At 8 pm, the Swiss Guards closed the gates of the Pope's summer palace in Castel Gandolfo. Then they left their posts. So
they demonstrated on 28 February 2013 that Benedict XVI was now Supreme Pontiff emeritus, a Pope retired. Benedict retired to a convent in the Vatican and vowed to continue to live like a monk and leave the field to the successor. Benedict however cracks open the doors again this Friday...

Baalism's Suicidal Nature Worship and Sexual Decadence (Earth Day)

| 4/22/16 | Mark Musser
Much of ancient Israel’s plight, well documented throughout the Old Testament, was its insatiable thirst for pagan nature worship. This
of course was in direct violation of the first two commandments of the Mosaic Law which commanded Israel not to worship any other false god or idol (Exodus 20:3-4). The reason why Israel was forbidden to worship other gods, the natural created order, and idols, was given in Genesis. Genesis 1 presents to the reader an ultimate Creator who made the universe out of nothing through His omnipotent spoken word, and then climaxed the creation process with the making of...

Campaign talk of tax cuts, free trade, bans on abortion and gay marriage, and repealing Obamacare may appeal to the keepers of right-wing orthodoxy at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference but simply has little resonance with voters earning too little to pay meaningful federal income taxes, or afford more expensive necessities
at Wal-Mart, a decent home or health insurance without a $5000 deductible. History teaches that frustrated expectations and rising inequality—falling average family incomes alongside twenty-something Wall Street traders and software developers earning vast sums—is a highly combustible combination. The man on the white horse usually provides the match—often...

Trump is a master at sensing and exploiting decay. His
showmanship impresses, his bullying intimidates, his bravado seems bracing. But while decadence may explain a demagogue's success, it is no excuse for yielding. We at The Weekly Standard are certainly not immune to its appeal. But at key moments, the votaries of freedom must be able to resist the temptations of decadence. They must gather their forces and fight. For now, that means fighting to deny a "buffoon and opportunist" who makes "idiotic and racist" comments the nomination of the Republican party. Trump has so far won about 38 percent...

The decadence of American politics

THE ILLNESS of American politics is an inversion of Israel’s. Watching what is happening these days in American politics, people who care for the US are rubbing their eyes in disbelief: Is this really happening or is it just a bad dream? Did
we really just hear a leading candidate for the sole superpower’s presidency, a potential successor to Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt, allude to an interviewer’s period, besmirch black youths as lacking spirit, defame Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, and vow to make Mexico pay for an anti-immigrant wall he would stretch from California to Texas? Did we...

Catholic Bishop: 'Moral Decadence' of 21st Century West 'Rivals Decline & Fall of Roman Empire’

| 8/11/15 | Barbara Hollingsworth
Bishop Thomas Paprocki says that the “moral decadence of our 21st century Western world now rivals the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.”“Historians tell us that abortion and infanticide were widespread, commonplace, and for the most part legal in the classical world of the Greeks and Romans," said Paprocki, the head
of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield, Illinois."Perhaps if they had the technology at the time, they would have sold fetal body parts for profit,” the bishop said in a July 26 video response to undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress in which Planned Parenthood...

Gay Marriage Legalization is another boost to Russian Propaganda of the West's Decadence
|

Today | Freeps
Is this not the perfect thing for use in convincing the Russians that the West and specifically the United States are decadent? In
the anti-gay Russian mentality, eastern Europe is defenseless and won't be defended by the United States and by extension NATO. It is almost a red carpet invitation to invade the rest of Ukraine or another country.
