The
Oppression of the Church
by
the State

and
The Shameful
Submission of the Church
to
the State
A Diabolical Reciprocity
W hich is more despicable; which more vile
and absolutely reprehensible?
The Iron Fist of the Liberal State
or the Spineless State of Catholic Bishops?
I cannot clearly decide which induces the greater volume of nausea within
me. I lean to the latter upon whom I would justly spew it.
On the one hand we have the Liberal State which
remorselessly crushes religion with no regard for human rights —
shuttering and padlocking churches, synagogues, and mosques under
threat of imprisonment and financial ruin if breached by priest, rabbi, minister, or imam ...
and their congregations — under the “benign” and gossamer-thin auspices
of “care” for the people — not, of course, the unborn, for such deep
concern and compassion extends only so far, leaving the abattoirs, or
abortuaries open as “essential” to killing babies. Right
…
… and on the other hand, not just a fringe clique, but an entire
Episcopacy (effectively all the Bishops in the world including
the self-famous “Bishop of Rome”, Francis) — the counterfeit successors
of the holy Apostles themselves (one and all martyred for the Faith
except for Saint John) and all of them, each of them, loathsome
cowards eager to feed at the hand of the State and appease prevailing
Liberal “Social and Political Correctitude” — doing the bidding
of the State rather than serving God Almighty in that
unsurpassed and arduous work once called “the Salvation of Souls.”
From Francis down — from that contemptible “prelate”, Blaise Cupich,
to the homosexualist Jesuit James Martin — one and all cry out
to the pagan Liberal State — which detests God and Church:
“Serviam!” — “I will serve!”
A Cruel Redundancy
If a Catholic layman wishes to worship God at Mass,
it is forbidden by the State — for his own good, you understand
… Comply or go to jail. If a pious priest performs a baptism
or wedding or (forbid!) hears a desperate Confession, the police will
come first and arrest both him and the recipients of the sacrament —
after which his bishop surely would bitterly and stridently
protest the persecution … no?
No. The bishop will further penalize the offending priest
ecclesiastically (remove him from this parish1 or possibly
send him to a special ward in one of the mental hospitals (every diocese
has at least one) for “rehabilitation” — I mean, “re-education”
— or if the priest is a Religious (a Benedictine, or Franciscan, for
example, or an Oratorian) the bishop may suppress (disband, dissolve)
not only the offending priest but the Religious community itself from
which he came. Not only will the State persecute the priest, but
his own bishop will — who is more a servant of the State
than the Church. Archbishop George Stack in Cardiff, Wales, for example,
knows of these things lately and appears eager to do the bidding of
the State.
That he, and all the other cowardly, recreant bishops in the
Catholic Church (that is to say, most of them) may
rot in Hell for this, appears to be of little concern to “His Excellencies”
who weigh things “exceeding fine” on the socio-political scale … lest
their often palatial residences and perquisites be examined too carefully
by the State — and their tribute to their real masters
be found wanting. Literally, the devil is in the details.
