Voris borrows the analogy of colored vases to illustrate his point that homosexuality isn't just a vase of a different color but rather a broken vase. Vases, clay vases, clay pots, clay vessels. Hmm. Calls to mind that verse from 2 Corinthians 4:7 about the treasure we have in earthen vessels, the power of which comes from God and not us.
We know the Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the Strong. Do you not think an Angel rides in the Whirlwind and directs this Storm?

Born This Way?
Michael Voris over at Church Militant.TV (also here) leaves few stones unturned. Below he addresses homosexuality and whether it can validly be claimed that there is a sexuality other than heterosexuality. This video is worth watching from the beginning, but if you're pressed for time, start watching at 2:14 as he develops the point that homosexuality is not another choice, but is disordered heterosexuality. (The presentation is original to him, but not the idea which is the position of the Catholic Church.) His argument also attends to the claim that homosexuals are "born that way" and so can't help their behavior. Were we to accept that view, then we would logically be led to accept, for example, that some people are just "born" wanting to have sex with children. That is, we would be led to acknowledge pedophilia as a permissible and normal sexual preference, just as many are demanding that we believe homosexuality is a normal sexual preference.
