+J.M.J.+ Fr. Michael Rodriguez's talk about the grave sins of abortion, contraception, homosexuality; what the Catholic Church teaches about these intrinsic mortal sins, and how they are a direct attack against God the Creator.
A brief summary: Contrary to some popularly voiced notions, the biggest problems facing the Catholic Church today (and consequently the world as well) are the need to restore right doctrine (truth), right morals (goodness) and right liturgy (man's absolute and primordial duty to worship God as God commands). With regard to right doctrine and morals, three of the gravest evils in the world today, which we need to combat with all our strength and energy, are the acceptance as "ok" of contraception, abortion, and homosexuality. Father explains why these are key issues that cannot be sufficiently emphasized today, especially since the truth which the Catholic Church must always teach is hardly known, explained, or defended (even amongst Catholics). As an example, Father summarizes the truth which the Church has always proclaimed regarding homosexuality. Although he provides just a few basic points on this matter, most Catholics would not be able to list or explain these points. That should be sufficient to convince us of the need to evangelize, catechize, and labor in charity with respect to these grave evils.
