Salvation Army Switches Religions
No institution is immune from the Long March Through the Institutions. Once moonbattery has infiltrated, the rot spreads until the entire organization has been subverted and its original purpose subordinated to advancing leftism. This has happened even to the Salvation Army.
As noted earlier, when Chick-fil-A caved in to leftist bullies, it demonstrated submission by cutting off funding to the Salvation Army. Soon afterward, the Salvation Army followed suit:
The Salvation Army wants its white donors to give it more than just money this Christmas season. Its leadership is also demanding they apologize for being racist.
It’s part of a push by the Christian charitable organization to embrace the ideas of Black Lives Matter, an activist group working to, among other things, “dismantle white privilege” and “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.”
The Salvation Army’s Alexandria-based leadership has created an “International Social Justice Commission” which has developed and released a “resource” to educate its white donors, volunteers and employees called Let’s Talk about Racism. It asserts Christianity is institutionally racist, calling for white Christians to repent and offer “a sincere apology” to blacks for being “antagonistic.. to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community.” …
In an accompanying Study Guide on Racism, Salvation Army authors explain that all whites are racist, even if they don’t realize it.
With the possible exception of satanism, it would be hard to imagine an ideology more antithetical to Christianity than the Black Lives Matter/critical race theory brand of cultural Marxism that the Salvation Army has embraced. Ideologues who denounce all members of races they hate as “racist” deny that we are not interchangeable representatives of a race, but individuals with souls. As noted above, Black Lives Matter is explicitly hostile to the nuclear family, which it aspires to subvert and destroy. It was founded by self-avowed “trained Marxists.” Marxism is overtly hostile to Christianity; consequently, many Christians have perished under Marxist regimes. BLM promotes sexual perversion and degeneracy. Its ideology has inspired massive looting and hundreds of riots.
Not everyone is pleased to see the Salvation Army switch to the religion of wokeness:
“In my estimation, CRT is a Trojan horse taking in well-intentioned Christian enterprises that—because they care about justice and oppose oppression—naively promote the most serious threat to biblical Christianity I have seen in 50 years,” wrote Christian apologist and radio talk show host Greg Koukl in a Facebook post earlier this month.
Entitled An Open Letter to The Salvation Army, Koukl prefaces the post by informing TSA that he is terminating his monthly donations and directing them to another organization.
Koukl isn’t alone:
“I have been a faithful supporter of The Salvation Army for many years. My parents were supporters when they were alive, and they passed that down to me and my siblings. It was always a joy to see the red kettles around the holidays, as well as to hear of the efforts of TSA in helping the poor and those affected by disasters,” wrote Richard N. Nakano. “Now I have noticed TSA has taken a turn to the far left politically, championing and virtue signaling such ‘woke’ policies as LGBTQ ‘rights’ and CRT. I am very disappointed the TSA has turned away from its Christ-centered mission, and is now embracing such un-Christian, world-centered views.”
Nakano went on to write, “Until the TSA admits its error, denounces these woke views and turns back to its original foundations, I will NOT support it—financially or otherwise. There are other Christian organizations I can send my donations to, just as deserving and NOT politically subservient to the woke mob.”
Why give money to the Salvation Army when you can cut out the middle man and donate directly? Twitter top moonbat Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to Ibram Henry Rogers a.k.a. Ibram X. Kendi, whose race hate propaganda is explicitly endorsed by the Salvation Army.

Catholic University Replaces Jesus Christ With George Floyd
Stalin tried to crush Christianity through brute force, throwing priests and nuns into gulags and working them to death. Cultural Marxists take a more insidious approach. They hollow out the content of Christianity and replace it with their own religion, moonbattery. In the process, they commit blasphemy:
Paintings depicting George Floyd as Jesus Christ hang in both The Catholic University of America’s campus ministry office and its law school, The Daily Signal has learned.
Catholic University appeared to shrug off responsibility for the painting Monday, telling The Daily Signal that artist Kelly Latimore’s painting “Mama” depicts “the Virgin Mary supporting the body of the dead Christ”—although the artist has indicated repeatedly that his painting depicts both Floyd and Jesus.
Equating Jesus Christ with a career criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest makes “Piss Christ” almost reverential by comparison.
Students who came to Catholic University of America expecting respect for the Christian faith are kept in check by woke educrats:
“The icon has no place at The Catholic University of America; it is blasphemous and an offense to the Catholic faith, but it is not surprising at all that it was put there,” a junior at Catholic University told The Daily Signal in an email. “It is just another symptom of the liberalization and secularization of our campus.”
“There are many students, faculty, and staff who are concerned about this, but there is nothing we can do,” added the student, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of reprisal from the university administration. “And if we sound the alarm, we will be labeled racists.”
The student added this:
“The chaplain and the rest of Campus Ministry seem to think that their liberal version of social justice is the highest virtue, even more important than authentic expressions of the Catholic faith.”
The liberal version of social justice is their faith. You can only have one.
There is more to this than childish blasphemy for its own sake. The artwork represents a transition from what Christians worship to what liberals worship.
NEW: Paintings depicting George Floyd as Jesus Christ hang in both The Catholic University of America’s campus ministry office and its law school, students say.
