THE Irish priest, Fr. Denis Fahey (1883-1954), was one of the modern era’s greatest defenders of Christian social order. He is unquestionably one of my greatest heroes. His courage and clarity are deeply inspiring. (Ignore the negative things on the Internet about him. It’s trash. Trash and slander.) In this review, quoted at this excellent new website, Fr. Fahey criticizes Catholics who unthinkingly hurl accusations of anti-Semitism at other Catholics:

Two reasons can be assigned to the fact that Our Lord’s faithful members will often be betrayed by those who should be on the side of Christ the King. Firstly, many Catholic writers speak of Papal condemnations of Anti-Semitism without explaining the meaning of the term, and never even allude to the documents which insist on the Rights of Our Divine Lord, Head of the Mystical Body, Priest and King.  Thus, very many are completely ignorant of the duty incumbent on all Catholics of standing positively for Our Lord’s Reign in society in opposition to Jewish Naturalism.  The result is that numbers of Catholics are so ignorant of Catholic doctrine that they hurl the accusation of Anti-Semitism against those who are battling for the Rights of Christ the King, thus effectively aiding the enemies of Our Divine Lord.  (more…)

FROM St. Thomas Aquinas’s Meditations for Each Day of Lent, for today, the Feast of the Holy Winding Sheet:

Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new monument.– Matt, xxvii. 59.

THE INTERNET is fantastic. There is so much great material available for free. But the web is also filled with trashy arguments, lots of porn and semi-porn, acres of ugliness, and intrusive ads. Give what you can to blogs you read regularly, especially blogs that do not have any of these things, so that they don't disappear. Thank you so much to those who've contributed so far to my latest fundraiser. I have a bad case of the flu so I haven't been able to respond personally, but your donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you! I still have a long way to go before I make the little I need to keep working here at this level.

A READER sent me the comment below a long while ago and I thought it justified pornography use so I put it aside. Still the male commenter made some good points. Let me restate the argument: Women can create the occasion for the sin of pornography use by denying their husbands marital intimacy. It is sinful for women to deprive their husbands of intimacy, a definite marital obligation. Women offend God when they don’t treat their husbands as the physical beings they are. Many people balk or laugh at that idea because it is so unfamiliar to them, yet it’s true. Pornography use is also sinful and the man who uses it is culpable. He offends God, his wife, and his children. Abstinence won’t harm him; pornography will. Pornography has damaged countless marriages. The makers and purveyors, the judges who have allowed it, are criminals, who have created a temptation that destroys.

Feminism and the burdens of the careerist life have desensitized some women to the needs of men. Men are generally disinclined to put their feelings into words and to let their wives calmly know something is wrong. Men may also encourage women in exhausting work outside the home, which leaves them with little energy at the end of the day, another serious factor in undermining marital intimacy, something the commenter below does not acknowledge.

I cannot recall whether the reader wanted his name published and I have lost his address, so I will omit it here. He wrote:

Many and various sources are talking about an epidemic of porn and many women, specifically, talk about this as though it has nothing to do with them.

But of course it does — it has everything to do with wives.  (more…)

My annual fundraiser continues. Blogs come and go. Support this one so it does not fade away. Thank you.  

JIM FETZER, author of a book on Sandy Hook (mysteriously banned by Amazon) who graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, has a Ph.D. from Indiana University and was Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota, is interviewed about the event by The Buzzsaw. It's an  uncontrolled (and casual) interview, but the first fifteen minutes focus on Sandy Hook. Fetzer calls Obama a "fake president" because of his open defiance of the Constitution. Paul Craig Roberts asks why the mainstream media does not respond to Sandy Hook skeptics. If these "conspiracy theorists" are trading in fantasies, it should be easy to debunk them. Why doesn't the media demolish their claims? The answer: The media is controlled.  

  It triggers moral superiority and resentment in dangerously miseducated non-whites.

Blogs come and go. Support this one so it does not fade away. Thank you.

  EVEN when there are no polls to prove that Donald Trump's supporters are hateful bigots, polls that show the opposite -- that's right, polls that show the opposite -- are analyzed into revealing the supposed white fascists in our midst. I'm not a Trump fan, but I'm not a fan of these characterizations of his supporters either. From The New York Times′s recent report, "Measuring Donald Trump's Supporters for Intolerance:" (Mind you, is there any need to read the article since right off the bat we are told it shows "intolerance?" Is there any need to read the disclaimer, buried in the text, that at least one of these polling operations is so obviously a tool of the Democratic party that even The New York Times must acknowledge it?) The P.P.P. poll asked voters if they thought whites were a superior race. Most Republican primary voters in South Carolina — 78 percent — disagreed with this idea (10 percent agreed and 11 percent weren’t sure). But among Mr. Trump’s supporters, only 69 percent disagreed. Mr. Carson’s voters were the most opposed to the notion (99 percent), followed by Mr. Kasich and Mr. Cruz’s supporters at 92 and 89 percent. Mr. Rubio’s backers were close to the average level of disagreement (76 percent). How is 69 percent an "only?" The headline, based on these figures, should be: "Trump Supporters Overwhelmingly Reject White Supremacy." But the show must go on. Even when the numbers do not add up.…

Thanks to you, Laura Wood, for all the work you do. A Southern Baptist upraising for me and yet your Catholic views are always clearly stated and because of the clarity more easily understood. You are never uninteresting. I wish you much success in your public life on the ‘net. (more…)

JOHN C. WRIGHT offers a Southern gentleman's view of the women's vote: [W]omen are naturally less suited for war and conflict than men. If the vote were restricted solely to men, perhaps the public debate over public laws would make fighting wars and fighting crime its primary, or even its only, order of business. Perhaps all these other things, housecleaning the environment, mothering the poor, schoolmarming the schools, would be done privately, not by the government. Perhaps if women did not vote, they could see to the environment, the schools, and the poor through the institutions of the Church, which are better suited to charitable activity and feminine compassion than the hard and harsh swords and balances of townhall. The Nanny State only exists in nations where all the Nannies were given a vote. Men, left to their own unaided reason, cannot handle the vote either. That's why the Church was appointed by God as the moral guardian over society.

A FEMALE commenter writes:

I totally disagree with the previous commenter [who defended Trump’s mocking of a disabled reporter.] What Trump did was tasteless, offensive, and crass, like much of what he does. His politics might be sound on many counts, but he is humiliating conservatives everywhere, including me, with his disgusting tactics and display. It’s obvious that he wants attention and wasn’t raised with strong morals.

My husband is disabled (and yes, physical disabilities ‘count’ as disabilities; usually they are accompanied by medical issues as well), and while he is gainfully employed, he has had to deal with many setbacks (financially and medically) because of it. Clearly the commenter doesn’t know much about disability or the lived reality of it.

Bottom line, if Trump doesn’t have the intelligence and class to satirize what someone said and instead has to stoop to mocking their appearance or medical condition like a schoolyard bully, he’s not a man I can respect. Certainly not one I’d want leading my nation. (more…)

  MY fundraiser continues. Thank you to those who have given. Please donate here.

THE Jewish-run and Jewish-funded ACLU, whose mission it is to de-Christianize America under the camouflage of “separation of church and state,” has no qualms about using the young and confused as proxy warriors to obtain its own form of theocratic rule.

A case in point is that of Taylor Victor, 16, a Manteca, California high school student who “came out” as a lesbian at the tender age of 15. Victor came to school one day last August wearing a T-shirt that said, “Nobody knows I’m a lesbian.” Both a teacher and an assistant principle took offense and told her to go home and change.

The ACLU filed suit on Victor’s behalf, converting her instantly into one of its most effective weapons — a tender adolescent who may be psychologically scarred if not given free expression. Those authorities — parents, teachers, principals — who try to defend the moral law, they are the real target of this suit. They must be disempowered. The project of preparing the young for a life of serfdom by enchaining them to their passions is otherwise not assured.

The case was quickly settled out of court. The school has agreed to change its dress code so that it no longer discriminates against those who express their perversion “orientation.” It also will pay $63,000 to the ACLU in attorney’s fees and other legal costs, and provide regular training in censorship “free expression” to  high school administrators. What’s most shocking is the absence of any backlash at all from parents in Manteca. If there was one speck of decency left in that town there would be a riot and those ACLU hotshots would be arrested and charged with corruption of minors.

In a few years, the ACLU will have forgotten Victor, I mean, Taylor. She will be left to pick up the pieces of her life, a veteran of a war that she didn’t even remotely understand.

I feel very sorry for this girl. (more…)
