Correcting His Record - A Revered Prophet's Theological Wisdom

In a nutshell, I offer these forgotten words from our esteemed fallen brother -- the ordained prophet* and nonviolent crusader for social justice and freedom -- The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (On August 28, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" sermon on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to a crowd estimated at 250,000.)

He has since had his civil rights movement hijacked and misappropriated by the liberal left wing gays who are hell bent on imposing their secular modernist agenda on society. Therefore it would be good to also remember these words from the wise Rev. Dr. within that letter to his critical brother clergy of various Christian persuasians. ("Letter from a Birmington Jail", 16 April 1963) "....An unjust law violates the moral law or Law of God..." Therein he correctly and wisely defines a just law (such as that which our current USA President proposes) as being in concert as those defined by Saints Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine as being, "a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the Law of God... rooted in eternal law and natural law."

So this blog goes out to those "progressive and libertarian" clergy who would try to argue the principle of "the separation of Church and State" (sic) against our President of the United States who has taken the moral and ethical high ground in defending the sanctity of life and marriage. They would have our elected leaders butt out of preserving our American ethos.

....Which goes further to show that now we can better trust many non-Catholics to strongly defend our Christian/Judeo principles. (Certain Democrats heading the biggest liberal ticket in our national history -- just like particular clergy -- are "catholic" in name only.)

"The Church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If The Church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."

* Indeed he was a prophet. Bringing closure to his mission, while sensing his impending death, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. prophetically made his LAST speech at the Mason Temple, the national headquarters of the Church of God in Christ, in Memphis, Tennessee on April 3 1968 -- the day before his murder:

"....We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I have been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind.

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now.

I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land.

I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
