Transgender Pseudomonk

There is to be no Christianity in leftist utopia. Joseph Stalin attempted to do away with it by condemning the devout to die of starvation or exposure in gulags. Many priests and nuns were shot outright. Stalin’s ideological heirs have adopted a more effective approach: infiltrate, subvert, corrupt. If this insidious strategy succeeds, Christianity will be eradicated by hollowing it out and replacing its contents with its diametric opposite. For example:

Catholic hermit Brother Christian Matson of the Diocese of Lexington in Kentucky publicly announced [last] Sunday that he [sic] was transgender.

The 39-year-old Benedictine oblate believes he [sic] is “the first openly transgender person in his [sic] position in the Catholic Church,” according to Religion News Service (RNS).

Matson is a woman transmogrified into a facsimile of a man. She says she “transitioned” in 2006 and started pretending to be Catholic in 2010. Posing as a member of the opposite sex is not compatible with the Christian faith.

Matson took his vows to be a diocesan hermit in 2022 under Bishop John Stowe of the Diocese of Lexington in Kentucky. Stowe notably calls for more tolerance of LGBT people among Catholics…

This is not about tolerance. It is about infiltration, subversion, corruption, and eradication. Whether that is the conscious intent is irrelevant.

Rising Tide of Traditionalism Among US Catholics

Meanwhile, as the liberal establishmentarians staffing the hierarchy blasphemously subvert churches in the interest of moonbattery, the faithful are turning in the opposite direction:

Across the U.S., the Catholic Church is undergoing an immense shift. Generations of Catholics who embraced the modernizing tide sparked in the 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives who believe the church has been twisted by change, with the promise of eternal salvation replaced by guitar Masses, parish food pantries and casual indifference to church doctrine.

The shift, molded by plummeting church attendance, increasingly traditional priests and growing numbers of young Catholics searching for more orthodoxy, has reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them sometimes at odds with Pope Francis and much of the Catholic world.

Mind this is coming from the leftists at Associated Press.

Despite their growing influence, conservative Catholics remain a minority.

Yet the changes they have brought are impossible to miss. …

Younger priests, surveys show, are far more conservative.

Liberal corrosion has driven down church attendance, leaving only the most devout and laying the groundwork for a backlash against moonbattery.

The days of Catholics tolerating subversion by progressives like Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the blasphemy of blood-drenched pro-abortion militants like Biden and Pelosi being permitted to take communion may be numbered. A church that has lasted 2,000 years can outlast pernicious fads like liberalism.

United Methodist Church Rejects Christianity

It’s official; the United Methodist Church is no longer Christian. It has been absorbed into the cult of our degenerate ruling class. Consequently, church members are now expected to worship moonbattery:

The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.

Homosexuality is strictly proscribed throughout both Testaments. Embracing not repentant sinners but sin itself is an explicit rejection of Christianity. Sanctifying sin through the clergy and wedding ceremonies goes farther. It is blasphemy.

There was no floor debate. Those who would have put up a fight have already walked out:

[I]n the years leading up to this General Conference, about one-quarter of United Methodist congregations in the U-S left the denomination.

Those who don’t leave now have a higher authority to answer to than the kooks who have desecrated and destroyed their church.

Prayer to Satan Opens County Commissioners Meeting

We are at an inflection point. Leftists must feel confident that they will prevail. They are dropping pretenses and showing us what they really are by rallying in support of terror atrocities and praying to Satan:

A chaotic scene unfolded before Ottawa County commissioners Tuesday as a member of The Satanic Temple of West Michigan gave the board’s opening prayer, with protesters chanting and singing nearby.

A man who gave his name as Luis Cypher delivered a brief speech before commissioners, mostly reiterating the principles of his organization.

Once again, the crowbar used to open the door for the Devil was LGBTism:

The Satanic Temple of West Michigan was able to make the invocation speaker’s list because of a January 2024 change in board policy that allowed pastors to speak on a first-come, first-served basis as long as they follow a set procedure.

Commissioners changed the policy after a Grand Haven pastor who supports LGBTQ rights complained he was not chosen as an invocation speaker after asking twice. He filed a lawsuit that is ongoing.

At least there was some pushback at the board meeting. Christians gathered in the foyer in a show of resistance.

One man began to yell “Hail satan.” Others yelled “We Love Jesus.”

There is no way to make sense of the sheer malice of leftist ideology without reference to evil as an end in itself, so the growing visibility of Devil worshipers should take no one by surprise.

Biden Blasphemes on Behalf of Abortion

Even amid calls from within the Catholic Church for Joe Biden’s excommunication, he continues to double down on blasphemy:

Biden made the Sign of the Cross in response to pro-abortion comments made by Democrat Nikki Fried, who was standing next to the president.

The gesture came while the president was listening to Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried slam her state’s pro-life law. …

His gesture occurred moments before he delivered a speech in Florida in favor of legal abortion.

It would be hard to imagine anything less Christian than snuffing out innocent life to facilitate degeneracy. Abortion is a sacrament to leftists precisely because it is so profoundly wrong. It is their way of flipping the middle finger to God, as Biden underscored.

Metalworker Fired for Committing Christianity

To remain employed as a metalworker in this country, you have to meet certain job requirements — like preferring the LGBT religion to Christianity:

Daniel Snyder was fired from his job as a metalworker because he objected to his employer’s use of a rainbow to promote gay pride month.

Snyder worked for the aluminum manufacturing firm Arconic.

Thomas More Society attorney Michael McHale comes to his defense:

“[Snyder] sincerely believes that the Bible shows that the rainbow is a sign of the covenant between God and man, and thus that it is sacrilegious to use the rainbow to promote relationships and ideologies that violate God’s law.”

All Christians and Jews who follow the Bible share this belief (see Genesis 9). But they had better keep this view to themselves.

Arconic notified Snyder that his comment offended a fellow employee, and the 62-year-old worker was then suspended and terminated, allegedly for violating the company’s “Diversity Policy.”

Snyder evidently committed his thoughtcrime while completing a company survey.

The purpose of diversity policies is to eradicate diversity. When utopia has been achieved, everyone will be a moonbat — or lie and pretend to be.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano Defends Faith From Biden

Some are pushing back. Like Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano calls for the Catholic Church to preserve its credibility by excommunicating the belligerently blasphemous leftist creep in the White House. In response to Biden’s Easter Transgender Day of Visibility proclamation, Vigano defends the faith:

The unprecedented and scandalous proclamation of March 31 as “Transgender Visibility Day” by self-styled U.S. President Joe Biden — who dares to declare himself a Catholic — constitutes a most serious offense to God and to millions of Catholics and Christians in America and around the world, before which it is impossible not to react with due firmness. …

I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion.

Vigano decries “a world awash in execrable perversions that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.” He gets what Sunday’s Democrat Easter blasphemy represents:

Christians are progressively banished from civil society and considered a threat to the subversive project of the New World Order, while a minority of the vicious and perverted claim to erect their deviations as the universal norm. Here is the “visibility” of Biden and the woke ideology, celebrating a macabre mad dance to the abyss.

We’re going into the abyss with them if we fail to turn the ship around.

Cartoon Network Pushed Trans Depravity on Easter

Letting television babysit your kids is not wise. Consider that the Cartoon Network joined Democrats Sunday in hyping yet another day designated to the veneration of sexual perversion — at the expense of Easter:

Cartoon Network made sure to post in celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility on Sunday, but made no mention of the fact that Easter Sunday also fell on March 31st this year — this despite the fact that 1.6 million Americans over 13 identify as transgender, and over 200 million identify as Christian and presumably celebrate Easter.

To flip those numbers around, social engineers prey on impressionable children.
