THE Protestant preacher James Manning reacts to Friday's Supreme Court decision in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. Mr. Manning is not very nice. He is one black leader who will never be invited to the White House or the Democratic National Convention.
IT’S OKAY for a Jewish organization to celebrate and point out Jewish hostility to Christian morality and to brag of Jewish funding for the systematic deconstruction of American laws protecting the family.
But, I guarantee you, it’s anti-Semitic for a non-Jew to point it out.
A non-Jew who points it out is a Nazi.
A non-Jew who points it out secretly wants to drag every single Jew, even the Jews he has sincerely loved and treated well for decades, to a concentration camp.
A non-Jew who points it out is evil and filthy.
A non-Jew who points it out is … not nice. He belongs in a concentration camp. Oh, wait, he is in a concentration camp. It’s called the New World Order. It’s the anti-Christian concentration camp of Luciferian America, brought to you in part by the likes of the Anti-Defamation League. (more…)

I just read your post about “Not Coming Out” and I wanted to send along my sympathies to the reader Jacqueline and applaud her sense of self control in the matter.
To Jacqueline:
Currently I work in a job that is closely related to the music theatre business and I do not think I am being a bigot by stating that there are a lot of homosexuals present at my workplace. Along with you, I could have been considered an ally to them once but no more. The things I have seen, the politics along with how I have been treated, have drastically changed my mind. (more…)
IN THIS previous entry, a reader asked why those who are not engaged in the vice of homosexuality have been so aggressively in favor of homosexual “marriage.”
Another reader, Ignatius A. Chesterton, writes in response:
J.D. writes, “What is it that they want?”
It’s shockingly simple: They want to be thought of as NICE. By everyone.
Niceness is their highest value… the coin of the realm. Nice people are nice. Not nice people are mean. And they don’t want mean people to think they’re not nice, either, so it’s a double-bind worldview. They’re trapped in the social empire of nice, and there is no escape.
However, there is a prize: everyone thinks the nice person is nice. Not much more, but certainly nice. No one can say anything bad about the nice person, which isn’t a fully human, fully-alive experience, but it is nice. (more…)
FROM Casti Connubii, the Encyclical of Pope Pius XI on Christian Marriage, December, 31, 1930:
… [L]et it be repeated as an immutable and inviolable fundamental doctrine that matrimony was not instituted or restored by man but by God; not by man were the laws made to strengthen and confirm and elevate it but by God, the Author of nature, and by Christ Our Lord by Whom nature was redeemed, and hence these laws cannot be subject to any human decrees or to any contrary pact even of the spouses themselves. This is the doctrine of Holy Scripture;[2] this is the constant tradition of the Universal Church; this the solemn definition of the sacred Council of Trent, which declares and establishes from the words of Holy Writ itself that God is the Author of the perpetual stability of the marriage bond, its unity and its firmness.[3] (more…)
A READER writes: The vertiginous quality of the prevailing socio-political environment requires the likes of a Kafka to describe it adequately. It is as though we all woke up one morning and seven out of ten of our acquaintances had undergone the metamorphosis into a giant cockroach.
From Reuters: "A total of 379 businesses and groups representing employers across various sectors signed on to a friend-of-the-court brief backing gay marriage. In the healthcare case, trade groups representing hospitals and health insurance companies filed court papers backing the Obama administration over the healthcare law. In the marriage case, some of the nation's biggest companies, including Procter & Gamble Co , American Airlines Group Inc and Johnson & Johnson, joined the brief urging the court to rule in favor of gay marriage. Wall Street's biggest names, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Morgan Stanley , also signed on. [...] Thomson Reuters Corp , which owns Reuters news, also signed on to the brief."

This was written by the liberal online site Gawker on the landmark ruling:
“I can’t help but be happiest, though, about the defeat of the anti-marriage equality crusaders. The defeat of people who signed up to lose, who wasted their time and ours on a platform of animus and contempt. The defeat of people who put principle over the practical, who fought to preserve their limited understanding of an already imperfect institution over the actual human lives that would benefit from it. The defeat of people who did what bigots do: discriminate, vilify, fear-monger, argue irrationally and without respect to human dignity, and then bristle when they’re called out for what they are (bigots).

If one didn’t know better, you would think that the Supreme Court decision struck down “gay marriage,” judging from the way the homosexual “community” and their supporters are acting! First, you have the White House itself being lit up with the “gay pride” rainbow flag. That in itself shows you how far we have moved in just the last ten years! Looking at that photograph I found it hard to believe that that house once held men and represented a nation so serious, that we won the Second World War and held off the Soviet Union for close to fifty years. It has now been reduced to a juvenile version of its former self. Putin and the Chinese must be shaking in their boots! Forget about the Muslims. (more…)
HOW DID we get here from there? It happened, in part, through psychological warfare. In his article, “Selling Homosexuality to America,” Paul Rondeau called it “psychological terrorism.” Once again, we see that the most powerful institution in American life is the media, including the entertainment industry and related advertisers. Rondeau wrote: (more…)
THE following video may incite lust for the day when men were men, women were women, and marriage was marriage. I offer it as a little relief on this disturbing day, which I thought was just going to be an ordinary Friday. It may arouse lust for small town life, domestic servants, stone walls, country fairs, and human interaction.
WARNING: DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IN FRONT OF IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN. THEY MAY THINK THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL.
SHORTLY after I posted my previous entry, I learned that the nine exalted nincompoops have indeed ruled, 5-4, to approve same-sex “marriage.” Are you surprised? Of course not.
The Supreme Court justices might as well have ruled that the earth is now flat and that everyone will be required to act as if it is flat. No judge anywhere has the authority to change marriage, which was made by God. No judge anywhere has the authority to legalize divorce, the killing of the unborn, “assisted suicide,” or pornography. Authority comes from above, not below.
Anger should not be directed to the confused individuals who are drawn into this way of life. They too live in a time of moral chaos, a time of spiritual barrenness when the Divine Life of Grace has been drained from the world. Anger should be entirely reserved for our cultural revolutionaries at the top, most of whom will never “marry” someone of the same sex. Homosexual “marriage” is political exploitation and a brilliant means of social control, fostering endless cultural division — division that has only just begun — and psychological bondage. It is libido dominandi at its finest. Better yet, don’t feel anger at all. Pray for your children and for your country, from which you will now be forced to detach yourself. Have confidence in God as we head toward more, previously unimaginable chaos. Everything, our entire system of family law, will be redefined. The past is now for all intents and purposes illegal. But marriage has not changed at all. No interpretation of our Constitution, no judge, no individual can change it. (more…)
BISHOP Donald Sanborn reflects on the upcoming decision by the Supreme Court on same-sex “marriage:”
Think of having nine nincompoops flying your airplane who have never seen the inside of a cockpit, or nine nincompoops operating on you, who had never been to medical school.
I say “nincompoops,” not because these Justices are unintelligent or unlearned people, but because in the field of morality they are not trained, and do not rely on sound principles, even of the natural order.
The reason for this grave disorder in our government can be found in the eighteenth century “Enlightenment” thinking that religion should be completely severed from the State. Laws should be made purely on the basis of natural reason and “philosophy.” (more…)
IT WAS only a matter of time before the Man Who Would Be Pope would declare divorce to be "morally necessary" for women facing "exploitation."
JUST when nothing, absolutely nothing, is happening in the world, the Pizza Industrial Complex releases a newsworthy sensation. The Hot Dog Bites Pizza was unveiled by Pizza Hut last week. The Washington Post, which was naturally on top of this important story, tantalizingly described its “halo” of party dogs. The halo surrounds the normal blend of latex cheese, pepperoni asphalt and tomato spackling, cooked up in the laboratories deep in the heart of the PIC. It looks very filling, doesn’t it? The federal government is rumored to be working on classifying pepperoni as a vegetable. That way busy families, pushed to the wall by our slave-driving, globalist economy, don’t have to worry about a side dish. (more…)
CONSPIRACY theories are a dime a dozen on the Internet. It’s better not to go there, as they say, which is why, as these theories pile up in connection with the latest big news event, I absolutely believe the Charleston massacre was real. I lament this terrible tragedy. I lament the evil it represents. Even though it obviously happened — how could this kind of thing possibly be staged, especially since a state senator was one of the victims? — one has to admit that there are staged qualities about it that feed into the conspiracy theories. They include the contrived-looking photographs of Dylann Roof with the Confederate flag, the improbability that a relatively small man could shoot and instantly kill nine people — without anyone running away or more victims being simply wounded — with a handgun which required reloading five times, and the instantaneous, theatrical reaction from the federal government, which is reportedly already giving $29 million to the victims’ families. Again, I assume these are just strange coincidences and oddities, but as further evidence of strangeness I offer this video from one of the burgeoning number of conspiracy-theory bloggers. Let’s just say these interviews in the video are abnormal reactions. Let’s leave it at that. (more…)
MAUREEN MALLARKEY offers excellent commentary of Jorge Bergoglio’s Eco-Cyclical at The Federalist. Her commentary is excellent, I should say, except that Ms. Mallarkey believes that it is appropriate for Catholics to criticize a true pope in this caustic and somewhat sneering way. It is appropriate to criticize a papal pretender in this way, but not a true pope. May Ms. Mallarkey come to see the truth. She writes:
“Laudato Si” leans heavily on Romantic personification (“our Sister, Mother Earth . . . cries out to us”) and nature poetry. These are arational devices that evade logical argument. They are employed here to justify left-wing ideology and more concentrated power. The document hands a bouquet to all statists, collectivists, crackpot world-improvers, antagonists to free enterprise, and to freedom itself. Every authoritarian jackal and central planner on the planet can pluck a bloom from it.
