Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. He has written a new letter which has appeared in the form of an interview with John-Henry Westen of Lifesitenews, who posed the questions to the archbishop, who answered in writing. The text is dated July 3, 2021, Feast of St. Irenaeus    Letter #42, Wednesday, June 30, 2021: Viganò    ”The Church’s immutable teaching… does not impose itself as a cruel castration of the tendencies and orientations of the human person… but rather as a loving and harmonious development of the individual towards the sole purpose that can completely fulfill him… to love, adore, and serve God, and so attain eternal beatitude in the glory of Paradise.” —Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, in a new interview in which he discusses the Church’s teaching with regard to human sexuality, written on July 3, 2021, and first published yesterday    ”It is a suicidal gesture in which the leaders of the Church surrender unconditionally to the antichristic ideology of globalism and hand over the entire flock of Christ as a hostage to the Enemy, abdicating their role as Pastors.” —Archbishop Viganò in the same interview, giving his judgment on the support given by Pope Francis and other Church leaders to the pastoral work of Fr. James Martin, S.J., best known for his outreach to the LGBT community (link). Pope Francis on June 21 sent a letter to Fr. Martin, commending him for his pastoral work (link), and the letter was made public and published worldwide. The archbishop expresses his view of Martin’s activity in these terms: “The activism of the Jesuit Martin foreshadows the rainbow ministry of the Age of Aquarius, the religion of the Antichrist, and the worship of idols and demons.”        ”I therefore find it outrageous towards God, scandalous for the honor of the Church, a matter of grave scandal for the faithful and a desolating abandonment for priests and confessors that a voice can be given to a Jesuit who bases his personal success not on proper pastoral action seeking the conversion of individual homosexuals with respect to Morality, but on the illusory promise of some change in Catholic doctrine that would legitimize people’s sinful behavior.” —Viganò, in the same interview    ***    Archbishop Viganò has released a new text on the issues facing the Church in our time, this time as answers to a series of questions posed to him by the editor of Lifesitenews, John-Henry Westen. The text is dated July 3, Feast of St. Irenaeus.    The interview was first published yesterday, July 8, by Lifesitenews, and the full text is also published here below.    Viganò’s central message is that, as a Catholic archbishop, he must teach the Church’s established doctrine in matters of faith and morals, and not teach that the doctrine is changeable, or can be changed, because this would be against the promise he made at the time of his ordination and consecration always to uphold the teaching.    Thus he writes: “Making him believe that by indulging the corrupt instincts of original sin and personal sins he can in some way fulfill himself far from God and against Him constitutes a culpable deception and a very grave responsibility on the part of those who abuse their role as Shepherds in order to delude the sheep and plunge them into the abyss.”    Viganò insists that the perennial teaching of the Church with regard to sexuality and sexual relations cannot and must not change, because it has been handed down from the beginning and because is in harmony with human nature and so adhering to this teaching offers the only chance for human happiness and blessedness.    He does stress, however, that it is also true that no one is free of sin, or free from the temptation to sin.    Thus Viganò writes: “The battle against one’s own nature corrupted by Original Sin unites us all: the one who manages money must fight against the temptation to steal, the one who is married must fight against the temptation to betray his or her spouse, the one who lives in chastity must fight against temptations against purity, the one who eats nice food must fight against the temptation to gluttony, and the one who is exposed to public applause must fight against the temptation to pride.”    In this sense, Viganò is making clear that he is not focusing on one sin only, but is attempting to offer pastoral direction for all who suffer from the fallen condition of human nature… that is, all of us.    But he is also making clear that he believes the effective, true way to offer this pastoral direction is not to teach that there is no sin, but rather to teach that the saving path toward blessedness lies in turning from sinand, through the forgiveness and grace of God, in setting out, ever again, on the difficult path toward holiness.    Here below is this new text by Archbishop Viganò in the question-and-answer format of an interview. Here is a link to the original publication (link).

VIRILITER AGITE [“Act Manfully”]“Viriliter agite, et confortetur cor vestrum.”“Act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened.”Psalm 30:25By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganòanswering questions posed byJohn-Henry Westen, editor of Lifesitenews
    What do you think of Pope Francis’s support for Father James Martin?    Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò:     The LGBTQ+ ideology and the gender theory that it presupposes as its postulate represent a mortal threat for our entire society, the family, the human person, and also obviously for the Church, because they dissolve the social body, relations between its members, and the very concept of the biological reality of the sexes, which is arbitrarily changed to each person’s questionable and variable subjective self-perception based on gender.    Many do not realize the chaos this will cause not only in civil and family habits but in religious ones as well, as soon as recognition of the LGBTQ+ movement inevitably leads to people with what may be defined as gender dysphoria demanding to be welcomed in parishes and communities.    An emblematic example could be the case of a man ordained as a priest who at a certain point believes that he identifies as a woman: should we prepare for the eventuality of seeing Mass celebrated by a trans-sexual or a transvestite?    And how can we reconcile the persistent existence of the male chromosome – which indefectibly defines the matter of the Sacrament of Holy Orders – with the appearances of a woman? What should we think about the case of a nun who, developing a male self-perception, demands to be transferred to a religious community of men and perhaps even to receive Holy Orders? This delusion, whose consequences are absurd and disturbing in the civil sphere, if applied to the religious sphere, would inflict a mortal blow on the already tortured ecclesial body.    We must consider the reasons that have led a personality like James Martin, S.J., to enjoy such notoriety and visibility in the ecclesial sphere and even in the Roman institutions, receiving an appointment as a Consultor of the Dicastery for Communications and recently being the recipient of a hand-written letter from Bergoglio.    His ostentatious commitment in support of the pan-sexualist movement effectively offers considered and acritical support for an unlimited series of sexual variations and perversions.    Such a priori adhesion is not the deplorable excess of a single Jesuit but represents the planned action of an ideological vanguard that has already proven to be uncontrollable and capable of orienting the very “Magisterium” of Bergoglio and his court.    The LGBTQ+ ideology constitutes the new moral paradigm of the globalist religion of the indistinct, which is of a clear Gnostic and Luciferian matrix.     The absence of supernaturally revealed dogmas serves as the premise of a post-human superdogma, in which Faith is perverted into an unconditional acceptance of every sort of heresy and depravity, Hope dissolves into the absurd claim of an already-guaranteed salvation hic et nunc, and Charity is corrupted into a horizontal solidarity deprived of its ultimate reference in God.    The activism of the Jesuit Martin foreshadows the rainbow ministry of the Age of Aquarius, the religion of the Antichrist, and the worship of idols and demons, beginning with the filthy Pachamama.    For this reason, the indecent and scandalous Bergoglian endorsement of the aberrant provocations of James Martin is only one more step down a path that started with his famous “Who am I to judge?” in perfect coherence with the line of “rupture” of this “pontificate.”    It is a suicidal gesture in which the leaders of the Church surrender unconditionally to the antichristic ideology of globalism and hand over the entire flock of Christ as a hostage to the Enemy, abdicating their role as Pastors and showing themselves for who they really are: mercenaries and traitors.    Scandalized, we are witnessing the transition from “argue, obsecra, increpa, insta opportune importune” – “reprove, entreat, rebuke, be instant in season and out of season” (2 Tim 4:2) – to “loquimini nobis placentia” – “speak unto us pleasant things” (Is 30:10).    It is therefore unsurprising that James Martin enjoys such appreciation in the highest spheres of the Vatican, which according to the methodology in force since Vatican II leaves a free hand to the most agitated exponents of progressive currents and then adopts the Hegelian dialectic between the thesis of natural and Catholic morality, the antithesis of doctrinal deviations, and the synthesis of a new magisterium in step with the times.    This way of proceeding, which may seem to some to be a prudent updating to the secularized mentality of our time, nevertheless reveals an abysmal betrayal of the teaching of Christ and the law impressed in man by his Creator.    A greater license in vice – largely desired and promoted by today’s dominant anti-Christian ideology – does not legitimize in any way this denial on the part of the Hierarchy of the command it has received from Our Lord, nor can it authorize operations of adulteration that aim solely at indulging the worldly spirit and the corruption of morals.    On the contrary, the more the mainstream pushes for a cancellation of the immutable principles of Catholic morality, the more pastors have the duty to raise their voice to reaffirm without hesitation what God has commanded them to preach.    I therefore find it outrageous towards God, scandalous for the honor of the Church, a matter of grave scandal for the faithful and a desolating abandonment for priests and confessors that a voice can be given to a Jesuit who bases his personal success not on proper pastoral action seeking the conversion of individual homosexuals with respect to Morality, but on the illusory promise of some change in Catholic doctrine that would legitimize people’s sinful behavior and grants the dignity of interlocutor to the so-called LGBTQ+ movements.    The mere use of this acronym, which supports people by identifying them mechanically in their specific sexual perversion against nature, demonstrates a prostration of James Martin and his collaborators to the demands of the pan-sexual lobby, which the Church cannot accept or legitimize in the least.    In any case, if a large part of the Clergy is so impatient to see the demands of LGBTQ+ ideology endorsed by the Hierarchy, this is clearly due to an execrable conflict of interest and a very deep moral and disciplinary crisis.    Is it possible to change the teaching of the Church with regard to homosexual unions, especially considering that Pope Francis has publicly approved civil unions, which in the past were condemned by magisterial documents of the Vatican?    Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: It must be made clear that behaviors against the Sixth Commandment of the Decalogue, especially those concerning sexual disorders that offend the Creator in the natural distinction of the sexes themselves and in the procreative purpose of the conjugal act, cannot be subjected to any updating, not even under pressure of power groups or iniquitous laws promulgated by the civil authority.    The hedonistic and pan-sexualist mentality that lies at the foundation of today’s dominant ideology, according to which the exercise of sexuality is not intrinsically ordered towards procreation but can have as its sole purpose the unregulated satisfaction of pleasure, should also be denounced without hesitation.    This vision is repugnant to the natural order willed by the Creator, which makes the sexual act lawful only in the union of spouses blessed by the Sacrament and open to conception.    It is evident that, since nature firstly does not make procreation between two men or two women possible, every form of sexuality between persons of the same sex is intrinsically disordered, and as such cannot be justified in any way.    Civil unions are nothing but forms of public legitimization of concubinage in which the couple does not assume the responsibilities and duties connected to the natural institution of marriage.    If the civil authority approves such unions, it abuses its own authority, which Providence has instituted within the very precise limits of the bonum commune and never in direct contradiction of the salus animarumwhich the Church watches over with Her maternal authority.    But if such unions are ratified by the ecclesiastical authority, the betrayal of the divine mandate is added to the perversion of the purpose for which the supreme Lawgiver willed it, rendering every even implicit form of official approval of sinful and scandalous behaviors de facto null and void.    There are many bishops in the United States who sign letters in support of indentification as LGBT and confirm this orientation, just as others – like Cardinal Cupich – suggest that homosexual couples can receive Holy Communion. What is your message to Catholics who may be bewildered by such pronouncements?    Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: The pseudo-magisterium of recent years, in particular that of Amoris Laetitia regarding the admission to the Sacraments of public concubinaries and divorcees, has opened a breach in that part of the Magisterium which even after Vatican II had been preserved from systematic demolition by the innovators.    It is therefore not surprising, even in its absolute gravity, that once people who are in the state of mortal sin have been admitted to Holy Communion, this unfortunate decision is then extended to people who do not have the capacity to contract legitimate marriages, since they are not a couple consisting of a man and a woman.    But on closer inspection, this heterodox vision also concerns politicians who in their action of governance and social commitment publicly contradict Catholic teaching and betray the commitment to coherence which they assumed with their Baptism and Confirmation.    On the other hand, so-called “adult Catholics” – who in the eyes of God are simply rebellious against His holy Law – find widespread approval among Bishops who are even more rebellious – like Cupich, Tobin, Gregory, and their followers, who are themselves unworthy of celebrating the Sacred Mysteries – while the Pastors who are faithful to the mandate conferred on them by Our Lord not only recognize their situation of public sin but also do not wish to aggravate it with the profanation of the Blessed Sacrament.    What is the essential and immutable teaching of the Church with regard to homosexuality?    Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: The Church, faithful to the teaching of her Head, is Mother and not stepmother: she does not indulge her children’s weaknesses and inclination to sin, but she admonishes them, exhorts them, and punishes them with medicinal sanctions in order to lead every soul to the purpose for which it has been created, that is, eternal beatitude.    Every soul, willed and loved by God, has been redeemed by the Redeemer on the Cross, for whom He has shed his very Blood: Cujus una stilla salvum facere totum mundum quit ab omni scelere. As we read in the Adoro te devote, composed by the Doctor Communis [that is, St. Thomas Aquinas] one single drop of the Most Precious Blood of Christ has the power to save the entire human race from all of its sins.    The Church’s immutable teaching is simple, crystalline, and inspired by the love of God and the love of neighbor for His sake. It does not impose itself as a cruel castration of the tendencies and orientations of the human person which it irrationally defends as legitimate, but rather as a loving and harmonious development of the individual towards the sole purpose that can completely fulfill him and that corresponds to the intimate essence of his nature. Man is born to love, adore, and serve God, and so attain eternal beatitude in the glory of Paradise.    Making him believe that by indulging the corrupt instincts of original sin and personal sins he can in some way fulfill himself far from God and against Him constitutes a culpable deception and a very grave responsibility on the part of those who abuse their role as Shepherds in order to delude the sheep and plunge them into the abyss.    Instead, it is necessary to show, with patient but firm spiritual direction, that every human being has a supernatural destiny and a path of suffering and sacrifices that temper him and make him worthy of his eternal reward. There is no Resurrection without Calvary, no victory without a fight!    This is true for every soul redeemed by Our Lord: both the married person and the celibate, the priest and the layperson, the man and the woman, the child and the elder.    The battle against one’s own nature corrupted by Original Sin unites us all: the one who manages money must fight against the temptation to steal, the one who is married must fight against the temptation to betray his or her spouse, the one who lives in chastity must fight against temptations against purity, the one who eats nice food must fight against the temptation to gluttony, and the one who is exposed to public applause must fight against the temptation to pride.    Thus, with humility and trust in the Grace of God, and having recourse to the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin, every person whom the Lord puts to the test – even in the painful situation of homosexuality – must understand that it is in the battle against sin that one conquers one’s place in eternity, makes the Passion of Christ not rendered vain, and causes the splendor of the Mercy of God to shine forth towards His creatures, whom He helps in the moment of temptation – not with the illusory approval of inclinations to evil but by pointing to the glorious destiny that awaits each one of us: being admitted to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb wearing the royal robe that He has prepared for us.    May we be assisted in this earthly pilgrimage by the Grace regained with sacramental Absolution and the celestial food of the Holy Eucharist, the Bread of Angels and pledge of future glory.    + Carlo Maria Viganò, Archbishop    3 July 2021    Saint Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr

WHAT I FOUND ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND WHY IT SHOULDN’T BE TAUGHTState legislatures are wise to ban schools from promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and racial superiority theory. 
By Christopher F. RufoJuly 8, 2021(emphasis added)
America is up in arms about critical race theory in public schools. Lawmakers in California and Washington, and school districts in Oregon have introduced or mandated critical race theory in the state curriculum; lawmakers in TexasIdahoOklahoma, and, most recently, Florida, have passed legislation prohibiting teachers from promoting critical race theory in the classroom. 
But despite all of the furor surrounding these bills, many Americans still do not have a firm grasp of what critical race theory is and how it manifests in public schools. I’m an investigative reporter with the public policy think tank the Manhattan Institute and have recently completed a multi-part series about critical race theory in public schools – and what I discovered shocked me to the core. 
First, a definition: critical race theory is an academic discipline that claims that the United States was founded on racism, oppression, and white supremacy – and that these forces are still at the root of our society. That’s how it is defined in practice. But bureaucrats implementing critical race theory will say it is an academic concept arguing race is a social construct, and that racism is not only individual bias or prejudice but also something embedded in legal and political systems.
Critical race theory reformulates the old Marxist dialectic of oppressor and oppressed, replacing the class categories of bourgeoisie and proletariat with the identity categories of white and black. But the basic conclusion is the same: In order to liberate man, society must be fundamentally transformed through moral, economic, and political revolution. In simple terms, critical race theory can be seen as a form of “race-based Marxism;” they share a common conceptual framework and critical race theory was explicitly derived from “critical theory,” a 20th-century ideology sometimes called “neo-Marxism.
To the surprise of many Americans, this basic package of ideas has become part of the curriculum in many school districts across the country. The resulting lessons, as I’ve discovered through my reporting, are deeply divisive and I believe border on political indoctrination. 
In Cupertino, California, an elementary school forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
In Springfield, Missouri, a middle school forced teachers in a diversity training session to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix.” The trainers told straight, white, English-speaking, Christian males that they are members of the oppressor class and handouts warned of “covert white supremacy.” 
In New York, a public school principal sent parents literature including “tools for action” and touting “white traitors” and advocating for full “white abolition.” 
And in Portland, Oregon, my investigation found that students are not only subjected to a critical race theory curriculum but trained to develop their so-called “white identity” and are taught about racial justice in the terms of “revolution and/or resistance” – which sometimes culminates in students participating in violent protests.
In practice, critical race theory in schools is a form of state-sanctioned racism. The lessons traffic in three key concepts: race essentialism, collective guilt, and racial superiority theory.
First, these lessons reduce individual students to the racial categories of “white,” “black,” and “people of color,” which are then loaded with value connotations – “white” students are labeled “oppressors,” while “black” students are labeled “oppressed.”
Next, this framework teaches students to think that they bear responsibility for and are the beneficiaries of historical crimes committed by individuals who shared the same skin color; consequently, they must atone for their so-called “white privilege.” Critical race theorists in practice sometimes refer to this as “internalized racial superiority within white people.
Finally, critical race theory ascribes a moral superiority to individuals based on their race – whites are deemed inherently racist and oppressive because, a Buffalo Public Schools lesson phrased it, all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism;” people of color, by contrast, are deemed by this theory inherently virtuous and laboratory. 
State legislatures, worried that children will be indoctrinated into this destructive ideology, are absolutely right to prohibit these lessons in public schools. Critical race theorists have the right the express their beliefs as individuals, but taxpayers are not obligated to subsidize their beliefs and incorporate them into the school curriculum.
Legislation prohibiting critical race theory achieves three important protections: First, they protect students’ and teachers’ First Amendment right of conscience – they cannot be compelled to believe in racial theories that violate their sense of basic dignity.Second, they uphold the basic premise of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees that individuals must be treated equally under the law, regardless of race. 
Third, the legislation ensures that a state’s public institutions reflect the values of the public – in a representative democracy, voters decide which values to transmit through public schools, and legislators have the right, even the duty, to shape the curriculum to those ends. 
Ultimately, the beauty of state legislation is that it is politically neutral. The legislation in Texas, for instance, prohibits schools from requiring or making part of a course the ideas that any race is “inherently superior to another,” that an individual “bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race,” or that an individual should “receive adverse treatment solely or partly because of his or her race.” The bills would outlaw a Klan-sponsored curriculum, as well as a CRT-sponsored curriculum.
Liberals, moderates, and conservatives should unite behind this simple proposition: public schools should not promote state-sanctioned racism, no matter the intention and no matter the target. Americans of all backgrounds should support this legislation – and ask why, after decades of progress, some political factions want to drag the country back into the ugly politics of racial division.

Fact Check:Cori Bush & Maxine Waters – July 4th 
By: Kathleen Brush, Ph.D.July 8, 2021Cori BushBlack people still aren’t freeAnswer: RidiculousAmerica is the only global power in the world to elect a minority to the highest office of the land – twice. She has fifty-seven current black Congresspeople, a black woman is the first elected female to occupy the oval office, and black mayors lead 1/3rd of the nation’s 100 largest cities. African Americans in politics, industry, and sports are globally recognized and admired around the world. There is no nation in the world where a minority holds this much power. This claim is absurd.Congresswomen Bush might want to focus on the black murderers in her state that are free. 
Blacks are killed by blacks 90% of the time, and distrust of police, and fear of retaliation limits witnesses from coming forward. 
In Bush’s home state of Missouri, in 2020 90% of homicide victims in St. Louis were black, and 61% of cases remain open. Homicide in St. Louis was up 36% in 2020. Cori BushThe freedom they are referring to is for white people? Answer: False●  African Americans are the most prosperous and educated black population in the world. ●  Latino household income is higher than exists in any Latin American nation. ●  Asian Americans are the most educated and most highly compensated racial group in America. ●  Five black women count among the 100 most influential women in the world. Four are from the United States.  Maxine Waters tweeted the names of 5 black people killed by police. Answer: And the police?Thirty-seven officers were murdered in the first 5 months of 2021. This year there have been 161 police line-of-duty deaths. An officer is 3.75 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.  Maxine WatersIn 1776 the founder wrote: All men are created equal. Only white men.  Answer: False.In 1776 no one was free. The Revolutionary War was concluded by treaty in 1783. Soldiers were mostly unfree, poor white men, and most stayed poor and unfree after the war. In 1776 laws limited freedoms for: blacks; Native Americans; white Catholics, Jews, indentured servants, and poor people; and all immigrants. Poor whites would be able to vote throughout the United States in 1830. In 1863, blacks were freed but white indentured servants remained unfree. Some until 1930.  Cori BushThis land is stolen.  Answer: Untrue●  Land in America was originally claimed by Britain and France under the Doctrine of Discovery and the Right of Conquest. ●  Most Native American tribes sided with France in the French and Indian War, and Britain in the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. ●  As losers, France and Britain conceded large swathes of Native American land. ●  Additionally, many settlers given grants of land by the Crown decided to pay the Native Americans for land. ●  Native Americans had surplus land and were anxious to trade for goods, like arms. ●  It was regular for Native Americans to also pay off debts with land. ● ●  After 1776 all Indian land was to be acquired by treaty, and it was. 
For some, an issue of unfair power relationships left lingering feelings of land theft. To address this, the Indian Claims Commission operated between 1946 and 1978.  After this, claims continue to be negotiated with lawsuits. By 2016 about $7 billion in claims had been paid.  No indigenous population in the world has been courted more to ensure fair compensation for their land or received the protected freedoms, concessions, and financial transfers as Native Americans.

Scapegoats, Boogeymen,and HobgoblinsThe Biden Administration, the bureaucracy, military, media, academia, Silicon Valley, and corporate boardrooms across America don’t know how to explain, much less solve, our mounting crises.

American Greatness

July 7, 2021

Hat Tip: Rip McIntosh


The world may be increasingly baffled by 2021 America, and its sudden scapegoating of “white supremacist” hobgoblins for problems it cannot or will not solve. 
Roughly 400 Americans were shot over the past July 4 holiday weekend. About 150 of them were killed. The majority, both of the shooters and the victims, were inner-city, African-American males. 
The level of violence approaches the bad casualty days of the recent Afghan and Iraq wars. 
Meanwhile, during the carnage, progressive black leaders, from Representatives Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) to Cori Bush (D-Mo.), blasted America’s foundational holiday and the country at large for its white supremacy and the current supposed lack of freedom for African Americans. 
During 120 days of rioting, arson, and looting during the summer of 2020, the country suffered about $2 billion in property damage, roughly 25 deaths, and some 14,000 arrests. 
Rioters burned down a Minneapolis police precinct. They set afire a federal courthouse in Portland. And they tried to incinerate the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church next to the White House. 
Downtown areas of Portland and Seattle were taken over by rioters, who occupied entire city blocks with impunity. 
Most of those arrested during the violent summer were either released or eventually had their charges dropped or vastly reduced. Although many of the Antifa and BLM rioters shouted revolutionary slogans, called for violence against the police, and carefully organized their rioting on social media, neither the media nor the government ever declared the rioters to be conspiracists or insurrectionists. 
In contrast, when roughly 500 renegade Trump supporters, in buffoonish fashion, broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2021, the media and government immediately claimed it was a carefully planned “armed insurrection.” But no one was arrested for possessing or using a gun. 
Headlines blared of five killed. But four died of natural causes and three of those deaths were among Trump supporters. The only violent death was also of a Trump supporter and military veteran, lethally shot by a Capitol police officer while entering through a window. Her shooter remains unidentified. 
In the aftermath of the Capital riot of a few hours, the media, the Left, and the government militarized Washington, D.C, with over 20,000 troops, massive fencing, and ubiquitous barbed wire. The takeover was in response to fears of violent “white supremacy.” No such anticipated attempted attack or hyped violence ever followed. 
The earlier four months of violence never earned such a hyper federal response as did the few hours on January 6—although the death, destruction, and mayhem went on for months at far greater human and material costs. 
Murders and violent crime in some major American cities have doubled. Forty percent of residents in liberal San Francisco poll a desire to leave their now crime-ridden city.  In response to nationwide increases in criminal violence, an embarrassed President Biden and exasperated governors and mayors talk of clamping down on legal gun ownership and sales. They blame all firearms for the shootings, even though legally purchased and possessed rifles are involved in just a fraction of violent crime cases. 
Currently, the Chinese military is in the news for issuing overt threats to its neighbors, particularly Taiwan. China seized the unoccupied Spratly Islands to create naval bases to control sea traffic in the South China Sea. It is currently building over 100 hardened long-range-missile silos to house intercontinental nuclear missiles, most of them to be pointed at the United States. 
Iran is accelerating its nuclear enrichment. The current government seems emboldened by new outreach from the Biden Administration. 
The Taliban will take over Afghanistan in a few weeks. Kabul will likely soon recreate the fall of Saigon in 1975. 
Hackers, some of them likely to have covert affiliations with the Russian government, have systematically attacked U.S. companies. In response, President Biden asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to make sure the attackers at least put more important American facilities off their target lists. 
What is the U.S. military’s reaction to all these crises? 
Recently the Chief of Naval Operations, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the Secretary of Defense all testified before Congress that the U.S. military is systematically scanning its ranks for potential white supremacists. It now requires woke workshops and recommends various critical race theory books to enlisted personnel. 
In the crazy times of 2020-21, America seems helpless to stop urban violence, months of rioting and arson, spiraling crime, an anticipated wave of 2 million illegal aliens crossing the border over a 12-month period, a rising and aggressive China, and foreign hackers. 
In response, the Biden Administration, the bureaucracy, the military, the media, academia, Silicon Valley, and the corporate boardrooms across America do not seem to have a clue about how to explain, much less solve, mounting economic, cultural, social, and security crises. 
Apparently, all they can come up with is scapegoating mythical white supremacy for existential problems that they cannot solve—mostly because otherwise such challenges require bothersome and politically incorrect answers and introspection.

Those Black Extremists Who Shut Down I-95 May Be Knocking on Your Door Soon

BySamantha Chang, The Western Journal

If you listen to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the biggest threat facing all Americans is “white supremacy.”

While Democrats and the establishment media overhype this phantom entity as an imminent existential threat, they ignore the actual threat posed by armed militia groups comprised of black and brown separatists who commit crimes while claiming exemption from U.S. laws.

On Saturday, 10 adult men and one 17-year-old were arrested after their eight-hour armed standoff with Massachusetts State Police shut down Interstate 95, according to WCVB-TV.https://lockerdome.com/lad/10817563773098342?pubid=ld-7985-7177&pubo=https%3A%2F%2Fflagandcross.com&rid=&width=740

Another suspect repeatedly refused to identify himself.

All 11 suspects are now being held without bail on multiple gun charges amid concerns they pose a threat to public safety.

According to their website, the Rise of the Moors — which is essentially a black separatist coalition — is based in Rhode Island.

The group’s incoherent list of demands includes a “complete and utter separation” of their people from the United States so they can “reestablish ourselves as an independent nation.”

Like the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement, the Rise of the Moors is anti-police.

“We will also have an immediate end to the domestic police terrorism and mob attacks against all Moors on the continent of North America,” the group said on the website.

“Since we are not citizens of the United States, we owe no tax obligations to the government of the United States,” the group said.

However, the Rise of the Moors insists that the U.S. is obligated to help it financially as payback for slavery and other alleged injustices to its people.

“[The U.S.] is obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separation from them and the establishment of our own government for the next 30 years – until we are able to produce and supply our own needs,” it said on the website.

“This obligation and liability stems from their involvement in the enslavement and practice of genocide against our people.”

In other words, the armed militia group wants all the privileges that U.S. citizens and legal residents have without any of the obligations.

Basically, the Moors want to be squatters living rent-free on U.S. territory while claiming all the land belongs to them.

On Wednesday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham expressed shock that there has been hardly any national media coverage of this bizarre group and its armed standoff.

She pointed out that the media have been howling and fearmongering nonstop about the Jan. 6 incursion of the Capitol by Trump supporters even though it was shut down after three hours.

Meanwhile, an eight-hour standoff by the Moorish Nation got hardly any news coverage.

These armed black separatist groups have grown in number since the Black Lives Matter movement mushroomed.h-x

As Democrats and their media puppets continue to stoke racial division, you should expect to see more of these extremist groups, armed to the teeth and claiming ownership of public and private properties.

“Insurrection”

By: Judd Garrett

Objectivity is the Objective

July 7, 2021

(emphasis added)

Hat Tip: Rip McIntosh


Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the Democrats are forming a “9/11-type commission” to investigate the riot at the Capital on January 6, 2021. In her argument for the commission, Pelosi said, “We have the duty, to the Constitution and the country, to find the truth of the January 6th insurrection and to ensure that such an assault on our Democracy cannot happen again.”
Didn’t the US House of Representatives led by Pelosi file one article of impeachment against President Trump, alleging “incitement of insurrection”? Didn’t Chuck Schumer hold a Senate impeachment of Donald Trump on February 13, 2021? Wasn’t Trump acquitted at the impeachment trial? So, how can the House and the Senate impeach a President for his role in an incident if they have not thoroughly investigated to know “the truth” of what happened? Is it common practice to impeach a President without knowing all the facts? Isn’t by merely calling for this commission, an admission by Pelosi that the impeachment was a fraud, purely political, and abuse of power by her and Chuck Schumer purely for selfish political gain.
If on the other hand, the Capital riot had been thoroughly investigated to the point they knew the truth to legitimately be able to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate, and Trump was found not guilty, then this upcoming investigation into the Capital riot is a fraud, and abuse of power by Pelosi purely for selfish political gain. Whichever way you look at this, Nancy Pelosi either has or is about to commit an abuse of her power as Speaker of the House.
The other glaring questions about this commission are; how can Nancy Pelosi call the Capital riot an “insurrection” if she does not know the truth of what happened, and if none of the so-called “insurrectionists” were armed? Will this commission have the power to charge Donald Trump a 2nd time for the same alleged crime of which he was already found not guilty? If yes, why would a former President be denied the basic Constitutional right protecting against the threat of “double jeopardy”? And wouldn’t this violation of the Constitution be another abuse of power by Pelosi and Schumer?
The real investigations into January 6, 2021, should be to uncover:☆  Who shot unarmed Navy veteran Ashli Babbitt? ☆  Why is that police officer’s name still being hidden from the public? ☆  Who ordered that cover-up? ☆  Why was the offer for National Guard protection on January 6, by President Trump refused? ☆  Who made that decision? ☆  Why was the Capital Police under-manned that day? ☆  Who told them to stand down? ☆  Why were Capital police officers opening the doors to the Capital for the protestors to simply walk in, giving them free access to a building in which they were later charged for trespassing?☆  Are those officers going to be charged with entrapment? ☆  Why are thousands of hours of surveillance video from the Capital on January 6, being hidden from the public? ☆  Who decided to block the release of that potentially exculpatory evidence?
Will we, also, investigate the origins of the BLM and Antifa riots in the summer and fall of 2020 which caused billions of dollars of damage, thousands of injuries, killed over 30, firebombed police stations, and courthouses? 
Are Pelosi and Schumer not investigating the origins of those riots because they are content with them occurring again when it benefits them politically? 
Why have over 50 people from the Capital riot been detained in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day for the last 6 months in inhumane living conditions for the crime of trespassing, while rioters who destroyed our cities throughout our country in 2020 were let out on bail within 24 hours?
Pelosi said she is doing this because, “We [the Democrats] have the duty, to the Constitution and the country.” Yet, Democrats continue to tell us and show us how much they hate America. On July 4th, Rep Cori Bush (D-Mo) tweeted “This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.” Rep Maxine Waters (D-Mo) tweeted, “[T]he Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal. Equal to what? What men? Only white men?” Far left, NPR tweeted, “In this thread of the Declaration of Independence, you can see a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.”
Why do the Democrats on one hand continue to tell us how bad, flawed, and evil America is to the point that they refuse to honor our flag, our anthem, and our founding documents, and then, on the other hand, act as if America and its institutions are so hallowed and sacrosanct? They say the land was stolen, our founders were evil, the country is founded on a lie, and the Constitution is flawed and hypocritical, then they clutch their pearls if anyone challenges the legitimacy of an election or questions the ever-expanding government intrusion into our freedoms and lives. 
If they hate the United States as much as they say and act, they should want it destroyed. If America is as bad and as flawed as the Democrats continue to tell us it is, you would think they would support an insurrection. Wouldn’t they want this evil racist country to be overthrown? Wouldn’t an insurrection simply be taking something that did not rightfully belong to America? Wouldn’t they want this stain on human history to be removed permanently? 
How can they claim to be defending and protecting a Constitution and a country that they demonstrably hate, and believe are frauds?
Because they are not. They are defending and protecting their own political power. So, when it’s politically advantageous to trash the constitution and the country, they will do it. And when it’s equally advantageous to defend the same Constitution and country they just trashed, they will do that as well. That is how unmoored they are to principle. They are simply out of political ideas, at least political ideas that work. They have lost the economic debate, so their only tactics are to rely on the race card, identity politics, and wokeness as their philosophical North Star. 
And all this confusion produces Olympic athletes like Gwen Berry, who work their lives to represent their country in their athletic competition, and then use that moment to trash the very country they are representing by turning their backs on the United States flag and anthem. Why would she want to represent a country that she hates? The same reason Pelosi is “defending the Constitution”, for her own personal gain.
None of it makes sense, because it can never make sense. When you have no moral, ethical, or intellectual grounding, you end up where many Democrats are, spewing out incoherent and inconsistent political statements and charges that are not connected to the facts or reality, meant solely to stir emotion and not intellect, bent on dividing, not uniting, believing that their superficial musings are the height of virtue and introspection, but only serving to prove how shallow, selfish and non-intellectual they really are. And they become the opposite of what they aspire to be.

    A screen grab of the funeral service for Father Stan Swamy, the Jesuit social activist who died on July 5 in a Mumbai hospital while he was still under detention accused of collaborating with terrorist activities. (He always denied the accusation.)    Below, a Jesuit priest visits Father Swamy in Mumbai’s Holy Family Hospital at the end of May. Fr. Swamy became so sick that prison authorities agreed to transfer him to the hospital.    The map below shows the location of Jharkhand State, where Fr. Stan lived and worked.    The bottom photograph is a screen shot from a video. Fr. Stan is wearing dark glasses, sitting among the people he spent his entire life defending    Letter #48, Thursday, July 8, 2021: Indian Fr. Stan Swamy, S.J., Dies at Age 84 After a Long Illness    An elderly Indian Jesuit priest who spent his entire life working on behalf of the poorest of India’s poor has died after being confined for nine months in prison without bail on charges he always said were false.    The death has prompted a wave of sorrow throughout India, where the priest was regarded by millions as a good and holy man, and where many have likened him in his courage and commitment to non-violence to Mahatma Gandhi.    Father Stanislaus Lourduswami, S.J. — known popularly as Fr. Stan Swamy — worked for years among the tribal people of Jharkhand state in northeast India (33 million population).    Fr. Stan was arrested nine months ago, on October 9, by Indian authorities on a charge of collaborating with “Maoist rebels” seeking to “destabilize the government.”    Fr. Stan denied the charges. He said his detention was part of a plan to silence all criticism of the government.    After months in prison — all of his requests to be freed on bail were denied — the priest became so ill that he was transferred by court order to Holy Family Hospital on May 28.    Six weeks later, Fr. Stan died on July 5.    “With a deep sense of pain, anguish and hope, we have surrendered Fr. Stanislaus Lourduswami, S.J., aged 84, to his eternal abode on 5 July 2020,” read a statement issued by Jerry Cutinha, S.J., the provincial of the Jamshedpur Jesuit Province to which Father Swamy belonged. (link)    “He was a Jesuit for 64 years and a priest for 51 years,” the provincial wrote. “The Society of Jesus recommits itself to take forward the legacy of Fr. Stan in its mission of Justice and Reconciliation.” (link)    ”The celebration of the life of this frail man, his limbs quivering with the impact of Parkinson’s disease, will hold up a mirror to the government, its policies towards its own people, particularly tribal people and the poor, and how, in violation of the statutes, it is stealing the nation’s resources, which are also the very life of tribal people, and gifting them to crony capitalism,” wrote John Dayal in a July 6 UCA News report     (link).    ”In the process, it [the Indian government] is also bartering away the future, with its robbery of forests, water and minerals impacting the environment and the climate. For that is why Stan Swamy had to die.    ”And the state used all its might to ensure that he would die a prisoner of the state. That he died after a few days in hospital while on a ventilator was because Mumbai High Court took mercy. But he was not out on bail.”    A leading Catholic cardinal also spoke out on the priest’s death.    ”With deep anguish and sorrow, we mourn the death of the martyr of the marginalized people, Father Stan Swamy, S.J.,” wrote Cardinal Charles Maung Bo, Archbishop of Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Burma) as President of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), in a message sent to the Catholic news agency Fides, expressing condolences and solidarity on behalf of all the Asian Bishops, after the death of Indian Jesuit Father Stan Swamy (link).    ”His last month in custody on a hospital bed till the last moments is the most heart-wrenching tragedy of an innocent man persecuted for doing good,” Cardinal Bo wrote.    ”The custodial hospitalization restrained his movements, but in his death, his legacy is set free now, inspiring thousands in every part of India and the globe. His mission will continue and will never succumb to evil.”    Cardinal Bo added: “India has a glorious history, as the cradle of many world religions, but she also nurses a wounded history. Even the great Mahatma Gandhi, the saint who lived for the poor, was arrested and incarcerated under sedition laws by British officials. The same Gandhi is the pivot of Indian history today.    ”We take solace in the thought that Father Stan Swamy, too, followed Gandhi’s nonviolent path, with a great love for those in the margins. He is the latest saint of the modern India’s poor.”    According to the cardinal, Stan Swamy understood and lived his priesthood, “extending his altar to the streets and hills of those obnoxious corners of injustice, breaking the bread of good news of human dignity and justice especially among the indigenous (tribal-Adivasi) people.”    Cardinal Bo concluded: “For too long the innocent tribals trudged a merciless way of the Cross inflicted on them by corporate greed and unjust laws. His tireless struggle to liberate these marginalized communities brought him to the peak of Calvary, of incarceration, deprivation and ultimate death. He died as a true disciple of Christ.”     Fr. Stan, a Jesuit priest, a friend of the poor, a prisoner for the last nine months of his life, has passed away.    He often said: “If you cannot be in solidarity with those who suffer or who are denied the fundamental rights to life, your life as a religious or human being is only superficial.”    May eternal light shine upon him, and may he rest in peace.    =============    Here is an account of his death and his cremation — under prison rules — published by UCA News (Union of Catholic Asian News), a distinguished Catholic news service that covers all of Asia (link):        Indian Jesuit’s body cremated under prison rules    Father Stan Swamy died following medical complications, according to India’s federal Ministry of External Affairs    UCA News, July 07, 2021    The body of 84-year-old Indian Jesuit priest Stan Swamy, who died under detention, was cremated on July 6 after a court asked Jesuit officials to follow prison rules.    The body of Father Swamy, who died of post-Covid-19 complications on July 5 in church-run Holy Family Hospital in Mumbai, was taken to a government crematorium after a requiem Mass.    “Although he was free from Covid-19, we have been asked by the court to follow prison rules,” Jesuit Father Joseph Xavier said at the end of the July 6 funeral service after announcing the decision to cremate the priest’s body.     Father Swamy’s body was cremated in an electric crematorium at around 6.30 p.m. after the funeral Mass, Father Joseph told UCA Newson July 7.      Father Joseph, director of the Jesuit-run Indian Social Institute based in Bengaluru city, was an associate of the deceased social activist priest.     He joined the funeral service and Mass led by Father Arun De Souza, Jesuit provincial of Mumbai, along with Father Frazer Mascarenhas, parish priest of St. Peter’s Church in Bandra, a Mumbai suburb, where the service was held.    The priest suffered a cardiac arrest early on July 4.

It is a broader process that is taking place all over the country. We are all aware of how prominent intellectuals, lawyers, writers, poets, activists, student leaders — they are all put in jail just because they have expressed their dissent … I am ready to pay the price, whatever it may be,” he said.    ***    The government statement came after the media sought an official response to the death of Father Swamy in view of political leaders blaming government lapses including denial of bail and delaying medical care to the priest, who was arrested nine months ago.    The statement said that the court allowed medical treatment for Father Swamy at a private hospital “where he was receiving all possible medical attention since May 28.”     The statement also denied any violation of human rights in the case, saying India has an independent judiciary, a range of national bodies monitoring rights violations, a free media and a vibrant and vocal civil society.    “India remains committed to the promotion and protection of the human rights of all its citizens,” it said, indirectly dismissing all allegations of rights violations against the deceased priest.==============    Here is a link to an article in America magazine about the death of Fr.

Aborted Baby Found Tossed in Clinic Trash, Infant’s Body Mangled From Dismemberment Abortion

State  |  Micaiah Bilger  |   Jul 8, 2021   |   12:31PM   |  Cuyahoga Falls,

An Ohio abortion facility denied any wrong-doing this week after pro-life advocates said they found a second-trimester aborted baby, hazardous medical waste and patients’ personal information in the trash outside the building.

Sherri Lynn Grossman, administrator of the Northeast Ohio Women’s Center in Cuyahoga Falls, told the Akron Beacon Journal that they follow “strict” disposal procedures, and they did not violate the law.

“Absolutely not — absolutely not,” she said of the allegations. “We have very strict policies and procedures in place.”

Grossman told the newspaper that they are conducting their own investigation into the matter, but she refused to comment further.

On Wednesday, state pro-life leaders asked authorities to investigate after they said pro-life volunteers found a second-trimester aborted baby’s body in the trash in June outside the Cuyahoga Falls abortion facility.

Follow LifeNews on the MeWe social media network for the latest pro-life news free from Facebook’s censorship!

During a press conference, Denise Leipold, executive director of Right to Life of Northeast Ohio, said the baby’s body was wrapped in a blood-stained sheet, and its left leg, left foot and right hand were fully intact. Other parts of the baby’s body were badly mangled and crushed, the results of a brutal dismemberment abortion, she said.

Pro-life advocates estimated the baby was between 16 weeks and 17 weeks gestation, and a photo displayed at the press conference showed that the baby’s foot was about 1 inch long. Northeast Ohio Women’s Center advertises abortions up to 15.6 weeks on its website.

Leipold said the baby’s body is in the custody of a funeral director, and they hope to provide the baby with a dignified burial at some point in the future.

Pro-lifers said they also found in the trash used urine cups, soiled suction cannulas, bloody blue surgical papers and other items that appear to be infectious waste, likely violations of state environmental hazard and disposal regulations. They said items with patients’ names and contact information also were discovered in the trash – potential HIPAA violations.

“Everything was thrown into an unsecured waste can,” Leipold said.

Ohio Right to Life and other pro-life organizations urged authorities to investigate. They said they filed complaints with the Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Medical Board, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies.

They also are working with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to determine if the abortion facility violated the Ohio Unborn Child Dignity Act, a new law that requires abortion facilities to provide a humane burial or cremation for aborted babies.

“This heartbreaking situation puts the reality of abortion on full display,” said Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life. “Abortion is not empowering. It is the violent and bloody ending of a baby’s life. Our hearts are broken by what this helpless child suffered.”

Gonidakis said pro-life advocates are working together to ensure that, while abortion remains legal, every child will at least receive “the dignity in death that he or she was not afforded in life.”

Monica Migliorino Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, expressed disgust that children are violently killed and then treated like trash at abortion facilities.

“This baby found in the NEOWC trash has suffered the greatest injustice that can be inflicted upon any human being,” Miller said. “The child is a rejected human person, rejected by his or her own mother, sliced apart in an unspeakable act of violence, and then literally treated as trash! We must expose this atrocity. It is so painfully obvious that such killing should be a crime and made illegal.”

For many Americans, the historic site is a symbol of the virtuousness of fighting in a righteous, losing cause. Texas politicians have long debated how to depict the 1836 battle in which Davy Crockett and a handful of Texas legends unsuccessfully tried to defend the outpost against the Mexican army. But a new book has made the argument more urgent, especially because it’s being released at a time when the GOP has been fighting progressive attempts to incorporate racial reckoning into American history curriculums. Today Texas Gov. Greg Abbott included a ban on critical race theory in schools on the agenda for a special legislative session that starts Thursday. He’s already signed a bill that prescribes a list of founding documents that Texas students must be taught. And last week the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin canceled an event, after pressure from Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, for the authors of Forget the Alamo, a newly published book that is part of an effort to recast the Texas creation myth as a battle for white slaveholders.

This conversation has been edited.The Alamo has so much symbolism in Texas. Abbott signed a number of conservative gun bills at the San Antonio spot a few weeks ago. Can you describe what it means to Texans?It’s always been broadly accepted that the Alamo is the heart of the Texas creation myth, the heart of the whole idea of Texas exceptionalism — which is the idea that we were somehow a cut above the Rhode Islands and the Delawares of the world. And that is an idea that probably is a little bit more popular with Anglos and older conservatives. Where once opinion was monolithic about the Alamo 50 years ago, it has slowly divided the state over the last 15 years with the birth of Alamo revisionism, which we trace to the oral traditions of the Mexican American community. The book builds on 30 or 40 years of new academic work to bring these ideas to a broader audience. I’m aware that three middle-age white guys are not the ideal messenger for that, but look, nobody else was saying it. Well, Mexican Americans in Texas have been saying it for awhile. This was utterly news to me, like it was to a lot of Anglos, what the Alamo and the Texas creation myth have meant to Mexican Americans in Texas. The way it’s been used to beat them down. Until the last few years I was proud of these myths. How should the Alamo be taught in Texas schools?What we’re advancing is the standard academic understanding of the Texas revolt. What’s radical is the fact that a great portion of Texas Anglos still accept these and embrace these fanciful legends. At a time when America is going through such a sweeping reassessment of its racial past, it’s time for Texas and the Alamo to stop getting a pass, to actually deal with its history, to rediscover the actual history, the actual Alamo, rather than the one of legend. Why is it so hard for many Texans to accept what you are trying to say in this book?This book is incredibly hard for Texans to accept, because they grew up being taught this just like they were taught the Bible or the Constitution or anything else. It was fact, not open to question. On an emotional level, this speaks to what many Texans want to believe desperately about the state, that it arose from heroic circumstances, that there’s a reason that the state is special and therefore you and I are special. The first time I told my girlfriend the name of this book, she literally slithered out of the booth onto the floor. This is sacrilege down here.Don’t hate me Iowans, but without the Alamo, Texas is just Iowa. Welcome to POLITICO Nightly. Reach out with news, tips and ideas for us at rrayasam@politico.com, or on Twitter at @RenuRayasam.

The attack also severely wounded first lady Martine Moïse.The assassination of its leader is just the latest blow to the Carribean nation, which is battling a host of crises related to crime, Covid and accusations of mounting authoritarianism.Moïse ruled by decree for more than a year after Haiti failed to hold elections, and he had recently taken steps to expand his power despite calls by opposition leaders to step down.Just a day before his death, Moïse unilaterally tapped a new prime minister — the seventh of his presidential tenure — to form a government. But in a private call with lawmakers today, U.S. Ambassador to Haiti Michele Sison noted that Moïse’s appointee hasn’t even been sworn in yet. Further complicating the line of succession, the head of Haiti’s Supreme Court died two weeks ago after contracting Covid.So who runs Haiti now? For the time being, it appears as though interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph is in charge. He said in a statement today that the country’s National Police and armed forces were in “control” of its security.Things could change in September, when Haiti is scheduled to begin elections. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said at a briefing today that it’s “still the view of the United States that elections this year should proceed.”But Sison, the U.S. envoy, didn’t seem too optimistic about that timetable during her phone call with lawmakers.“The political parties were to have registered for those elections from Tuesday to Friday of this week,” she said. “Obviously, with this terrible development, whether free, fair and credible elections can be held in a situation where parties cannot register for those elections would be something that we would need to be looking at.”

THE CATHOLIC MONITOR

Does Francis’s Amoris Laetitia Relativism lead to Sex Abuse? 

HAT TIP: FRED MARTINEZ

Norman Mailer, in his book “Prisoner of Sex,” shows why this relativism of Amoris Laetitia with its moving away from natural objective truths or denial of intrinsically evil acts such as adultery, contraception and sodomy (which EWTN’s World Over Fr. Gerald Murray clearly showed) leads to Nietzschean will to power and nihilism:

“So, yes, [homosexuals] in prison strive to become part of the male population, and indeed – it is the irony of homosexuality – try to take on the masculine powers of the man who enters them, even as the studs, if Genet is our accurate guide, become effeminate over the years. … Homosexuality is not heterosexuality. There is no conception possible, no, no inner space, no damnable spongy pool of a womb … no hint remains of the awe that a life in these circumstances can be conceived. Heterosexual sex with contraception is become by this logic a form of sexual currency closer to the homosexual than the heterosexual, a clearinghouse for power, a market for psychic power in which the stronger will use the weaker, and the female in the act, whether possessed of a vagina or phallus, will look to ingest or steal the masculine qualities of the dominator.'” 

Austen Ivereigh at Crux reviewed a book by Massimo Borghesi called “Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Una Biografia intellettuale” which shows that much of Francis’s thinking comes from Fr. Gaston Fessard.

Ivereigh claims that Fessard is “anti-Hegelian.”

As usual, Ivereigh is wrong.

Back in 1950, Thomist Jules “Icaac was accusing Fessard of identifying this quasi-science of thought with the science of the real order, or metaphysics. That is what Hegel does.”

“The executive function of the dialectic, as Isaac interpreted Aquinas, uses the law of thought in a concrete instance of thinking or arguing. Because Fessard used these laws not as laws of arguing, but as laws of the development of historical events, he is again accused of Hegelianism.” (“Gaston Fessard S.J., His Work Toward A Theology of History,” by Mary Alice Muir, 1970, page 30)

Sadly, Fessard realized that Hegelianism is historicism or relativism.

He hoped to save Hegel’s dialectic thought from relativism with his confused twisting of Aquinas, but instead it appears that he became a soft Hegelian historicist and relativist.

It appears that Francis is a historicist and relativist if his thinking comes from Fessard.

As the scholar Fr. Edmundus Waldstein shows this “soft” historicism, that its proponents deny is Hegelian, but is Hegelian relativism despite the denials, brought us subjectivist Bernard Haring’s “moral” theology, endorsed by Francis, which denies intrinsically evil acts.

Fr. Waldstein, O. Cist., at sancrucensis.wordpress.com, gives an overview of why Francis praised dissenter Haring and why Amoris Laetitia promotes allowing intrinsically evil acts:
 

“In a discussion with the General Congregation of the Society of Jesus, the Holy Father praised Fr. Bernard Haring for having helped overcome a decadent scholastic moral theology that had been fixated on negative commandments, and opened up a way for moral theology to flourish. Now, Haring’s moral theology is a great example of what it might mean to begin processes as opposed to occupying spaces.” (Dubia and Initiating Processes, December 7, 2016, sancrucensis.wordpress.com)

Waldstein, O. Cist., explains:

“This is a soft version of certain strands of modern historicism, indebted to Hegel. Having abandoned nature, and an objective teleological order, Hegel and some of his followers give to history a role analogous to that played by nature in classical philosophy…. Haring is proposing something similar for the life of the Church.”

“I call this sort of historicism “soft” since its proponents would not all be willing to affirm the dark core of Hegel’s account of the good. But by adopting historicist terms they tend to draw conclusions that imply the basically subjectivist, modern account of the good, and the account of freedom that follows from it. Thomas Stark has shown how these problems play out in the theology of Cardinal Kasper.” [https://sancrucensis.wordpress.com/2016/12/07/dubia-and-initiating-processes/#more-5361]

Even Amoris Laetitia supporter Jeff Mirus in a March 7, 2017 article for Catholic Culture.com said anyone who would praise Haring “as one of the first to give Catholic moral theology new life in the twentieth century must be ignorant, confused, or subversive.”

In the beginning of the post, titled “Pope Francis and Bernard Haring: The literally infernal cheek of dissent,” Mirus said:

“Pope Francis praised…Fr. Bernard Haring, for being one of the first to try to revive an ailing moral theology following the Second Vatican Council.”

The article presented some of the moral theologian’s dissenting heretical teachings:

“In his 1973 book Medical Ethics Haring defended sterilization, contraception and artificial insemination…According to Haring, under difficult circumstances, we may engage in a process of discernment which leads to the commission of intrinsically evil acts.”

The Kasper proposal agenda which became Amoris Laetitia is in significant segments about allowing intrinsically evil acts such as adultery and implicitly homosexuality. Fr. Z said at his website on April 16, 2016:

“‘Homosexuality’ was the bigger issue with the Kasperites… This is still the Kasperite strategy.”

The Kasper agenda and Amoris Laetitia’s unavoidable logic is:

It follows that if unrepentant adulterers can receive Holy Communion, then unrepentant homosexuals can receive the Eucharist, too.

This relativism it appears brought us Amoris Leatitia’s “spreading of heresy” and it’s denial of intrinsically evil acts such as adultery, contraception and sodomy which EWTN’s World Over Fr. Gerald Murray, Josef Seifert and the Filial Correction so clearly show to be the fruits of this papal document.

Does Francis believe that there is no “possibility of an objective basis for truth” and that there is no objective meaning or reality? (Dictionary.com definitions of nihilism)

The relativist and nihilist Michel de Certeau believed in all of the above.

In simple words, de Certeau’s theology denies objective truth.

The Francis considers him the most eminent modern theologian. Francis said:

“For me, de Certeau is still the greatest theologian for today.” (onepeterfive.com, March 8, 2016, “Pope Francis Reveals His Mind to Private Audience”)

De Certeau in his greatest book “Heterologies” said:

“It is not Mr. Foucault who is making fun of domains of knowledge… It is history that is laughing at them. It plays tricks on the teleologists who take themselves to be the lieutenants of meaning. A meaninglessness of history.” (“Heterologogies,” Pages 195-196)

Historian Keith Windschuttle shows that the Pope’s favorite modern theologian is a radical who thinks that there is no outside reality. Windschuttle wrote:

“Of all the French theorists… de Certeau is the most radical. He is critical of the poststructuralist Foucault for his use of documentary evidence and of Derrida for the way he privileges the practice of writing. For de Certeau, writing is a form of oppression… he argues… writing itself constitutes the act of colonisation…”

“Like both structuralist and poststructuralist theorists, de Certeau subscribes to the thesis that we have access only to our language and not to any real, outside world…”

“De Certeau claims that writing can never be objective. Its status is no different from that of fiction. So, because history is a form of writing, all history is also fiction.” (“The Killing of History,” Pages 31-34)

The Pope’s favorite theologian’s central religious idea according to de Certeau Scholar Johannes Hoff are:

“According to this new approach to the Biblical narrative, the focal event of Christianity is not the incarnation, the crucifixion, or the resurrection of Christ, but the empty tomb. The Christian form of life is no longer associated with a place, a body, or an institution, but with a quest for a missing body: the missing body of the people of Israel, and mutatis mutandis the missing body of Jesus.”
(Article by Johannes Hoff, “Mysticism, Ecclesiology And The Body Christ: Certeau’s (Mis-) Reading of Corpus Mystium and the Legacy of Henri de Lubac” Page 87, Titus Brandsma Institute Studies In Spirituality, Supplement 24, “Spiritual Spaces: History and Mysticism in Michel De Certeau”)

The nihilist theologian believes that the central truths of Christianity are about “absence” or nonexistence. De Certeau scholar Graham Ward wrote:

“For de Lubac the… Eucharist is not a sign of the presence of Christ’s body, it is Christ’s body… And yet Certeau… makes the Eucharist (as later the church and body of mystical text he treats) into substitutes, acts of bereavement, signs of absence.” (“Michel de Certeau – in the Plural, ” Page 511)

In other words, Francis’s greatest modern theologian believes that the Eucharist is not the body of Christ present, he doesn’t even believe it is a sign of the presence of Christ’s body like some Protestants, but a sign of “absence.”

Might de Certeau’s influence on Francis be the reason he never kneels before the Eucharist, but kneels to wash the feet of those he like Certeau might consider oppressed?

De Certeau’s key ideas are oppression of groups and the deconstruction of meaning.

For the most part, de Certeau appears to have gotten these ideas from the postmodernist Jacques Derrida who, like Fessard, had as his starting point Hegel. Remember that according to scholar Borghesi much of Francis’s thinking comes from Fessard and, thus, from Hegel as shown above by Icaac.

Derrida scholar Allan Megill wrote:

He “sees no possibility of ever “escaping” Hegel… every attempt to state a truth is already a reintegration into the dialectic… A key term for Derrida is “dissemination”… a kind of anti-dialectic, going against the dialectical rule of three… The fourth moment of the dialectic is the deconstruction moment: position, negation, negation of the negation, deconstruction (or Nietzsche… Derrida).”
(“Prophets of Extremity: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida,” Pages 271, 273-274)

The fourth moment or the deconstruction of meaning for Derrida and de Certeau is the Nietzschean relativism moment.

Nietzsche scholar Hans-Georg Gadamer wrote:

Nietzsche said the “‘dialectical principles with which Hegel assisted the German spirit to gain its victory over Europe- ‘contradiction moves the world, all things are contradictory to themselves.'”
(“From Hegel to Nietzsche,” Page 180)

Professor Allan Bloom, author of “The Closing of the American Mind” thought that the only virtue 50 years of Nietzsche’s influence on public education – and he could have said 50 years of Catholic education – has achieved is relativity of truth.

Bloom said relativism “is the modern replacement for the inalienable natural rights that used to be the traditional ground for a free society.”

The move away from objective truth leads to universal rights being replaced by Nietzsche’s will to power. Bloom, for example, showed how the old civil rights movement “relied on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.” But the new Black Power movement considered the Constitution “corrupt” and demanded a “black identity, not universal rights. Not rights but power counted.” 

The liberal “Catholics” speak the jargon of the Catholic while following Nietzsche’s will to power. They understand power and hold most of the power positions in the infrastructure of the American Church and apparently in the Vatican.

According to Catholic scholar James Hitchcock, the leftist “clerical homosexual network” extends to “bishops, seminary rectors, chancery officials, [and] superiors of religious orders.” 

The real Catholics, orthodox and traditionalist, the ones not infected with relativism and will to power, not realizing that their opponents use words as ploys to attain power, still use logic in an attempt to reason them back into objective truth. So they control many publications, as well as the EWTN Cable Network, but they have power over only a few dioceses, colleges and high schools, where the real power is. 

Meanwhile, the Nietzschean “Catholics” are going for the throat by going after the young. They control the American Catholic high school system, which is pro-homosexual, and filter out Roman Church documents such as the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Catechism states that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered … [and] under no circumstances can they be approved.”

That the Catholic schools are not teaching the Catechism of the Catholic Church is shown by recent polls which found that the vast majority of Catholic high school students are pro-gay. That is, they buy the whole gay agenda and even have gay clubs at their Catholic schools.

Again, Norman Mailer, in his book “Prisoner of Sex,” shows why this relativism of Amoris Laetitia with its moving away from natural objective truths or denial of intrinsically evil acts such as adultery, contraception and sodomy (which EWTN’s World Over Fr. Gerald Murray clearly showed) leads to Nietzschean will to power and nihilism: 

“So, yes, [homosexuals] in prison strive to become part of the male population, and indeed – it is the irony of homosexuality – try to take on the masculine powers of the man who enters them, even as the studs, if Genet is our accurate guide, become effeminate over the years. … Homosexuality is not heterosexuality. There is no conception possible, no, no inner space, no damnable spongy pool of a womb … no hint remains of the awe that a life in these circumstances can be conceived. Heterosexual sex with contraception is become by this logic a form of sexual currency closer to the homosexual than the heterosexual, a clearinghouse for power, a market for psychic power in which the stronger will use the weaker, and the female in the act, whether possessed of a vagina or phallus, will look to ingest or steal the masculine qualities of the dominator.” 

This is the end result when universal truths and responsibility toward those truths are denied. The only “currency” left to the left is stealing of power, because they are insecure in any truth including their own objective masculinity. 

Unsure of their own objective masculinity – or any objective truth, for that matter – they will not tolerate truth, calling it intolerance. They will not tolerate the truth of the purpose of sex, which is married love, with the creation of a secure family for the children of that love. 

Leftists replace the traditional family with sexual power struggles that lead to the death mills of the abortion industry and the graveyards of AIDS and the abandonment of children and women at the altar of free sex. 

Sex is not free. It was once a responsibility that a mature man entered into for life, for the security of his beloved children and wife. 

Likewise, liberals replace the Constitution with gay, gender, group and ethnic power struggles that lead to the breaking of the rule of law.

If a president can sexually abuse women and possibly even rape them, then obstruct justice and lie under oath, are we under the rule of law?

If our society will not tolerate truth, then men and women are not secure in their “inalienable natural rights that used to be the traditional ground for a free society,” as Bloom said. 

If we reject the rule of law and natural rights, our society will progress toward the Clintonian and homosexual power tactics of prison inmates.

The leftists in the Church and the media rejecting objective truth no longer want to be identified as men of objective faith and reason, but rather as Nietzschean postmodernists to be identified with the “culture” of the gay and Clintonian playboy slogans of the media elite.

Professor Bloom thought that Nietzsche was the father of the modern American culture with it’s “semantic re-definition and changing one’s anchors for what is good or bad.” He said, “Words such as ‘charisma,’ ‘lifestyle,’ ‘commitment,’ ‘identity,’ and many others, all of which can easily be traced to Nietzsche … are now practically American slang.” 

But the most important Nietzschean slang word is “values.”

“Values” are the death of Christian morality because values simply mean opinions. If opinion is how things are decided, then might makes right. 

One must remember that whenever someone talks about values in modern America – family values or religious values or place-the-blank-in-front-of values – they are saying there is no real or objective right or wrong – only opinions of the self and its will to power. 

Nietzsche’s philosophy is summed up by Bloom as:

“Commitment values the values and makes them valuable. Not love of truth but intellectual honesty characterizes the proper state of mind. Since there is no truth in the values, and what truth there is about life is not lovable, the hallmark of the authentic will is consulting one’s oracle while facing up to what one is and what one experiences. Decisions, not, deliberations, are the movers of deeds. One cannot know or plan the future. One must will it.”

As a philologist, Nietzsche believed there was no original text and transferred this belief to reality, which he thought was only pure chaos. He proposed will to power in which one imposes or “posits” one’s values on a meaningless world.

Previous to Freud’s psychoanalysis, Nietzsche’s writings spoke of the unconscious and destructive side of the self. In fact, Freud wrote that Nietzsche “had a more penetrating knowledge of himself than any other man who ever lived or was likely to live.” 

Max Weber and Sigmund Freud are the two writers most responsible for Nietzschean language in America. Few know that Freud was ” profoundly influenced by Nietzsche,” according to Bloom. Freud, much more than Weber, profoundly changed America from a Christian culture to a therapeutic or self-centered culture. 

The therapeutic approaches, which started with Freud, have a basic assumption that is not Christian. The starting point is not the Christian worldview, which is summed up in the parable of the prodigal son: a fallen and sinful world with persons needing God the Father to forgive them so they can return to be His sons and daughters. 

Unlike the Christian worldview, the therapeutic starting point is that the individual must overcome personal unconscious forces, in Freud, and in Carl Jung the person must unite to the collective unconscious, which is shared by all humans. 

In both cases, the therapist assists his client to change himself to ‘become his real self.’ Forgiveness and returning to God are not needed. What is needed are not God and His Forgiveness, but a therapist assisting a self to reach the fullness of its self. 

Freud, under the influence of Nietzsche, moved psychiatry away from the mechanistic and biological to the previously “unscientific” model of the “symbolic language of the unconscious.” 

Freud’s pupil Carl Jung took the symbolic language of the unconscious a step further. Unlike his mentor, Jung’s unconscious theory is not just about making conscious sexually repressed or forgotten memories. His symbolic therapy used what he called the “active imagination” to incorporate split-off parts of the unconscious (complexes) into the conscious mind. 

He believed with Freud that dreams and symbols are means to the unconscious, but for Jung the dream and symbol are not repressed lusts from stages of development. They are a way to unite with the collective unconsciousness. 

Many Christians thought this “language of the soul” was a step forward from what they considered the cramped scientific reality of modernity. What they didn’t understand was that Jung’s theory was part of a movement that led to the rejection of objective morality and truth. 

Jungian (and Freudian) psychoanalysis reduces Christian concepts such as God, free will and intelligence to blind reactions, unconscious urges and uncontrollable acts. Even more disastrous, Jung inverted Christian worship. 

Leanne Payne, a Christian therapist, considers Jung “not a scientist, but a post-modernist subjectivist. Jung’s active imagination therapy is hostile not only to the Judeo-Christian worldview, but to all systems containing objective moral and spiritual value. Within this world the unconscious urge becomes god. What the unconscious urge wants is what is finally right or moral. These psychic personae [complexes] are literally called ‘gods’ (archetypes),’ and so an overt idolatry of self follows quickly.” 

Within the postmodernist French Nietzschean schools of thought of Derrida and de Certeau, a type of Jungian unconscious urge is replacing the old existential conscious self who chooses. The postmodernist is moving from the idolatry of self to the idolatry of autonomous inner “beings” that, according to Payne, are similar to pagan “gods.” 

This the why morally depraved inner urges of the identity group politics of hatred and resentment of gays, LGBT and other groups lead not to logical argument, but the pure propagandizing or the fake news of the left and media.

As C.S. Lewis predicted in “The Screwtape Letters,” we are moving to a “scientific” paganism. C.S. Lewis’ name for the “scientific” pagan was the Materialist Magician and the name of the autonomous inner “beings” was the “Forces.” 

In “The Screwtape Letters,” his character who is a senior evil spirit said: 

I have high hopes that we shall learn in due time how to emotionalise and mythologise their science to such an extent that what is, in effect, belief in us (though not under that name) will creep in while the human mind remains closed to the Enemy [God]. The “Life Force,” the worship of sex, and some aspects of Psychoanalysis may here prove useful. If once we can produce our prefect work – the Materialist Magician, the man, not using, but veritably worshipping, what he vaguely calls “Forces” while denying the existence of “spirits” – then the end of the war will be in sight. 

Some of the largest audiences for this “scientific” paganism with its inversion of worship and the Judeo-Christian worldview are followers of Christ. By using Christian symbols and terminology, Jungian spirituality has infiltrated to a large extent Christian publishers, seminaries, even convents and monasteries. 

Many Christians are using Jung’s active imagination as a method of prayer. Psychiatrist Jeffrey Satinover, M.D., thinks this is dangerous “because this fantasy life has no moral underpinnings, because it helps to reinforce an experience of autonomous inner ‘beings’ accessible via the imagination, and because it is a defense against redemptive suffering, it easily allies with and quickly becomes a Gnostic form of spiritually with powerfully occult overtones.” 

If one is under the influence of the autonomous inner “beings,” uncontrollable urges can overpower the self. One can go temporarily or permanently insane. And in the Christian worldview, the autonomous inner “being” is not always just an imaginary being, but can be a personal being, which then makes possession a rare, but not impossible, occurrence. 

In fact, according to one Jungian therapist, Nietzsche himself went insane permanently when an autonomous inner “being” (archetype) overpowered him. So, unfortunately with the widespread acceptance of Jungian spirituality, mainstream Christianity seems to be moving to post-modern Nietzschean insanity and possibly, in some cases, possession. 

Jung’s autobiography is full of insane or occult experiences. He was continually hearing ‘voices.’ In his autobiography he said his home was “… crammed full of spirits … they were packed deep right up to the front door and the air was so thick it was scarcely possible to breathe.” 

During the Hitler regime, which itself was obsessed with the occult, Jung edited a Nazi psychotherapeutic journal where he said, “The ‘Aryan’ unconscious has a higher potential than the Jewish.” Keep that word “potential” in your mind. It will be used by American psychology. 

Once opinion is master, then might makes right. In “Beyond Good and Evil,” Nietzsche proclaimed a new morality, “Master morality,” which was different from Christian morality – or “slave morality,” as he called it. He thought the weak have the morality of obedience and conformity to the master. Masters have a right to do whatever they want; since there is no God, everything is permissible. 

In what Nietzsche considered his masterpiece, “Zarathustra,” he said the new masters would replace the dead God. The masters were to be called Supermen, or the superior men. 

After Freud and Jung came Alfred Adler, also a follower of Nietzsche, with “Individual psychology,” which maintains that the individual strives for what he called “superiority” but now is called “self-realization” or “self-actualization,” and which came from Nietzsche’s ideas of striving and self-creation. 

The “human potential movement” and humanistic psychology of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers are imbedded with these types of ideas. The psychologists of “potential” teach the superior man. 

Edvard Munch said: 

“Alfred Adler translated Nietzsche’s philosophical idea of ‘will to power’ into the psychological concept of self-actualization.”

“Thus, Nietzschean thought forms the foundation for and permeates Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology, Abraham Maslow’s Humanistic Biology, Carl Rogers’s Person-Centered Psychology, and has influenced many other psychological ideas and systems. … Alfred Adler was the first psychologist to borrow directly from Nietzsche, making numerous references to the philosopher throughout his works. Adler took Nietzsche’s idea of ‘will to power’ and transformed it into the psychological concept of self-actualization, in which an individual strives to realize his potential.”

Mary Kearns, in an address to the Catholic Head Teachers Association of Scotland, spoke of the Nietzschean ideas now being taught in Catholic schools in the name of “scientific” psychology. Kearns said: 

“The methods are based on ‘the group therapy technique’ first developed in America in the 1970’s by two psychologists, Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. They described how emotional conditioning should be carried out by a group ‘facilitator.’ The facilitator does not impart knowledge like the old fashioned teacher. Instead he/she initiates discussions encouraging children to reveal their personal views and feelings. The facilitator’s approach is ‘value free.’ There is no right or wrong answer to any religious or moral question. Each person discloses what is right or wrong for them. All choices are equally valid even if they are opposites. Everything depends on feelings or emotions. Reason and conscience are discouraged. If anyone attempts objective evaluation, they are to be treated as an ‘outsider’ and there will be a strong emotional reaction against such judgemental intolerance'”. 

If it is true that Catholic education now uses these techniques in “teaching religious and moral education,” then the Catholic education system has entered into the Nietzschean insanity. If these are the techniques being used in education and in the seminaries, then sexual misconduct charges against priests are a symptom of “scientific” paganism replacing Christianity. 

Santa Rosa priest Don Kimball, who is charged with sexual misconduct, is an example of someone whose “approach” was “value free” – that is, there was “no right or wrong answer to any religious or moral question.” 

In 1996, Karyn Wolfe and Mark Spaulding of Pacific Church News said, “THE WEDGE! You can’t do youth ministry (any ministry for that matter) without it. … Basing his theory on psychologist Abraham Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of Needs’, the Rev. Don Kimball developed this model for the growth and maturity process of a group.” 

Another example of the value-free approach is Thomas Zanzig, a major leader in the Catholic Church for youth ministry, plus an editor and writer of Catholic textbooks. 

According to Marks S. Winward, Zanzig, in a book on youth ministry, “bases his ‘Wedge Model’ on a similar model developed by Fr. Don Kimble.” Homeschool leader Marianna Bartold said, “Sharing the Christian Message by Thomas Zanzig has students come up with as many slang or street words as possible for penis and vagina in three or four minutes.” 

Now, many might say these are only isolated cases of misuses of Maslow and Adler until one reads the original text. According to William Coulson, a former collaborator of Carl Rogers, Maslow was always a revolutionary. … In 1965, working a radical idea about children and adult sex into his book about management, “In Eupsychian Management: A Journal,” [Maslow said]: “I remember talking with Alfred Adler about this in a kind of joking way, but then we both got quite serious about it, and Adler thought that this sexual therapy at various ages was certainly a very fine thing. As we both played with the thought, we envisioned a kind of social worker … as a psychotherapist in giving therapy literally on the couch.” 

As one can see, the basic therapeutic assumption leads to certain results in the real world. These thinkers don’t believe in the basic Christian assumption that there is a need for forgiveness from God. Instead, they believe there is no sin, only selves needing to reach the fullness of themselves. 

It is understandable that atheists such as Maslow, Adler and gay activists could hold these basic assumptions that sexually abusing children is okay, just as Hitler thought killing Jews was okay since all have the basic assumptions that there is no right or wrong only relativism and Nietzschean will to power which among Nietzschean Catholics is disguised in religious language.  
It appears that Francis and his inner circle hold these assumptions.

Relativism with its implicit denial of original sin and personal sin is, in large part, behind the sex-abuse headlines of Chile and around the globe.

Fr. Z said it best on where Amoris Laetitia is leading to with its denial of intrinsically evil acts such as adultery, contraception and sodomy:

“Within the Catholic Church very highly placed authorities are working incrementally to detach procreation from human procreative powers and potentials and acts.”

“If you can successfully detach procreation from the use of procreative acts, etc., then it’s game over for Catholic moral teaching and, subsequently, for all Catholic doctrine.  Once you say that what is true (in nature and revelation) isn’t true, it’s over.”

‘And, to be clear, the brass ring they are all reaching for is the lowering of the age of consent of those whom you can 
rape… have sex with.”

“And to hell with those who are trying to live chaste lives and who fight various inclinations.  Now, highly placed teachers in the Church are offering justification for mortal sins because, after all, people can live according to “ideals”.  And, well, in our “lived experience”, we see that living chastely can be difficult, and that many fall.  The ideal remains the ideal but we all know that it is is simply too hard.  Therefore, let’s stop calling acts that violate the ideal an obstacle to receiving the sacraments (which are also “ideals”, I guess).”

“If some at the very pinnacle of those behind the scenes fueling these movements – not their Jesuit tools, German bishops, etc. – have the ultimate transformation of the Church in mind, those who are at lower levels of the movements really want to have sex with anyone or anything, and to start recruiting while their young.” [http://wdtprs.com/blog/2018/01/disgusting-lbgt-story-reveals-something-about-homosexualist-agenda-in-the-church-wherein-fr-z-rants/]

Associated Press (AP) reported on the papal results of the Nietzschean relativism of Amoris Laetitia:

“Pope Francis accused victims of Chile’s most notorious pedophile of slander Thursday, an astonishing end to a visit meant to help heal the wounds of a sex abuse scandal that has cost the Catholic Church its credibility in the country.”

“Francis said that until he sees proof that Bishop Juan Barros was complicit in covering up the sex crimes of the Rev. Fernando Karadima, such accusations against Barros are ‘all calumny.’”

“The pope’s remarks drew shock from Chileans and immediate rebuke from victims and their advocates. They noted the accusers were deemed credible enough by the Vatican that it sentenced Karadima to a lifetime of “penance and prayer” for his crimes in 2011. A Chilean judge also found the victims to be credible, saying that while she had to drop criminal charges against Karadima because too much time had passed, proof of his crimes wasn’t lacking.”

“’As if I could have taken a selfie or a photo while Karadima abused me and others and Juan Barros stood by watching it all,’ tweeted Barros’ most vocal accuser, Juan Carlos Cruz. ‘These people are truly crazy, and the pontiff talks about atonement to the victims. Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.’” [https://apnews.com/77f4a7e9779940a48e2347c852516d3c]

Even the extreme leftist National Catholic Reporter, reporting on the papal pedophile scandal and a strong supporter of almost all of the pontiff’s liberal proposals, said:

“In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI dismissed Fr. Mauro Inzoli, who was accused of abusing dozens of children over a 10-year period. In 2014, Pope Francis reinstated him and required him to live a life of “prayer and penance…On Jan. 21, 2014, after the United Nations hearings, Thomas C. Fox, the publisher of this paper, wrote that Pope Francis “does not understand the full magnitude of the related sex abuse issues, or, if he does, is yet unwilling or incapable of responding to it.”[https://www.ncronline.org/news/accountability/strange-disconnect-between-pope-francis-words-and-actions-about-sex-abuse]

Respected journalist Michael Brendan Dougherty, senior correspondent at TheWeek.com, said the Pope is protecting pedophile priests who are friends of the pontiff’s friends. He wrote:

 “Pope Francis and his cardinal allies have been known to interfere with CDF’s judgments on abuse cases. This intervention has become so endemic to the system that cases of priestly abuse in Rome are now known to have two sets of distinctions. The first is guilty or innocent. The second is ‘with cardinal friends’ or ‘without cardinal friends.’…Consider the case of Fr. Mauro Inzoli…Don Mercedes [Inzoli] was “with cardinal friends,” we have learned. Cardinal Coccopalmerio and Monsignor Pio Vito Pinto, now dean of the Roman Rota, both intervened on behalf of Inzoli, and Pope Francis returned him to the priestly state in 2014, inviting him to a “a life of humility and prayer.” These strictures seem not to have troubled Inzoli too much. In January 2015, Don Mercedes participated in a conference on the family in Lombardy” according to The Week. [http://theweek.com/articles/670249/child-abuse-scandal-coming-pope-francis]

International child advocate attorney Elizabeth Yore, an expert in international child abuse investigations and former General Counsel at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said to the Pope:

“Dear Pope Francis, who is responsible for ignoring the pleas of victims of the sexual abuse by Fr. Nicola Corradi of deaf and mute children? Who restored priestly faculties and released back into the community a formerly laicized sexual predator, Fr. Inzoli? Who raised the stature of Cardinal Danneels caught on tape covering up abuse by appointing him to the Synods on the Family and having him on the balcony at the papal election?”[https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/six-cases-where-the-sexual-abuse-scandal-touches-pope-francis]

Yore documents Francis’s pedophile cover-ups, protection of sex abusers and their enablers:

— “In December 2013, a group of deaf and mute students from the Italian Provolo Institute in Verona who were sex abuse victims of Fr. Nicola Corradi wrote directly to Pope Francis notifying him that Corradi had sexually abused them and informed the Pope that Fr. Corradi was still in ministry with deaf and mute children in Francis’ native Argentina.  The letter to Pope Francis details the heartbreakingly brutal treatment of abuse victims by the Vatican:

 We are a group of former students of the Antonio Provolo Institute for the Deaf and Dumb of Verona (Italy) who told the press about the abuses committed by paedophile priests at the Institute. This was done only after three years of fruitless contacts with the Curia of Verona and in order to prevent what happened to us from happening to other children. The Bishop of Verona, who had been aware of what was going on, immediately accused us of being slanderers.

“On May 9, 2014, the eight Provolo victims of Italy sent Pope Francis a video message pleading for justice. They asked the Pope for safety measures to protect children.”

“After repeated pleas and requests to the Vatican, in February 2016, the Vatican informed the victims that the Pope had referred the matter to the Italian Bishops’ Conference, refusing their request for an independent investigation. For three years, Fr. Corradi remained at the school, after Pope Francis was informed that an active child predator priest was teaching deaf and mute children in Argentina.”

“In late November 2016, Argentine Police arrested the 82-year old Rev. Corradi, 55-year-old priest Horacio Corbacho, and three other men. They are accused of sexual and physical child abuse at the Antonio Provolo Institute in northwestern Mendoza province in Argentina. When the police raided the school in Argentina’s Mendoza province, they found pornography and about $34,000 in Fr. Corradi’s room.”‘[https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/six-cases-where-the-sexual-abuse-scandal-touches-pope-francis]


—“After the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith found Chilean priest-predator Fr. Karadima guilty of sexual abuse of minors, Pope Francis appointed Karadima’s bishop, Chilean Cardinal Errázuriz, to his powerful Council of Cardinals (C9).”

“Cardinal Errazuriz first was informed of abuse by Fr. Karadima by a young male victim/parishioner who assumed an investigation would be opened.”

“According to the New York Times, ‘The cardinal sent back a note, saying he was praying for Mr. Murillo, but failed to open a preliminary investigation. He chose not to do so, the cardinal said in an e-mailed response, because ‘unfortunately, I judged that the accusations were not credible at the time.’”

“The Karadima appeals judge criticized Cardinal Errázuriz for not acting on the Karadima allegations for years, and protecting a sexual predator of children.”

“The Karadima abuse victims were enraged over Errázuriz’s appointment to the Council of Cardinals. ‘Why would Pope Francis, who’s trying to clean up the church, pick a man like Errázuriz who has done so much harm to so many, by his actions?’ asked victim Juan Carlos Cruz. “Errázuriz said he did not believe us, and minimized sex abuse cases.’”'[https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/six-cases-where-the-sexual-abuse-scandal-touches-pope-francis]


—“In March 2015, Pope Francis appointed Bishop Juan Barros to lead the Diocese of Osorno, Chile. The Fr. Karadima sex abuse victims and Osorno Catholics were furious over this papal selection because of Bishop Barros’ long association with Fr. Karadima. The priest-predator was in fact a longtime mentor to Barros.”

“Over 1,300 Catholics in Osorno, along with 30 diocesan priests, and 120 members of the Chilean Parliament sent a letter to Pope Francis urging him to rescind the appointment of Bishop Barros which was scheduled for March 21, 2015.”

“The bishops of Chile supported Barros against the accusers and the Vatican rejected the accusations. In May 2015, Pope Francis was filmed criticizing Chilean Catholics who protested Barros’ appointment. Francis called them ‘stupid’ for believing the allegations against Barros. 

The accusations were very severe including two former seminarians claiming that Barros was in the room when they were abused by Karadima.”

“Worldwide media coverage reported that thousands of Catholics, dressed in black, stormed the Cathedral of San Mateo during Barros’ installation ceremony.”‘[https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/six-cases-where-the-sexual-abuse-scandal-touches-pope-francis]


—“In 2010, Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels was caught on tape attempting to cover up years of abuse involving his close friend and fellow bishop, Roger Vangheluwe, then-Bishop of Bruges. The victim on the 2010 tape was Bishop Vangheluwe’s nephew. In a meeting, which was secretly recorded, Cardinal Danneels directed the abuse victim to remain silent about the abuse, while telling him to “ask for forgiveness” and “acknowledge your own guilt.” When the tape was leaked shortly after the meeting, Bishop Vangheluwe admitted to the sexual abuse of his nephew and stepped down from his post.”

“While Pope Francis has repeatedly assured Catholics that bishops who cover up abuse will be removed from office, Danneels was instead rewarded. In addition to having Cardinal Danneels accompany him on his initial presentation to Catholics on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis ignored the outcry as he made Danneels one of his personal appointments to both the first and second Synod on the Family.”‘[https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/six-cases-where-the-sexual-abuse-scandal-touches-pope-francis]

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He want you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

 –  LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
