Against Homosexuality – Teachings of the Church of Christ
Against the sins of homosexuality (sodomy) the Church has always taught. With Scripture, Tradition and Reason, it is evident that homosexuality is a grave sin that cries to heaven for justice. Lumped together with that detestable act, are bestiality, pedophilia, incest and all unnatural sexual lusts and acts. As Christians we must reject sodomy as a gross sin (like rape, murder, thievery, etc) and do all we can to pray for and guide the erring to justice and virtuous living. Thus we love one another.
Included in the video are 3 paintings of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with Lot leaving the city. The two songs are a Byzantine Chant “Communion Verse” and Gregorian Chant “Os Iusti”.

Against Abortion – Teachings of the Church of Christ
The Catholic Church, i.e. Church of Christ, has always held abortion at all stages to be the destruction of an innocent life. Long before science had “proven” it, the Church saw that life truly began at the moment of conception. Because it is a full person, he/she is to be protected from conception. I used various authorities of Scripture, Tradition and Canon Law to reaffirm that ALL CHRISTIANS MUST REJECT ABORTION. To support it, to have one, or to perform one is a heinous abomination.
The song in the background is the Illatio from the Mozarabic Rite Liturgy.

Jul 1 – Homily – Touch of Jesus More Golden than Midas’
Fr. Tito uses the story of Midas’ Golden Touch to preach on the significance of the Gospel account of the healing of the daughter of the Synagogue leader and the afflicted woman. Both were healed at the touch of Jesus. By the old law he would have contracted a curse by touching someone unclean or dead, but instead he gives out a miraculous blessing of curing and Resurrection that is more valuable than Gold and exemplifies the grace that gives eternal life.

Достойно есть, Axion Estin, It Is Truly Right – Byzantine Chant
This is the same hymn as my previous video. The difference is, that the previous video was the Greek version and this one is Slavonic. There follows the Slavonic lyrics, the English phonetic, and the English rough translation:
Достойно есть, яко воистинну,
блажити Тя, Богородицу,
присноблаженную и пренепорочную,
и Матерь Бога нашего.
Честнѣйшую Херувимъ
и славнѣйшую безъ сравненія Серафимъ,
безъ истлѣнія Бога Слова рождшую,
сущую Богородицу Тя величаемъ.
Dostoĭno yestʹ , yako voistinnu ,
blazhiti Tya , Bogoroditsu ,
prisnoblazhennuyu i preneporochnuyu ,
i Materʹ Boga nashego .
Chestnѣĭshuyu Kheruvimʺ
i slavnѣĭshuyu bezʺ sravneníya Serafimʺ ,
bezʺ istlѣníya Boga Slova rozhdshuyu ,
sushchuyu Bogoroditsu Tya velichaemʺ .
It is truly right to bless thee, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the cherubim,
and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim.
Without corruption thou gavest birth to God the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.

Axion Estin, Άξιον εστίν, Достóйно éсть – Byzantine Chant
This Marian hymn of praise is found in the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the conclusion of the Anaphora. It is sung at Matins, Compline, and other services as well. The Phonetic, Greek and rough English Translation follow:
English Phonetic:
Áxion estín o̱s ali̱thó̱s makarízein se ti̱n Theotókon,
ti̱n aeimakáriston kai panamó̱mi̱ton kai mi̱téra tou Theoú i̱mó̱n.
Ti̱n timio̱téran to̱n Cherouveím kai endoxotéran asynkríto̱s to̱n Serafeím
ti̱n adiafthóro̱s Theón Lógon tekoúsan, ti̱n ónto̱s Theotókon,
Se megalýnomen.
Greek:
Άξιον εστίν ως αληθώς μακαρίζειν σε την Θεοτόκον,
την αειμακάριστον και παναμώμητον και μητέρα του Θεού ημών.
Την τιμιωτέραν των Χερουβείμ και ενδοξοτέραν ασυγκρίτως των Σεραφείμ
την αδιαφθόρως Θεόν Λόγον τεκούσαν,
την όντως Θεοτόκον,
Σε μεγαλύνομεν.
English:
It is truly right to bless thee, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim.
Without corruption thou gavest birth to God the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.
