Pope Francis -- Against the West?

From Pat Buchanan.

What the secular media reaction to Pope Francis reveals is that traditional Catholicism is today almost as deeply alien to our present-day West as it was in Roman times, only the West chooses to ignore Catholicism, where Rome feared and persecuted it.

They all like to say, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." Yet none keep the Lord's Sabbath, which is Saturday. None keep His feast days. None keep the Lord's dietary laws, that all changed according to them, while they die from starvation all while getting fat. Yet Jesus commanded us to keep His commandments, you know, the ones everyone says have changed - Yet Christ is somehow the same. He says He is the Word and He does not change. Yet, the great Whore and her daughters have changed everything. Will the Lord find any faith when He returns? Nothing He will recognize as faith - not the faith He established anyway. All the churches are now pagan, no matter what they say they believe, because they have forsaken Him. Remember, when you forsake His law and His Torah, you have forsaken His Word, God Himself. Don't be surprised when He says to you, "I never knew you, depart from me, workers of lawlessness (Torahlessness)."

He also says, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Will any listen and return to the path of righteousness? To the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and His Torah?

Ed said...: What a load of crap from Buchanan. The current Pope was born in Argentina, but his father was born elsewhere. If you go back enough generations, all "indigenous" people are from elsewhere. The only exceptions are some groups from Africa, and even that is not a consensus opinion. If you go back before Roman times, a southern Mediterranean sea-going culture existed from Syria to the Iberian peninsula, while a Celtic culture existed from the north of the Black Sea and Turkey in the east to northern Italy, the British Isles, Ireland and the Iberian peninsula in places called Galatia, Galicia and Gaul. But guess what? Things change. Ancient history courses cover the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures and the cultures they battled because of the monuments and writings that survived.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
