If the Catholic Church is subverted by liberals, it will not be the first to fall. Already, the Anglican Church is no longer Christian in any meaningful sense. The principal leader of the church is not a Christian but a moonbat:

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the world’s foremost Anglican prelate, wants universities that [allow] trans people to be “insulted” to face funding cuts and loss of status.

Coming out of Pride Month, we are all well aware that to “insult” a trans person is to say anything they construe as unsupportive. This will soon be a felony in Michigan.

This is not sensitivity. It is worship. Welby must have set aside his Bible in favor of the Guardian before he got to the part that reads “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

The Church of England, the mother church of the Episcopal Church in the United States, has become increasingly political, pushing open borders and encouraging children to “play with the many cloaks of [gender] identity” in schools. Anglican churches in Africa recently split from Welby after the Church of England decided to begin blessing same-sex marriages.

“Male and female he created them” is another Bible passage Welby must have missed out on, as well as the many passages condemning homosexual behavior in the strongest terms (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Romans 1:26-27, Jude 1:7, et cetera).

Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer. Anglican clergy could not get through the second word of it without tripping over their true religion, moonbattery:

The language in the Lord’s Prayer might be “problematic” for some people, the archbishop of York said Friday during his address to a meeting of the Church of England’s ruling body.

The Most Rev. Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, was specifically referring to the words “Our Father,” which opens the prayer that Jesus taught when his disciples asked him how they should pray.

“I know the word ‘father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life,” Cottrell said in his address.

Clowns like this are running the circus:

Cottrell is the second-most senior bishop of the church and the most senior in northern England, where he serves as the leader of 12 dioceses. Alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, Cottrell is a leading spokesperson on behalf of the Church of England.

Welby himself has declared God to be nonbinary.

This is what passes for an Anglican service now:

To prevent this appalling fate from befalling your church, never let moonbats get a foothold. As with every other institution, first they infiltrate, then they subvert and defile, finally they destroy.

Pope Francis has alarmed many Catholics with his seeming devotion to a different religion, namely moonbattery. This won’t reassure them:

Bill Clinton and Alex Soros met with Pope Francis during an unannounced private audience on July 5th. Alex Soros is chairman of the Open Society Foundations and the son of billionaire leftist financier George Soros.

As for Clinton, he was only recently supplanted by Hunter Biden as the apotheosis of liberal elite lawlessness and degeneracy.

Under George Soros, Open Society made significant monetary contributions to legalize abortion in traditional Catholic countries such as Ireland, Poland, and Mexico. The group has also supported efforts in the United States to promote abortion and change the political opinions of American Catholics in contradiction to Catholic teaching.

Not someone you want meeting with a left-leaning pope. Nor is Clinton, who likely hit it off with Francis better than he did with John Paul II as president:

Clinton previously made a 1994 visit to the Vatican, meeting with Pope St. John Paul II. Soon after the visit, the United States clashed with the Vatican about a UN proposal to guarantee abortion under international law.

When the Catholic Church succumbs to liberals on the sanctity of innocent life, you will know that it has become a church under enemy occupation.

On a tip from MrRightWingDave.

The way to set back Christianity is not to board up churches and throw priests into gulags like Joseph Stalin. An insidious approach has proven more effective. You have to infiltrate and subvert, as leftists have done with so many other institutions. This approach destroys Christian morale by convincing them that their churches are not worth attending. As the churches wither and die, they can be exploited to advance an anti-Christian agenda. This strategy applies also to ostensibly Christian universities.

For example:

Texas Christian University offered a “Queer Art of Drag” course for the spring 2023 semester that required students create “drag personas” and give a performance.

The course was offered by the school’s Women and Gender Studies department and was taught by Dr. Nino Testa, also known by his drag persona “Maria Von Clapp.”

“Clapp” may refer to the venereal diseases that spread like wildfire through the homosexual community.

According to the course website:

“Critical drag explores drag performance as an outlet for social critique, pedagogy, and queer world making.”

How do educrats at Christian schools react to those who do not share their commitment to “queer world making”? Promise Keepers found out:

Belmont University, a private Christian college in Nashville, Tennessee, announced last week it had canceled a scheduled event with Promise Keepers citing a conflict of values.

Promise Keepers, a noted Christian men’s ministry, said in a press release the event’s cancellation occurred after the ministry released a statement at the end of last month, reaffirming its support for biblical marriage between one man and one woman and what it perceives to be the dangers of gender ideology.

“We will not stand on the sidelines and remain quiet. As fathers, husbands, grandfathers, and young men—we see the dangers of gender ideology and the harm it causes,” the organization’s statement said. “At Promise Keepers, we believe it is more important than ever to stand up boldly for what we believe as Christians. God’s Word is very clear on this topic—and we also see the way gender ideology has damaged lives, mutilated bodies, and torn apart families in our own communities.”

Liberals can’t argue with that and still pretend to be Christian. So they deplatform.

Free speech fares about as well as Christianity on college campuses.

Promise Keepers CEO Ken Harrison was specifically told that the muzzling was in response to “the statement we put out a week before Pride week.”

Wonders Harrison,

“The state of Christian colleges today is really concerning and people need to know this, that Belmont is by no way unique in this way. If you go on their homepage it is all Christian this and Christian that and training people for Christ. What does that mean when you deny the basic tenets of scripture?”

It means these schools have been commandeered and are now the opposite of Christian.

What Joe Biden has been doing to the USA by enabling obscene displays on the White House lawn, other moonbats inflict on Christianity by infiltrating and subverting churches. The sacrilege is so over the top that yesterday in San Francisco, Calvary Presbyterian hosted what it openly billed as Drag Queen Bible Story Hour:

Join drag artists singer-songwriter Flamy Grant (aka, Matthew Blake-Lovegood) and storyteller Joann Fabrixxx (aka, The Rev. Sam Lundquist, PCUSA), as we drag into Pride Week with Christian contemporary music and Bible stories. Flamy is fresh from her one-woman show in San Jose, and Joann will have just preached a sermon at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. Stories will include What is God Like?, excerpts from the Growing in God’s Love Story Bible, and I Want to Be a Vase. This is a worship service for all ages—from womb to tomb!

Note that they explicitly target children. The appropriateness can be judged by the XXX in Joann Fabrixxx. As you might imagine, he is a truly creepy guy.

Disappointingly, the blasphemous church was not hit by lightning like the subverted First Congregational United Church in Massachusetts. The sin in San Francisco has built up enough by now to justify a major earthquake if not a large meteor.

On a tip from Roger in California.

Some of the pushback against LGBTism could be divine:

Rumors are false that a blasphemous homosexual “wedding” ceremony was taking place at the time lightning struck the First Congregational United Church in Spencer, Massachusetts earlier this month, but the subverted church did promote sin and insidiously conflate it with love:

There is still hope; the ruins were reconsecrated:

After the flames had charred the wood black, one beam fell across a chimney that remained standing, forming a cross.

Someone could be trying to get a message across.

Hopefully our deafness won’t require the message to get louder. How could Sodom and Gomorrah have done more to invite God’s wrath than America under effective LGBT rule, where even the largest Catholic healthcare system in the country inflicts sex change surgery on innocent children?

On tips from Ed McAninch and Chris Neilson.

Since this is the Pride Month, as the liberal establishment does not allow us to forget for an instant, let’s see what the King James Bible has to say about pride. A few examples:

[F]or in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay… —Tobit 4:13

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. —Proverbs 16:5

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. —Proverbs 16:18

A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. —Proverbs 29:23

For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride. —2 Esdras 8:50

Pride is hateful before God and man: and by both doth one commit iniquity. —Ecclesiasticus 10:7

The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, and his heart is turned away from his Maker. —Ecclesiasticus 10:12

For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination… —Ecclesiasticus 10:13

Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride. —Ecclesiasticus 16:8

Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day. —Judith 6:19

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. —Psalms 10:4

They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us. —1 Maccabees 3:20

Here’s how pride turns out:

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. —Malachi 4:1

It is not by accident that leftists named a central pillar of their ideology after one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Regarding the activities that the proud are encouraged to take pride in,

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. —Romans 1:27

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. —Jude 1:7

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. —Leviticus 20:13

As for the increasingly prominent transsexual aspect of LGBTism,

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. —Mark 10:6

You can see why moonbats would like to ban the book that has provided the moral framework for Western Civilization for the past 2,000 years.

It’s not as if we didn’t see this coming. The tolerant, open-minded liberals who rule over us have managed to ban the Bible in Utah’s second largest school district:

Officials in the Davis district – a 72,000-student district north of Salt Lake City – removed the religious text from elementary and middle schools but will keep it in high schools.

A committee with the district reviewed The Good Book after a complaint by a parent, and district officials say the committee is made up of parents, teachers and administrators.

There was also a complaint to remove the Book of Mormon from younger students’ libraries.

Such complaints come in response to countermoonbat attempts to remove homosexual child pornography from public schools, which liberals have characterized as book banning.

Even if the objective was only to make an idiotic point, denouncing the Bible as vulgar and violent resulted in the book that has provided the moral framework for Western Civilization for the past 2,000 years being removed from schools.

Liberals will shift their emphasis to the many passages in the Bible proscribing homosexuality when they ban the Bible at the federal level on the grounds that it is hate speech. Be sure you have a secure place to hide yours when we get to the point of Cultural Revolution-style house-to-house searches.

It’s a twofer for the leftists running the federal government; they hawk up a loogie and spit it in the face of both regular Americans and Christians worldwide with a single belligerent, juvenile, disgusting, anti-American, blasphemous, and — to put it mildly — divisive gesture. Under Democrat rule, Old Glory no longer represents the USA. A flag symbolizing homosexual degeneracy, transsexual psychosis, and antiwhite racism does:

Compounding the insult is the lie that militant perverts — who call the shots in our country or this flag would not be flying — are somehow oppressed. Either our liberal rulers think we are so dumb we would believe this, or they despise us enough to tell obvious lies to our faces. Also implied is an accusation that the Catholic Church persecutes degenerates by not embracing the LGBT lifestyle with sufficient zeal.

A few relevant facts for context:

• They call it the “Pride” flag. Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins in the Christian religion. Depraved lust, which the flag actually represents, is another of the sins.

• The flag is based on the rainbow in an arrogantly blasphemous appropriation from Christianity. The rainbow represents God’s covenant with mankind that He will never again punish us for our sins by flooding the world.

• Next Tuesday is D-Day. American heroes died on that day so that flags could fly that represent freedom, not a warped ideology centered on debauchery.

Daily Caller adds more context:

The Biden administration began a “worldwide effort” in 2021 to fly Pride flags at embassies around the world. Then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in 2021 the president has used “the power of the bully pulpit in his presidency to convey that transgender rights are human rights.”

Democrats certainly know how to put the bully into bully pulpit.

Note that the concept of human rights has been distorted out of recognition, the better to erode it.

Living under the rule of these creeps is not tolerable. They are desecrating our country.

To see what progressives are progressing toward, look beyond California, beyond even South Africa, to the place where leftists have achieved uncontested control — North Korea:

A two-year-old child and the toddler’s entire family have been sentenced to life in prison in North Korea after the parents were caught with a Bible in their possession.

The parents of the young child were sentenced to death.

According to the U.S. State Department, the two-year-old infant and other family members were sent to grueling prison camps.

At least they will be in good company there:

According to a new International Religious Freedom Report by the State Department, as many as 70,000 Christians are currently imprisoned in North Korea.

A majority of documented victims of the North Korean war on religion are women or girls. They are subject to sexual abuse and torture, because as in Hollywood,

Christians are regarded as on the lowest rung of North Korean society…

Let’s check in on the USA’s progress relative to the North Korean gold standard for moonbattery:

The Biden administration is doling out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a university program that has explicitly lumped the Republican Party, as well as Christian and conservative groups, into the same category as Nazis…

DHS’s Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP) provides funds to various public, private, and non-profit institutions — such as universities and county governments — “to establish or enhance capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.”

“Terrorism” as defined by Democrats includes Catholicism, as the FBI has repeatedly confirmed.

Note that the logo of the Christian Broadcasting Network can be found among others representing groups that have been targeted for marginalization, demonization, and eventual eradication by the tolerant open-minded liberals who rule over us:

North Korea is only a couple of elections (or a packed Supreme Court) away.

With liberals in the driver’s seat, news themes intersect at the point of absolute moonbattery. Take for example the themes of Biden’s comically inappropriate identity-based staffing choices (e.g., Kamala Harris for being a Woman of Color, Pete Buttigieg for being a sexual deviant, Karine Jean-Pierre for being both) and the leftist politicization of professional sports. These stories converge in the personage of the cross-dressing kleptomaniac Sam Brinton:

Joe Biden’s former nuclear waste czar, who in his off-hours liked to steal women’s luggage and then pose for selfies in their clothing, has another underreported entry on his curriculum vitae. Sam Brinton is also a member of the L.A. Dodgers’ favorite anti-Catholic political group, whose members dress up as drag nuns and mock Christ–and whose slogan is “go and sin some more.”

Presenting the guy Creepy Joe gave authority over nuclear waste in his natural — or should I say unnatural — milieu:

Blessedly, Brinton has finally been put in a cage where he belongs. If only we could say the same for Creepy Joe.

Before the Biden Administration named him to be a key contributor at the nuclear waste division at the Department of Energy, Brinton appeared on the show of a drag queen nun of the Boston branch of the Sisters and talked about his life and drag nun persona — Sister Ray Dee O’Active (get it?).

This reflects the type of people we have in charge under Democrat rule.

Even if Sam doesn’t get to stay in the ladies’ jail, at least it should cheer him up that the Los Angeles Dodgers caved to the woke mob so that the ceremony revering the explicitly blasphemous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is back on.

Transgressing moonbats can still be forced to step back, even in New York City, where the Church of St. Paul the Apostle has removed a display characterizing God as transsexual:

TheBlaze previously reported that the liberal-leaning parish featured a display entitled “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” next to the altar.

The display consisted of several paintings by Adah Unachukwu that supposedly mapped “the queer spiritual journey by three significant points: Sacrifice, Identity, and Communion.”

The display informed parishioners that “There is no devil.” Actually, there is a Devil, and he has infiltrated churches under the guise of political correctness. Pushback must be forceful and sustained, or Christianity will be subordinated to moonbattery just as the media and education establishments have been.

Manhattan’s Church of St. Paul the Apostle has already fallen:

The church, which is run by the Paulist Fathers, runs a ministry called “Out at St. Paul,” which the parish’s website says is “our ministry and outreach to the Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, and Queer community.”

The ministry has a website and a Facebook page. “The love of God affirms trans kids, protects trans kids, listens to trans kids, fights for trans kids, delights in trans kids,” reads the description of one featured photo.

Soon the same rhetoric will be applied to small children who can only be who they are by engaging in gay sex with adults.

Some sanity remains. The blasphemous display has been removed and the Archdiocese of New York is investigating. Let’s hope the church is restored to Christian hands and reconsecrated.

The leftists who dominate Europe are not indifferent to decency, virtue, and morality, but rather openly hostile. This has been made explicit at an art exhibit in the European Union Parliament building in Brussels:

The artwork, a series of photographs by lesbian Swedish photographer Elisabeth Ohlson, includes one of a man who is meant to represent Christ wearing a white robe and a halo made out of stars above his head. The man is surrounded by seven men who are wearing leather-based fetish clothing associated with BDSM fetishism.

Ohlson said the photographs are meant to depict Christ supporting homosexual rights.

Homosexuals/transsexuals are the most privileged group in modern society. No one needs to support homosexual rights. That would be like supporting gravity. When libs say “homosexual rights,” what they mean is “homosexual activity.”

Even most moonbats know that Christ came to redeem us from sin, not to encourage us to wallow in it. That’s why they get a thrill of transgression from excretions like Ohlson’s.

The exhibit … kicked off with a reception hosted by Malin Björk, a member of the European Parliament for the Swedish Left Party.

Glorification of sexual depravity and blasphemous desecration of Christianity are two sides of the same coin. It is the coin of the realm among leftists.

Ohlson demonstrates how to get mediocre artwork promoted by the liberal establishment:

The artist has a history of making blasphemous artwork that goes back decades. Starting in 1998, she toured Sweden with an exhibition called Ecce Homo, which contained several blasphemous depictions of Christ that promoted homosexuality, transgenderism, and BDSM fetishism. The exhibit was displayed in numerous churches that are in communion with the Lutheran Church of Sweden.

Beware fallen churches. The Church of Sweden is no longer Christian.

Thanks to moonbattery, this is what Europe has to offer now, in place of Leonardo da Vinci:

The Biden Regime has it in for Catholics, who continue to be targeted by the FBI. Now it has issued an ultimatum to the top-rated Catholic hospital network in Oklahoma, demanding the removal of a sanctuary candle:

Saint Francis Hospital South in Tulsa, OK, has kept the candle in question for fifteen consecutive years. The non-profit Saint Francis Health System, which runs the hospital, has kept the tradition of hospital chapels, complete with active sanctuary candles, since they were established in 1960. The network also operates the nearby St. Francis Hospital, which is the largest hospital in the state of Oklahoma.

The federal government never gives away our money for free. Every inflated penny comes with strings attached. Once people become dependent on it, the money becomes leverage to enforce tyrannical demands.

Saint Francis Hospital South, which serves much of the southeastern Tulsa area, is faced with losing accreditation to serve recipients of Medicare, Medicaid, or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), if the Catholic organization does not comply with the administration’s demand.

Attorney Lori Windham sent a letter pleading with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra to be merciful and not deny low-income patients life-saving healthcare.

Becerra is a self-described “committed Catholic.”

Yeah right. So is the radical abortion and transsexuality advocate Joe Biden. Democrats have only one religion; it is not Christianity.

The attack on First Amendment religious liberty is blatant:

“The Code of Canon Law requires that wherever the Blessed Sacrament is kept, a special lamp must shine continuously,” [Windham] writes. Therefore, if the candle is to be removed, in order to comply with Church doctrine, the Blessed Sacrament must be as well.

I thought the pretext might be global warming, but apparently Democrats are framing it as a safety hazard. If this flies, they might ban communion wafers in case someone chokes on one.

With today’s Democrats, politics is not just a matter of squabbling over policy. We are defending freedom from tyranny, good from evil.
