Confession! Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy [the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation]. There the greatest miracles take place (and) are incessantly repeated. To avail oneself of this miracle, it is not necessary to go on a great pilgrimage or to carry out some external ceremony; it suffices to come with faith to the feet of My representative and to reveal to him one's misery and the miracle of Divine Mercy will be fully demonstrated... Oh, how miserable are those who do not take advantage of the miracle of God's mercy! [They] will call out in vain but it will be too late. (Diary of St. Faustina, n. 1448.)

DNC SPEAKERS QUIET ON RADICAL LGBT POLICIES
Bill Donohue Catalyst Magazine Aug 22 2024

here is just a brief summary of what the Biden-Harris administration has done:

On the first day of the Biden-Harris administration, it implemented an executive order allowing boys into the girls restrooms and locker rooms and to compete in girls sports.
The Biden-Harris administration has rolled back religious liberty protections for medical providers compelling them to provide “gender affirming care.”
The Biden-Harris administration has routinely championed the Equality Act. This act would effectively gut religious liberty protections and eviscerate women’s sports and other legal protections. It would compel Catholic Hospitals to provide “gender affirming care.”
The Biden-Harris administration adopted a rule that if foster parents refused to support “gender affirming care” they would have their children taken from them.
The Biden-Harris administration regularly condemned states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee for defending parental rights and protecting children from mutilation in the name of “gender affirming care.”
The Biden-Harris administration sought an appeal to mandate that Catholic doctors and hospitals would have to provide “gender-transition” surgeries.

Bill Donohue The 2024 Democratic platform notes, "For generations, LGBTQI+ Americans have summoned the courage to live authentically and proudly, even when it meant putting their lives and livelihoods at risk." However, it seems the speakers at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) could not

WHY BE CHASTE?
A Catholic Summary
1 Cor. 6:9: ...neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers... will inherit the kingdom of God.
Mark 7:21: [Jesus said] ...out of the heart come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder... All these evil things come from within, and... defile a man.
From the Church's 1974 Declaration on Sexual Ethics: “The use of the sexual function has its... moral rightness only in true marriage...The moral order of sexuality involves such high values of human life that every direct violation of this order is objectively serious.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church: "Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes." (CCC 2351) [unitive=marital]
St. Thomas Aquinas: "...when kisses and caresses are done for [sexual pleasure] it follows that they are mortal sins.
Matt. 5:28: “[Jesus said] I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” [So it is possible to sin seriously mentally.]
(CCC 2347) The virtue of chastity blossoms in friendship. It shows the disciple how to follow and imitate him who has chosen us as his friends, who has given himself totally to us and allows us to participate in his divine estate. Chastity is a promise of immortality.
(CCC 2348) ...All Christ's faithful are called to lead a chaste life in keeping with their particular states of life.
(Pope St. John Paul II, Love and Responsibility, p. 172) “Chastity is a difficult, long-term matter; one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit, for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring... chastity is the sure way to happiness.”
Chastity is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Fruits appear last on a tree. Chastity will blossom & be sustained only with a super-strong prayer life in this over-sexed world!
