Month: November 2016

“Red hat? I don’t need no stinking red hat.”
I’m paraphrasing.
Archbishop of Philadelphia and still Not Cardinal Charles Chaput has issued a response to comments from Cardinal-designate Kevin Farrell, former Bishop of Dallas and now the Prefect for Laity, Family and Life. +Farrell, whose central duty in his new role will be the worldwide enforcement implementation of Amoris Laetitia, had already revealed his treacherous intentions in his new role last month:

“I honestly don’t see what and why some bishops seem to think that they have to interpret this document. I believe that the pope has spoken…I think that the document Amoris Laetitia is faithful to the doctrine and to the teaching of the church It is carrying on the doctrine of Familiaris Consortio of John Paul II. I believe that passionately.  Basically this is the Holy Spirit speaking to us.  Do we believe that the Holy Spirit wasn’t there in the first synod? Do we believe he wasn’t in the second synod? Do we believe that he didn’t inspire our Holy Father Pope Francis in writing this document?…I firmly believe this is the teaching of the church. This is a pastoral document telling us how we should proceed. I believe we should take it as it is.”

Here is what he had to say earlier this week regarding +Chaput’s diocesan guidelines on AL, which upheld traditional Catholic teaching:

“I think that it would have been wiser to wait for the gathering of the conference of bishops…I don’t share the view of what Archbishop Chaput did, no. I think there are all kinds of different circumstances and situations that we have to look at – each case as it is presented to us.  I think that is what our Holy Father is speaking about, is when we talk about accompanying, it is not a decision that is made irrespective of the couple. Obviously, there is an objective moral law, but you will never find two couples who have the same reason for being divorced and remarried.” HERE

+Farrell in his own words exposes why he and AL are such frauds. It is simply not possible for a thing to be both true and untrue at the same time. If the “objective moral law” really exists, as +Farrell claims here and the Catholic faith teaches, then the subjective realities of any individual situation have zero impact on the objective moral law, because… YOU CAN’T CHANGE OBJECTIVE REALITY. Reality – it’s really real. Like the physical universe.  Actually, the objective moral law is even MORE real than the physical universe. It predates the physical universe. Honestly, how hard is this? I have an undergraduate degree in Food Marketing, for crying out loud.
Look, I am critical of +Chaput and every other prelate, individually and collectively, for failing to speak more forcefully against Amoris Laetitia. But that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize incremental progress, and this is pretty good stuff. Here is his response to +Farrell (emphasis mine):

“Why would a bishop delay interpreting and applying Amoris Laetitia for the benefit of his people? On a matter as vital as sacramental marriage, hesitation and ambiguity are neither wise nor charitable…I was a delegate to the 2015 synod and then elected and appointed to the synod’s permanent council. So I’m familiar with the material and its context in a way that Cardinal-designate Farrell may not be… I wonder if Cardinal-designate Farrell actually read and understood the Philadelphia guidelines he seems to be questioning. The guidelines have a clear emphasis on mercy and compassion…But mercy and compassion cannot be separated from truth and remain legitimate virtues. The Church cannot contradict or circumvent Scripture and her own magisterium without invalidating her mission. This should be obvious. The words of Jesus himself are very direct and radical on the matter of divorce…Under canon law – not to mention common sense – governance of a diocese belongs to the local bishop as a successor of the apostles, not to a conference…As a former resident bishop, the cardinal-designate surely knows this, which makes his comments all the more puzzling in the light of our commitment to fraternal collegiality.” HERE

I wonder if this response would have been so forceful had +Burke’s interview with Edward Pentin not been released the other day. Maybe the sides will start to finally line up and show themselves? You know, “open warfare”?
Maybe. If you read the whole thing from +Chaput, there are still plenty of tender caresses for Francis, which seems kind of pointless when you’ve just outed yourself to be on the side of Truth.
In honor of the archbishop, I give you the Blunt Force Trauma speech, followed by some Philadelphia fight music:

My previous post ended with the promise of open warfare coming in the near future; in the wake of the Four Cardinals’ letter. But even I did not expect it to arrive so quickly.
In the interview with Edward Pentin released yesterday, Cardinal Burke lays out the reasons for the letter. Obviously intended as a direct strike at the heart of FrancisHeresy contained in Amoris Laetitia, +Burke speaks plainly about what happens next. It’s canonical, it is hostile, and there is no turning back: OPEN WARFARE kiddos:

What happens if the Holy Father does not respond to your act of justice and charity and fails to give the clarification of the Church’s teaching that you hope to achieve?
Then we would have to address that situation. There is, in the Tradition of the Church, the practice of correction of the Roman Pontiff. It is something that is clearly quite rare. But if there is no response to these questions, then I would say that it would be a question of taking a formal act of correction of a serious error.
In a conflict between ecclesial authority and the Sacred Tradition of the Church, which one is binding on the believer and who has the authority to determine this?
What’s binding is the Tradition. Ecclesial authority exists only in service of the Tradition. I think of that passage of St. Paul in the [Letter to the] Galatians (1:8), that if “even an angel should preach unto you any Gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.”
If the Pope were to teach grave error or heresy, which lawful authority can declare this and what would be the consequences?
It is the duty in such cases, and historically it has happened, of cardinals and bishops to make clear that the Pope is teaching error and to ask him to correct it.

The language is in the strongest of terms. Read it all HERE. Think for a moment, if it has come to this, how many private interventions must there have been? Even worse, imagine how disgusting must have been the responses to those private interventions, for it to come down to this?
Now, we do have some questions we need to ask. The first is, what has caused +Burke’s change of heart since April?  When Amoris Laetitia first came out, and the backlash from faithful Catholics was immediate, he famously threw all of us under the bus:

“some Catholic media are describing (AL) as a revolution in the Church, as a radical departure from the teaching and practice of the Church…Such a view of the document is both a source of wonder and confusion to the faithful and potentially a source of scandal…It is also a disservice to the nature of the document as the fruit of the Synod of Bishops” HERE

If you read the whole article from April, he seemed to have been engaged in an absurd exercise of Move Along, nothing to see here. Absurd to the point I wondered if he had actually read the document. So my first question is, if it was clear to him back in April that everything was fine, why now does there need to be correction? Maybe those Catholic media who called it out from the very day of its publication can get some credit?
Contrast the April quote with this from yesterday:

Are you hearing this concern about confusion a lot?
Everywhere I go I hear it. Priests are divided from one another, priests from bishops, bishops among themselves. There’s a tremendous division that has set in in the Church…
Why is Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia of such particular concern?
Because it has been the font of all of these confused discussions…

That is quite a reversal. Did +Burke genuinely not think this was going to happen at the time he made his comments in April? Was he trying in charity to force an orthodox reading of AL? I don’t know how that could be possible, but there are few other ways to explain it.
It’s almost as if he’s had a vision revealing his role in solving this crisis. One thought that popped into my head is, I wonder if he knows the contents of the Third Secret and now sees his role in it.
A final question is whether there will be retractions from others, like Fr. Longenecker, who used +Burke’s April statement to brutally excoriate faithful bloggers.

“Cardinal Burke is right to say they have caused scandal because their self righteous, ignorant and arrogant writings have caused others to stumble, lose faith in the church and to question the authority of the Holy Father and the church they say they love.” HERE

The vindication is satisfying, but that’s hardly what is important here.  What is important is that we finally have a throw down. It’s happening.

The five “Dubia” are brilliantly written.  Each question requires a straightforward YES or NO answer (although the news itself is extraordinary because of the subject matter, this is the common format used by local conferences to question the Holy See).
So first of all, THANK YOU, Eminences. It feels like the new new springtime. Deo gratias.
In terms of the yes and the no, for each dubia there is a Catholic answer and a heretical answer. No third way, no nuance, no “graduality”. No jesuitical nonsense, please, just provide a simple yes or no.
The “Dubia”:

It is asked whether, following the affirmations of Amoris Laetitia (nn. 300-305), it has now become possible to grant absolution in the sacrament of penance and thus to admit to Holy Communion a person who, while bound by a valid marital bond, lives together with a different person more uxorio without fulfilling the conditions provided for by Familiaris Consortio n. 84 and subsequently reaffirmed by Reconciliatio et Paenitentia n. 34 and Sacramentum Caritatis n. 29. Can the expression “in certain cases” found in note 351 (n. 305) of the exhortation Amoris Laetitia be applied to divorced persons who are in a new union and who continue to live more uxorio?
After the publication of the post-synodal exhortation Amoris Laetitia (cf. n. 304), does one still need to regard as valid the teaching of St. John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor n. 79, based on Sacred Scripture and on the Tradition of the Church, on the existence of absolute moral norms that prohibit intrinsically evil acts and that are binding without exceptions?
After Amoris Laetitia (n. 301) is it still possible to affirm that a person who habitually lives in contradiction to a commandment of God’s law, as for instance the one that prohibits adultery (cf. Mt 19:3-9), finds him or herself in an objective situation of grave habitual sin (cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, Declaration, June 24, 2000)?
After the affirmations of Amoris Laetitia (n. 302) on “circumstances which mitigate moral responsibility,” does one still need to regard as valid the teaching of St. John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor n. 81, based on Sacred Scripture and on the Tradition of the Church, according to which “circumstances or intentions can never transform an act intrinsically evil by virtue of its object into an act ‘subjectively’ good or defensible as a choice”?
After Amoris Laetitia (n. 303) does one still need to regard as valid the teaching of St. John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor n. 56, based on Sacred Scripture and on the Tradition of the Church, that excludes a creative interpretation of the role of conscience and that emphasizes that conscience can never be authorized to legitimate exceptions to absolute moral norms that prohibit intrinsically evil acts by virtue of their object?

So what we have here are five questions to which the Catholic answers are No, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. Just as obvious and well-known is the fact that Francis is intentionally subverting orthodox Catholic teaching in these areas.  IT’S NOT CONFUSING.  He affirmed it on the airplane “Si, punto” and he affirmed it to the heretical South American bishops in his response to their letter.
Francis answers Yes, No, No, No, No.
But of course he did not answer the Cardinals’ letter, so now they have made it public.  This isn’t just a signal, this is a beachhead. Francis now knows, beyond a doubt, that his entire pogrom is in peril. He now knows this will schism the Church.
Make popcorn.
Now we are going to find out how much fun open warfare can be.

“One of the heads of the beast appeared to be fatally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was astonished and followed the beast.” Rev 13:3

Just sayin.
At this hour, the petition on change.org for the Electoral College to hand the presidency to Hillary has surpassed 3,500,000 signatures.  Never mind that its author is foolishly appealing to the “but but but she won the popular vote! No fair!” line of reasoning, which is pure stupidity. Four previous presidents were elected despite losing the popular vote, most recently in 2000. It’s a non-issue.
But boy, that’s a lot of signatures, and the movement hasn’t really started yet.
Those riots?…those aren’t going away. I bet you never thought #LoveTrumpsHate involved so much arson, destruction of property, and beatings.  Whether or not they are being paid, think about the mindset of these people. How twisted up in your own leftist fantasy land must you be, to think that “protests” can or should overturn the legal democratic process?
Or are they on to something? It feels oddly familiar… where have I seen this before?
Oh that’s right…BREXIT! The Remain contingent threw a fit, and immediately called for a do-over. This despite the fact that the referendum document itself, sent to every home in the UK, plainly stated:

“This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide.” HERE

But never mind that, the Remains are now pursuing a legal challenge to unbind the vote and turn it into a mere suggestion to parliament, AND THEY ARE WINNING. This will be seen as an example to be followed.
Trump stands at 290 votes, with NH and MI still being counted. If those go to Hillary, they need to find a way to steal 21 more votes. You do realize there were already electors, before the election took place, who stated, for the record, that they would never, ever vote for Trump if he won. Yeah, go google that.  Now, for every one of them who dared to speak out, how many, many more of them must there be who kept quiet?  Somebody is going to figure out it is indeed possible to rig the this. It is being worked on right now, without any question. To understand why, you need to understand why the Electoral College exists.
The Electoral College was created for two reasons, and unfortunately one of them does come into play here.
The first reason is that direct democracy at a national level is mob rule, and this concerned the Founding Fathers. They didn’t even want direct democracy at the state level when it came to federal authority – senators were not elected by the people until the last century. For a great example of how things can go ‘wrong’ with direct democracy at the national level, refer back to the Brexit referendum.  The Remains were so confident they would win, they stupidly put it on the ballot.Thanks, guys.
The second and more important reason the Electoral College exists is in the event a person with a lack of character – unfit for the office – should win the vote.
See where this is going?
If you think that Hillary’s lack of character is far worse than Trump’s, well I have news for you. It doesn’t matter that you’re right.  These people think Trump is the most vile human being ever. Go look at youtube for 15 minutes. Not only that, but didn’t you notice that the entire GOP establishment was against Trump?  There are dozens and dozens of RINO electors just begging for the right combination of bribes and promises to flip their vote. The best part is, they’ll get to bathe their treachery in the soothing warmth of “following their conscience.”
There are no federal laws prohibiting an elector from changing his pledged vote.  Those who do so are called Faithless Electors, and it has happened several times in the past, although it has never changed the outcome of the presidency. Several states do have laws against this, but most of them are fairly weak. Some states invalidate the flipped vote, some do not. You will need to do some research into this, and also how the electors are chosen in each state, in order to understand where the battlegrounds may be. Start HERE.
I would have immediately suspected PA as a target, having some of the most corrupt state politics in the nation. But the electors in PA are actually chosen not by the winning party, but by the winning candidate. So they will need to look for another large state, or else they could pursue flipping just one or two electors in a large number of states. Would it really be that hard?
The electors meet on 19 December. The ballots are sent to D.C., where a joint session of congress convenes 6 January 2017, when the ballots will be opened, counted, and the name of the new president announced by the President of the Senate, Joe Biden.
Do I really think this will come to pass? No, I don’t. I think it far more likely that the groundwork will be done, the necessary Faithless Electors will be secured for Hillary, and then they will take it to Trump. In a stunning execution of blackmail par excellence, they will secure his pledge to, more or less, maintain the status quote in return for them letting him keep the presidency while avoiding a challenge.
Don’t rock the boat.
Build the wall, but amnesty for all.
Don’t repeal obamacare, parts of it are just fine.
Don’t prosecute Crooked Hillary, we need unity not spite.
Folks, it’s already happening HERE.
 

“It’s midnight in America. The day before fifty million Americans got up and stood in front of the great iron wheel that had been grinding them down. They stood there even though the media told them it was useless. They took their stand even while all the chattering classes laughed and taunted them.
They were fathers who couldn’t feed their families anymore. They were mothers who couldn’t afford health care. They were workers whose jobs had been sold off to foreign countries. They were sons who didn’t see a future for themselves. They were daughters afraid of being murdered by the “unaccompanied minors” flooding into their towns. They took a deep breath and they stood.
They fought back against their jobs being shipped overseas while their towns filled with migrants that got everything while they got nothing. They fought back against a system in which they could go to jail for a trifle while the elites could violate the law and still stroll through a presidential election. They fought back against being told that they had to watch what they say. They fought back against being held in contempt because they wanted to work for a living and take care of their families.
They fought and they won.”

And for your Democrat friends, send them the following link. It’s from a Libertarian who voted Bernie in the primary and 3rd party in the general (yes, we have entered the age where a Libertarian will vote for an avowed Socialist if he gets to keep his faux libertine “freedoms”):

“Did you read Wikileaks? Well, you should have. The “conspiracies” were true, and the mainstream media lied to you to about everything. Wikileaks has a 10-year record of never releasing a single falsified document, and is not connected to Russia. Everything they released were the actual e-mails of Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff. You had the opportunity to look through a window into the Hillary Clinton campaign, but you didn’t. By ignoring the leaks, you ignored reality.
By not listening to your fellow Americans, and accusing them of being “conspiracy theorists” and trusting the corporate media, you ignored reality. By only following other liberals on social media, and only reading liberal or corporate news, once again ignoring reality. When Hillary Clinton was caught rigging the primary against Bernie Sanders, and Democrats nominated her anyway they ignored reality.
I took it upon myself to understand Trump, and his supporters. What I found was millions of great Americans who had been disenfranchised, normal people like you and I, who did not recover from the Great Recession. They’re pissed off about Obama Care, endless wars, trade deals that have killed jobs, higher taxes, a rigged economy–and, they are not wrong.”

The rest is HERE.
Enjoy the Trump Train one more day, folks. Tomorrow, I’m afraid I need to bring the full weight of the Truth Train down on this party. The imminent persecution may have been delayed, praise be to God, but it’s still coming.

I awoke 8 Nov 2016 to facebook posts of very long election lines in PA, my native place. A good sign, even in suburban Philadelphia. Normally Philly and its contiguous counties are Blue, the rest of the state is Red other than State College, but the state ends up going Blue because the Philly population is just too big. And voter fraud.
Then I saw the lines in the blue collar wards within Philadelphia. Very good sign. Even the unions were going for Trump.  There is no early voting in PA – you must go to the polls on election day. A bright, sunny, mild election day. Deo Gratias.
In AZ, my current place, about 70% of ballots are cast via early voting. So lines at polling places are unheard of. But yesterday there were widespread reports of long lines in suburban and rural places. Republican places. Good sign.
AZ is typically a Red state for national elections and statewide races, but we have just enough Lefties to make things interesting sometimes.  They started saying AZ was in play about two months ago, after Pussygate.
Now, I happen to live in central Phoenix, in one of the Bluer districts. Our Dem Congresswomen was re-elected with 61%. I don’t think I saw one Trump sign anywhere near my house. And interestingly, at houses full of signs for Dem candidates for all the other races, no Hillary signs. I noticed it weeks ago.  For every ten houses with loads of Dem signs, maybe one had a Hillary sign.
I voted early via paper ballot.  My wife went to the polls at 10am, figuring it was her best chance for a short line.
It was empty. I snickered.
During the lunch hour, I decided to take a drive to check it out. Surely this would be the busiest time, other than 5:15-6pm, right?

Yeah. so I had a pretty good idea at 12:35pm where this was headed.  This is what played out across America.  In PA, OH, MI, WI, and FLORIDA.
Republicans showed up in droves, with great misgivings about their own candidate, but determined to stop HER. Dems were either repulsed enough to stay away, or else thought Trump didn’t have a chance.
Probably, the latter.  They believed their own fake polls. Even the tools on the news networks were in genuine disbelief as it played out last night. The moment Fox called Florida for Trump, the shift in tone was grave.
It was amazing.
 

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, right? HERE
It’s not the first time, either.  He loves her.
Emma Bonino, the unrepentant diabolical abortionist, has boasted of killing over 10,000 unborn babies. Her favorite method is using a bicycle pump. She is THE foremost promoter of abortion in Italy, and it’s not even close. This is the woman Francis invites to the Vatican on multiple occasions to “dialogue.” This is the woman Francis calls “one of the great ones.” READ THIS LINK: HERE
We Americans have a tendency to think it’s all about us.
Some days, it is.
 

Updated post from earlier last month, updated and edited, because there sure was a lot of stuff that happened in the last month. As you read this, keep in mind I wrote it when the “polls” showed Hillary with a ten point lead. You can read the old version HERE.
Way back when, Trump got into this race to do nothing more than dish out some “straight talk” to strengthen his personal brand (h/t Barnhardt) and then drop out once the going got tough. We all know what happened instead.  A great swath of the electorate sees that the country is utterly broken, and it turns out they are willing to take a chance on ANYONE who they think can fix it. The GOP panicked and almost destroyed itself. The traitorous RINOs decided they would rather have Hillary, because she is less of a threat to them. It will be business as usual. Hillary is IN REALITY more like them than Trump is. Think about that. Cucks like Ryan and McCain are actually WORSE than Hillary, because they cloak themselves in fake virtue and “hurt feelings” while actively trying to destroy the one candidate who has the only chance of beating her.
Also, have you wondered why the MSM is reporting Hillary has a ten point lead in the polls (edit:NOW DOWN TO TWO POINTS BECAUSE THE FRAUDSTER POLLSTERS SEE WHAT’S COMING), yet Trump is drawing tens of thousands to his rallies, with people lining up days ahead of time, yet she can’t fill a small room? Doesn’t seem to make sense, does it? And how many people are ashamed or deeply offended by Trump, and would never appear at a rally or put a sign in their yard, yet are without question voting for him? Don’t you remember the “polls” showed him losing every state  back during the primaries?  Trump is this popular despite both parties and almost the entire media working to defeat him.
Lastly, I can say with ONE HUNDRED PERCENT certainty that there is no such thing as “Make America Great Again.”  You must get your head around this, first and foremost.  America is over. The financial system is utterly unsustainable and its collapse is inevitable, the political system is utterly corrupt and not fixable, and the culture/morality war is over – we lost.  No one is capable of saving it by reversing course, nor even capable of a minor course correction. At best, you might get the thrust reduced from flank speed to full speed, but the iceberg is dead ahead. The only way this ends, whenever it does end, is with total societal collapse and hot war.  Aside: Don’t waste one more day failing to prepare for this eventual reality, physically, mentally, spiritually, materially.
So, if it is all meaningless, then why should we care?  Shouldn’t we just be trying to inform people of the reality on the ground and tell them that participating in this fiasco is nonsensical? Wouldn’t we be better off focusing all of our attention preparing for the aforementioned total collapse?
No. Not if you believe in the eternal life of the soul.
If you believe in the eternal life of the soul, and that every soul has infinite value, then you have a duty to do everything in your power to be a shepherd of souls. Which in this case means doing everything you can to stop Hillary.
I will limit my focus to three important areas where Hillary is clearly more of a threat to souls than Trump: Abortion, National Security, and Conscience.
Hillary will increase abortions, and she will make you pay for them whether you want to or not.  She will almost certainly find a way to personally profit from them. Abortion is always murder, because it involves a human being intentionally killing a totally innocent human being for any reason or no reason at all. This includes partial birth abortions, which she favors HERE, wherein a second or third trimester baby, up to and including on her due date, has her body vaginally extracted up to her neck, scissors jammed in her skull, and her brains either shredded by said scissors or sucked out. Dead baby and a mother irreparably scarred.  That’s what the real War on Women looks like, and you can google video it if you don’t believe me. As this practice increases and the left has ever greater influence on hearts and minds, teaching young girls that there is nothing wrong with this, more souls are at risk.
With regard to National Security, we need to consider both Domestic and Foreign Policy.
Hillary is a monumental threat to the Second Amendment.  If you think that’s a strange place to start the domestic policy discussion, you couldn’t be more wrong. At this point in our history, especially since the Executive overreach of both the Bush and Obama administrations, the Second Amendment is literally our greatest protection against a massive suppression of rights by the federal government. Whether or not you own a gun, this statement remains demonstrably true, and you might want to take a look just in the past hundred years how every out of control central government treats a disarmed citizenry.  It tends not to end well.
Not only this, but her unconstitutional proposals (she really wants total confiscation) come at a time when we have NEVER been under more of a domestic threat of terror. Combine this with her plan to increase migrants/refugees by tens of thousands from countries with known terrorist ties, and absolutely NO WAY to vet them. When they say “Oh no worries, they will be fully vetted”… hello? When you come from a country that has been torn apart and you have zero documentation of who you are or what you’ve done, doesn’t that make vetting impossible? Let’s say we bring in 100,000 muslims, and only one percent have bad intentions. That’s only 1000 terrorists!  It only took 19 on 9/11.
Foreign policy under Clinton will be a continuation of the interventionist Bush/Obama/Hillary doctrine of the past 15 years.  You thought Obama got us out of wars? Um, no.  He and Hillary completely destabilized the situation in places where we had nearly wiped out the threat, plus they intentionally supported the various Spring revolutions which destabilized several other countries, and now we are arming ISIS to fight Assad. Yes, we are.
Which brings me to the point that I hear most often from people who absolutely hate Hillary, but are “scared” of Trump.  “He is so spontaneous, he acts without thinking, he’s going to nuke Russia.” Are you kidding me?  You think Hillary, who is a psychopath, who has been enriched by foreign interests, who has been mired in the shadow of despicable men for 70 years, as the first woman president would be less hawkish, less aggressive, less provocative than Trump?  Well, I may have an old Psychology 101 book around here someplace I could send you. Hillary will be DYING to play My Dick Is Bigger Than Yours within weeks of taking office. The obvious specter of unjust war puts millions of souls at risk.
Now onto the third threat, Conscience. The email leaks make it clear, among other things, that the Left views the Catholic Church as a greater threat than Radical Islam. Let that sink in, and then think about the risk to souls. The Clinton team has created at least two ‘catholic’ organizations which are designed to infiltrate and destroy the Church from the inside. Clinton herself has publicly stated that, “Deep-seated religious beliefs MUST BE CHANGED” (yes, of course there is video of this, go look it up). She will force you to change your beliefs to align with hers, which can only mean that open persecution is on the agenda. If your actions support her winning, you will have helped bring about that persecution, which will destroy souls as people genuflect to the state and turn away from God. The few who do remain faithful will first be fined, then lose their jobs, then charged with a crime, then imprisoned, then murdered. That’s how this works.
Now, those are just the clear and present dangers.  Then we have the long view, wherein Hillary gets to appoint three or four SCOTUS judges who will accelerate the work of the radical activists already on the bench. This won’t be a problem that goes away after four or eight years.  It will be generations.
I don’t want to hear any whining about Trump’s bullshit. He’s a pig, and there is no defending what he said in the 11 year old tape as “locker room talk”. I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms, and boy do I know how to talk dirty, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never joked about being so irresistible that the ladies are lining up and they just love it when I grab them by the pussy. He’s also not very nice, is he? He calls people nasty names, even calls fat girls fat. He made fun of Carly’s face.  He is also a monumental flip flopper, to such an extent that we really have no idea how he would prosecute his agenda except on a very narrow range of issues.  He is an adulterous, twice divorced, twice “remarried”, greedy, amoral, narcissistic pig.
None of this matters. All that matters is that the alternative is the most evil, immoral, corrupt, power hungry narcissistic freedom-crushing psychopath ever to run for president. We are talking Stalinist proportions. And PLEASE don’t think for one second that there are any other alternatives. If you consider any third party or write-in candidate, all you are doing is contributing to a Hillary victory.
Hold your nose if you have to, but get out there and vote.
 

As you can imagine, the SJWs  over at Jesuit America Mag are drooling over this HERE.

“In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls…“Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others.  In the end, it makes us cruel.””

Yep. And please don’t tell me it’s a metaphor, or that this is just a coincidence mere days before the election. He is simply repeating what he had already made clear in remarks on the U.S. trip last year and at the border city stunt afterwards.

“On the issue of migration more generally, Francis devoted several minutes of the speech to condemning “physical and social walls” that “close in some and exclude others.” In February, following a visit to the border, the pope said in response to a question from a journalist that politicians who propose building walls instead of bridges are “not Christian,” leading to objections from the Trump campaign.
The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism. “Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.”
 
Francis said “mercy is the best antidote against fear” and that it “is much more effective than walls, that barbed wire fences, than alarms and arms, and it is free. It is the gift of God.”…Francis also offered some advice on how to fight terrorism and oppression, saying, “the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.””

No, love is not the best antidote to terrorism. You can’t ‘coexist’ with people who will not rest until you are dead. Refusing to take necessary actions to defend your family and your country is what’s sinful, not the other way around.
Francis is deliberately trying to influence this election.  Clearly, he’s with her.
Oh, and then afterwards there was a tornado in Rome.
