Star Trek Evil Universe Is Right

On the 24th I put up a post on how the Main Stream Media covers the Catholic Church & how they think they know the mind of God than the Pope & the Catholic Church do. To be fair to the MSM, the reason they think they know the mind of God is because they think that they are not only the voice of God, but that they are God.
A couple days ago, Jeff Miller posted a piece that gives more proof of what I said in my post. In it he puts up part of a speech that Papa Benedetto gave on Monday to the Curia & then how the MSM (Reuters in particular) reported it. Compare the 2 & you will see what the Pope actually said & how the MSM rewrote it to promote their agenda. I like Jeff's title of his post, The media got their story from the bearded Spock universe. Anyone who is a Star Trek fan knows that the bearded Spock universe is the evil twin universe. If the MSM is actually from that universe, it would explain a lot.

What the Pope really said:

Since faith in the Creator is an essential part of the Christian Creed, the Church cannot and should not limit itself to transmitting to its faithful only the message of salvation. She has a responsibility for Creation, and it should validate this responsibility in public.
In so doing, it should defend not just the earth, water and air as gifts of Creation that belong to everyone. She should also protect man from destroying himself.
It is necessary to have something like an ecology of man, understood in the right sense. It is not outdated metaphysics when the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and asks that this natural order be respected.
This has to do with faith in the Creator and listening to the language of creation, which, if disregarded, would be man's self-destruction and therefore a destruction of God's work itself.
That which has come to be expressed and understood with the term 'gender' effectively results in man's self-emancipation from Creation (nature) and from the Creator. Man wants to do everything by himself and to decide always and exclusively about anything that concerns him personally. But this is to live against truth, to live against the Spirit Creator.
The tropical rain forests deserve our protection, yes, but man does not deserve it less as a Creature of the Spirit himself, in whom is inscribed a message that does not mean a contradiction of human freedom but its condition.
The great theologians of Scholasticism described matrimony - which is the lifelong bond between a man and a woman - as a sacrament of Creation, that the Creator himself instituted, and that Christ, without changing the message of Creation, welcomed in the story of his alliance with men.
Part of the announcement that the Church should bring to men is a testimonial for the Spirit Creator present in all of nature, but specially in the nature of man, who was created in the image of God.
One must reread the encyclical Humanae vitae with this perspective: the intention of Pope Paul VI was to defend love against consumer sex, the future against the exclusive claim of the moment, and human nature against manipulation.
Meanwhile, here is the MSM rewrite:
VATICAN CITY, Dec. 22 (Reuters) - Pope Benedict said on Monday that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behavior was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction.
"(The Church) should also protect man from the destruction of himself. A sort of ecology of man is needed," the Pontiff said in a holiday address to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration. [The Pope clearly says saving man 'from the destruction of himself', not from gays, nor saving 'gays' or homosexuals, or any other way of parsing his statement uncharitably and erroneously.(Added by Jeff)]
"The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less.
"The Catholic Church teaches that while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are. It opposes gay marriage and, in October, a leading Vatican official called homosexuality "a deviation, an irregularity, a wound."
The Pope said humanity needed to "listen to the language of creation" to understand the intended roles of man and woman. He compared behavior beyond traditional heterosexual relations as "a destruction of God's work."
He also defended the Church's right to "speak of human nature as man and woman, and ask that this order of creation be respected."
Here are Jeff's closing comments: "Got that. Defending marriage most beatifically is an attack on people who have same-sex attraction or gender confusion. The media has the charism of infallibility when it comes to reporting what the Pope did not say.
I can just imagine the typical reporter reading what the Pope said. First they would come across the comparison using ecology and think "darn, no headline there" and then come to the part on "between a man and a women" and the pink triangle alarm bells went off with them shouting "stop the presses!" or whatever term is used today.
"
I am sure that the MSM wasn't too happy with this line of the Pope's: "It is not outdated metaphysics when the Church speaks of the nature of the human being as man and woman, and asks that this natural order be respected." It goes right to the heart of what the "culture of death" & its MSM cheerleaders are doing. They are attacking God's natural order. But, they don'w want the light of truth to be shone on their actions. & this is exactly what Papa Benedetto is doing, shining God's light on their evil deeds. Any surprize that they will twist & misrepresent the Catholic Church's teachings to hide God's light under a bushel?
