In an article entitled, "Atheists Plan to Arrest the Pope," author Chris Pollard writes, "Atheist writers Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, who hired the human rights experts, want to exploit the legal principle used to nick late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. He was seized on a medical visit here in 1998....The pair hope to either convince Crown prosecutors to take the case, launch their own civil action, or refer it to the International Criminal Court." http://worthreading.ning.com/profiles/blogs/atheists-plan-to-arrest-pope
Moral imbecile Christopher Hitchens brazenly trumpeted: "The institutionalized concealment of child rape is a crime under any law."
"Woe be to you hypocrites which strain out a gnat and swallow whole a camel! Woe be unto you, you think to cover your wickedness by the just judgment of God, but it is yourselves you thereby condemn!" Matthew 23
As is so nauseatingly common in our spiritually-dark times, Hitchens, Dawkins, and legions of hypocrites like them are conveniently blind to their own evils while seeing clearly the sins of others, especially of those who stand for God , truth, and moral rightness but who have fallen short.
All decent, right-thinking people will agree that child rape is evil. However, if it is evil when wicked priests do it, then it is evil always and everywhere without exception. However, wrong-thinking, morally insane Hitchens and his sorry ilk are not in agreement with decent, right-thinking people. We can see the truth of this claim by what Hitchens and moral imbecile Dawkins carefully omit from their faux moral outrage. Note that they accuse the Church of evil-doing but not progressive liberal shock troopers of evil, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and GLSEN, for example. These evil-minded wolves in sheepskins are busily subverting and perverting youth in the name of 'gay' rights, but Hitchens and Dawkins are strangely silent on this subject. And what does 'gay' behavior really encompass anyway? All of the following: sodomy, lesbianism, bestiality, pedophilia, pederasty, coprophilia, fetishism, sadomasochism, rape, and murder. In short, everything unnatural, socially destructive, bent, criminal, and abhorrent:
"Nationwide, GLSEN has established GSAs in more than 3,000 Leftist controlled ‘indoctrination camps’ aka public schools. In bastions of Marxist control such as California and Massachusetts, GLSEN is brazenly ‘sensitizing’ youths into trying ‘diverse alternative’ lifestyle choices that decent people everywhere recoil in horror from. Both the infamous sadomasochistic “Fistgate” and “Little Black Book—Queer in the 21st Century” were sponsored in part by GLSEN" (Fistgate Special Report, http://www.massnews.com; The Little Black Book, Http://www.article8.org)
"Towards the goal of perverting and subverting children, a California GSA had its middle and high school members march in the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade in June 2003. They mingled freely with nude males, topless females, and sadomasochists. Simulated sex acts were performed along the parade route. At least one sign read, “Sodomize me, it’s legal!” ....GLSEN used a yellow school bus to ferry youths to the parade".

"The creation of gender confusion among boys and girls is being taken to a new extreme in the Maple Shade School District in Burlington County, Ne.......During Women’s History Month, boys are being asked to wear dresses to school to celebrate the history month....It is probably no coincidence that the cross-dressing day is to take place on April 16, which is the gay activists “Day of Silence” – pushed by the GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network. (GLSEN was founded by Kevin Jennings, who is currently Obama’s Safe and Drug Free Schools Czar.).....The promotion of cross-dressing for boys is part of the overall political agenda of GLSEN and other LGBT activist organizations." (Source: http://worthreading.ning.com/profiles/blogs/school-wants-boys-to-wear)
In an article entitled, "Hundred Years of Pedophilia," Olavo de Carvalho warns of evils yet to come:
"In Greece and in the Roman Empire, the use of minors for the sexual satisfaction of adults was a tolerated and even prized costume.(sic) In China, castrating young boys to sell them to rich pederasts was legitimate commerce during millennia. In the Islamic world, the rigid morals that ordain the relationships between men and women was not rarely compensated by the tolerance with homosexual pedophilia. In some countries this lasted all least until the beginning of the 20th century, making Algeria, for example, a garden of delights for depraved travelers (read the memoirs of André Gide, “Si le grain ne meurt”). ....In all the places where the practice of pedophilia receded, it was the influence of Christianism — practically alone — that freed the children from this awful rule. .....But this had a price. It is as if an undercurrent of hate and resentment had gone through two millennia of history, waiting for the moment of revenge. This moment has arrived. " (http://www.olavodecarvalho.org/traducoes/pedophilia.htm)
The undercurrent of 'hate, resentment and revenge' works through the programmatic subversion and perversion of America's youth and is visible in the rotten fruit it has thus far produced:
The 'gaying' of America has now compromised the last bastion of moral sanity: the Conservative movement's CPAC. In the following YouTube video, Ryan Sorba of California Young Americans condemns CPAC for inviting GOProud, a political group comprised of individuals who identify themselves not by male-female sex norms but by their irrational feelings, destructive compulsions and appetites. Sorba is virulently booed and hissed off stage by the terrible infants whose underlying threat is: Give into our appetites or we will destroy you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuBlFflPOIg
On April 25, between 150-200 students converged on a handful of parents demonstrating outside Brookline High School to protest the pro-homosexual 'Day of Silence.' One father describes the depravity he was met with:
"My arguments in my flyer seemed devastating to the gay agenda and totally captivated the students. . . At least one hundred kids were surrounding me like buzzing bees debating these arguments, some yelling degrading comments like "moron", "idiot", cursing, occasionally throwing food and wads of paper at me, burning my flyer, doing simulated homosexual sex acts, telling me they were going to sodomize me, boys were kissing and making out with other boys and girls were making out and fondling other girls to loud ecstatic cheering. I was amazed that none of these kids were even told to go to their classes! One boy walked past me several times over the course of a few hours eerily holding up two fingers clad in surgical gloves. It was like being in Sodom and Gomorrah! However, I couldn't help but feel compassion.." (http://www.massresistance.org/docs/events07/day_of_defiance/index.html )
When youth eventually find themselves spiritually dead, burnt-out, sterile, drug addicted, and diseased as a consequence of the depraved mind-conditioning and hedonism promoted by moral imbeciles, the criminally insane and other wolves in sheepskin, what do the wicked say to them in consolation? In essence: "Just go ahead and keep right on fornicating yourselves to death and save the planet! "
Yes indeed, sanctioned by the 'just judgments of God' but twisted out of shape and turned upside-down, hypocritical shock troopers of evil are conditioning youth throughout the West to rebel against their own parents, to hate God, to hate white people, to hate parents, to hold in contempt male-female sex norms, to hate their own society, to make themselves sexually available to each other, to flesh peddlers, and to evil-minded pedophile-pederast-teachers. Note that these transgressions, these evils, are very carefully omitted by hypocrites Hitchens and Dawkins.
Collectively, these and all other progressive-induced evils plaguing Western society are the 'politically correct' gorilla squatting in and obscenely 'dumping all over' the living room of the West, and Hitchens and his sorry ilk, which now includes some who pretend to be Conservatives, not only carefully avert their eyes from the gorilla but speak no evil about it, for truth be told, they and their unholy brethren see the filthy, stinking gorilla as something good. Like flies to dung, they are attracted to its filth and putrid stench.
The West's power-mad, genitally-obsessed shock troopers of evil are nothing new. Under the tyrant Nimrod who called himself god, hedonists of every bent were given plenty of license to commit every evil of which their twisted psyches conceived. As historians have disclosed, children of both sexes were freely used for every sort of evil appetite. Nimrod commonly made 'use' of other men's wives as well as other female family members. The Tower of Babel was in fact, merely an earlier version of Sodom and Gomorrah where the rationale for liberty was the license to gratify illicit passions---unholy lusts.
The Soviet Union, heralded as a 'worker's paradise' and by Progressive Socialists as 'the mother country' was nothing more than a modern day reprisal of Nimrod's totalitarian Tower. The genitally obsessed were seduced by promises of 'free love.' What was 'free love'? In his well-researched expose of Communism, The Naked Communist, author W. Cleon Skousen reveals that 'free love' was made possible when women were declared the property of the pagan-materialist god-state. Anarchists were given control of the sex-slaves and they then issued 'usage' licenses to 'workers.' In other words, women were forcibly dominated and violated and this was called 'free love.' Skousen quotes a Communist official who says:
"There is no such thing as a woman being violated by a man; he who says that a violation is wrong denies the October Communist Revolution. To defend a violated woman is to reveal oneself as a bourgeois and a partisan of private property." (The Naked Communist, Skousen, p. 73)
Throughout America and the West, the ground has long been prepared for the next transgression: the conditioning of youth to make themselves available to evil-minded adult deviants throughout the general population.
In anticipation, iniquitous fantasies have already been scripted within the satanically-twisted imaginations of the criminally insane throughout 'gay' conclaves and elsewhere. San Francisco's Castro District, considered to be on the pioneering edge of the 'gay' rights movement is setting the tone for the New Age neo-pagan spiritual paradigm with its ideal of androgyny in replacement of oppressive male-female sex norms, writes Peter Jones and Tal Brookes in their collaborative essay, "Strange Fire: The Invasion of Pagan Spirituality."
Once a small aberrant pinpoint on a map, the 'politically correct' Progressive Castro District is now free to 'normalize' and spread its sicknesses in the name of politically correct diversity, gay rights, tolerance, and progress. Illustrating the growing fascination for Castro District's strange fire, The Village Voice announced a cultural milestone:
"This week (March 2-3, 2000) New York University hosts a conference to celebrate Dennis Cooper, the 47-year-old writer who has come closer than anyone to reanimating the spirit of Burroughs." A homosexual pedophile, Coopers' "two great themes are murder and rimming...A dedicated young following---of both sexes and all sexualities---has honed in on Cooper, and his name keeps popping up on the pomo pedagogy circuit." "Every work of Cooper's 'produces a minor insurrection on several levels'....his work is as dangerous and exhilarating as Madame Bovary (though) in Cooper's case, the object of forbidden desire is...a drugged-out, dissociated boy---the kind of kid who could get picked up on a freeway, taken to some basement, raped, and disemboweled." (Strange Fire: The Invasion of Pagan Spirituality, SCP Journal, Vol. 25:2-26:1 2002)
Totalitarianism and the Depravity of Man
"Make yourself sheep, and the wolves will eat you." warned Ben Franklin
Depraved wolves brazenly declare: "Life has no rules." EST's Werner Erhard
Those who love morally-ordered freedom, decency and order versus those who lust after power, chaos, and dung in a Tower of Babel are aptly described by John Milton:
"None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope than under tyrants." John Milton (1608-1674) English Poet, Scholar, Writer, Patriot
We cannot understand the seething hatred of God, the treachery, pathological lying, obscenity, perversity, blasphemy, the subversion and perversion of youth, the power grabbing, megalomania, and other evils so obviously endemic here in America and throughout the West unless we return to the Biblical view of man:
"....the basic insights of the Christian faith provide the best insight we have into the nature of man and of the crisis we find ourselves in..." observed Conservative John Hallowell. (The Conservative Intellectual Movement, George Nash, p. 53)
No concept gives "deeper insight into the enigma that is man" than original sin. Evil is not just a "bad dream," warned Richard Weaver, author of "Ideas Have Consequences." Evil is not "an accident of history," or the "creation of a few antisocial men." It is a "subtle, protean force," and original sin is a "parabolical expression" of this "immemorial tendency of man to do the wrong thing when he knows the right thing." (ibid)
Man is not born good, as self-deluded Progressive Liberals of both atheist and cosmic humanist schools claim. Nor is man 'evolving' to some higher, more godlike spiritual state. The ugly truth is that all men are born terrible-willed hedonists, says Dr. Terry G. Shaw:
"To understand...principles of human behavior...we must first begin by accepting (that) all humans are born hedonists (aka narcissists) and have an intrinsic need to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and engage in those activities that best accomplish both with the least amount of effort." (Born Liberal Raised Right, Reb Bradley, p.19)
In 1926, Governor Theodore Christianson of Minnesota established the Minnesota Crime Commission to study crime and evaluate its causes. The commission eventually concluded that criminal tendencies were not the result of poverty, education, or environment. Instead, it offered the following brutal observation:
"Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmates toys...or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which could be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty; he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children, but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free rein to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist." (ibid, p. 21)
The architects of our nation were men who did not shy away from the ugly truth about man's Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde nature, which meant that if the American experiment in national self-government was to succeed, then as the Founders strongly advised, all children would need to be trained against their natural self-centered inclinations from birth:
"Since private and public Vices, are in Reality...connected (it is necessary) that the Utmost Pains be taken by the Public, to have the Principle of Virtue early inculcated on the minds of...children, and the moral Sense kept alive...For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued when knowledge is diffused and Virtue preserved. On the contrary, when People are universally ignorant and debauched...they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign invaders." (Our Sacred Honor, Bennett, p. 26)
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin, quoted in Born Liberal Raised Right, p. 15)
"The government...can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any other despotic or oppressive form so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people." George Washington (ibid)
More than forty years ago, repentant ex-Communist Alexander Solzhenitsyn called upon America and the West to turn back to the transcendent God . He testified to the evils he had committed and repented of, and perceptively noted that Communism and the gulag are the logical end of modern history once God the Father, Original Sin, immutable truth and universal morality have been removed from men's lives. Evil cuts through the heart of every man, noted Solzhenitsyn, and atheism is the outworking of that evil---the madness-- in man's nature while the unrestrained madness, murder, and Gulag are the logical expressions of this evil. In summation, Communism---modernity's Tower of Babel-- is "... a concentration of world evil, of hatred for humanity..." (Communism: A Legacy of Terror, 1976)
A tsunami of concentrated evil swept over Orthodox Russia. Historian R.J. Rummel details some of its evils:
"...communism--Marxism-Leninism and its variants---meant in practice bloody terrorism, deadly purges, lethal gulags and forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines, extrajudicial executions and show trials, and genocide." With this understood, "the Soviet Union appears the greatest megamurderer of all...killing near 61,000,000." (http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/POWER.ART.HTM)
With America and the West "universally ignorant and debauched," the West is sinking under its own corrupt weight, and totalitarianism is triumphing:
"The greatest triumph of Marxism will not be the victory over the temporal, political, and economic orders, but rather, the destruction of the human spirit, the transformation of a free people into a nation of bystanders, executioners of their own and their neighbor’s God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If Barack Obama is not stopped in this course, we will be legislated and Executive Ordered into the mental and physical Gulag. We will first tolerate in the name of patriotic obedience, then endure in the name of personal preservation, that dehumanizing servitude from which we spent a century fighting to deliver the rest of the world. (What Will Our Children Say to Us? Three Commandments to Add to the Decalogue, Jessica M.; http://worthreading.ning.com/profiles/blogs/what-will-our-children-say-of)
Over fifty years ago, Conservative John Hallowell wrote that if America and the West are to find redemption from the tyranny of evil, "We must restore to our vocabulary a word discarded long ago, namely sin." (The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, George Nash, p. 52)
If we do not, then wicked delinquents will continue pretending that they are good and the truly good, decent people are evil. The genitally-obsessed will continue to pretend that their erotomania is normal, harmless, and deserving of rights, which means that tots to teens ought to be taught its' unholy delights. Pretending that their power-grabbing is really for the 'common good,' god-man megalomaniacs will continue brazenly grabbing power until we have become their slaves. Liars will continue lying and pretending that their falsehoods are truth. Moral imbeciles and the criminally insane will continue sanctioning evils by the faux-moral authority of progress, multiculturalism, green sustainability, diversity, 'gay' rights, scientism, inclusion and the rest of the morally-bankrupt politically correct canon. And finally, when the moral imbeciles and the criminally insane have firmly grasped Saurons' One Ring of Power, a 'protean force of evil' will completely transform our society into a stinking rotten, fly-infested dung-hill, a murderous Sodom and Gomorrah where irrational Libido Dominandi---the evil will to power---is the total controlling factor. In other words, we and our children will become the slaves of evil tyrants and hedonists, and live or die in gratification of their evil lusts. The unrestrained depravity of man is the tyranny of evil which in a nutshell, is the 'parabolical expression' of totalitarianism.

There have been so many articles about the attacks on the Catholic Church that it is impossible to read or post all of them, or even a quarter of them.
This article, while not addressing the details of the subject (who did what when, what was/wasn’t/should/shouldn’t have been done, who was responsible, it’s better now, etc) - gets to the real heart of the matter. Why these attackers hate the Church - because they hate God.
Thanks for the ping!
snip: A spiritual regeneration is the only cure for the spiritual sickness that is the root cause of all these evils.
Spirited: Right there, in a nutshell, is the crux of the situation. The early Conservatives came from backgrounds of communism, socialism, and atheism. And as they saw the unfolding evils produced in the name of communism, progressivism, socialism, etc., they all-—like Hallowell-—realized that evil ideas lead to evil deeds.
These early conservatives turned back to God and repented of their sins and then with clear consciences (spiritual regeneration, in your words) were able to go forth and fight the good fight against the forces of evil.
The silence of the Reps mentioned by you is doubtless due to various causes, for instance: fear of being ‘not like the crowd,’ fear of loss of status, lack of moral convictions, apathy, and for many, dirty consciences. Consider for instance, the Rep. Log Cabins-—the ‘gay’ caucus. Their consciences are filthy dirty.
For all too many today, pride (narcissism) is the stumbling block to the desperately needed spiritual regeneration our dreadfully sick, increasingly twisted society needs.
For this reason, I dare say that Kimball’s essay is an affront to many rather than the neon arrow pointing to what is necessary.
Please keep speaking out.

LJ: Why these attackers hate the Church - because they hate God
Spirited: Christendom died long ago, and what emerged out of its’ dead body was a spiritually dead secular state described so very well by Mark Steyn.
W. Europe’s acedia is so extreme that people there for the most part, are like deer helplessly mezmerized by the headlights of the onrushing jihadist-vehicle of doom. In essence, they believe in nothing so they defend nothing.
The point I’m driving at is this: With W. Europeans drowning in apathy and helplessness, just how much of a backlash would result if the Pope was arrested? If it were to be measured by America’s outrage at the blatant evils taking place here, what’s being done to our youth for instance, then it seems reasonable to believe that the criminally insane could pull off the arrest of the Pope with the expectation that what outrage that does occur will quickly drown in W. Europe’s sea of apathy.
Once the most powerful,influential Church has been decapitated, silencing the rest of them will be like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Just the thought of that possibility makes my skin crawl. ....Shudder.
You are absolutely correct about the onslaught of Islam - if the people of Europe had living faith in God, they would have the strength and the will to fight back against the takeover by Muslims. But they are now weak and without heart or higher intelligence. It’s a form of mass suicide - noted also in their below replacement birth rate, few marriages, and love for euthanasia. Cultural and national suicide.
I only hope that there are enough people in Europe who will not go down with the ship. I know they aren’t all hopeless faithless suicide cases, but so many are.
