Homelessness, Despondent Hand-Outs and the Cult of New Money

I live in an area of "extremes."

On the one hand, the Traditional Catholic population is an ever-present source of comfort and inspiration. From the Knights of Columbus (whose statue dots the St. Petersburg, FL Pier area . . .) to the Urban Assistance put on by the Catholic Church (the best in the area!), the Catholic Christian population in St. Petersburg has been and continues to be a "beacon" in a sin-stained world.

On the other hand, and contrary to Christian Teaching, are a growing number of "new money" homosexuals. The money flow that they have (augmented by not raising families of their own!) is tarnishing an otherwise beautiful area. Gay Pride days (two weeks ago) and men "flirting" with me in a grotesque, violating way, sadly, is the "new St. Petersburg" that I am now experiencing.

Sadly, along with Gay Pride days and Homosexual Sexual Harassment, also comes the equalling troubling problem of urban homelessness.

Gone are the days when families would "look after their own" and welcome in fellow brothers, sisters, children even. Now, if one is not 'part of the club,' it is "off to a homeless shelter" for an increasing number of Florida residents and transplants.

That's right, just as the 'breakdown of the nuclear family' has resulted in high divorce rates (and caused by them!), resulted in breakdown of normal heterosexual sexual identity (and caused by homosexual proliferation!), NOW, homelessness is becoming an increasing end result.

Destroy the family unit and 'guess what' people are often cast aside to the curb like a stray dog, and the only option is a homeless shelter.

Therefore, in addressing the problem of homelessness, rather than just giving a despondent 'hand-out' (both personally and also the welfare state that sucks hope dry), instead, let us JOIN TOGETHER in RE-BUILDING the AMERICAN FAMILY!
