The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along

More news from the front.

Charles Coulombe has a piece at Crisis called,

Stupiditas Omnia Vincit.

To which I respond: rem acu tetigisti.   This has been evident lately in the shrillness of even some “trads” on Twitter.   Just reading the magisterial declarations of the dilettante tweeter flock is enough to lower your IQ.  Do your best not to get stuck in that nasty logorrhea afflicted tar baby.

Back to Coulombe and his premise: Stupidity conquers all.

The writer identifies yet another threat on the horizon from educators.  I use “educators” with a wry twist, since they are more and more revealed as agents of ideologies, rather than legitimate formators of young minds.

Go over there and read his observations about …

an organized campaign to purge such evil books from school bookshelves called the “#DisruptTexts campaign.”

[…]

Somewhat nauseated by all of this, I went to the website of the #DisruptTexts campaign. There I found its mission statement:

Disrupt Texts is a crowdsourced, grassroots effort by teachers for teachers to challenge the traditional canon in order to create a more inclusive, representative, and equitable language arts curriculum that our students deserve. It is part of our mission to aid and develop teachers committed to anti-racist/anti-bias teaching pedagogy and practices.

How do the harpies involved tend to do this?

Each week, join us for the #DisruptTexts slow chat on Twitter as teachers from across the country and world come together to apply a critical lens on a central text. We’ll discuss how to disrupt traditional pedagogies by suggesting alternative titles and approaches through thoughtful pairings, counter-narratives, and inclusive, diverse texts sets.

Dear reader, this is no joke.

After WWII, the Communists and Christian Democrats were fighting for power.  Communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci had laid out the Communist long-term strategy, a kind of “long march”.  He said, in effect, “Forget parliament.  We will take the schools.  In forty years people will beg us to take everything!”

After WW2 that is exactly what the Commies did.  They let the Christian Democrats have parliament.  They took the schools.  The long term results have been devastating.

This is war, friends.  Total, unrestricted, asymmetrical war.

Consider what these agents of Hell want to do the minds of your children and what they want to allow to be read and what they want to force you to read.

That’s the next step.  Not to give you a choice between a classical canon and their disruption.

These are totalitarians.

They will start out with proposed alternatives, which soon become the only option.  Then it won’t be an option, it’ll be obligatory.

That’s how they roll.  That’s what they have systematically done with the homosexualist agenda over the decades, especially through the entertainment industry.  What was once unthinkable, rapidly became obligatory viewing on all TV.  And they are not finished.  The golden ring on their “merry go round” is the lowering of the age of consent.   And when that becomes an option, soon after it will be obligatory.

Do you have the spiritual weapons do deal with this?

Think about how in time of COVID-1984, the Wuhan Devil, steps have been taken by the State and the Church alike (both infiltrated) to limit the availability of the ordinary means of our salvation… the sacraments.

It’s almost as if it were coordinated.

The Enemy is very good at being an Enemy and he always tells you what he is doing.

Again, do you have the spiritual weapons for this fight?   Spiritual weapons are, of course, a matter of personal discipline, habits of prayer and life.  Spiritual weapons include, of course, the sacraments and sacramentals.  However, grace builds on nature. Grace doesn’t replace nature.

You have to do your part to get into spiritual shape for this war.

Before a sports season begins, athletes train.  They train before and during and right up to the champion moment.   Musicians practice endlessly.  War fighters drill and drill and drill so that when it is time to GO! their training curbs their fear and the physiological and psychological changes that the “black zone” brings.

This is how we have to think of ourselves now.  There is wisdom to the Church calling us the Church Militant.

One think I will add to this rant, is an appeal to more traditional, more conservative Catholics to shake off the fog that has been building since the Wuhan Devil has worked its diabolical erosion on hearts and minds.  Shake off the fog and cobwebs.   Stop the atomization of our different groupings or leanings.

People with slightly differing views on X or Y ARE NOT THE ENEMY.  

Pray for humility.  Pray for patience.  Pray for prudence.

Stop tearing at each other.

You are, friends, doing the work of the Devil.

If you cannot control your impulses on, for example, Twitter, to listen to another point of view without lashing out, … pluck out your Twitter and cast it off.

That’s just one example.

This is a time for unity, not further atomization at our own hands.

And… you PRIESTS and BISHOPS out there.

LEARN THE TRADITIONAL MASS.  USE THE TRADITIONAL RITUAL.

Enough of this screwing around with the half-baked, the tolerable.

Let’s get real.

St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us.
