Religion and Geopolitics Review: Saturday, June 9

By Dr. David Pence and A. Joseph Lynch

WEEKLY BRIEF
      THE ASSASSINATIONS THAT DEFINED A GENERATION
Fifty years ago this week, Senator Robert Kennedy was killed in Los Angeles after winning the Presidential Democratic Primary in California. The four greatest public orators in American life in the 1960's were all assassinated. John Kennedy was killed in November of 1963; Malcolm X was killed in February 1965; Martin Luther King was killed in April 1968, and Robert Kennedy was killed in June 1968.  John Kennedy was the first  Catholic President of a Protestant nation. He had convinced his countrymen he would be the best commander in chief in the American war against atheist communism. He had argued for an end to civic racism which violated morality  "as old as Scripture and clear as the Constitution."  Three weeks after he had allowed the murder/coup of Catholic nationalist Ngo Diem in Vietnam, Kennedy lost his mandate from heaven. He was murdered by an atheist communist in Texas. He was not killed by a southern racist. He was not killed because America is a violent country. He was killed by a soldier in the atheist movement who thought murdering the charismatic warrior-leader of the free nations would help the cause of Communism. So it did. Malcolm X was killed by members of the Black Racialist Nation of Islam. Malcolm X had gone to Mecca and seen that Islam was not the color bound religion preached in the American sect under Elijah Muhammed. Malcolm resigned from the Black Muslims, and exposed the leader of the organization as a serial abuser of young women. He repudiated the racist theory of separate black origins. He was killed by black racists covering up sexual abuse and protecting racial huckstering. Robert Kennedy was a strong supporter of a racially integrated America and a free Israel. Israel had gained control of Jerusalem and a defensible eastern border in the Six Day War one year earlier in June, 1967. A Palestinian nationalist from a Christian family shot him in retaliation for his support of that now viable Israeli nation. His killer was not a Muslim but a nationalist of a nation that did not exist in rebellion against a nation that did.  Martin Luther King was killed by a failed pornographic movie maker who had more success as a racist assassin. The assassin aimed to derail a Christian America animated by interracial brotherhood. He eliminated the most dynamic Christian preacher for that movement.
  The assassins of that decade were a white racist, a black racist, an atheist Communist and a Palestinian nationalist. A body needs its head who can speak its soul. Men who can form civic community with the transcendent word well spoken are not easily replaced. The assassins left their mark. In a certain way, their actions still rule.
The baby boomer generation felt these deaths in their late teens and early twenties. Since then, their revolutionary cultural achievement has been the destruction of religious and political patriarchy. They have buried the corpse of national politics and patriotism as a protective interracial Christian brotherhood. That horrible half decade left the baby boomers a fatherless cohort deeply confused and disoriented. Four political fathers--all men of a former generation-- were cut down performing their public duties before their trusting eyes. Will they pass along by choice what they lost by fate before they pass away?     



I. POPE FRANCIS AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

THE CHURCH HAS NO AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE SUBSTANCE OF THE SACRAMENT - THE MALE PRIESTHOOD: Head of CDF appointed by Pope Francis, Jesuit Luis Ladaria, makes a clear no forever on female priests and says those who say this could be decided differently in the future are causing serious confusion among the faithful. The male priesthood is the fundamental living form by which Christ makes himself present in the Eucharistic churchThis male group is the template for the brotherhood of men under God the Father lived out in the 2000 dioceses of the Church and the 200 nations of the world.

POPE FRANCIS ON RUSSIA UKRAINE THE PATRIARCHATE AND CHURCH UNITYThe text. The best person to read on these matters is Robert Moynihan of Moynihan Letter from Inside the Vatican. These came from letter 31:
"And before you I would like to reiterate — in a special way before you, my dear brother [referring to Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Hilarion, the leader of the group he was addressing], and before all of you — that the Catholic Church will never allow an attitude of division to arise from her people. We will never allow ourselves to do this, I do not want it. In Moscow — in Russia — there is only one Patriarchate: yours. We will not have another one." —Pope Francis, in Rome on May 30, greeting a delegation of Russian Orthodox led by Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev.

"We must continue to study theology, to clarify the points, but in the meantime let us walk together, let us not wait for these things to be resolved in order to walk, no." — Pope Francis, in the same May 30 greeting.

"The Catholic Church, the Catholic Churches must not get involved in internal matters of the Russian Orthodox Church, nor in political issues. This is my attitude, and the attitude of the Holy See today. And those who meddle do not obey the Holy See." —Pope Francis, in the same May 30 greeting.
POPE FRANCIS ON HOMOSEXUALS IN PRIESTHOOD: His statement , "Who Am I to Judge?" made a distinction between the inclination and "the gay lobby" within the Vatican. He said "the lobby is not good" but then the gay lobby took his words about the inclination and reported it as an acceptance of "gay priests". He does not think one should be "defined by his tendencies.' If a priest has these tendencies as fundamental to his personality--if he is gay-- then he said in Italy, "Do not admit them to the seminary." Pope Francis has been deeply shaken by the well known practice in Chile of turning over formation in seminaries to known homosexuals. Francis' reply appears in a new book The Name of God is Mercy to be released Tuesday;
"On that occasion I said this: If a person is gay and seeks out the Lord and is willing, who am I to judge that person?" the pope says. "I was paraphrasing by heart the Catechism of the Catholic Church where it says that these people should be treated with delicacy and not be marginalized."

"I am glad that we are talking about 'homosexual people' because before all else comes the individual person, in his wholeness and dignity," he continues. "And people should not be defined only by their sexual tendencies: let us not forget that God loves all his creatures and we are destined to receive his infinite love." "I prefer that homosexuals come to confession, that they stay close to the Lord, and that we pray all together," says Francis. "You can advise them to pray, show goodwill, show them the way, and accompany them along it."
THE 12 SIGNS OF ANTICHRISTFulton Sheen thought the anti-Christ would stress the brotherhood of men without the Fatherhood of God.That was the liberal progressive atheism of a century ago. Now the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men must fall to the humanity of all and the individual autonomy of each. Ordered Publics are shared masculine relationships. The crowd-- the mob--- the masses--they are not ordered masculine publics but sometimes the mob is definitely overtly MALE.

ARCHBISHOP ROMERO TO BE CANONIZED OCTOBER 14: He is not a saint of the left but of the Church. Looking for a good profile that understands his life in terms of Christ not Marxism. Charles Curran won't be our source for what or why but he supplies the when.

MINNESOTA DIOCESE PAYS RECORD $210 MILLION TO ABUSE VICTIMS AND ATTORNEYS: 15 of the 200 American diocese have filed bankruptcy because of sexual abuse claims. Minnesota has 6 Diocese. Minneapolis-St Paul, Duluth and New Ulm have filed bankruptcy. Winona will soon announce. St Cloud has announced. Minnesota 5/6 diocesan level of corruption is stunning. No priest pensions will be affected. All the major priest and bishop actors in the coverup side of the multi diocesan scandal remain clerics in good standing. Archbishop Nienstedt of Minneapolis and St Paul was a truly minor player in the multi decade corruption. He was a non Irish outsider-- a solitary closeted homosexual enemy of the large homosexual mafia he came to "reform". He was forced to resign after excellent reporting by MPR about his role in covering up homosexual priest abuse. 170 million of the settlement will be paid by insurance and 40 million by the parishes and archdiocese. The Church did not do this. Parishes did not do this. Individual priests and bishops abused and covered up abuse and allowed a huge homosexual network to take over the state clergy. Archbishop Hebda should stop saying the Church failed these people. That is attorney Jeff Anderson's line..and he despises the Catholic Church. The problem is a corrupt clergy not a corrupt Church and the corrupt clergymen have not been judged or punished yet. The civil institutions cannot and will not punish the clergymen by Catholic standards. They imply that an all male celibate clergy is the problem. But the problem is that priests were not masculine enough. They did not behave like a brotherhood of fathers because they has become dispersed as careerist cliques and gossiping friendship groups. Celibacy was not the problem-massive impurity and sexual depravation was.

It's a tough story for Minnesota's progressive gay friendly media to tell. When they had a female whistleblower (Jennifer Hasselberger vs. Kevin McDonough) angle, MPR did a fine job of exposing the closeted Archbishop Nienstedt who they also despised for his shrill ineffective voice against gay marriage. Vicar General Kevin McDonough, Catholic Charities icon Msgr Jerome Boxleitner and Archbishop Harry Flynn were responsible for much more of Minnesota's corruption than Nienstedt. Their friendly ties with the Minnesota DFL party and homosexual/feminist media make their stories much harder for the media to tell.  In Philadelphia,there is more aggressive approach from a man in the statehouse.

CHILE HANGS BISHOPS IN EFFIGY: What Crux calls a "fringe group" aims for the nationalist center. The Social Patriotic Movement - anti-communist, anti-capitalist, against the gay-feminst trend. Sounds pretty interesting.



II. CULTURE OF LIFE, CULTURE OF PROTECTION

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - END ABORTION: The best pro-life video EVER! The Magical Birth Canal.

NO MORE SWIMSUITS: GREAT! BUT NO MORE BEAUTY PAGEANTS? Should a growing reluctance to parade the naked female form mean no more "Beauty Pageants"? Gretchen Carlson (Miss America 1989) says there will be a competition not a pageant. That seems not quite a celebration of the feminine. It is mindful of Title IX decisions that did not allow dance lines or cheerleading as female sports. The fact that girls enjoy vigorous physical activity quite differently than male war games was  - NOT ALLOWED BY GENDER POLICE.

Uncovering the female form is no way to celebrate female beauty since hiddenness is actually a fundamental feminine attribute. Putting forth beauty as an ideal to honor seems a great way for society to celebrate the woman. Grace, talent, physical beauty, interiority, a personal history of acts of mercy are all feminine attributes--they all make her beautiful. The most Mary-like woman should be publicly celebrated. Let it be feminine. Let it be more a pageant than a competition. {On this day in the Catholic calendar, the Immaculate Heart of Mary is acknowledged. Catholic culture has from the beginning presented the male ideal inside the patriarchal fraternity of the Apostolic priesthood while presenting the feminine model in terms of the purity and mercy of the Virgin Mother.}

THE BAKER AND THE SUPREME COURT: Not exactly a victory for natural law or sanity but the baker artist is free from a fine if not his legal bills. Supreme Court decision.

GERMANS APOLOGIZE FOR WRONGS TO HOMOSEXUALS. NO MENTION OF SA HEAD ERNST ROEHM AND ROLE OF VIOLENT HOMOSEXUALS IN THE NAZI MOVEMENT: Misguided German guilt drives a lot of bad history and a disastrous immigration policy. Ernst Roehm and the violent depravity of the Nazis.

HOW DID LIFE BEGIN? A Catholic looks at a few theories. There are three particular moments in the 13.7 billion year history of matter which demand acts of God. 1) The movement from something to nothing. 2) The first living cell. 3) The creation of man.

For those of us who see every human soul as a deliberate interventionist act by God and every Mass as a Divine communication with man. ---it is not so intellectually difficult to admit when a transcendent purpose and Actor is necessary to best explain phenomenon. The man who shoots with one eye closed may see a certain target more clearly but he will never see the big picture needed to  explain in a plausible narrative the story of the world.

DON'T TREAT THE LADY LIKE A TRAMP: A lady soccer star passes up the rainbow jersey - to a chorus of boos.

STUDENT AT PROVIDENCE COLLEGE TALKS TO FEMALE VP AND IS SERVED RESTRAINING ORDER: Part of her fear is that the student's father has access to weapons. Dad is a police officer. You have to hear it to believe it.

THE FRATERNITY OF FATHERS FRACTURED. THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE DEFILED. THE DUTY OF MOTHERHOOD ABROGATED. THE STORY OF IRELAND IS A PRIESTHOOD CORRUPTED AND THE SOUL OF A NATION ECLIPSED: Ireland is a nation of 4.8 million people. 64% of eligible voters turned out on May 26, 2018 and 2/3 of them voted to repeal Ireland's Eight amendment which severely restricted laws on abortion.

In May 2015, Ireland became the first country to allow homosexual marriage by popular referendum. 1.2 million voted at that time to amend the constitution so the marriage bond could be made irrespective of sex. For fifty years The Roman Catholic priesthood in Ireland has been massively corrupted by huge homosexual networks in seminaries, schools and the episcopacy. The Irish homosexual alcoholic priest is not a stereotype but a character type that has been shared with many other countries influenced by Irish clergy- most notably the United States. Ireland is a Catholic nation. To regain her soul she needs a return of fatherhood and fraternity in her disgraced episcopacy and priesthood. It is not the electorate who should be lobbied but the priesthood which must be washed clean. If the 26 bishops of the Irish National Conference can not clean itself of the homosexual ideology which has perverted a nation, then they should resign and the global Church should send missionaries.

III. AROUND THE WORLD - NATION'S ROUND UP

ETHIOPIA - AFRICA'S OLDEST NATION SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NATION-STATE: Africa's China?

DUTERTE OF PHILIPPINES ALLIES WITH CHINA: But the media military establishment is for deepening ties with the US and challenging China in the South Sea. Duterte like Trump was elected to change the nation's course but the governing and cultural institutions are set against him. This struggle to define lines of possession in the South China Sea is as fundamental as the Korean negotiations.

HUNGARY - THE NATION FIGHTS THE "OPEN SOCIETY": Hungary's Orban vs Globalist Soros.

THE UNMANNED AIR WAR - WHILE THERE ARE FEWER MEN WHO WILL DIE FOR OUR COUNTRY, THERE ARE PLENTY WHO WILL KILL FOR IT: Drone Deaths from Obama to Trump.

BEN RHODES AND BARACK OBAMA: The globalists are a tribe too and they are being eclipsed.

GERMANY AND RUSSIA: Better than we think.

QATAR VS SAUDI ARABIA: Is Qatar winning the battle for US approval? Thy have certainly won everyone else over against the anti-nationalist schemes of MbS of Saudi Arabia. A meeting coming up to reevaluate. The Saudis seem weak and desperate - not a good combination. We have long argued that the future in the Mideast should belong to Sunni nations who accept Shiite nations as well in the region. Qatar is much better in this respect than Saudi Arabia. One of the great contributions of Secretary of Sate Rex Tillerson was his understanding of the stabilizing role of Qatar. He put the breaks on treating as  pariah the nation where our fleet and al Jazeera News reside.  One of the contributions of the Obama presidency and Secretary of State Kerry was their understanding that the the US would not be served by joining a war alliance against the Shiite nation of Iran orchestrated by Saudi Arabia and Israel. Getting your allies and enemies straight is fundamental in international relations. Misunderstanding the religious movement which is the real enemy of the United States and the civilized nations has been the great intelligence failure of our times.
