One Dishonest Demagogue Leaves, Another Dishonest Demagogue Enters, part one
Dishonest to his rotten core, the hollow cipher known as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., could not admit that he is too enfeebled to continue his re-election campaign against the man against whom he has unleashed an unprecedent campaign of lawfare, former President Donald John Trump. Biden cannot do much of anything without a teleprompter, and it is the case that even with that he still finds ways to mumble and slur his words into incoherence.
Unable to win the presidential nomination of the organized crime family of naturalism in the 1987-1988 election cycle because he plagiarized a speech given by Neil Kinnock, the Soviet apologist who was the leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, nor the twenty years later when he dropped out after a dismal finish in Iowa caucuses against United States Senators Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (D-Oak Park, Illinois, Little Rock, Arkansas, Chappaqua, New York) and Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro (D-Honolulu, Hawaii, Indonesia, Chicago, Illinois), Biden’s feckless career of dishonest demagoguery was revived by Obama/Soetoro, who elevated him to the vice presidency. The only reason that Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., was permitted to win the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2020 was that his handlers knew that they could use the so-called “pandemic” to hide him in the basement of his home in Delaware (you know, the one that nearly burned to the ground because of a toaster fire) and then create a Potemkin pseudo-presidency around him, who had sold what was left of his integrity, not that he had much of it to begin with, to United States Senator Bernard Sanders (D-Brooklyn, New York, Bennington, Vermont) to govern in a manner befitting the “hard left.”
Enabled by his second wife, Jill Stevenson Biden, whom he stole from his best friend, Bill Stevenson, President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., bitterly clung to power following his disastrous debate with former President Donald John Trump on Thursday, June 27, 2024, the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and only agreed to cease his campaign for re-election when the likes of United States Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York) and United States Representative Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi (D-People’s Republic of California) made it clear that the provisions of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America would be invoked to install Vice President Kamala Harris as Acting President. This was done not because Biden is senile, which he is, but because he was on the road to a massive landslide defeat at the hands of his predecessor, Donald John Trump. Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race was as dishonest as has been his entire career, built as it has been from the building on a fabric of lies and demagoguery.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., did not disappoint those who anointed him and then told him what to after he took office on January 20, 2021.
First, let it be stipulated that Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is a serial liar, a plagiarist, a demagogue, and a crook whose fundamental lack of moral character and his practice of amorality to advance his own pecuniary interests and to punish those who get in his way long ago disqualified him from serving in any office of public trust in the United States of America. Those who want to delve into the intricate details of his senility, corruption, duplicity, and manipulative use of the levers of justice to protect Sonny Biden and to put Donald John Trump behind prison bars for the rest of his life can read one or more of the following secular commentaries: Five Facts That Compel Biden Impeachment Inquiry, Can Democrats Thread the Needle on Biden's Lies?, Politicized FBI Means Impeaching Biden Is Only Way Forward, Impeaching Biden Is About Corruption - Not Revenge, No Evidence? 22 Examples of Joe Biden's Involvement, America Deserves Truth About Biden's Corrupt Schemes, Without Impeachment Inquiry, We May Never Get the Truth, What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Is Innocent, Joe Biden treatment of Merrick Garland shows he's just like Donald Trump, The seven biggest lies Biden told this week, President Pinocchio Joe is a truly terrible liar, All signs point to Joe Biden's corruption, Hunter Biden sold more than just an illusion, biz partners had direct access to Joe Biden while VP, Biden’s DOJ Is Where Justice Goes To Die, Impeaching Biden Is The Right Call, But Don’t Stop With Him, Rep. James Comer: Biden's Use Of Pseudonyms Shows He Was Most Corrupt Vice President In American History, The Biden crime family is our own reality-TV mafia show, Ignorant, pathetic Merrick Garland wilts on the hot seat, Feds thwarted probe into possible 'criminal violations' involving 2020 Biden campaign, agents say, and White House, Hunter Biden’s team keep shifting goalposts in denying dad’s involvement with businesses.
Second, to reiterate what I wrote in Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.'s., Ultimate Treason is Against Chorist the King, more than anything else, including his unjustified retention and sloppy storage of classified documents, the hubris which characterizes his management of foreign and military affairs, including his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan without any security provisions being made for our armed forces nor for the Afghani nationals who provided them with assistance in one form or another for two decades, his influence peddling that resulted in changes to American foreign policy, the role he has played in helping to create an inflationary spiral by shutting down the drilling for natural gas and oil, his use of the Department of Justice to indemnify Black Lives Matter militants, the harsh prosecutions waged against ordinary people who merely trespassed onto the grounds of or into the premises of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the relentless use of Federal force and prosecutorial efforts against peaceful pro-life advocates while at the same time shielding pro-abort zealots who have attacked crisis pregnancy centers from prosecution, the use of his Department of Justice against parents who have protested against the implementation of “critical race theory” and blatantly evangelistic curricula in support of the whole range of the sodomite agenda of perversity, including the mutilation of children, and his epic demagoguery, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., has been and continues to be unqualified to serve in any office of public trust principally because he supports sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, including his unapologetic support for the chemical and surgical execution of innocent preborn children and for everything desired by the shameless purveyors of the sin of Sodom and all of its ever-evolving mutations. Period. This alone would be grounds for a court-ordered rejection of a man’s qualification to be elected to any office and/or the grounds for immediate impeachment, conviction and subsequent removal from office if we lived in a world governed by right principles in accord with the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law.
Third, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is every bit as thin-skinned, vengeful as the man he hates with a burning passion and desires to have imprisoned for the rest of his life, Donald John Trump, as he rails about “saving democracy” by constantly lying about events in his own life and by seeking to crush the expression of dissenting voices by using the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Centers for Disease Control, and the members of his own White House staff to pressure social media companies to flag such dissent as “disinformation” that the Supreme Court of the United States of America recently upheld by claiming the victims of the government censorship lacked legal standing to bring their litigation. The incompetent octogenarian statist has readily done the bidding of those who whisper into his ear while being enabled by several Republican members of the United States Senate who simply do not care about their former longtime colleague’s assaults upon legitimate human liberties and his effort to ape former President Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro to ignore Article II of the United States Constitution by issuing executive orders and presidential directives and memorandum, especially concerning the “climate change” agenda, to accomplish administratively what would be impossible to get done through the cumbersome legislative process of which he was a part for thirty-seven long and very destructive years. Republicrats always protect their own and many look the other way as they stuff themselves at the most expensive restaurants in and around Washington, District of Columbia, caring not for a moment about the socialists’ efforts to curb toaster ovens, gas stoves (see Biden Administration’s Plans To Restrict Home Appliances Confirmed), ban incandescent light bulbs (see Biden admin begins enforcing nationwide lightbulb bans, igniting backlash from GOP: 'Liberal fantasies'), and other household products in the name of “saving” the planet. Many more have not said a word about this current administration’s failure to enforce just immigration laws (see The Tragic Results of Biden's Open Border), to secure the border, and to abuse the asylum process to let in anyone who walks across the border before receiving a “free and clear” pass to go anywhere they want and then, mysteriously, of course, wind up on voter rolls in states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, New Mexico, Texas, and North Carolina to stuff the ballot boxes even more than has been and will continue to be done by means of mail-in voting and automatic voter registration after one receives a state driver’s license or state-issued identification card, further rigging a system that has been rigged against Christ the King and his Catholic Church since July 4, 1776.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., has no personal integrity whatsoever. He showed himself ready to cave to the pro-aborts in the immediate aftermath of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the case of Roe v. Wade, January 22, 1973, and he has been for sale ever since. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is not a “well-meaning” elderly man. Biden is a calculating, mendacious demagogue who has long trafficked in taking credit for the work of others and in demonizing his opponents no matter how low he must stoop to do so. Here is a little review:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., fighting to salvage his Presidential campaign, today acknowledged ''a mistake'' in his youth, when he plagiarized a law review article for a paper he wrote in his first year at law school.
Mr. Biden insisted, however, that he had done nothing ''malevolent,'' that he had simply misunderstood the need to cite sources carefully. And he asserted that another controversy, concerning recent reports of his using material from others' speeches without attribution, was ''much ado about nothing.''
Mr. Biden, the 44-year-old Delaware Democrat who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, addressed these issues at the Capitol in a morning news conference he had called expressly for that purpose. The news conference was held just before he presided over the third day of hearings on the nomination of Judge Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court.
To buttress his assertions of sincerity and openness, Mr. Biden released a 65-page file, obtained by the Senator from the Syracuse University College of Law, that he said contained all the records of his years there. It disclosed relatively poor grades in college and law school, mixed evaluations from teachers and details of the plagiarism. (Biden Admits Plagiarism in School But Says It Was Not 'Malevolent'; see also Joseph Biden's Plagiarism.)
Nothing Biden does is ever “malevolent” or criminal. He is the victim of one “innocent” circumstance after another, or he made a “mistaken” or did something “stupid.” He never “intended” to do this or that, of course.
The plagiarism revelation was made public in September of 1987 after John Sasso, then the campaign manager for Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis's campaign to secure the 1988 presidential nomination of the Democratic Party, had aired an "attack video" that placed side-by-side, split-screen footage of speeches given by Neil Kinnock, the Trotskyite leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, and the then Senator Biden on foreign policy that were identical (here is a link to a compilation of news reports from 1987 about Biden’s legendary lies: Joe Biden's lies are legendary). Kinnock was then the leader of the Labour Party, which was out of power in the United Kingdom from May 4, 1979, to May 2, 1997, at which point the party, then led by Tony Blair, defeated the Conservative (or Tory) Party in the general elections, ousting Margaret Thatcher's successor, John Major, as prime minister. Biden and Kinnock were soulmates on matters of foreign policy.
Why not steal Kinnock's speech?
After all, it was "much ado about nothing."
Well, despite Biden's willingness to let his fellow pro-abortion Catholic, Edward Moore Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), to his bidding for him by demonizing United States Judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Judge Robert Bork during the latter's confirmation hearings in 1987 to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, he had to fold up his presidential aspirations for 1988 soon after the plagiarism became known, following the departure of former United States Senator Gary Hart (D-South Dakota), whose "monkey business" forced him out of the race on May 8, 1987 (he reentered seven months later principally to become eligible for Federal matching funds to pay off his campaign debt). The gaffe-prone Biden thought that he could win that presidential nomination he so coveted if he only waited a little while, having to settle for the vice presidency under Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro, a first-class demagogue in his own right, after in 2008 campaign fizzled out after receiving four percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses on January 3, 2008.
The loose-mouthed, foul-mouthed (see When "Boys Will Be Boys" They Grow Up to Be Men Like Joe Biden) was a walking demagogue throughout the course of his eight years as the nation's forty-seventh vice president. It was in 2011 that Biden accused House Republicans associated with the loosely organized Taxed Enough Already movement (TEA Party) of being "terrorists" for seeking to achieve significant cuts in Federal spending in exchange for the raising of the national debt ceiling. True to his lying self, Biden denied that he used the word terrorism:
Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists.”
Biden’s office initially declined to comment about what the vice president said inside the closed-door session, but after POLITICO published the remarks, spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said: “The word was used by several members of Congress. The vice president does not believe it’s an appropriate term in political discourse.”
Biden later denied he used that term in an interview with CBS.
“I did not use the terrorism word,” Biden told CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Scott Pelley.
Earlier in the day, Biden told Senate Democrats that Republican leaders have “guns to their heads” in trying to negotiate deals. (Joe Biden likened tea partiers to terrorists.)
Biden lies.
Biden denies that he lies.
He has used this same pattern of demagoguery and deceit throughout his entire life, including his repeatedly blaming a deceased truck driver for the death of his first wife and infant daughter in a traffic accident in 1972 even though she was at fault and the driver was never ticketed by the police or charged with any crime:
The worst moment of Joseph R. Biden’s life — the 1972 car crash that killed his wife and baby daughter — has drawn renewed attention over a falsehood that the former vice president repeated for years: that the other driver was drunk.
From 2001-07, Mr. Biden indicated at least twice that the tractor-trailer driver who hit his wife’s car had been drinking, even though the state official who oversaw the investigation and the driver’s daughter said that wasn’t true.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Pamela Hamill, the daughter of driver Curtis C. Dunn, called on Mr. Biden to apologize publicly after he told a crowd that her father “drank his lunch” before the accident, according to a 2008 article in the Newark [Delaware] Post.
“A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly and killed my daughter instantly and hospitalized my two sons,” Mr. Biden said in 2007.
In a 2001 speech at the University of Delaware, he referred to an “errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive” and “hit my children and my wife and killed them,” according to a 2008 report in NewsBusters, citing a 2001 “Inside Edition” report.
Mr. Biden apparently stopped making the claim after a burst of media attention.
In a January article in Politico, Ms. Hamill said that Mr. Biden called her to apologize following a 2009 CBS report on the discrepancy.
“He apologized for hurting my family in any way,” she said. “So we accepted that — and kind of end of story from there.”
Mr. Dunn, who died in 1999, hit the station wagon driven by 30-year-old Neilia Biden as she drove to buy a Christmas tree with the Bidens’ three young children: Beau, 4; Hunter, 3, and Naomi, 13 months.
The rig overturned as Mr. Dunn swerved to avoid the collision, but he “ran to the wrecked car and was the first to offer assistance,” the Post reported.
Now-retired Delaware Superior Court Judge Jerome O. Herlihy, who oversaw the investigation as chief deputy attorney general, told Politico, “She had a stop sign. The truck driver did not.”
In 2008, he told the Post that rumors about alcohol playing a role in the accident were “incorrect.”
This is awful. Did you know for years told people his wife and 13-month-old daughter were killed by a drunk driver, when in fact the accident was tragically her fault. The truck driver was haunted by the accident until he died — Rosie memos (@almostjingo)
Townhall’s Guy Benson called the vice president’s inaccurate references to drinking, which first appeared in 2001, “bizarre and disturbing.”
“The whole situation is sad enough, why embellish it with what amounts to be an unsupported smear of a man who — according to the authorities — was not drunk, did not cause the accident, and immediately sought to ‘render assistance’ to the victims?” asked Mr. Benson in a Thursday op-ed.
An extremely difficult and sensitive topic to cover.
Whoa: Did Joe Biden Falsely Smear the Truck Driver Involved in the Car Crash That Killed His First Wife and Daughter?
Joe Biden Lied for Years about the Car Accident that Claimed the Life of his Wife and Daughter
Mr. Biden, a 2020 Democratic presidential primary front-runner, has been criticized for embellishing his speeches with exaggerations and inaccuracies, such as his claim that he met with Parkland students at the White House after the 2018 shooting, even though he left office in January 2017.
RedState’s Elizabeth Vaughn said Mr. Biden’s “mischaracterization of this accident doesn’t surprise me.”
“It’s part of a pattern of behavior that we’ve come to associate with Biden,” she said in a Thursday post. “He has a history of embellishing events which have occurred and occasionally inventing entire stories out of whole cloth if it serves his purpose. Put another way, this man’s word is not to be trusted.”
The Biden boys recovered from injuries sustained in the crash, which happened six weeks after Mr. Biden was elected to his first term in the Senate. Beau Biden died in 2015 of cancer.
In the 2008 article, Ms. Hamill said she worried that without a Biden rebuttal, the “drunk driver” angle could eventually take root in the public narrative. The claim had already appeared in several articles about Mr. Biden leading up to the election.
“Suppose he becomes the next vice president,” she told the Post. “Movies could be made about him and books could be written about him, all falsely portraying my father as a drunk driver. We need to set the record straight and clear my father’s name right now before this goes any further.” (Joe Biden's false claim about drunken driver draws renewed scrutiny.)
I, for one, am amazed that anyone finds the pro-abort, pro-perversity, pro-open border, pro-everything bad grafter Biden’s mendacious behavior in the White House to be in any way extraordinary. The man has lived his entire life lying with impunity, and he is also a greedy, slimy, transparent crook as well:
Crooks lie.
Crooks lie all the time.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is a thief, a crook, a bum, a deranged demagogue, a thug, and an enabler of George Soros-sponsored harassment of Democratic Party opponents, including United States Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-Arizona) and Joseph Manchin (D-West Virginia), of his $3.5 trillion budget and $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill (see George Soros-Linked Group Behind Public Harassment of Kyrsten Sinema).
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.’s, lies are indeed legendary, but perhaps more legendary is his hypocrisy when he becomes righteous in the condemnation of others for the “mistakes” or “stupid things” he has done. Consider how he personally blocked the confirmation of President James Earl “The Appeaser” Carter, Jr.’s., nominee for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, former John Fitzgerald Kennedy speechwriter and hagiographer Theodore Sorensen, back forty-six years ago:
Joe Biden reportedly played an integral role in then-President Jimmy Carter withdrawing his selection to lead the CIA during the late 1970s — over the apparent mishandling of classified documents.
In 1977, the first full year of Carter's tenure as commander-in-chief, American lawyer Ted Sorensen never got past the Senate confirmation process, largely stemming from his question-and-answer session with Biden, then a U.S. senator from Delaware.
According to Fox News, Sorensen admitted to taking boxes of classified records home with him after leaving the White House in 1964 — after working for the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy Jr. and Lyndon B. Johnson — as a means of using certain materials for a Kennedy biography.
Around that time, Democrat Biden aligned with Senate Republicans to block Sorensen from being confirmed by the chamber.
Biden also suggested Sorensen may have violated the Espionage Act of 1917, according to Fox News.
During the Senate confirmation hearing, Biden seemingly mocked Sorensen for "carelessly" ignoring the laws pertaining to possessing classified materials.
"If [Sorenson] did so, can he now bring the activities of the intelligence community within the strict limits of the law?" Biden rhetorically asked then. "We will expect that in the future of intelligence agencies. If that is to be the case, then we must hold the director ... accountable as well."
Shortly after being grilled on Capitol Hill, Sorensen didn't contest Carter's withdrawn nomination.
However, according to a Washington Post report from 1977, the embattled former White House staffer noted his "handling of classified information was at all times in accordance with the then-existing laws, regulations and practices."
Fast forward to the present: As the current president, Biden has expressed no public remorse for batches of classified materials being discovered either at his Washington, D.C., office (the Penn Biden Center) or his Delaware home — from a time when Biden was vice president, a position that holds no powers of declassifying top-secret government documents.
And as Newsmax chronicled Thursday, some Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns about the information from a recent Washington Post report, suggesting the White House and DOJ had previously agreed to obscure President Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents from public view — at least before CBS News contacted the White House about the first batch of improperly stored sensitive documents.
The White House, which has been accused of shielding the press from access to DOJ representatives, maintains that it will continue to cooperate with federal agencies, including Attorney General Merrick Garland's special counsel appointment Robert Hur. (Biden Thwarted CIA Director Pick in 1977 Over Classified Docs Scandal.)
Biden lies.
Biden denies that he lies, and this is what his own advisors have been doing for four years by denying that the “big guy” is in a state of cognitive decline.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., also played his role as a consummate demagogue when he ran for re-election as vice president of the United States of America in 2008 against the neoconservative war hawk and pro-life equivocator known as Paul Davis Ryan, then a member of the United States House of Representatives from the State of Wisconsin.
Biden: My religion defines who I am, and I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life. And has particularly informed my social doctrine. The Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who -- who can't take care of themselves, people who need help. With regard to -- with regard to abortion, I accept my church's position on abortion as a -- what we call a (inaudible) doctrine. Life begins at conception in the church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life.
But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews, and I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the -- the congressman. I -- I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people that -- women they can't control their body. It's a decision between them and their doctor. In my view and the Supreme Court, I'm not going to interfere with that. With regard to the assault on the Catholic church, let me make it absolutely clear, no religious institution, Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic Social Services, Georgetown Hospital, Mercy Hospital, any hospital, none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. (Transcript of the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky, on Thursday, October 11, 2012 the Feast of the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.)
This is what I wrote at the time nearly twelve years ago:
Guess what, Joe? It is not the Catholic Church that teaches life begins at conception. This is a matter of simple biology that even some of the pagans of yore understood very well. The Catholic Church simply teaches that there can be no instance in which an innocent human life may be directly targeted for assault or execution as the primary end of a moral act. Period.
Admitting that the rump moderator, Martha Raddatz of the American Broadcasting Company propaganda and disinformation division, rarely permitted United States Representative Paul Davis Ryan (R-Wisconsin) an opportunity to elaborate on his remarks, and acknowledging as well Biden's demagogic tactics, which were truly beneath the dignity of one who bears on his immortal soul the indelible seal of Baptism on his soul as a member of the Catholic Church, it is nevertheless the case that Ryan let Biden get away with the "personally opposed" canard when the rejoinder to this callow excuse had been provided to us by Pope Leo XIII nearly one hundred twenty-seven years before:
Hence, lest concord be broken by rash charges, let this be understood by all, that the integrity of Catholic faith cannot be reconciled with opinions verging on naturalism or rationalism, the essence of which is utterly to do away with Christian institutions and to install in society the supremacy of man to the exclusion of God. Further, it is unlawful to follow one line of conduct in private life and another in public, respecting privately the authority of the Church, but publicly rejecting it; for this would amount to joining together good and evil, and to putting man in conflict with himself; whereas he ought always to be consistent, and never in the least point nor in any condition of life to swerve from Christian virtue. (Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885.)
Can you imagine someone saying that he is "personally opposed to the extermination of Jews" but that he could not "impose" his concept of morality upon others?
Can you imagine someone saying that he is "personally opposed to chattel slavery" but that he could not "impose" his concept of morality upon others?
Can you imagine someone saying that he is "personally opposed to invidious racial segregation and discrimination" under cover of civil law but that he could not "impose" his concept of morality upon others.
People who made such a bifurcation on the killing of Jews (or any other set of innocent human beings) or on chattel slavery or on racial segregation and discrimination would be denounced for their hypocrisy and cowardice. It is, however, "acceptable" in the modern civil state, including in the United States of America, to support the extermination of innocent human beings in their mothers' wombs under cover of the civil law by chemical and surgical means. Those who bifurcate their "personal" beliefs from their public policy positions in this instance are hailed as "freethinkers" who are acting within the dictates of their "informed consciences."
End of discussion. Morality is not a matter of our personal "concepts." The morality of human acts is a matter of objective truth found in the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law. It is no more "imposed" upon others than are the laws of nature that govern our bodies. Moral truths exist. They are part of the nature of things. While human beings may disagree as to the specific penalties that the civil law may impose upon those found guilty after due process of law of committing heinous crimes in violation of the precepts contained in the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law, they cannot "disagree" what what is contained within those precepts any more than they can "disagree" about the binding nature of the law of gravity.
Moral truths exist. One either adheres to them and realizes the benefits of a well-ordered life or violates them and reaps the bitter harvest of discord and chaos in one's immortal soul and in the larger life of one's nation. The sloganeering of the modern world, a fruit of the illogic of Protestantism and the naturalism of Judeo-Masonry, a harkening back to the Sophism of ancient Athens in the Fifth Century before the coming of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is no substitute for natural reason and it is no substitute for the truths contained in the Deposit of Faith that have been entrusted by this Divine Redeemer to His true Church for their eternal safekeeping and infallible explication.
Never one for letting facts get in the way his narrative, the consummate attack dog demagogue sought to misrepresent the facts about the Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetero-Kathleen Sebelius mandate that requires all employers, including those affiliated with religious institutions, to provide health insurance for contraception and other family planning services, when he said the following in an exchange with Ryan, who brought up the subject without specifically laying out what the terms of the mandate included:
With regard to the assault on the Catholic church, let me make it absolutely clear, no religious institution, Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic Social Services, Georgetown Hospital, Mercy Hospital, any hospital, none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. ((Transcript of the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky, on Thursday, October 11, 2012 the Feast of the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.)
This falsehood, which Paul Davis Ryan called out as such when he asked Biden why would they [the institutions named by Biden in his answer] keep suing you?", was answered by a statement issued by the so-called United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:
This is not a fact. The HHS mandate contains a narrow, four-part exemption for certain "religious employers." That exemption was made final in February and does not extend to "Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital," or any other religious charity that offers its services to all, regardless of the faith of those served.
HHS has proposed an additional "accommodation" for religious organizations like these, which HHS itself describes as "non-exempt." That proposal does not even potentially relieve these organizations from the obligation "to pay for contraception" and "to be a vehicle to get contraception." They will have to serve as a vehicle, because they will still be forced to provide their employees with health coverage, and that coverage will still have to include sterilization, contraception, and abortifacients. They will have to pay for these things, because the premiums that the organizations (and their employees) are required to pay will still be applied, along with other funds, to cover the cost of these drugs and surgeries.
USCCB continues to urge HHS, in the strongest possible terms, actually to eliminate the various infringements on religious freedom imposed by the mandate. (USCCB Responds To Inaccurate Statement Of Fact On HHS Mandate Made During Vice Presidential Debate.)
This in and of itself is a work of apostasy as the conciliar "bishops" oppose the health insurance mandate to provide coverage for contraception and other "family planning" services on the grounds of the heresy of "religious liberty," making no mention at all about how contraception is intrinsically evil and can never be sanctioned by the civil government for any reason whatsoever.
Mind you, I am not referring to the legal arguments put forth by the attorneys suing the United States Department of Health and Services. I am referring to the fact that the likes of Timothy Michael "Cardinal" Dolan, the conciliar "archbishop" of New York and the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has gone out of his way to state repeatedly that the issue does not concern contraception, only an infringement upon the very heresy that made inevitable the likes of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetero, religious liberty," which was near and dear to the hearts of true bishops of this country from its earliest days and that, having been embraced by the "Second" Vatican Council and made a cornerstone of the "magisterium" of the conciliar "popes," has made it possible for the public careers of Catholics such as Kathleen Sebelius and Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., to thrive. And it is those very same conciliar "bishops" who support ObamaCare as a matter of principle even though it is a violation of the Natural Law principle of subsidiarity and who will denounce any efforts by a nascent Willard Mitt Romney-Paul Davis Ryan administration to reverse it.
The conciliar "bishops" have only themselves to blame for the likes Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., who has been enabled by them for the past forty years as he had mouthed the "personally opposed" platitude and waxed on and on and on and on how how he supports "social programs" that are violations of the principle of subsidiarity and that in no way any part of the authentic social teaching of the Catholic Church. Biden has continued his gratuitous claims about being a "good Catholic" even though he has met personally with two conciliar "popes," Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI (see Just A Personal Visit). Then again, maybe they told him that he was.
Paul Davis Ryan has been shaped by conciliarism and thus knows almost next-to-nothing about the authentic patrimony of the Catholic Church, including the statements and encyclicals of Popes Pius VI and VIII, Pope Leo XII, Pope Gregory XVI, Pope Pius IX, Pope Leo XIII, Pope Saint Pius X, Pope Benedict XV, and Popes Pius XI and XII. He does not. therefore, have ready ways to illustrate that Biden is an apostate.
Moreover, Ryan, shaped by conciliarspeak, and prepared to say what his handlers in Boston, Massachusetts have told him will "work" with the "moderate" voters in the various "swing" states, wanted to make sure to pull at the heartstrings when he could have done this an said quite simply, " The exchange between Biden and Ryan on abortion could have been ended effectively with the latter saying to the former, "Joe, I don't know about you. However, 'Thou shalt not kill' means something to me. No human being on earth can make this Commandment go away or lose its binding force."
Ah, such are not the ways of those who live and die by the focus groups. And it is awfully difficult for a man who believes that there are instances when innocent babies can be targeted for execution directly in order to "save the lives" of their mothers to refer to the binding precepts of the Fifth Commandment when he does not know what they are and how they apply in concrete circumstances. Paul Davis Ryan is yet another victim of conciliarism and conciliarspeak.
Making Up "Stuff"
Although Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., accused Paul Davis Ryan of making up "a bunch of stuff," it was Biden who earned Pinocchio noses aplenty during the Thursday Night at the Nights fracas three days ago now. He's still do doing so on the campaign trail, claiming yesterday that the largest single killer of babies in the United States of America today, Planned Parenthood, "under law can’t perform any abortions" (see BuzzFeed for the video of Biden's remarks). That is misleading at worst and, at best, is a woeful ignorance of fact on Biden's part, neither of which, of course, is unknown in the life of this plagiarist and demagogue. Even the Obama White House had to issue a statement to "clarify" yet another Biden "misstatement" of fact, explaining that what the boorish lout meant to say was the Federal law prohibits Planned Parenthood and similar organizations from killing babies with taxpayer funds. Biden is the great "stuff-maker-up," perhaps exceeding if this is possible, caesar himself.
Biden made "stuff up" about his administration's response to the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday, September 11, 2012., that killed American ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans as he, Biden stuck to the Obama fantasy that the attack was not premeditated but a "spontaneous" response to a trailer for a little known motion picture, Innocence of Muslims, that is said to offend the false "prophet" and mass murderer named Mohammed. Biden dug himself a deeper hole by claiming stubbornly that Obama had based his information on what had been provided to him by the "intelligence community" even though this is patently false as intelligence officials before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the United States House of Representatives have testified that they knew within twenty-four hours that the attack was premeditated. The White House knew as well.
I would have said the following by way of response that Paul Davis Ryan would never have dreamt of saying as he is a full-bore supporter of the "global war on terror" and a reflexive supporter of the murderous policies of the State of Israel:
The government of the United States of America had no business placing its personnel in Benghazi, Libya, if it could provide for their safety. Once again, you see, we are dealing with an administration that is pathologically incapable of putting these two words together or even admit that they exist, "Mohammedan terrorism."
Ah, you see, admitting that Mohammedans have been killing Catholics and other Christians since the start of this false religion by a penultimate blasphemer in his own right, the false prophet Mohammed, who has been praised so lavishly by President Barack Hussein Obama, at the beginning of the Seventh Century A.D., they are doing so now in response to this country's support for the persecution of Arabs by the State of Israel and for this country's unjust, immoral wars on the soil of their countries that have resulted in the deaths of scores upon scores of innocent civilians.
You want to see Mohammedan terrorism stop? Fine.
Get out of Libya, where we never belonged--and into which country John Sidney McCain III advocated the placing of ground stoops.
Get every American out of Iraq, which has been a a moral, economic and geopolitical disaster from beginning to end that has not only killed thousands of innocent Iraqis and reignited section and religious conflicts that were more or less kept in check by Saddam Hussein to flare in the open again, something that has resulted in untold violence against Catholics and other Christians there. Large numbers of Chaldean Rite Catholics have fled from their native land permanently.
Get every American of the trap that has been remains Afghanistan. How many more lives and how much more money must be spent to prop up the Bag Man in a Karakul Hat, Hamid Karzai, and to try to succeed at the imperialistic exercise of social engineering called "nation-building" that the British and the Soviets attempted and failed to do in the past?
Stay out of Syria.
Iran? So what if they develop a nuclear weapon? So what? Lots of countries have nuclear weapons today? Vladimir Putin would never permit the United States of America to attack Iran absent an imminent threat to this country. The leaders of Israel would do so at their own peril and without the help--military or financial--of the United States of America.
Violence abounds in a world where Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is not King over men and their nations. You want true prosperity at home and peace abroad?
Stop promoting under cover of the civil law and as a matter of "human rights" that which is repugnant to the peace and happiness of eternity.
Start pursuing the common temporal good in light of the pursuit of man's Last End, the possession of the glory of the Beatific Vision of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity in Heaven.
It is up to the Catholic Church to seek with urgency the unconditional conversion of all men to the true Faith as it is this Holy Faith is the necessary precondition, although not, to be sure, an infallible guarantor, of order within the souls of men and order among men in their own nations and with the other nations of the world. That this has not been done in the past fifty years as a false church has made its "reconciliation" with the very principles of Modernity that have been at the proximate source of our domestic and international problems today is one of the chief consequences of the failure to heed Our Lady's Fatima Message.
The errors of Russia that envelop us are not going to be ended with empty words or new programs or more profligate spending on those programs.
The errors of Russia that envelop us are not going to be ended with half-measures and carefully-crafted messages designed not to "offend" "undecided" voters in "swing" states.
The errors of Russia that have helped to produce a world of violence and deceit and statism can be stopped only if we stop offending God and listen to our Heavenly Mother, who is the patroness of this country under the title of her Immaculate Conception and of the Americas under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Pray the Rosary. Make reparation for one's sins. Pray and work for the conversion of ourselves and our fellow men. Recognize naturalism for what it is, the Pelagian belief that we are self-redemptive and that we can, therefore, "will" ourselves out of whatever problems we face in our own lives an collectively as a nation.
Viva Cristo Rey!
As to the domestic policy issues discussed in the Biden-Ryan debate, there is no need to repeat what was written in Ugh!, which was posted ten days ago now after the first debate between Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetero and Willard Mitt Romney.
There is no electoral means to retard the natural, logical, inexorable degeneration of a nation founded on false premises. There is no electoral means to retard the embrace of the most extreme forces of the "leftist" brand of naturalism by the counterfeit church of conciliarism, whose apostasies have produced "Catholics" ignorant of the Faith and almost totally supportive of all manner of moral evils. (From: Thursday Night At The Fights.)
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., has always been a craven demagogue, opportunist, and unprincipled man who makes up his mind, such as it is now or has ever been, according to what is politically expedient to whatever constitutes the core constituency of the organized crime family of the naturalist "left" throughout his career. His four pathetic years as President in Name Only of the United States of America have provided those who control him with an opportunity to govern as far to the left as they could, and that has been pretty far left indeed.
Unlike the unprincipled serial plagiarist, liar, demagogue from Delaware who was always ready to get a cut for the “big guy,’ namely, himself, of course, from his son Hunter’s influence peddling with Ukrainian, Russia, and Red Chinese “businessmen,” Vice President Kamala Harris is a very committed leftist and has been so throughout the course of her career as a ready of Planned Barrenhood, “Black Lives Matter,” and governmental control of legitimate free speech and of private property. As I have noted so many times before, however, one demagogue of a devil leaves, another one enters.
Nothing can ever change legitimately for the better in a nation based on false principles that make no room for Christ the King and His true Church but leaves plenty of room for the adversary and his promotion of sin under cover of the civil law and its celebration in every nook and cranny of popular culture. Sin is a slavery to the devil, and a nation whose people are steeped in unrepented sins must degenerate over time into a enslavement to a civil state that sees itself as the true secular church whose “infallible” pronouncements must be obeyed without question and whose edicts must be accepted without complaint.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is an end product of Modernity’s confusion of ideas that leaves no place for Christ the King and His true Church in the lives of nations and even, sadly, in the lives of so many people who consider themselves “good” Catholics even though they support evils that cry out to Heaven for vengeance and suborn extortive acts to shake down oligarchs no matter what it might cost their country as long as it enriches their own coffers by means of dummy bank accounts and shell corporations based in the “First State,” Delaware, a place where he had stored classified documents in a garage next to a Corvette, of course.
Although there are untold numbers of Catholic parents who, despite their best efforts after having given their children all the benefits of the Holy Faith, are suffering today in the pattern of Saint Monica herself, there are, most unfortunately, millions upon millions more who treat their grown children as demigods who must be pampered, enabled, and abetted at every turn no matter what they say, what they do, how they act, or who they hurt. No parent, however including Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, and his wife, Dr. Jill Tracy Jacobs Stevenson Biden, who has been so bold as to wear Rosary beads around her neck while promoting baby-killing in Africa, where so many unsuspecting women have been sterilized by means of “vaccines” imported from the West, has anything other but the empty love of sentimentality for his children if he or she does or says anything that impedes their salvation of their souls by reaffirming them in lives of debauched sin and debauched hedonism; and, similarly no parent has any true love for his children if he omits to do or say anything that could dissuade them from displeasing God by Moral Sin and thus risk perishing in the eternal flames of hell described so vividly by Saint Alphonsus de Ligouri:
13. The reprobate shall be likewise tormented by the stench which pervades hell. The stench shall arise from the very bodies of the damned. “Out of their carcasses shall arise a stink.” (Isaiah 34:3). The bodies of the damned are called carcasses, not because they are dead (for they are living, and shall be forever alive to pain), but on account of the stench which they exhale. Would it not be very painful to be shut up in a close room with a fetid corpse? St. Bonaventure says, that if the body of one of the damned were placed in the earth, it would, by its stench, be sufficient to cause the death of all men. How intolerable, then, must it be to live forever in the dungeons of hell in the midst of the immense multitudes of the damned! Some foolish worldlings say, If I go to hell, I shall not be there alone. Miserable fools! do you not see that the greater the number of your companions, the more insufferable shall be your torments? “There,” says St. Thomas, “the society of the reprobate shall cause an increase and not a diminution of misery.” (Suppl., q. 86, art. 1). The society of the reprobate augments their misery, because each of the damned is a source of suffering to all the others. Hence, the greater their number, the more they shall mutually torment each other. “And the people,” says the prophet Isaias, “shall be ashes after a fire, as a bundle of thorns they shall be burnt with fire.” (Is. 33:12). Placed in the midst of the furnace of hell, the damned are like so many grains reduced to ashes by that abyss of fire, and like so many thorns tied together and wounding each other.
14. They are tormented not only by the stench of their companions, but also by their shrieks and lament. How painful it is to a person longing for sleep to hear the groans of a sick man, the barking of a dog, or the screams of an infant. The damned must listen incessantly to the wailing and howling of their associates, not for a night, nor for a thousand nights, but for all eternity, without the interruption of a single moment.
15. The damned are also tormented by the narrowness of the place in which they are confined; for, although the dungeon of hell is large, it will be too small for so many millions of the reprobate, who like sheep shall be heaped one over the other. “They are,” says David, “laid in hell like sheep.” (Ps. 38:15). We learn from the Scriptures that they shall be pressed together like grapes in the winepress, by the vengeance of an angry God. “The winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.” (Rev. 19:15). From this pressure shall arise the pain of immobility. “Let them become unmovable as a stone.” (Ex. 16:16). In whatever position the damned shall fall into hell after the general judgment, whether on the side, or on the back, or with the head downwards, in that they must remain for eternity, without being ever able to move foot or hand or finger, as long as God shall be God. In a word, St. Chrysostom says, that all the pains of this life, however great they may be, are scarcely a shadow of the torments of the damned. “Hæc omnia ludicra sunt et risus ad ilia supplicia, pone ignem, ferrum, et bestias, attamen vix umbra sunt ad ilia tormenta.” (Hom, xxxix. ad pop. Ant).
16. The reprobate, then, shall be tormented in all the senses of the body. They shall also be tormented in all the powers of the soul. Their memory shall be tormented by the remembrance of the years which they had received from God for the salvation of their souls, and which they spent in laboring for their own damnation; by the remembrance of so many graces and so many divine lights which they abused. Their understanding shall be tormented by the knowledge of the great happiness which they forfeited in losing their souls, Heaven, and God; and by a conviction that this loss is irreparable. Their will shall be tormented by seeing that whatsoever they ask or desire shall be refused. “The desire of the wicked shall perish.”(Ps. 111:10). They shall never have any of those things for which they wish, and must forever suffer all that is repugnant to their will. They would wish to escape from these torments and to find peace; but in these torments they must forever remain, and peace they shall never enjoy.
17. Perhaps they may sometimes receive a little comfort, or at least enjoy occasional repose? No, says Cyprian, “Nullum ibi refrigerium, nullum remedium, atque ita omni tormento atrocius desperatio.” (Serm. de Ascens). In this life, how great soever may be the tribulations which we suffer, there is always some relief or interruption. The damned must remain forever in a pit of fire, always in torture, always weeping, without ever enjoying a moment’s repose. But perhaps there is someone to pity their sufferings? At the very time that they are so much afflicted the devils continually reproach them with the sins for which they are tormented, saying, Suffer, burn, live forever in despair, you yourselves have been the cause of your destruction. And do not the saints, the divine mother, and God, who is called the Father of Mercies, take compassion on their miseries? No; "the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from Heaven.” (Matt. 26:29). The saints, represented by the stars, not only do not pity the damned, but they even rejoice in the vengeance inflicted on the injuries offered to their God. Neither can the divine mother pity them, because they hate her Son. And Jesus Christ, who died for the love of them, cannot pity them, because they have despised his love, and have voluntarily brought themselves to perdition. (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, “On the Pains of Hell,” Sermon for the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany, The Sermons of St. Alphonsus Liguori For All the Sundays of the Year, published originally in 1852 and photographically reproduced by TAN Books and Publisher in 1982, pp. 93-95. The entire sermon is appended below.)
Yes, far more serious charges await us all at the Particular Judgment than can ever be rendered here on this face of this earth, which is why we must have recourse to the tender mercies of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus by making regular use of the Sacrament of Penance.
Our sins caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer unspeakable horrors in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death and they caused Our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart to be pierced through and through with those Seven Swords of Sorrow, four of which were plunged deep into that same Immaculate Heart during her Divine Son's Passion and Death. We must be punished because of our own sins, and it is important for us to remember that even though the Biden Family Crime Syndicate will not escape scrutiny if its members and beneficiaries persist in their moral and financial crimes until they die, the reality is we are more responsible for the foul state of the world and of the Church Militant on earth than we realize or would like to admit.
The worst kind of slavery is slavery to Original Sin, wherein one's soul is captive to the devil and thus blinded from seeing the world clearly and whose disorderly passions are even more inclined to act in accord with the spur of the moment rather than in accord with even natural reason.
Fallen human nature is such, however, that even the baptized vie with each in acts to aggrandize themselves, their power, and their fame while seeking to escape all just punishment in this life. Men who fall into the habit of persisting in and multiplying unrepentant Mortal Sins, blind themselves voluntarily as they seek after everything but the Catholic Faith as the means to guide their lives, being content to remain in slavery to devil, whether by means Original Sin or Mortal Sin, as they heap up riches, power, and influence in this life in the belief that this is the singular and all-defining purpose of human existence justifying whatever means are employed to obtained monetary wealth and/or worldly power.
The insanity and madness of Modernity that is supposed to produce "happiness" in this mortal vale of tears winds up producing anxiety and fear and misery and sadness.
This is the time of Antichrist, who has many figures walking abroad amid the lords of Modernity in the world and the lords of Modernism in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. We must simply endeavor to remain faithful to the very end.
These words from the book that inspired fourteen-year-old Therese Martin to seek admission the Carmel of Lisieux are rather pertinent:
However, it would not be correct to conclude from this testimony that there will be none of the elect left on earth, and that the Son of God will not fail to keep the promise made to His Church, when He sid, Propter electos, dies breviabuntur ("because of the elect, the days will be shortened"). Moreover, St. John, in his [Apocalypse] adds, "And he [the beast] will be worshiped by those who dwell upon the earth whose names are not written in the book of life."
St. Augustine tells us that, in the reign of the Antichrist, thee will be multitudes of martyrs who will display a heroic constancy, and also a number, more or less large, of confessors who will manage to escape into caves and high or sheer mountains, and God will see to it that these sanctuaries shall elude the vigilance and investigations of the persecutors, and will not permit the Devil to point them out them.
Daniel tells us that, at the time of when this terrible persecution breaks out, the abomination of desolation will openly sit enthroned in the holy place. "The king shall do s he pleases," says Daniel. "He shall exalt himself and make himself greater than any god; he shall utter dreadful blasphemies against the God of god . . . He shall have no regard for the gods of his ancestors . . . for no good shall he have regard."
In other words, once the man of sin has cowed the human once by his threats and entangled it in the meshes of his lies and wiles, he will observe no restraint, show his hand, and act openly. He will not permit anyone to worship or invoke any other god than himself, and will proclaim himself sole lord of heaven and earth. Wherever he is not present in person, men will be obliged to pay homage to his image or statue. Et elevabitur, mangifcabitur adversus ominem Deum. He will tolerate neither the Mosaic religion, nor natural religion itself. He will persecute with equal thoroughness Jews, schismatics, heretics, deists, and every sect that recognizes the existence of a supreme being and the immortality of the life to come. Yet God, in His wisdom, will draw good from evil. The horrible tempest that His justice has allowed to be unleashed upon the earth will result in the disappearance of false religions. Along with Judaism, it will abolish the remains of Mohammedans, idolatrous superstitious, and every religion hostile to the Church.
It will deal the finishing blow to the sects of darkness. Freemasonry, Carbonarism, Illuminism, and all subversive societies will vanish in the vortex of wickedness which will be their work, and which they had prepared for centuries in the belief that it would be their definitive, supreme triumph. They will have assisted unintentionally in the establishment of the reign of unity foretold by our Lord: "There one flock then, and one shepherd."
The triumph of the wicked one will be of short duration, but the consolations that follow will be universal, abundant, proportionate to the extent of the tribulations to the Church will have suffered.
However, the final consummation will not come yet, as it is written:
And when the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and loud voices in heaven cried out; the voices of angels and of virgins, together with the voices of confessors and holy martyrs, will hail Christ with praise and acclamations, giving thanks for His victory over the Antichrist, and for the extermination of the wicked. All men, now become worshipers of one and the same God, all professing the same faith, united in the same adoration, sharing the same table, will exclaim in chorus: "The kingdom of this world now belongs our Lord and to his Anointed One . . . We praise you, O Lord God Almighty, who is and who was and who are to come; because You have assumed your great power, and You have begun Your reign. (Father Charles Arminjon, The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life, translated by Susan Conroy and Peter McEnerny. Manchester, New Hampshire: Sophia Institute Press, 2008, pp. 67-68.)
Perhaps the octogenarian in the White House will read Father Arminjon’s words one day and be converted away from his life of perdition, demagoguery, deceit, and the full use of the levers of state-sponsored injustice against his political opponents. We must pity his fate if does not convert and stop his indemnification and celebration of sin in his own life and protecting it under the cover of the civil law while persecuting those who call sin by its proper name and recognize that sanctity, not sin, is the only basis of a just social order.
We, for our part, must remember that our weapon in these times of the open promotion of sin is Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary.
Pray the Rosary.
Pray the Rosary.
Pray the Rosary.
We must enfold ourselves into the love of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus as we make reparation for our own many sins, which are so responsible for the worsening of the state of the Church Militant on earth and of the world-at-large, as we seek to restore all things in Christ the King and Mary our Immaculate Queen.
The enemies of Christ the King within in our souls and in the world-at-large will be defeated by Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary and the Triumph of her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.
