Pride Month Zealots Launch Economic Warfare On Homesteading Catholic Family
The Federalist ^ | JUNE 09, 2023 | EVITA DUFFY-ALFONSO

Long before the left invented “pride month,” the Catholic Church dedicated June to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a tradition originating from the 17th-century visions of Christ received by French nun St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Enter Ross McKnight, a Louisiana Catholic father of five and owner of Backwater Foie Gras, whose business is now under attack after he made an Instagram post on Sunday commemorating the Sacred Heart of Jesus that provided his followers with ways they can protect themselves from “false pride” and counter the “attempted coup of the month of June.” 

McKnight’s post was fairly innocuous, encouraging his followers to adhere to the traditional liturgical calendar — instead of the new secular one — and to hold onto their French Catholic identity by “enthron[ing] the Sacred Heart in your home this month,” “Wear[ing] the Sacred Heart as a badge wherever you go,” “Pray[ing] the Rosary” in French, and reading his blog post titled, “This Tremendous Weight.”

“The push to have every mainstream value and holiday represented in some way in our Louisiana ought to make no sense at all to any Louisianais or Louisianaise, unless recognized as a forward offensive by an ever-encroaching enemy that has sought for generations to destroy our unique culture which is so intimately tied to our Catholic identity,” wrote McKnight.

Within a few hours of his Instagram post, several of McKnight’s customers, some of whom he had a personal relationship with, began canceling their orders. This included McKnight’s biggest clients — two high-end New Orleans restaurants that previously committed to buying from him throughout the summer.

Since his Instagram post, nearly two-thirds of McKnight’s business has evaporated, putting him and his family in a dire financial situation. Yet when interviewed by The Federalist, McKnight expressed a baffling sense of peace and even joy. “There’s that animal need to have food and shelter and clothing — certainly,” and “I’m concerned,” said McKnight. “But I don’t know how to precisely explain myself … I’ve lost everything overnight, but the suffering is valuable,” he said.

“If we don’t stand here, on the last assault of the family, then there’s no more ground left behind us,” McKnight explained. For him and his wife and children, defending the traditional family unit, their culture, and their faith is more important than anything.

No matter. Once word gets out, his orders will quintuple from normal people around the country who want to buy from a decent Christian.

I’ve never understood why there is Pride Month. A weekend is all that should be necessary.

"What are the names of these restaurants?"

What restaurants? The ones that are cancelling? Or his restaurant?

I am not interested in foie gras, but maybe he sells the birds those livers come from?

His company website doesn’t seem to have a mail-order function. No matter, I have sent them an email, asking if they ship across the country.

I bet thousands will do the same

And that will make the queers even madder. Don’t be surprised that if he survives this loss of business that some unhinged leftist will slaughter his clock or burn his farm.They want him to repent his sins against the orthodoxy of perversion and then disappear as an example. They won’t stop at a few canceled orders.

It would be nice if word got out naming the restaurants involved and decent people stop frequenting them.

It doesn’t deserve one day. Now the kooks want June for “pride” month and October for their history month.

God bless this man, and his family.
