Thoughts @JessicaTarlov?
Over 200,000 people killed in Africa, 72% in Nigeria by Islamists.
Why are we silent? Where is the rage?

Nobody will care. Part of the globalist, communist plan was to instill a sense of hatred or lack of care in one’s own culture. They’ve succeeded perfectly.

Looked at from the point of view of scripture and Church history, what we are seeing is the natural punishment for apostasy. And that punishment will intensify until people stop deluding themselves that there is any solution, political or otherwise, short of a return to the faith

Many people in the west have glorified savage behavior as righteous liberation.
The development and maintenance of a complex civilization requires a high level of morality, the taming of urges and sexual desires, a code of order that for many people are seen as too restrictive and difficult.
They crave liberation from the morality required of them, so they proclaim the superiority of the primitive.
Consider the ridiculous myth of the "noble savage" articulated by Montaigne in the late 16th century, John Dryden in the late 17th century, and then the ever influential Rousseau, and Freud.
But the noble savage does not exist.
We have a fallen human nature which cannot be perfected by any institution or form of government. The only solution to a fallen nature is a transcendent moral code based in Christ, a loving God.
The primitive is savage and that is the reason why importing primitive people into a complex society will never truly liberate it.
The essential fact is that liberation from the moral demands of complex society doesn't liberate the people.
Rather it leads to enslavement to the savage, the unredeemed barbarism of fallen human nature.
This is why the west is on fire.
Nothing can save it except a return to the transcendent morality, virtue, and Christ.
The spiritual war is the real battlefield.

French Journalist Paul Amar: The French rioters had the addresses of jewish shops to burn down, but they left the Muslim businesses alone.
French journalist Paul Amar:
“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.
In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

Hmmmm?
I was thinking it was more correctly caused by you allowing millions of illegal aliens into your country- knowing that their intentions are to destroy your country and the rest of civilization.

Democrats plan to use lawfare to bankrupt current Trump administration officials ... to ensure no American works in a future Republican administration.
Wow… a sitting United States Senator walked into the University of Chicago and told a room full of students exactly what her side plans to do if they get the power back. Elissa Slotkin says she wants to look at "signature cases" and not just focus on the president "but on the people who enabled him," and then she said the rest out loud like she was reading a grocery list… she wants young people coming out of school to look at a job in the Trump administration and think "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that." Her words, "I want that deterrence message."
So let me make sure you heard it right. She is not talking about catching criminals, she is talking about making examples out of people so the next generation of conservatives is too scared to serve their own country. The target is not the man at the top, it is the young person fresh out of college who thought working for their country sounded like an opportunity.
Now keep in mind this is the same senator who refused to sit down with the DOJ back in February over her video telling troops they could refuse illegal orders, and who said on camera the Trump administration was using intimidation "to deter others from speaking out" and that "the intimidation is the point." Those were her words eight months ago. Today she wants a deterrence message aimed at kids coming out of school. So which is it, Senator? When they look at you it is intimidation, and when you do it to a young staffer it is policy?
I have lived on the receiving end of lawfare for years, and I can tell you the punishment is the process. They do not need to win the case, they need you to drain your savings, lose sleep, watch your family worry, and make sure everybody watching decides standing up is not worth it. That is the whole point and she just admitted it on a stage at the Institute of Politics like she was presenting a policy paper.
But hey… they are the party of norms, right? Think I am wrong? Watch the clip again and tell me what "deterrence" means to you.
This is what they will do with the gavel and the subpoena power if you hand it to them on November 3. Every young person who loves this country should hear this and do the exact opposite of what she wants… show up, serve, and refuse to be scared off.
@ElissaSlotkin, message received. We are not going anywhere.
But God.

It's an Islamocommunist revolution, and it is spreading across Europe.
The ‘student protests’ have spread to Italy, where Muslim rioters are rampaging outside Milan Cathedral (the Duomo) and trying to set it on fire.
This is a religious war of conquest against Europe, Christianity, and Western civilization as a whole.

When the Faithful fall away from the True Faith, they no longer protect what they built or what was given to them. They leave the gates open so ravenous wolves & lowly rats swarm these holy halls of antiquity, burning everything that made France a glorious refuge for Catholics.

Wisdom and direction are sorely needed
If you don't have good, Christian elites, then bad elites will influence society... (Pope Pius XII)
Just think who our current elites are....😬
But how to be a good Christian leader? Listen to @SirEvanAmato and me

If you haven't figured out why you were born in these chaotic times, it's because it's our mission to save the world from the death cult.
We have Christ with us.
Early Christians were eaten by lions in the Coliseum.
The wolves are trying to devour us inside the Church and inside our nation.
There have never been more opportunities to be light in a dark world.
There have never been more opportunities to become a Saint.

You die fighting the barbarians to save your nation or you die any way as a coward at the hands of barbarians.
The ancients knew it.
The pagans knew it
Christendom knew it.
Everyone knew it except the moderns.
We need heroic virtue.
We need courage.
We need people willing to embrace suffering and death for a greater cause.
Rise!

"It is said that Christianity, if it is to survive, must face the modern world, must come to terms with the way things are in the sense of the current drift of things.
It is just the other way around: If we are to survive, we must face Christianity.
The strongest reactionary force impeding progress is the cult of progress itself, which, cutting us off from our roots, makes growth impossible and choice unnecessary.
We expire in the lazy, utterly helpless drift, the spongy warmth of an absolute uncertainty.
Where nothing is ever true, or right or wrong, there are no problems; where life is meaningless we are free from responsibility, the way a slave or scavenger is free.
Futility breeds carelessness, against which stands the stark alternative: against the radical uncertainty by which modern man has lived – as in a game of Russian roulette, stifled in the careless “now” between the click and the explosion, living by the dull grace of empty chambers – the risk of certainty."

Happy feastday of St Ignatius of Antioch! @JoshuaTCharles. St Ignatius, pray for all who pursue the beauty and truth of Eternal Christendom!
'Study, therefore, to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, that so all things, whatsoever ye do, may prosper both in the flesh and spirit; in faith and love; in the Son, and in the Father, and in the Spirit; in the beginning and in the end; with your most admirable bishop, and the well-compacted spiritual crown of your presbytery, and the deacons who are according to God. Be ye subject to the bishop, and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father, according to the flesh, and the apostles to Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit; that so there may be a union both fleshly and spiritual."

Today is the memorial of St. Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of the Apostle John. Obviously a man with great knowledge given he learned from someone who walked with Jesus and wrote scripture. Some of my favorite quotes:
1. “They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.” -St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 7
2. “Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it.”
-St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8
3. “See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles.”
-St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8
4. “There is but one altar for the whole Church, and one bishop, with the presbytery and deacons.”
-St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Philadelphians, 4
5. “Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”
-St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8
Saint Ignatius, bishop and martyr: a disciple of Saint John the Apostle, he was the second after Saint Peter to govern the Church of Antioch. He was condemned to the beasts in the reign of the Emperor Trajan and was taken to Rome where he was crowned with a glorious martyrdom. On the journey, while suffering the ferocity of the guards who were like leopards, he wrote seven letters to different Churches, in which he entreated the brethren to serve God in unity with the bishops, and not to impede his immolation as a victim for Christ.
Saint Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr, pray for us!
