kamala favors abortion, making this the linchpin of her campaign. Now the Pope says he does not know which is the greater evil! Abortion is obviously extremely evil, while deportation of illegals is not (it is a right of nations to secure their territory).
On the spiritual realm, this stand of the Pope is insane. The whole world could be coming to an end. The insanity of peoples today almost assures it.
SALVE REGINA.
