One sees yet another story like this and asks oneself: Is there really NOTHING they will leave alone without trying to befoul, besmirch, distort, and\/or destroy it? And the answer comes back: No. No, there most certainly is NOT.<\/p>\n
\n\u2018The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power\u2019 Season 2 Will Feature Sauron And Galadriel Romance And Also Seemingly Features An LGBTQ Character<\/a><\/strong>
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2<\/em> will continue its assault on J.R.R. Tolkien and his work with actor Charlie Vickers and showrunner Patrick McKay confirming that it will feature a romance between Galadriel and Sauron. McKay also seemingly confirmed the show features LGBTQ+ characters as well.<\/p>\nTo be clear, Galadriel never had any kind of romantic relationship with Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s legendarium given she was married to Celeborn. In The Silmarillion<\/em>, Tolkien wrote, \u201cA queen she was of the woodland Elves, the wife of Celeborn of Doriath, yet she herself was of the Noldor and remembered the Day before days in Valinor, and she was the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he made it clear that Galadriel was Sauron\u2019s \u201cchief adversary and obstacle\u201d during the Second Age in Eregion. He wrote in Unfinished Tales<\/em>, \u201cIn Eregion Sauron posed as an emissary of the Valar, sent by them to Middle-earth (\u201cthus anticipating the Istari\u201d) or ordered by them to remain there to give aid to the Elves. He perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavoured therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is anathema to Tolkien who made it clear that The Lord of the Rings<\/em> was a \u201cfundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision\u201d in Letter 142 to Father Robert Murray SJ.<\/p>\n
The Catholic church is very clear on homosexuality. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, \u201cBasing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that \u2018homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.\u2019 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
