Text of the page (random words):
r jesus could it have something to do with the fact that kennedy did his very best to dance away from his religious beliefs so is it any wonder that his sectarian successors have done the same is it not possible that our catholic leaders have been seduced by a modernist culture not unlike jenny s parents in an education is that why most of our catholic politicians in dc are pro abortion has not the secular establishment with its feminist and homosexual lobbyists taken our college presidents to the woodshop of humanistic learning where a plasma tv in every den has replaced the pie in the sky of faith modernism was a heresy that the church condemned 150 years ago i don t think it was any different then from what it is today whether they call it health care reform or social justice it is a raging inferno and its residue smoke is wafting through catholic teaching pastoral work and even the pulpit perhaps what we seriously need is a new church militant with its true christian weapons of prayer penance self sacrifice and relentless charitable protest the alternative is that future generations will curse us amid their cultural ruins posted in uncategorized tags catholic politicians church leaders cultural marxism friedan gramsci kennedy family modernism at concord bridge november 20 2009 34 comments in my last entry i mentioned my respect for bill donohue of the catholic league i have seen him do battle on tv with some of the critics and quite frankly enemies of the church as an apologist he offers no apologies and his prisoners better come meekly while he can be a bit self righteous and even bombastic at times no one can say he s not an ardent defender of the church especially when in most cases public catholics refuse to stand up for the teachings of the faith they would much rather support the other side in the culture war or offer the olive branch of surrender in hope that we can as rodney king used to say just get along i don t think there is any peaceful co existence in a culture war it is usually a zero sum game i think the readers digest put it best during the cold war when they defined that term as what the farmer says to the turkey until thanksgiving when our current president was invited to notre dame did a thunderous battle cry go up from every corner of the catholic church though i am getting increasingly hard of hearing the response i should have heard should have deafened me completely the irony of our most famous catholic school offering the honor of its podium to the most egregiously pro abortion president in history so far would be self contradictory if it were not an established fact richie rich got wales i wonder what father jenkins got the catholic press advertised that 70 80 catholic bishops signed a letter of protest i was very proud of the ones that did i personally know a couple of them but 80 bishops how many are there in this country two or three hundred where i ask you were the rest of them in fact archbishop michael j sheehan of santa fe new mexico had the temerity to criticize his fellow bishops who condemned the president s visit to south bend when challenged on his complaint he quipped that most of the bishops were with him he was probably correct what does that say i am sure that the archbishop s would have strong words for another fellow bishop bishop thomas tobin of providence r i who demanded an apology from congressman patrick kennedy for his support of the health care bill that included abortion coverage i m certain that he took a lot of heat for his unconventional stance i repeat my question where are the the bishops in san francisco nevada connecticut vermont maryland illinois and of course massachusetts where prominent catholic leaders hold sway only the proximity of senator ted kennedy s demise prevents me from mentioning his substantial role in the origins of the pro choice philosophy i m saving that for a later date it now seems that his son is not the only kennedy continuing the family history of heterodoxy i refer to the catholic eye that quoted kathleen kennedy townsend as saying obama s agenda is closer to american catholics views than even the pope s unfortunately most of our catholic politicians simply take the middle of the road in a column for the st louis review i recently compared our catholic leaders to pontius pilate who gave historic meaning to his personal hygiene caught between the vice of his jewish subjects and the fear of his roman superiors he adapted a moderate stance with regard to jesus christ though pilate could find no fault in jesus whose teachings offered no threat to his rule he had him scourged within an inch of his human life to appease both sides to demonstrate his moderation i wonder how many people realize that pilate s reliance of the virtue of moderation makes him an ideal icon for catholic pro abortion advocates today his act of moral indifference easily resembles our pro abortion politicians who put their political ambitions above the sanctity of life and the inviolability of the womb with so many catholic pilates to inspire them it is not surprising that in the last election 54 of catholics voted for the most pro choice candidate in history this number angers me to no extent instead of leading us down a road to could run to perdition they should all be standing with bill donohue at the concord bridge the alamo or even the little big horn no matter what the cost may be to their political lives and we should be standing with them in fact all christians should be standing arm in arm against this attack on our culture but without leadership most of us wont and neither will our catholic politicians maybe like archbishop sheehan kennedy townsend is probably right if so how does that bode for the future of the church in america will we go the way of europe where only children and the elderly attend mass if the tobins and the donohues can t turn the rushing tide than the only recourse we will have is to get off of our feet and get on our knees because that will be the only hope that we have left this is the truth pass it on posted in uncategorized tags bill donohue catholic bishops catholic leaders notre dame playboy for the masses november 17 2009 leave a comment in response to my last posting my friend emmett raises a good question about the catholic faith how can a religion about forgiveness and reconciliation tick off so many people what is so offensive about a savior and a humble family from 2000 years ago perhaps it is the fact that catholics are supposed to kneel before the blessed sacrament and secular society encourages its disciples to kneel before other men or ideas that promote the control of other people sure the church stresses conformity to its way of thinking but it is voluntary sure they used to use heaven or hell arguments to goad us into compliance with the right way of behavior but again free will was what set us off from lower forms of animals to the secular state we are no better than numbers and statistics round people that bureaucrats want to force into square animal holes just wait until they are running the entire health care system in this country we might as well stop giving our children names and just call them by their ss numbers when they are born heck they even give you two middle numbers to go with your three digit praenomen and your three digit cognomen it will be easy and we will not have to worry about being overtly creative on a similar note i was reading the obits in the post dispatch this morning i always check them to make sure i haven t died in my sleep i was drawn to a citing for an attractive woman who died this past sunday it mentioned that she was the companion of some man which i believe is newspeak for she was living in sin well that s not what struck me it was more the other meaning meaning of the word companion perhaps some of you are unaware that the wonderful peta people you know the people for the ethical treatment of animals they are the ones who encourage beautiful and handsome celebrities to shed their second skin and pose for propaganda posters they have become playboy for the masses they are trying to change the language so that we throw the word pet on the ash heap of history they find that pet is demeaning to animals and animals have rights at least according to one of our current president s new czars cass sunstein but the scary truth about animals having rights how can they have rights when they have no free will maybe that s why they get ticked off at catholics is that it does not raise the value of animals but only lowers our value as humans think about it if the government can equate animals with people they can have their collective way with us a lot more easily it was the catholic church in those bad old medieval days of the so called dark ages that elevated the status human beings especially women by emphasizing in its teachings with its formidable theological and philosophical support system that men and women were made in the image and likeness of god that provided us with a 1st class upgrade this is the main underpinning that propels the church s right to life movement we are not animals we are not companions but humans with the spark of divine life in us all of us but what is the tenor of society today they tell us darwin killed the need of a heavenly creator now they are trying to destroy the soul and the thought of life after death st louisans might remember the ad campaign that the zoo ran a few years ago about the fact that chimps and humans had 98 of the same dna i don t know about you but that whole idea bothered me until i asked the author of the politically incorrect guide to evolution on phyllis schlafly s radio program he asured me that there was a big difference in that 2 i told him i was relieved and could now stop having my back shaved every two days i once flew with j fred muggs remember him when dave garoway was the host of the nbc today show ok i do because i am old ok i said it well old fred gets on the plane wearing a cool yellow plaid jacket he sat in 1 st class of course well when my family boarded the plane about 30 years ago old fred is stripped naked and standing tall in a cage i submit to you that this is the end result when people are reduced to the level of animals and believe me it is a lot easier to kill an animal than it is a human being in the civil war era black slaves were defined as chattel which mean property the jews in nazi germany were officially listed as untermenschen you do not need to know german to realize that meant something less than human unborn children are usually referred to as fetuses which creates a sense of ambiguity as to their humanness last weekend i was fortunate to have interviewed bill donohue the president of the american life league bill has been fighting a long battle against ideas such as the one i have described today you might check out his book secular sabotage how liberals are destroying religion and culture in america i admire his courage and his indefatigable enthusiasm for engaging our ideological adversaries on the intellectual filed of combat and that s what it is combat there is a culture war going on for the very soul of america the battle lines are being joined now is the time to gird our loins with the gospel truth and take the fight to the enemy who are not bound by rules of logic honesty and truthfulness please tell your friends and even your enemies about my blog so that we can stir of the pot of apathy among those who profess to believe in god truth motherhood etc posted in uncategorized tags animal rights catholics culture war peta the grinch and the gadfly november 13 2009 7 comments one of my complaints about my fellow bloggers ain t that like me new kid on the block and i am already criticizing the other guy as i was saying it seems that some bloggers feel compelled to write like someone else might be compelled to scratch an itch maybe writing one is like that but i digress i was in the post office this morning and i bought some christmas stamps in the past i have always bought two kinds a religious one and a secular one for my sensitive friends no i don t know anyone who would appreciate a kawanzaa stamp today i thought to myself why am i doing this somewhere along the line catholics christians and others have bought the message that our religion is offensive to some people how many people maybe just one person it doesn t matter to our cultural custodian just how many people or persons to them if there is one person in all of america who is offended by a young woman her husband and a baby in a manger then we have to refrain from musing that kind of religious symbol this raises the 64 question how can a religion about forgiveness and reconciliation tick off so many people what is so offensive about a savior and a humble family from 2000 years ago this attitude goes doubly for crèches any sort of religious symbol music whether hymns or just songs all these must be hidden under a mantle of civility so that we do not offend what has this pavlovian conditioning done to people of faith in this country it has enslaved us to the secular virtue of tolerance that prompts us to shed our beliefs or at least hide them in a closet until this dreaded season once know as christmas fades into the chill of winter one of my favorite writers joseph sobran often used a c s lewis quote that really fits here it was something to the effect that secular society wants religious people to leave the marketplace of ideas it wants us to keep our views private and then it has the unmitigated gall to limit the place where we can express or reveal those religious views in other words they want us to paint ourselves in a corner so that we are trapped in a private arena of insignificance so far from the maddening crowd of secularism and moral relativism that the christian message is audible to only those with acute hearing that s their strategy and to my mind it has been very effective it has worked so well with stamps music and especially the innocuous merry christmas that used to bring good cheer to everyone we would meet on the street my two cents of advice to everyone is during this christmas thwart the secular grinch and be a gadfly for christmas fly right into the face of this social conditioning shout merry christmas with pride sing silent night wherever and whenever you choice and please buy the religious stamps and leave the secular ones for people who probably don t even believe in god bbprof sbcglobal net posted in uncategorized tags christmas the culture war a lifeboat mentality november 10 2009 2
