It is important and wise to understand and appreciate 'this fact ' before venturing off to support any cause for a person or an organization sans any debate or the opposite- getting further into debate. It is essential to have a stronger sense of discernment fortified with prayer to understand and acknowledge what society is actually embattled with.
In the end it is important that we as a people, as a community, as a family, as parents and as individuals get to choose and filter that which society and media dictates on us dismissed as a form of expression or 'rights'. It is good to choose not by popular or common vote alone but based on what we now understand to be good or bad for us. It is important that we get to choose what our children or what we get exposed to. It is vital that we get to choose what we stand for- consciously and knowledgeably. We can only choose wisely if we know what we are truly up against. Parents are equipped with this instinct. This is how we teach our children to make right decisions. Think before you leap.
This is an advocacy for awareness before choosing and taking sides.
Let us, as a people, pray that we be strong and wise enough to know and rightfully guard our senses, against forces that come, seemingly in a fleeting way - to cause senseless division in order to conquer us. We are, after all, born better than that.

Thank you for this great post, we need more of such reminders more than ever. I think that people go for things just because they feel entertained, or they think they need something to laugh about after a challenging day, or they want to shift their minds into something different in order to relax, etc. They don´t bother much about source or original meaning of say, a name, a song, a whimsical expression, etc. The world is so polluted with demonic passion that even priests and Catholic institutions cannot determine whether they are doing something destructive to faith or not.
