Remembering Our Blessed Mother's holy Assumption into Heaven.

Many of you know that Church Militant was originally founded back in 2006 to simply help Catholics (and anyone else) come to a greater love and appreciation of the Faith, to assist them in their spiritual journey.

Three years into that mission, we encountered massive evil and corruption in the hierarchy and quickly realized that evil, that lack of supernatural faith, was a detriment to people's embrace of the Faith. So we added to our already considerable theological arsenal, news reporting and investigations to help people come to understand how the corruption of the hierarchy was impacting their own spiritual lives.

That said, we never want to waver from what I would call our "core programming," the direct theological content. That is always available through a Premium subscription — thousands of hours and hundreds of episodes touching on practically every topic imaginable in the Faith.

We highly encourage you to sign up. It's only $10 per month and that gives you access to a vast storehouse not available anywhere else.

For example, today is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady. So we'd like to use this occasion to point to one of our multiple programs on the Blessed Mother. We are providing this episode for free, but again, highly encourage you to sign up today for direct access to all of our theological content.

Protestants cannot reject its existence.

When Church Militant was originally founded back in 2006, it was to help Catholics come to a greater love and appreciation of the Faith. That hasn't changed — at all.

Three years into that mission, we encountered massive evil and corruption in the hierarchy and quickly realized that evil, that lack of supernatural faith, was a detriment to people's embrace of the Faith.

So we added to our already considerable theological arsenal news reporting and investigations to help people come to understand how the corruption of the hierarchy was impacting their own spiritual lives.

...

It's often the case that Catholics are just as ignorant of this as Protestants. So in the spirit of our core mission, we are providing this episode for free but, again, highly encourage you to sign up today for direct access to all of our theological content.

Sola scriptura is a lie.

How does anyone know the Bible is inspired? The actual working of the Holy Spirit?

Not one single book in the Bible claims that of itself. So why do a couple billion Christians believe that (at least ostensibly)? There's only one reason. Very few people have actually thought more than 10 seconds about it.

When Church Militant was originally founded back in 2006, it was to help Catholics come to a greater love and appreciation of the Faith. That hasn't changed at all.

From Catholic majority to minority.

In the largest Catholic country in the world, it is now officially against the law to utter an anti-homosexual slur. Yes — against the law.

Last week, Brazil's Supreme Court, in a 9–1 decision, handed down the ruling, building on a 2019 ruling that said discrimination against the alphabet gang constitutes "racism," therefore saying something against them constitutes a racial slur.

And just so you know, you can go to prison for two to five years for that crime now. If more than one of you say something, the sentence is doubled — so there goes any kind of rally, demonstration or so forth.

How it might apply inside a Church, during a homily, for example, is unclear.

When John Paul went to Brazil in 1980, more than 90% of Brazil was Catholic. This year, just 43 years later, it's now 50%. For the first time in centuries, Catholics are about to lose the majority status in what is still the largest Catholic country (in terms of population) in the world.

What took hundreds of years to build has been wiped out in two generations.

And when that happens, it's a guarantee that the natural moral law will be jettisoned and the political–cultural system will follow suit, producing rulings like last week's. All of this is a result of a communist plan launched almost a century ago to destroy the West by destroying the Catholic Church by destroying morals and what those morals protect — the family, society's basic building block.

Once families are no longer intact, individuals become dependent on the State, which serves to increase its power. Once that road is set upon, it's never going to end well because the State assumes the powers of God and abuses those powers.

Church Militant has been pounding, and will continue to pound, the theme of anti-communism because communism is ultimately godless tyranny. It is a system built on the belief that the State is God.

We've produced quite a few programs relating to this and have more planned, but in the meantime, we are happy to reach into our video vault and re-present to many of you who have not seen it this episode of Marian Moments where we review the message of Fatima and the urgency of Our Lady's call.

Church Militant has hundreds and hundreds of episodes of pure, straight-up theology, the most authentic presentation of the Faith you're likely to find in video format.

We highly encourage you to sign up now for a Premium subscription. Just click on that link to sign up and get your on-demand access to thousands of hours of straight-up Catholicism.

It's just $10 a month, and for that, you get the most extensive treatment of Catholicism in video format anywhere.

The conflict between Catholicism and evil.

Here's the big picture: The world today is in a battle between the forces of Catholicism versus communism, which is to say Catholicism versus atheism.

Communism, for all its evil and terror, is, at the end of the day, nothing more than a political system to end belief in God. Every other belief system on earth, every ideological view, is moving toward either one of those two poles.

Catholicism is of God. Atheism is out Satan. Everything else is just battles and wars and skirmishes in the great conflict. Which is not to say they are unimportant — quite the opposite. Wars are finally won by winning enough battles and seizing enough territory to plant your flag firmly atop the capitol.

But while the battles (some larger, some smaller) are being fought, you can never lose sight of the overriding war. That's what it's ultimately all about, which side gets to plant its flag.

War is exhausting. Battles wear you out. That's true of both sides. But the commies face far less opposition than the Catholic side does because Catholics and others of goodwill have simply been naive in their assessment of the reality.

Catholics historically just don't want to get involved, with the exception of the pro-life cause. And even there, it's not like enormous percentages of Catholics were involved. And when it came to voting, gigantic numbers still cast their votes for the child-killing communists.

Likewise, when it comes to charitable giving, Catholics are generally bringing up the rear compared to Protestants. Like Bp. Sheen said, "Catholics have all truth and no zeal." Why that is needs to be explored. But for the moment, let's just leave it where it is for this Vortex episode, and that is that communism has made such rapid and overpowering progress because most Catholics just don't care, or care enough.

Archbishop Viganò responds to MediaPressInfo on the request for dissolution of “CIVITAS”     (remnantnewspaper.com)

#Archbishop Viganò responds to MediaPressInfo on the request for dissolution of “CIVITAS”

Paul DEROGIS: Excellency, during his recent appearance on the French programme ‘Géopolitique Profonde’, when asked about his “Roman” contacts, the president of Civitas, Alain Escada, replied that Bishop Viganò was the only Roman prelate today, apart from those ordained without Roman consent, to fight the New World Order and to support Civitas which also fights against globalism. Do you actually consider yourself an exception among the Roman prelates? And if so, how do you explain this worrying situation?

+Archbishop Carlo M. Viganò: I do not claim to consider myself the only Prelate to have denounced the subversive globalist plan: other Bishops (very few, in fact) have expressed concern about woke ideology, gender theory and green environmentalism. But what I haven’t heard them denounce is Bergoglio’s complicity with the New World Order, which reached new heights of enslavement to Big Pharma during the pandemic farce, and at the World Economic Forum with the climate fraud. I think, however, that in their hearts, some of my colleagues are beginning to open their eyes to a crisis that certainly did not begin in 2013.

The element that, in my opinion, must be understood – for the denunciation to be complete – is the mirror relationship between the coup d’état of the Deep State in the civil sphere and that analogous equivalent of the Deep Church in the ecclesiastical sphere. The modus operandi of subversive actions is identical, as are the principles that animate them and the objectives they set for themselves. It is essential to understand that the Second Vatican Council and the Novus Ordo were to the Church what the Revolution and the Declaration of Human Rights were to civil societies, because at the base of both of them broods the poisonous seed of the Revolution, that is to say the subversion of the natural order that God established for man and for human societies.

Paul D: Do you believe, like the president of Civitas, that globalism is essentially satanic?

Abp. Viganò: The essence of globalism is satanic, and the essence of Satanism is globalist. Because Satan’s plan is to establish the reign of the Antichrist, allowing him to parody Christ’s earthly life, to imitate His miracles with grotesque wonders, to lead crowds not with the simplicity of Truth but with deception and lies. Globalism is, so to speak, the staging, the script and the scenario that must prepare humanity for the political ascent of the Antichrist, to whom the leaders of the world – his servants – will cede national sovereignty so that he becomes a kind of global tyrant.

But the kingdom of the Antichrist is not created out of nothing: it is first necessary to erase what remains of the kingdom of Christ in the institutions, in the culture and in the daily life of the citizens. Moral dissolution is one of the simplest means of subjugating the masses, encouraging them to vice, ridiculing virtue; and, of course, by destroying the natural family, the fundamental cell of society. Once the family is demolished, the children become commodities, products that those with money can order over the Internet, fuelling the vast and growing criminal network, not to mention the surrogacy industry. Divorce, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality and pan- sexualism, mutilation for gender transition have proven to be effective tools for eliminating not only the revealed Faith, but also the most sacred principles of Natural Law.

And it is indeed a religion, the one that is being established with the Woke ideology; a religion which, like the true Religion but with diametrically opposed goals, intends to impose itself in society, to imbue its dogmas into the institutions, the laws, the education, the culture, the arts and human activities. The globalists apply the Catholic principles of “social kingship,” but proclaim Satan king of society: Te nationum præsides honore tollant publico: colant magistri, judices; leges et artes exprimant. May the rulers of the world publicly honour and extol Thee; May teachers and judges reverence Thee; May the laws and the arts bear Thy mark. These are the words of the hymn of Christ the King, but we see them applied blasphemously by the priests of the New World Order to their king, the prince of this world, and to the Antichrist in his time.

Beware though: globalism, as an emanation of Masonic and revolutionary thought, apparently proclaims democracy and condemns absolute regimes; but in fact, it knows very well that the Monarchy of Divine Right is the best possible form of government, because it subjugates everyone – including the king himself, who is the Vicar of Christ in temporal things – to a transcendent law to which everyone owes obedience.

Don't compromise on the spiritual battle.

Patriots, conservatives, the Right — whatever the group and no matter how much they may overlap — have to come to terms with a reality that many have only sort of intuited: The current war with the forces of darkness (e.g., communism) does not have just a political solution. The communists have too much control of the political machinery to simply "trust the process" (the political process).

Church Militant is always pounding the drum that we humans are a composite of body and soul, that we live in two side-by-side realities, the material world and the spiritual world, the natural and, at the same time, the supernatural order. Evil also operates in these spheres, simultaneously. When the spiritual order is overrun, the material order will disintegrate.

Too late to the game in realizing this has the "conservative" side been. Politics cannot save us. Properly ordered and run political systems are what you have when the people are moral, meaning spiritually healthy. Politics is downstream from culture, and when culture goes off, politics follows.

In a republic, political leaders mount to heights of power based on the people's choices, their votes. Those votes are based on their worldviews, their philosophies of life. So what the communists set out to do a century ago was alter people's, the citizens', philosophies of life. That would require ultimately seizing control of institutions that helped people form their worldviews.

Education was the target, both formal and news media. Institutions had to be overrun so that young minds could begin to have their intellects corrupted. The communists played the long game, their strategy even being dubbed by them the "long march through the institutions."

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.

In the ninth century, the Church's first-ever Eucharistic controversy arose between two French monks in the same monastery. It wasn't as controversial as it has later been painted, because it was really a "word war," each of them using the same words but assigning the words different meanings.

They had each written a book on the subject, with the Emperor Charles the Bald being the impetus because he wanted to better understand the Church's teaching. When the men had each died, the controversy died with them. Ah, but their books remained, and when we fast-forward to the 11th century, now the fun begins.

Another French monk/priest, Berengarius of Tours, who was well respected for his intellect as well as his simple piety, essentially held the position that Our Lord is really present in the Eucharist, just not fully. It was the theory that the Protestant reformers, especially John Calvin, would seize on 500 years later to deny transubstantiation.

...

Berengarius' stubbornness is not so much the important part here, but rather, that in seeking to have him admit his error, various councils and ecclesiastical gatherings were forced to clearly lay out, in short form, what the Church had actually believed for the first 1,000 years.

In fact, so clear had these various compositions been regarding what the Church holds and teaches about the Eucharist and the Real Presence (body, blood, soul and divinity), that a thousand years later, Pope Paul VI referred back to them and used them as sources in his own Eucharistic encyclical.

The Church has always believed in the Real Presence, even if it took some controversies and historical clashes to ink it down in precise theological language.

The USCCB can't seem to stop abusing kids.

In the past two or three months, which also happens to coincide with the Washington, D.C., press conference sponsored by the Deposit of Faith Coalition (of which Church Militant is a part), the conservative media spotlight is now shining ever more brightly on the U.S. bishops and their role in the exploitation of minors at the border.

For Catholics who understand, exploiting minors is something the U.S. hierarchy and its staffers have excelled at for decades.

One such example is an excellent article from the Christian Review last week, which blasts the USCCB. Allow us to quote a very small portion from the publication, whose title is "Are the U.S. Bishops Covering Up Child Exploitation Again?" Note the "again" part, which sets the tone right out of the gate.

Choice quotes from the article are as follows:

- "Have any of the children cared for by the Church suffered exploitation in their journey to the border or in placements facilitated by the Catholic Church, I asked. The USCCB refused to respond"
- "The USCCB's lack of transparency is unacceptable. Mounting evidence has exposed gross exploitation of children at the border. The USCCB remains the primary institutional voice opposing border restrictions, while also contracting to provide care to unaccompanied children"
- "In 2020 and 2021, the USCCB had contracts for nearly $25,000,000 each year to care for and place migrant children. What happened to these children and why won't the USCCB discuss it?"

You would think that after the sex abuse scandals of the past 70 years, the billions paid out by the bishops in secret settlement agreements, the bankrupting now of almost three dozen dioceses (and counting) to avoid having to pay any more, not to mention the wrecked lives of the children (mostly boys), the suicides, the drug addictions, the nightmares, that after all that, the scoundrels in miters would have learned a lesson. But no.

There's just too much money in it for them to care about the kids — way too much money. In fact, the total amount of money the U.S. bishops draw down from federal, state, county and municipal governments is in excess of a billion dollars.

A large chunk of that funnels to so-called Catholic Charities, which is neither Catholic nor very charitable.

...

The problem isn't the rules or guidelines or canon law or even the evil; the problem is the men in charge. They don't really see this as a life-destroying evil; they see it as a legal and public relations problem. Sex abuse is bad because of the black eye we get, not because it is a monstrous evil in and of itself.

So now fast-forward to the latest chapter of the bishops involved in exploiting children, only, this time, the children have been placed directly in their "care" by a monstrous child-killing government that is perfectly content to have children suffer, to advance its communist-driven agenda of destroying the republic.

In order to be a leader, you have to have the trait of connecting the dots, of seeing the interconnection between things. Wisdom, after all, is that very thing: seeing how various things — some clear, others not so clear — actually align with each other and are all part of the so-called big picture.

So for the usual Joe Six Pack, there are all sorts of things just "happening."

And yes, while it's true, at least in the natural order, that many things just "happen" (car accidents, losing your keys, burning your dinner), there are also other things that are definitely related. And in this area, the discerning mind will observe a critical difference.

Some related things are obviously related. Television ad revenue, for example, relates directly to how many people watch a given show. But others are not so obvious, at least at first. For example, the "coincidences" in the advancement of communism (yeah around the world sure but, most importantly, right here in the United States).

Since the Russian Revolution, it has been well understood by the commies that the West was the enemy, with its foundational Catholic principles. The conclusion of World War II catapulted the United States into the position of sole world power, and with that position came the enmity of the Soviet Union.

We had the bomb. They did not. End of story. As long as we enjoyed military superiority, their world domination plans had to be put on hold. So they stole the secrets to the bomb, made their own, and thus began the nuclear arms race and the Cold War.

Evil has crept into total control.

It all began very slowly at first, almost completely out of sight, in fact. U.S. communism did not advertise itself as that, but rather as socialism. Truth be told, with the exception of some economic points of view, the two are essentially the same.

"Communism" is just the name given to the movement later. It began as "socialism." And just as it was beginning here in the United States in the late 1800s, so too was Pope Leo XIII condemning it, since it had already gained a strong foothold in Europe.

Socialism, by its very name, presents itself as the answer to society's woes, and communism has had a place in America since the satanic social dogma was conjured up.

Karl Marx and his comrade Friedrich Engels presented their worldview of the "haves" pitted against the "have nots," and cleverly peppered their propaganda into printing presses at the New York Daily Tribune in the early 1850s.

And in Europe where there was not really that much of a middle class, the "rich versus the poor" message played much better there.

In the United States, however, where a middle class was developing rapidly, it was a harder sell. So the socialists associated themselves with the "worker" and pushed for unions, trying to create a wedge between rich and poor.

They called it "labor" and "management." While some strides were made on behalf of workers, the desired class warfare never really materialized, and the socialist political party never really was able to establish itself as a standalone party.

How Marx won control of the US.

I'm Michael Voris, coming to you from onboard Church Militant's autumn Retreat at Sea off the New England coast.

From the country's founding following the War of Independence (and really before), this entire region was the most anti-Catholic in all the colonies. Laws on the books made it essentially illegal to be Catholic or made daily conditions so bad that good numbers of Catholics (the very few there were) went to the southern colonies.

It was only when the waves of Catholic immigrants began arriving here, first as a result of the Irish potato famine beginning in 1845, that the demographics began to shift. Interestingly, however, just as the Irish started coming off the boats on foot, so did Karl Marx arrive, in his written contributions to the New York Daily Tribune.

Both he and Engels, but especially Marx, were anxious to gain communism a foothold in the developing nation, so their editorials were a means to do that.

So involved were they and anxious to see the relatively new country, less than a hundred years old, adopt communism, that they even wrote commentaries on the U.S. Civil War.

New England was the power center of the country, at least intellectually and culturally, as it had been the original geographical nexus.

New York was the locus, with its burgeoning media influence, and Marx recognized that and started pumping his communist propaganda into the infant nation's bloodstream.

Important to note, his doctrines hadn't even really made it onto the Church's radar in any significant fashion at this point. He had about a 40-year head start and was able to lay the groundwork before the Church even really knew about him.

St. Paul and Chris Plance offer the faithful a solution.

Just a reminder that Church Militant has the best, most insightful coverage of Pope Francis' synod underway in Rome this month.

Our Rome correspondent, Jules Gomes, breaks down the happenings each day in our popular program Rome Dispatch, hosted by Brad Eli. Click on the provided link below each day to keep up on everything.

Now, most Catholics have zero idea that St. Paul was a social warrior, clamoring for Catholics to not sit on their keisters and get busy with changing the world. It wasn't about just getting to Heaven individually for Paul; it was about initiating the kingdom of Heaven here on earth — right here, right now.

Catholics, as a whole, are among the most complacent, sit-back-and-let-the-world-happen types that you will ever meet. Maybe a hundred years or so ago, that could pass, but with the communist agenda seizing massive control around the globe, there needs to be a wildly new approach. And Paul lays it out in his letter to the Ephesians.

The problem is so few Catholics even crack open the Bible that they have no idea that Paul is sounding the alarm about getting in the fight in this world. Spiritual warfare happens in the temporal world. What makes it spiritual is the effects are everlasting. But the dirty work happens right here on earth, right now.

For this reason, Church Militant is offering our first-ever masterclass on the Bible — specifically, St. Paul's letters to the Ephesians where the great apostle is crystal clear about all this. It's available to you live, starting on Oct. 22 and running for the following six consecutive Sundays at 4 p.m. ET. Classes will be on Zoom, but will be downloadable for those of you who can't be present during live sessions. One ticket covers your whole household, so homeschooling families, bring your kids for a college-level biblical theology education.

War profiteering in the Holy Land.

Just a brief reminder, Church Militant is on the ground in Rome bringing you every bit of what you need to know about the synod each day. Our Rome correspondent, Jules Gomes, reviews the day's happenings on Church Militant's rome dispatch, hosted here in Detroit by our own Brad Eli every weekday.

Now, war. War in the Middle East.

No matter where you fall, even if you don't have an opinion one way or the other on the decades-long Israeli–Palestinian conflict, there is something larger to consider here. The military-industrial complex, first identified by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as he left office (and later termed "the Swamp" by Trump) — that crowd loves war. They profit from it.

...

While Christians don't especially fare well under Muslim rule or Jewish rule, the Jews just bomb them to intimidate Palestinian authorities, looking on them as mere collateral damage; they don't have terror groups beheading them and parading them around on social media.

The Dems back the largely more extreme Muslim forces of the Middle East precisely because of their hatred for the Christian West. And that is the overlap, the point where they form alliances with them, and, in the case of Israel, they are on the wrong side for the commie Dems.

Are the US bishops inadvertently responsible for this?

Just our quick reminder — Church Militant is on the ground in Rome covering the synod, bringing you every bit of what you need to know each day. Our Rome correspondent, Jules Gomes, reviews the day's happenings on Church Militant's rome dispatch, hosted here in Detroit by our own Brad Eli every weekday. We're providing a link to rome dispatch here in the Vortex every day for the month of October. Don't miss a single episode of rome dispatch, a one-stop shopping for you each day on all the news from the synod, concise and straightforward.

Now, as we've covered repeatedly in multiple Vortex episodes, the communist path to power in Western democracies has been and is being accomplished through elections, which does contain within itself its own irony, since the goal of communism ultimately is to seize complete and total power and destroy fair elections in the process. But there is a backstage game going on, a clever disguise whereby first institutions were overrun, so minds could be controlled through propaganda, so they would vote for policies which made sense to the brainwashed.

Once a sufficient number of voters are compiled over a few decades — again, convinced by the propaganda that the Left loves and cares for them — the scales would tip, the Left would win majorities and then nothing would be left to stand in their way. That's happening right now, as we sit here.

The propaganda machine, in high gear on college campuses and mainstream media networks throughout the nation for decades, has been inculcating in people's minds a slew of false flags so they can create a narrative that death and destruction will shortly follow if their agenda is not implemented immediately.

Of course, the not-so-underlying theme is they must be elected to save the immigrant, save the poor, save the earth, and a host of others causes in which they cast themselves as noble "savior." When it comes to saving the immigrant in particular, things are beginning to reveal themselves which upend their narrative about the southern border. And the challenge to their propaganda is not coming from the Republican establishment but from what you could style "new breed" Republicans, beholden much more to principles than party it seems.

...

One of the first things on the agenda for multiple members of Congress once business resumes is grilling Catholic Charities and the bishops over this whole illegal immigration industry they have going on. And with the wild success of the box office blockbuster Sound of Freedom, you can bet that child sex-trafficking will also be on the docket. And as we all know, when it comes to child sex abuse, that is a topic the bishops do not want to have come up again.

The whole "save the immigrants" narrative of the Democrats is beginning to unravel, and when it does, the bishops are going to once again be found to be de facto on the side of the Left, undermining the republic, not to mention cashing in on the backs of children.

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

Alarmism appears to be in the forecast.

Most of us are used to finding out the weather from either our phones or the local non-gender-specific "weatherperson" on TV or radio. Bet you didn't know, however, that one of the major efforts going on at the Vatican these days under the Pope Francis pontificate is meteorology. Yup. Meteorology.

Is Pope Francis the global worldwide weatherman? That's what it boils down to in his latest offering, a pronouncement essentially that the world is about to end due to not just the environment but man's destruction of it. And, of course, by "man," he seems to be thinking of Americans, with no mention of the Chinese — the biggest polluters in world history!

It feels like Pope Francis has a bone to pick with America in general, specifically with political conservatives and orthodox Catholics (of which there is a somewhat sizable overlap). From the outside looking in, an orthodox Catholic who is also an America First patriot is treated like a problem.

Of course, all this environmental alarmism is yet another Marxist strategy to empower the government and destroy the little guy by undermining the economy by obliterating energy independence.

Remember two-buck gas? It wasn't that long ago. Owing to Marxists, meaning Democratic control in D.C., the "little guy" is now paying almost a hundred dollars more per month in after-tax income for the exact same amount of gas. Likewise, across the entire economy, airlines, buses, trucking — everything that touches gas — prices have exploded and pretty much stayed there. It's the new Biden "normal."

Airlines fly fewer planes, resulting in fewer overall seats, jam-packed flights, a ridiculously impossible turnaround schedule for crews. And even then, the cost per ticket has increased. Prices at grocery stores have jumped because of the fuel cost for trucks getting food from farm to store shelves. And on and on.

Things cost less when the commies didn't have power because, well, bottom line, they didn't have power.

And yet, they are relentless in shoving their policy of decreasing our energy independence, environmental alarmism, Green New Deal, "save the earth" crap down our throats like it's the truth. And over there on the sidelines are perhaps their biggest cheerleaders — the U.S. bishops' conference.

With Protestant artillery.

In 2017, when the Vatican secretary of state endorsed and approved an article being published in a well-read journal attacking Church Militant for somehow aligning with evangelicals to establish a theocracy in America, it was total garbage. However, we must give a tip of the hat to the Marxists in Rome, namely, Fr. Anthony Spadaro, who wrote the laughable hit piece entitled "Evangelical Fundamentalism and Catholic Integralism: A Surprising Ecumenism," in which he labeled the alleged cooperation between Church Militant (yes, called us out by name) and evangelicals "an ecumenism of hate."

Well, at the time, no such cooperation existed — certainly not in any formal way. So we did wonder, what the heck is he talking about? But back to that tip of the hat. That and proceeding events in the culture made us look in the mirror and ask, "Why aren't we working with these folks who are (1) certainly more patriotic than the average Catholic, and (2) more Catholic than the average Catholic, including many clerics and hierarchs?"

Spadaro's stupid assessment actually provided us a blueprint to begin moving down the road and linking arms, where possible, with like-minded U.S. patriots of goodwill.

So, back then, we didn't have our official "ecumenism of hate"; but now we do — an "ecumenism of hate" toward the destruction of America by domestic enemies (namely the Religious Left, including some U.S. bishops and their Saul Alinsky–inspired, perverse "social justice" narrative.

The same man that trained none other than Barack Obama as a "community organizer" even paid for him with Catholic money in Chicago, a point he did not fail to raise during that scandalous speech at Notre Dame's commencement in May 2009. Ever since Saul Alinsky penetrated the Church through his labor union dealings in Chicago, stupid and ignorant (not to mention malevolent) bishops have adopted his false narrative.

In 1940, Alinsky partnered with Catholic bishop Bernard James Sheil, The Chicago Sun Times and department store owner Marshall Field, to found the Industrial Areas Foundation, a national community-organizing network. Notice that partnership: media, corporate America and religion! From then, it was off to the races.

Julian Assange, Oliver Stone and Jordan Peterson speak up.

So just how bad has censorship and "cancel culture" gotten? Well, imagine a scene where a gang from all over the ideological spectrum comes together to say it's got to end. People as divergent as Oliver Stone, Jordan Peterson, Julian Assange, Richard Dawkins, John Cleese and Tim Robbins are all joining arms and calling for it to stop.

Well, no need to imagine, because that's exactly what happened a couple of weeks ago. Those notables and another 130 high-powered leaders joined in signing the Westminster Declaration, a document calling for an end to the censorship madness because of its threat to democracy.

And at whom is the declaration aimed? Joe Biden, specifically, for his largely successful attempts to enlist Facebook and all the rest of them in censoring the legal free-speech opinions of ordinary Americans about hot-button issues of the day. To their credit, even celebrated liberals among them are saying enough is enough — so much so that they put their signatures on the document.

And when you get as wide a variance as Jordan Peterson and Tim Robbins, each in agreement that there's a big problem, then there's a big problem. Shouldn't be too long now before they are being censored, refused movie roles, canceled from college speaking engagements and so forth. As two of the signatories aptly dubbed this the "censorship industrial complex," it has reached unbelievable heights. And, of course, it's all brought to you by the communist Democrats.

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

It's an 'America last,' nation-destroying agenda.

Next week is the big press conference in Baltimore during the bishops' annual meeting there, blowing the lid off the phony science surrounding environmental alarmism and its economy-devastating consequences.

It's hosted by the Deposit of Faith Coalition, and it's built on a strategy of going around the media censorship of the bishops, the religious Left and the major Marxist media outlets and going straight to the burgeoning politically conservative media with expert information.

And for Catholics, the concern is not just the false claims being made, deceitful as they are, but also that the U.S. bishops are in total lockstep with this nation-destroying Marxist agenda lying to you, pushing it from the pulpits in parishes and profiting by collecting money to fight so-called man-made environmental damage.

Because Catholics, even good ones, have been and remain largely ignorant of the political process. And Catholic media, in every tribe, just don't report any of this, at least in any substantive way. The ground war in the world of politics has largely been ceded to men and women of goodwill who are not Catholic, at least for the most part.

Some folks might say, "Hey, Church Militant, why are you allying with Protestants in this fight? Easy answer, because they at least see and understand the importance of not giving up any more ground in the battle for culture and politics. Catholics don't, at least for the most part. Obviously, many Catholics who support Church Militant get it. But outside of a few pockets here or there, like us, Catholics have been AWOL in this war.

...

Of course, there are theological differences, duh. But there are greater theological differences with a majority of the hierarchy than there could ever be with these men of goodwill. At least they believe in objective truth, even if the implications of all that need to be spelled out more clearly.

Everywhere we go, even before Francis, Protestants we encounter ask us why the Church is so liberal. And frankly, who could blame them for drawing that conclusion? What they don't understand — and have no way to understand it unless it's explained to them by faithful Catholics — is that the leaders who are off the rails do not comprise the Church.

Unlike protestant congregations that do rise and fall on their individual pastors, Christ is the supreme pastor of the Catholic Church, and it cannot fall. Like Good Friday, it can go through very dark times, but 2,000 years later, we're still here. And here's the point: We always will be. There are Judases, but the Faith itself remains.
