Sermon of His Holiness Pope Jacobus I on 18th Dominica after Pentecost...in today's Gospel our Lord teaches His Church to follow His doctrine by Divine example, that the cure of the body must be always preceded by the cure of the soul, as the human soul is immortal and it is at utmost importance to procure, through the valid Sacraments, eternal salvation, than to cure the physical body of the maladies, which is all temporal and carnal, but that our Lord illustrated His Divine power on the cures he granted to the infirm people, but only to illustrate the power of God, and cure the souls of those who believed Him...and so must we, who remain, always believe that what God does promise, He will always perform, provide we will remain faithful to Him as true Catholic souls...
THEREFORE...there is no such thing as “compelling interest” of the secular authority of the state, as a binding principle of obligation of obedience imposed on the human conscience, and the term COMPELLING, of itself savors of nothing less but ambiguity, and also most importantly heresy, because then anything decided and agreed upon by the secular state could be named as compelling, even that which goes against the Law of God and the Law of His Church, the true Roman Catholic Church, the truly Divine Institution, but as all authority comes from God, there is no lawful binding authority in the hands of those who contradict in their laws the Divine and even Natural and Church Law, as all these come from the mind of the God Almighty, and can never be contradicted by human souls, by their own heretical inventions, which in most part deny charity toward God and their fellow men...and then, the sin of pride ensues, abuse of authority is the result, and evil diabolically imposed tyranny is the outcome...and God will repay, as vengeance belongs to Him !
