I don’t know how it got the name “The Benedict Option,” but it’s suicide. Obama (elected by Catholics) is allowing ISIS to stream into the U.S. We will see Catholics and other Christians getting their throats cut before Obama leaves office.
But the Catholic bishops in the U.S. have been murdering the Church for decades.
Joseph Bernardin probably did more to murder the Catholic Church in the U.S. than any other prelate. His “Seamless Garment” was the theory that pro-abortion politicians will govern with compassion, justice, and wisdom—and will give us peace. And that pro-life politicians want to kill the poor, serve the rich, and blow up the world. And almost all American bishops pushed this excrement on their priests and people.
The elections of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the gifts Bernardin has given the United States.
Obama (once on the payroll of Bernardin) is allowing ISIS to stream across the border. ISIS will want to strike against Christians in the U.S. while they have an ally in the White House—that is, before January 20, 2017.
The last four (or so) Popes have sent the United States wave after wave of anti-American, anti-Catholic bishops, intent on destroying both the country and the Catholic Church. Then, surveying the wreckage, the same Popes have whined about the lack of orthodoxy in the hierarchy.
The Democrat party is a demonic cult that still has the loyalty of many, many American bishops, priests, and laity.
The muslims are way ahead of you - remember the woman who was beheaded at a meat packing plant in Oklahoma last fall by Acute Jihadi Sydrome? This affliction is incurable, it appears- the only way to put it into remission is a treatment of even harsher severity. Everyone must have the tools and willingness (i.e., guns and ammo) to defend themselves in all Nations. Muslim survivors must then be forced to live peacefully or suffer the ultimate consequence. Communism/islam- it’s all the same in its evilness - We cannot accomodate or compromise with the Devil’s foot soldiers, or we will see history repeat itself.
The “Benedict Option”, as I have inferred anyway, means taking rather, a bunker mentality. Benedict was under tremendous oppression from the Enemy inside and outside the Church. He hadn’t the physical strength to play whack a mole, but he was and remains a spiritual saint on wheels and very wise. So he gathered up his robe and prayer shawl and took to prayer.
He took to the cottage and to prayer alone.
Otherwise, it seems to be hand to hand combat and shoe leather. Which is it? Which are we reasonably called to do. Battle outwardly, or Benedict interiorly? That decision will come to all.
I find it disturbing that both Catholics and Jews support uber- progressives, but I think it is probably true in the Christian church now. Christians and other non- Islamists are being slaughtered, raped and video captured, and yet everyone is more concerned with Hillary pantsuit. We are headed to Nazi Germany, and we are headed there quickly. Operation Jade Helm..
