Dear Demi




Demi Lovato has released her own brand of vibrator called the “Demi Wand.” The Rolling Stone reports that Lovato has decided to have her own brand to “(normalize) sexual needs:” “We have spent far too long pretending we are not sexual beings … We are all deserving of orgasms.”[1]

I would like to respond to this. And I thought I would be great to do this by writing an open letter to the pop star.

 

Dear Demi Lovato,

I believe there was never a time in history when society never thought of humans as "sexual beings" or people gifted by God with sexual faculties. Even the Bible itself bears witness to this fact. As Dr. Peter Kreeft I believe has said, "When God said 'be fruitful and multiply', I don't think He meant 'grow pineapples and invent calculators.'"

The only difference between the Biblical vision of sex and your vision is that for you, our sexual faculties are merely tools for one's own pleasures while for the Bible (and the Church), our sexual faculties enable us to practice self-gift, to give ourselves to others selflessly for the sake of love and life. Our creation as male and female is an invitation to make visible God's invisible power to give Himself to others for the sake of others; to exercise in our own bodies the act that is due to other persons, who should never be treated as objects that should be merely used.

Would you continue to promote this perverted view of sexuality, Demi, or would you allow God's grace to influence you and empower you to embrace this amazing, magnificent Biblical vision of Divine love and how it is stamped in our God-given bodies? Open your eyes, ma'am. The choice is yours. I will remember you in my prayers tonight.

In Christ Jesus,


Matthew Luis Delgado Antero

Wanna Make Things Right? Stop Prioritizing Justice

  Image by  Jill Wellington  from  Pixabay It seems to me that there is an intuitive sense within us fallen human beings to prioritize justice in a cold, blind sense before everything else. Yes, even before love or friendship, we aim to make sure that we are given our due and that people who have hurt us should be hurt as well, so that he or she can feel what we also felt. For instance, if we learn that a person we consider a friend is actually stabbing us in the back, the reasonable response seems to be to break the friendship apart and complain about this same friend to other people. This seems what is just in our eyes. And for us, as long as our sense of blind justice is preserved, all will be well. But for Christ, making things right does not mean prioritizing justice in the retributive sense of the word. Rather, for Him, justice is merely secondary to gratuitous, no-holds-barred Divine Mercy. Mercy always and everywhere is primary. Only when Mercy precedes justi...

Squid Game and Catholic Social Teaching

  Note: This blogpost originally was written as a Facebook post in my page last October 22, Matthew's Intellectual Mosh Pit  here  . Have you ever felt before that, as you are searching into something, God is there helping you by revealing things about that thing EXPLICITLY? That's how I feel as I study Catholic Social Teaching (CST) now. It's so silly, I've been diving deep into CST for the past 3 weeks, specifically on the Church and its relationship to economic systems, and then videos like this show up. I'm convinced that God is indeed at work and is watching over me as I study the said subject matter.      First, a few days ago, I was doing something (I don't remember exactly) and then realize that an episode of a Filipino hit show, Pepito Manaloto, was playing on our TV. Specifically, it was the episode where Mimi (the character played by Nova Villa), after being elected as the home owner’s president (?), decided to let the security guards of...

The episcopal throne in Washington is officially vacant. The Holy Father Francis has officially accepted the resignation of Cardinal Donald Wuerl as the Archbishop of Washington. Although he will still act in an administrative role in the Archdiocese, legally, he's no longer the head of the local church of Washington ( Here and Here .) 3 hours before I write this post, Wuerl already tweeted on the matter . -Matthew Luis Antero
