The better to shoot the targets they have placed there. The supernatural element of the Church is clear, as a merely human organization would not survive a generation with this type of knavery.
The Clergy Always Has Our Backs
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
I suspect that about 1/3 of them are no good and another 1/3 are of mixed or indifferent quality. It wasn’t that way 60 years ago. An unhappy age we live in.
Here is what the average person believes about the Church:
Throughout most of its history the Catholic Church was an organization that tried to destroy science and brutally control the thoughts of society. When it came to the new world, it gleefully helped out in the oppression of the natives and gave tacit approval to slavery. It was completely racist (I’ve even heard multiple people say that Catholics were behind the KKK).
Now the Catholic Church may have fixed some of its old problems, but it still openly supports pedophile priests, doesn’t care at all about the poor, and would like to stone homosexuals and other sinners to death.
None of this is accurate, of course, but thanks to various media portrayals, that’s what the average person thinks about the Catholic Church.
And there are somehow still priests and bishops that think that this mob won’t target Catholic Churches, statues, priests, etc.?
Fr. Bill is himself making a slippery slope argument, i.e., OK to pull down “some statues”.
A.K.A. Father Divisive.
In 1776, our forefathers . . . . established a system of government wherein disputes were [note past tense] decided by the popular vote.
Now, a mob [99.4% crazy people, criminals, idiots] in league with the lying media, the [Indoctrination Central] academia, the treasonous Democrat party, the CCP, et al rule we the people.
“It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce people to ignorance and vice.” Samuel Adams.
“For decades they only taught Marxist catch-phrases, irrelevant political tirades, liberal gibberish, and propaganda that America is all and only evil, not real culture or History. No wonder we have the youth we have: illiterate, miseducated, misinformed, and socialist. They won’t or can’t read, or cannot deductively reason and understand documents like the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Word of God, the things that our nation is structured upon and founded upon; and in that way, then, the elite can do what they want with the useful idiots.”
Amazing. The silence among our religious leaders is only slightly better than those who have jumped on board with the revolutionaries. And we thought they would stand firm. Silly us.
I’ve said it before: every slippery slope I derided in my youth has turned out to be a triple black diamond with an overhanging cornice. I thank God that he is a God of mercy.
While truly rational clergy get fired:

Fr. Daniel Moloney was a staff editor at First Things about 20 years ago. He entered a graduate program and I had the impression that in subsequent years he wrote for the publications favored by the church-o-cracy like Commonweal. On the list of people I despise is Sean Patrick O’Malley.
Here is a link to his blog:

I have 1 simple rule for judging a slippery slope: Does it have rules? Does this movement, etc have a rule on when it is finished and the revolution is over? Does it have rules on engaging a target and when to cease?
If it does not, if boundaries are not clearly established, then it will absolutely go off the slippery slope and wreck everything, without fail.
Trust nobody that can’t tell you when they have won.
A problem that has long plagued the right is that the majority of “conservative commentators” fit into one of two categories:
-Grifters who are actually leftists but pretend to be on the right to break into an untapped market.
-People in the camp of “sure it works in practice, but what about in theory?”
The first group obviously doesn’t care about corporations bowing down to the left because that’s who they’re rooting for anyway and they’ll probably get paid by the corporations in the end.
The second group firmly believes the theory that “conservatives support the free market, businesses like the free market, therefore businesses will always support conservatives.” It doesn’t matter how many times reality disproves this, they’ll continue believing the theory.
That last comment was supposed to be on the “Left and Big Corporations” post. Though I suppose that there are some similarities between how conservative commentators have treated conservatism to how Church leaders have treated the faithful.
Read The Sacking of Fr. Moloney – another example of the spineless hierarchy. It reminds me of years ago when my husband was in grad school at another university in Cambridge. I took a MIT noontime class with another gal. There was loud brouhaha about a well known female GYN scheduled to speak on pro-life. The LBGT club defaced and ripped down the flyers. The doctor cancelled. The flyers for the LBGT Club and the Pagan Club, as in Satanic not the motorcycle gang, were untouched.
The Anti-christ is not really designed to be given to one person. The Anti-christ is a movement, the makings of a developing culture. No faith, No hope, and No love leads to NO MERCY
