TRANSCRIPT

The United States is the abortion capital of the world when you factor in the foreign policy angle, meaning Democrats and RINO Republicans tie foreign aid aimed at poor nations to their acceptance of abortion and contraception. In their view, the best way to eliminate poverty is to just kill the poor.

All of this raises the legitimate and long-overdue question, How is being a Democrat any different from being a member of the Nazi Party? In truth, the Nazis could only dream of such evil and atrocities and killing.

Democrats, many of them fake Catholics that cowardly bishops have refused to deal with (lest their own crimes be revealed by their child-killing counterparts), have the blood of tens of millions on their hands. In fact, the Nazis actually look tame standing next to this rot.

Yes, Hell does have chambers for the truly evil — where the well-deserved torture and everlasting agony will be more intense and severe. The Democrats, each and every one, need to be expelled from the Church, excommunicated; and any bishop who does not comply needs to be treated the same way.

The Democratic Party has become the home of every foul, filthy and despicable anti-Christian belief possible. If they want to go to Hell, fine. Let them, but they shouldn't be allowed to besmirch the name of the Church any longer. Expel them all, without exception, just as St. Paul said.

The handful, likely a very small handful, who repent and renounce membership in the Party of Death should be welcomed back with open arms. But the rest of the infant-murdering, anal-sex-loving, child-perverting crowd — to Hell with the lot of them. Talk about dying in your sins. 

The Pharisees were just hypocrites. They didn't kill children, yet they were still bad enough to warrant damnation from the mouth of the Blessed Lord. Considering that, just imagine what this lot will incur.

And speaking of hypocrites, the U.S. hierarchy — hypocrites and child killers and homosexual lovers. Back during the campaign, Church Militant did some legwork and discovered that between a quarter and a third of U.S. bishops are actual registered members of the Party of Death.

For example, here's the bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvania's, Joseph Bambera’s, voter registration status from 2020. A successor of the Apostles publicly registered as a member of the Party of Death, and, as we said, there are many more. Not every state reports party affiliation directly, so the information is necessarily incomplete. But that range is very likely over the target.

And this is not to say that a bishop being a registered Republican is some nod to his salvation. It's just more likely that his place in Hell won't be as hot. But still, Hell is Hell, and these bishops better get used to it.

Every now and then, a great number of them find themselves in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., where a giant mural overlooks the sanctuary. It's called Christ in Majesty, the Apocalyptic Christ, and is reportedly the largest mosaic of Our Blessed Lord on the earth.

But it doesn't take long, looking up into the face of Our Lord, depicted as returning to earth, to see the divine wrath. What on earth, or in Hell, are these bishops thinking when they look at that mural? It's terrifying, and that's true even for a good Catholic. And the bishops are a long way from qualifying as good Catholics.

Their silence in the face of the monstrosity of the Culture of Death will echo throughout eternity, bouncing off the walls of Hell's chambers, where their tortures will last forever.

They produce nonstop statements about immigration and climate change without ever considering that their evils will result in a certain "immigration" for them, accompanied by a "climate change" they could never imagine on this side of death.

The Democratic Party hates children with a more intense hatred than Nazis had for Jews. Night after night, on Church Militant's Evening News, we report on proposed laws, signed legislation, new regulations, bill after bill — all Democrat — that shore up protections for child-killing doctors, expand the time frame in which children can be killed to weeks after birth, teach the ones who do survive abortion about sex when they are 6, use tax dollars to help them change their sex without their parents' knowledge and expose their young, innocent minds to the most perverse propositions you can imagine.

Every day, a new bill, or whatever, is presented, and, since these are happening in blue states, they eventually pass. Can anyone with a functioning brain actually think that any of this is okay, that children are not being targeted by these Satanic lawmakers (again, Democrats)? The Third Reich had nothing on this lot. 

Who would ever have imagined, not that long ago, that the donkey would be more frightful than the swastika? And remember, throughout all this, the U.S. bishops have remained almost completely dumb, never uttering any significant objection. Why would they, though? A third of them are card-carrying members of the Democratic Party.

They get hundreds of millions from the government to advance illegal immigration, all in the name of charity and love of the poor, of course. But meanwhile, right inside their own dioceses, infants are being torn to shreds in the womb, others left to die screaming in pain on tables if they survive — or are smothered.

Those who escape that fate go into government schools — and even Catholic schools — that teach them that having anal sex with the same sex is good, and they should express themselves and embrace their identity. For others, they learn that their genitalia means nothing, and they can switch it out, turn in one set for another, and the school will help them keep it a secret from their parents.

Sitting in the White House is the monster of the bishops' creation who backs all of this, every last bit because, when you've gone this far down the road of evil, there really isn't any turning back, logically. Biden and his Party of Death can't really do an about-face on any of this and, actually, must proceed deeper down into Hell because it all follows logically.

If children can be killed, why can't they be perverted? If they don't have a right to life, why would they have a right to truth — truth about their identities, sexual organs, place in the universe or any other of a million truths?

The Democrats use children as political fodder to feed the appetites of the most perverse among them, which is pretty much the entire membership. And sitting there quietly on the sidelines are the bishops, counting their shekels.

Earlier this week, Church Militant was in Baltimore, Maryland, where we're covering the closing days of this legislative period. Our own Joe Gallagher was on the ground and interviewed Church Militant Resistance captain Duffy Kane, who has been focusing on a particularly gruesome piece of anti-child legislation — a piece of legislation that Abp. William Lori and his Maryland Catholic Conference did nothing to oppose.

We see the same thing in other parts of the country, where members of the laity like Stacy Langton, recently featured in The Washington Post for her school board fights in Loudoun County, have taken up the mantle of trying to protect children. Any normal human being can see the attacks going on here against innocents.

But one final point to consider — Church Militant has long maintained that the culture has sunk to the depths it has directly because of the evil within the hierarchy. And, more to the point, it was the evil in the hierarchy that actually paved the way, set the stage, for the evil in the culture.

The hierarchy had already effectively accepted homosexuality within their own ranks long before the culture became comfortable with it and, the important point here, already accepted that at least some children were expendable — the thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, that had been raped by priests that they went on to cover up for.

The bishops were actively destroying children before that ever hit the radar of the Democrats. The Democrats simply decided to go nuclear with it, and, of course, they received what could be termed the "blessing of silence" from the bishops.

With just an occasional exception, religious leaders in Germany gave the blessing of silence to the Nazis. The exact same is happening right now. The U.S. hierarchy could never dream of forbidding membership in the Democratic Party to Catholics, because they are part of it.

We highly suspect that most people will have a problem with this, and we need to say we don't care — because it's the truth.

And we'd like to give a special call-out to young, conservative, patriotic Catholics hoping and working to restore America.  There is a very key point, the point you must grasp if all your efforts, hopes and dreams ever have a chance of succeeding.

The underlying, foundational problem in America, the root cause of everything going on — everything — is the heresy of Protestantism. And, yes, it is a heresy. It denies certain divinely revealed truths and, in so doing, opens the door for all sorts of other untruths to flood in.

Accepting some divinely revealed truths, like the Holy Trinity, for example, or the divinity of Jesus, does not give someone a pass to reject others. And for even further clarity, acceptance of the Protestant heresy is not limited to just Protestants.

It has gained wide, broad and deep acceptance among a vast majority of Catholics, most especially bishops and priests and religious. American history, from its founding, was set up, so to speak, to have this great showdown, and when it finally came in the form of the sexual revolution, it was the heresy that prevailed.

The Protestant heresy, at its core, is a denial of the supernatural authority of the Catholic Church, which is why the embrace of this heresy by Catholic clergy is so damnable.

And, let's be clear, we aren't talking about individual Protestants, people — at least not necessarily. Protestants aren't "bad" people just because they are Protestant, at least not 500 years after Martin Luther appeared on the scene.

The Protestant world is so fractured and splintered within itself — 40,000 different denominations and counting — that most Protestants don't even know that they're Protestant, who Martin Luther was or what hundreds of millions of other Protestants actually believe.

It's hard to actually be a heretic when you don't know the heresy you unwittingly support. Unfortunately, the same is true of tens of millions of Catholics in the United States. They too support a heresy, without actually knowing it, at least formally.

But just because a person doesn't know he supports a heresy doesn't give him a "get out of Hell free card." After all, it's not just heretics who are damned. Those who are not in a state of sanctifying grace at their moment of death — that's who will be damned.

They die apart from God, and that's largely because they have lived apart from God — and herein lies the problem. Protestantism, whether lived by Protestants or Catholics, creates massive roadblocks to living in a state of grace. Its soft intellectualism and wimpy emotionalism provide very little in the way of fortitude and conforming oneself to Christ.

Rather, it conforms Christ to the person — not the other way around, which is how it should be. An imaginary Jesus is established in people's minds, and, from that imaginary divinity, made in the image and likeness of the person, an entire worldview, and then associated morality, flows.

There are way too many varieties of lived Protestantism to get into in a single Vortex, but what we can say is that every single one of them is wrong. Wrong by their very origin and founding philosophy. They do not by themselves assist someone in living in a state of grace.

If a Protestant or horribly catechized Catholic who also is more Protestant than Catholic dies and is saved, it will be in spite of that heresy, not because of it.

The Church Triumphant, those immersed for all eternity in the Beatific Vision, does not — cannot — admit of Lutherans, Baptists, evangelicals, fundamentalists and, yes, Protestantized Catholics.

Impossible.

There can be no division in the divine presence. If someone was a Lutheran or any other of the zillions of denominations in this life, they won't be in the next, at least not in Heaven. Heaven cannot in any way, shape or form have differences in it. It's not possible.

God is one, not many (and certainly not many theological opinions and approaches). How stupid would that look — Catholics and evangelicals arguing in Heaven about this or that theological truth? How, then, would Heaven be any different from earth?

But, to a larger point, it is these underlying theological differences here on earth that have created chaos in the body politic, even within groups who identify as the same political party or even the same political movement.

The root of the division on moral questions playing out in politics — homosexuality, transgenderism, birth control and so forth — is the division on theology.

That is the single driving force behind the chaos we see. How, for example, can CPAC think it's OK — actually promote — homosexuality, with drag queens parading up and down the halls of its conventions, and still style itself "conservative"? Because their theology, the theology of the organizers, is completely off base.

Before Martin Luther, it was understood that the role of government was to create an environment, culturally and legally, where Catholic truth could flourish and people could live accordingly if they so chose.

But there were not actual impediments instituted by the State to lead people astray, away from truth, like declaring a constitutional (or otherwise) "right" to engage in sodomy, and then go further and make it "marriage." What Protestantism did, the heart of the heresy, was propose to people, ultimately, that they are the deciders of truth.

It started off seemingly innocent enough with sola scriptura. The Bible means "whatever you feel it means to you." Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

That's called relativism, and we see it every day in politics. There is such a thing as Truth. Truth in itself, objective truth, and, politically speaking, a society conforms to it, or it perishes — just as happens with individuals.

For those looking to preserve or restore America, this heresy of Protestantism must be expunged. Not only is it no way to run a religion, it's no way to run a country.

Today's Vortex is an excerpt from Monday night's Church Militant Evening News.

TRANSCRIPT

Before we begin, just a note that next week, Church Militant is holding its annual Retreat on Land (what used to be the Retreat at Sea, until the COVID madness descended). We are returning to Frisco, Texas, just outside Dallas, and have some limited room left.

Our theme this year is going to be "the dialogues of the Passion," and it promises to be a superb getaway, a solid Catholic retreat from all the insanity plaguing the world right now.

For more information, please just click on the link for all the details.

And now, speaking of the insanity, take a look around and assess the damage — the psychological, emotional, financial and, most of all, spiritual damage brought about by evil people. First, it turns out Hunter Biden's laptop is a real thing. It turns out that Obama knew all about Hillary inventing the Russian-collusion fake news. Also, it turns out Hillary's 33,000 emails were not a joke and were not about Chelsea's wedding planning. Likewise, Trump nailed it when he said Obama spied on his campaign.

Also, proving the old saying is true that you can't fool all the people all the time, half the country still knows and believes Biden stole the election. And, lastly, there isn't really any sane person in the nation who doesn't know that Anthony Fauci funded the creation of COVID-19. All of that is your government tax dollars hard at work.

What did all this cause, all this corruption and evil from elite globalist oligarchs?

It caused:

We could go on and on. But perhaps the longest-lasting impact is on the nation's trust. No one really believes anything said to them anymore by any authority. And, frankly, why should they? But let's shift our attention from government to the Church. Here, we see the same type of litany, such as:

Again, you get the picture and, yes, like with the government stuff, we could go on and on. Yet here we are again on the issue of a trust almost entirely obliterated by a hierarchy even more infested with pride and Marxism than its political counterpart.

So what's happening on the human level as a result of all this? No one really believes anything anymore — disastrous both temporally and, especially obviously, eternally.

People want to trust. That's how so many hundreds of millions have been, and continue to be, fooled — because the reality of not being able to trust is simply too frightening for most to imagine. But that is the reality. It is the way things are now, thanks to so-called leaders in the secular and, most especially, religious realm.

And in the midst of all this, in secular and religious realms, what do we find? We find a completely complicit media covering up everything in the nation and the Church, reducing media outlets to little else than propaganda arms.

Their reasoning may have been slightly different — between secular and religious realms — but, in the end, it was, and continues to be, nothing else than self-serving. For the secular types, it was to promote their ideology. For the religious press corps, it was to keep their pockets lined by not ticking off their bishops. 

Look at where we've arrived for a typical Catholic patriot, for example. He doesn't trust his vote will count. He doesn't trust his priest or bishop — or both. And he feels as though he has nowhere to turn, which is likely right, at least in the general sense.

He doesn't trust his kids will be taught the Faith, civics or simple biology, and he can't trust his daughter will not have to beat a boy in the girls' sport she excels at. In fact, he can't trust that he can trust anything, including the future.

Bill Gates, the world-famous physician — not — has just released a book on how we can beat the next pandemic through all the "valuable lessons" we learned fighting the first.

When "Dr. Gates" starts talking about the next pandemic and Anthony Fauci continues going on about the need for a 239th booster shot and World Economic Forum creep Klaus Schwab keeps prattling on about global this and that and Biden can't understand that Michelle Obama was not the vice president, who on earth could possibly think trust would not be destroyed?

When trust is so eroded, so destroyed, people will start hero shopping, looking to fulfill natural desire to trust. Religious people will turn to whacky private visionaries, and secular types will turn to the latest snake-oil salesman.

There must be a re-establishment of trust in immutable Catholic teachings and truth. And it must happen quickly. We know it won't come from a bunch of homosexual bishops, so it must come from faithful laymen.

Neither the Church nor the world can take much more of this.

TRANSCRIPT

According to an NBC News poll last week, of Americans who think the country is in serious trouble, a majority of those think the United States is at the start of a long-term decline. When you boil down the math, it's a hefty portion who now believe America's best days are behind it.

In short, we are on life support, and our death warrant has been signed — the end of an empire. Of course, these are just people's opinions. On the other hand, these are a lot of people's opinions (just about half).

So these findings, coupled with mountains of anecdotal evidence, raise the question, What, then, of the future (especially for those who are young)? And by "young," we don't mean infants or juveniles. We mean those 18–30-year-olds upon whom these realities will disproportionately fall.

What we are witnessing is not very different from the collapse of the Roman Empire. For Romans, like Americans, it must have seemed that the entire world revolved around Rome, and, for quite a while, it did.

That skews one's perception, and, as multiple generations pass and a culture builds up around that perception, it begins to seem like this is just the way things are and have always been — a kind of political and cultural nirvana. Legends are created, statues erected, folklore authored, and, before you know it, you have what seems like it will never end.

And then it does.

It all comes crashing down, owing, predominantly, to fallen human nature; the morals of a society corrupt, the infection sets in and death follows. No one should be really surprised by this. It is the way of all flesh. The only question is when it will all transpire.

For the American empire, that "when" seems to be right now. In the days of Rome, as it collapsed, there was a generation of 20-somethings that beheld it. So too now in the United States. Those 20-something Romans had grown up in a civilization that had been master of the universe; it was dominant, unconquerable, victorious. Everywhere, the gods of Rome ruled supreme.

Those young men had breathed that air their entire childhoods. The thought that 10 years later, all of that would no longer be the case was just unthinkable. It never entered their minds. But then they got into their late teens and 20s and started hearing things, seeing things. Things just weren't right.

They couldn't put their fingers on the problem, but they began to realize there was a problem. Something, somewhere, was wrong, different, not right. They heard stories about draining military campaigns, that the empire was no longer expanding, that other nations and civilizations were rising to challenge them — and those other nations were becoming dominant.

The scales were tipping (had, in fact, already tipped), and, one morning, they woke up and the battle was at their door. They were awakened by the sound of barbarians marauding down their streets, assembling for a massive assault just on the edge of town.

What they had vaguely suspected was now visibly present. The empire was done. The life just 10 years earlier they had imagined they would have had now completely evaporated. Gone in just a matter of a few short years — after a thousand years of Roman civilization. Poof.

So what now for the 20-something Romans? Unlike their elders, whose inaction, greed and immorality had helped bring about the collapse, these young men still had a half-century ahead of them. Those responsible would soon be dead, and they would be left to deal with the disaster.

If all this sounds somewhat familiar, it should. It is precisely what the case is right now. What happened then is exactly what needs to happen now. Young men need to realize all this and step up.

But the very important note here is this — the young Roman men who stepped up and raised Western civilization out of the rubble of the Roman Empire were all Catholic. They dismissed the theological heresies and errors of the fourth and fifth centuries and brought forth a Catholic civilization.

They fought valiantly against the barbarian hordes and, eventually, were able to baptize them and fashioned a new culture built on divine truth. Rome, in a certain sense, had to be swept away to make room for the Catholic civilization.

For all its glories and triumphs, ancient Rome was brutal and, ultimately, false — false gods, false morality, false justice. It had cooperated with Jewish leadership to kill the Messiah for political expediency, and, after then turning on the Jews to destroy their capital 40 years later, it had embarked on a savage, centuries-long campaign to destroy the Church.

But, as it was persecuting the Catholic Church, it was also sowing the seeds of its own destruction. This was the air that was being breathed by these young Romans as they watched with their own eyes something their grandfathers would never have believed possible. So they began fighting — at first to somehow secure and preserve an empire that had already passed away but, eventually, for the Church and, in the process, built up a new civilization.

While the same needs to be done now, the challenge today is recognizing the new barbarians and even coming to terms with them. These barbarians have already set up camp behind the lines. These barbarians are ideas — wrong ideas — about man, nature, relationships and God.

The ideas, of course, are promulgated by individuals and organizations and the government, but it is the ideas that need expunging. Since the ideas are all, at their root, anti-Catholic, they are the intellectual equivalent of the physical persecution of the Church by the Roman Empire.

As a sidenote, if they are not challenged and expunged, it will lead to a physical persecution of the Church in the West — but we aren't quite there yet.

Most of the young have already embraced these barbaric notions, these ideas born of a rejection of Catholic truth — but not all the young. In the coming decades, it will fall to these young, who will grow to full maturity just as their young Roman counterparts did 1,600 years ago, to fight and conquer the barbarians.

At the end of the barbarian invasions, they were baptized. They were baptized by the descendants of those first young Romans, who fought to hold onto civilization and, in the process, created a Catholic civilization.

In the coming years, but beginning now, what must be fought for is Catholic truth — straight up, terrible, glorious Catholic truth. There can be no compromise for short-term political gains. Establishment conservatism has betrayed the cause because it never accepted the fullness of truth, only aspects of it and, even there, for the wrong motives.

The world of politics cannot be abandoned outright because, in our system, that is where all this is fought — but politics can only be the temporary arena of the fight. The political battle is merely to stave off the barbarians on that front. A second front must be opened, a movement or action where Catholic truth is advanced.

Protestantism, for example, for all of the goodwill of so many individual Protestants, must be exposed for its spiritual and intellectual corruption. It was Protestantism that was the doorway for the barbarian ideas that now subjugate the culture.

Protestantism is a heresy — and not just in the realm of theology. Politically, culturally and intellectually, it is a corruption of goodness and that which is right. Adherents to it must be shown that. They must be rescued from it and redirected to truth.

Partial truth is still a full lie and can never be settled on or compromised with — never. So young Catholics with an eye to a political battle must understand that, while that battle is necessary, the final battle is over truth, not just policy.

This is the scene unfolding before us as we witness the collapse of the American empire and what comes in its wake. This is the challenge and, while everyone alive today who loves truth and justice has a duty to fight, it is the young who, more than anyone else, must understand the real war here.

The cry "Christ is King" must ring loud across the land — and that means Catholic truth must be embraced, or an era of very deep darkness will descend on them and their future.

One of the longest-serving priests of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), who was tasked with establishing an early African mission, turned it into a predator's playground — with the help of multiple clerics. For the first time, victims are speaking out.

TRANSCRIPT

The founder of Breitbart, Andrew Breitbart, once correctly said "politics is downstream from culture." Very true. Politics reflects the prevailing social sentiment of the culture. Of course it does.

But there is something further upstream from culture — a couple of things, actually — and we need to understand this flow, this order, if we ever hope to turn things around or re-establish correctness if the current system collapses.

There is a "right order" to things, and this right order stands in direct opposition to the "new order" globalists want to establish around the world, their New World Order. The right order is philosophy, theology, morality, culture, politics. It's much more than Breitbart's culture and politics.

The New World Order gang's "new order" is extremely simple — politics, period. If the point of life is not to arrive at truth, then you are left with the extremely dismal view that the point of life is to seize power.

As we've stated time and again here at Church Militant, in the end, when all the dust has settled and all the sideshows have wound down, it is Catholicism versus atheism. Everything else is a distraction. That's why the right order must be understood and inculcated into youth especially — but also into anyone else who will give it a hearing.

And to add proof to the correctness of the "rightness" of the right order, consider — it's because it's right that the New World Order gang attacked it and sought to establish a new order. The right order paves the way towards a blessed eternity; the new order paves the way to despair in this life and damnation in the next.

The right order begins with philosophy, critical thinking, mental examination and deep thinking on the big issues, including:

These are the foundational questions of life, and they must be considered, asked, explored. As Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." The answers to those philosophical questions — and there are right answers — can be reached through human reason. Not completely, of course, but a rudimentary understanding, a schematic approach to life, can be seen and framed.

That's what the Greeks were able to accomplish. Some of life's most penetrating questions are, in fact, able to be answered. But the initial answers (like, for example, that the human soul is immortal) then raise further questions, and this is where the realm of theology opens up.

Human reason can only make it so far on its own. At that point, divine reason and divine revelation step in and take over. This is, philosophically speaking, why the Son of God established a Church — so that truth could be plumbed, mined and comprehended sufficiently to move from the mind into deeds, acts.

Those deeds involve moral choices and, as moral choices mount up, culture is formed — and however a culture goes, so goes politics. Of course, ultimately, it's all about salvation. But salvation is a process for each person, and the more support a person has in making the right choices for his salvation, the more likely he is to choose correctly along the way.

Just like the opposite is true — keeping bad company doesn't generally end well.

If you expand that concept from a personal life to a society or culture at large, the implications are stunning. The globalists and their New World Order have simply cut out, eliminated, everything except politics.

They have, for decades now, successfully infested and corrupted these areas:

So now all that is left in their quest for world subjugation is politics — which is why the fight in this arena is so pitched, so intense because, sadly, it is the last stand. For too long, Catholics and others of goodwill have failed to recognize the step-by-step deterioration of the right order of things.

The realm of education (where critical thought should be taught) has become a Marxist training camp, where questions are not even allowed to be thought of, much less asked, and absolutely never addressed.

Theology has become nothing more than an emotional grab bag of Protestantized illogic bouncing from one insanity to another, schlacked over with "gospel values." Morality is a do-it-yourself proposition — which, of course, it would be, given the inability to deal with life's philosophical questions when unmoored from theological truth.

Therefore, a culture is doomed and politics is reduced to a mere reflection of all of this. Unless and until right-ordered Catholics step up and challenge the new order of the world, there is no hope. Bad philosophy leads to bad theology, which leads to bad morality, which leads to Hell in the next life and tyranny in this one.

But there does seem to be an undercurrent developing within at least some Catholic quarters to do this very thing. The hour is late, no doubt, but truth always wins in the end. What precisely that victory will look like is uncertain right now.

Might Satan overplay his hand and, in the process, wake up a lot of people who will then be made aware of the need to re-establish a right order? Or will the victory be accomplished in just getting as many people aboard the Ark as possible before the deluge hits, save as many souls as possible, be the defining moment.

While those questions are a point of curiosity, they cannot slow us in our divinely appointed mission. We were instructed by the incarnate Eternal Logos as He ascended to Heaven to go out and save the world.

So after 2,000 years, here we are — the right order versus the new order, Catholicism versus atheism. The hour is indeed late.

TRANSCRIPT

The shift within self-identified political-conservative circles to embrace sodomy has been stunning. It is the Achilles' heel for those looking to destroy the nation. In fact, it might be better referred to as lurching toward homosexuality rather than just embracing it.

This has happened largely because of the greed for power among those who pass themselves off as "leaders," but are little else than cowards whose lust for power makes them go along with the prevailing winds.

Every now and then, you may find a political leader who has the backbone to stand against those winds, but such a man or woman is pretty rare. But here is the question that needs to be asked: How is it that the prevailing winds have so shifted — so much so, in fact, that American conservatism isn't really American anymore and certainly not conservative?

America hasn't really been conservative since the days of the sexual revolution a half-century ago.

Once divorce and contraception were introduced into the mainstream, Americans, by the millions, simply gave in to their passions and reorganized their lives around having an orgasm — and not just an orgasm, but an orgasm with whomever, whenever and wherever they wanted, with whatever sex they wanted and as often as they wanted.

True, during that time following the sexual revolution, there have been periods of so-called conservatism (the Reagan years spring to mind), but while Satan knows his time is limited, he is pretty darn accomplished at playing his version of the long game. Even with Reagan, it was a mixed bag where it really counted.

All the flag-waving and "Americana" aside, Reagan put Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy on the high court, both of whom supported abortion (although Reagan assured conservatives they wouldn't). And, of course, Kennedy penned the infamous words in support of child killing in the wicked 1992 Casey ruling: "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."

That philosophy would come in handy when Kennedy put his seal of approval on sodomy as "marriage" in the infamous Obergefell decision enshrining homosexual marriage as a "constitutional right" in 2015.

It's all a process: First, unleash the sexual passions, and, eventually, a culture collapses and an empire is destroyed. But there are, of course, some steps in between, and one of those is the embrace of homosexuality, something which has become mainstream within so-called conservatism.

This needs to be said: At the heart of political conservatism today is a rejection of Catholicism. It's like the 1920s Know Nothing Party has resurrected, wrapped itself in the American flag and started beating up Catholics in dark alleys all over again.

This has come about for a huge number of reasons, but the driving force is that Protestantism, with its theologically untenable position of "make up your own Jesus," laid the dynamite for the destruction of not only political conservatism but most especially Catholicism.

The collapse of the Catholic Church in the United States is owing directly to its embrace of the Protestant heresy by Mass-going Catholics, beginning with the baby boomers. From there, it's been all downhill, both for politics and religion.

The Protestant heresy, American style, accepted birth control and divorce long before they became fashionable from sea to shining sea. But again, you open Pandora's sex box and it's "Nellie, bar the doors."

But for Catholics sitting in the pews, it wasn't just societal pressures from Protestant friends and workmates and their own passions that caused the collapse. It was pressure from the pulpit, where not just a sexual revolution happened, but a homosexual revolution had taken place a generation before.

It was Catholic clergymen, especially in the episcopate, who led the Catholic march toward mass acceptance of homosexuality — perverts in miters who dressed up acceptance of sodomy in the language of love and compassion and tolerance.

What they didn't say was they themselves were active homosexuals, some of whom were raping altar boys (but all promoting homosexuality behind the scenes in seminaries, religious houses, parishes, universities, you name it).

But to ensure that the evil advanced, candidates for priesthood were routinely screened to ensure they were either gay themselves or sufficiently weak men to not oppose it and go along with it. And once they mounted the pulpits, the propaganda flowed so much so that, according to multiple polls, of all Christian religious bodies, it was Catholics more than any others who accepted first civil unions, and then, eventually, sodomitic marriage.

Today, not only is homosexuality a well-established principle among Catholics and Protestants, it has become such among conservatives as well. In fact, conservatism has embraced the rainbow precisely because Christians did so first.

And Christians did because they couldn't resist the lure of unbridled sex. Today, every single noteworthy Protestant denomination accepts birth control, and most adopt the same attitude toward homosexuality. And that's officially — not just what some adherents believe personally.

In the world of Catholicism, a majority of the baptized accept all the same sexual sins introduced to them by Protestantism, in some ways, even more enthusiastically. But on the level of Church teaching, not only has it not happened, it can't.

Unlike Protestantism, which is man-made, all 40,000 variations of it, the Catholic Church was created by the Son of God — divinely constituted. Its members, like Judas, for example, can become corrupt; but it can never become so because of the protection afforded it by the Holy Spirit.

So here's the bottom line: Anyone who wants to engage in the political fight to preserve a culture, despite pretty long odds, needs to be Catholic (and not just like most Catholics today, but an authentic Catholic).

Catholicism built Western civilization. It was Protestantism that set the course for its destruction. And here we are today, having arrived at the logical conclusion of that centuries-long journey. Catholicism provides the unchallenged intellectual heft, the deep philosophical underpinnings and, most importantly, the grace from the sacraments to create saints.

The culture does not need "conservatism"; it needs Catholicism. Conservatives can't save the nation because conservatism doesn't possess what it needs to save. The conservative movement can't even save itself, much less a country. You cannot give what you do not have, and the conservative movement does not have what it pretends to have.

Self-described conservatives will not — cannot — save the nation. Saints will. And only the Catholic Church can produce saints, because only the Catholic Church has that ability, through the divine authority and power granted to it by the eternal Incarnate Logos.

Any movement, for good or ill, is destined to die if it does not comport fully with the will of God and His truth. This is true not just of movements, but of the individuals who comprise the movements. God is an all-or-nothing proposition — always has been, is, and always will be.

A people, a nation, a movement, a person can only survive to the extent this truth is embraced. Only saints can save a nation. And they will save it, if, in fact, it is the will of God that it be saved. But whether they are able to save the nation or not, they will save their souls, and that, we know, is the will of God.
