A Quick Reminder: 100 Years ago Every Single Protestant Denomination Had the Same Position as the Catholic Church on..

…abortion

…gay marriage

..birth control

…what a woman is

Less than 100 years later…:

An Episcopal priest in New York City declared that Jesus is “transgender” and told the congregation that if they deny this, they are denying the “divinity” of Christ.

Reverend Flourish Klink, who considers herself a transgender nonbinary individual, made the outlandish assertions during a recent sermon at Christ & St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church.

“God is non-binary. God is non-binary, but I’m going to go further than that, and I’m going to say God is actually also trans,” Klink said. “And now let’s get on the same page here. When we trans people are born, folks assign us a gender based on what they see. Then, when we’re old enough, we realize that that wasn’t right, and we’re not in our deepest selves the gender that everybody thought we were.”

On a side note I was reading William Bradford’s History of the Plymouth Colony today and it’s really funny to see that even as early as the 1600’s not only did the various protest denominations not get along but the Puritans in Holland who had fled England were not getting along with the Puritans who remained in England as the Papal envoy in Holland put it at the time: (translated from the Italian).

The Puritans are also tolerated—those even purer and more rigid Calvinists who refuse to acknowledge any authority—including the Puritans from England who frequent Holland and the other United Provinces for the sake of trade. Almost all the English Puritans in Amsterdam are there for the same reason, and some likewise reside in the city of Middelburg in Zeeland for commercial purposes. Thus, from every part—indeed, from every corner—of the United Provinces, one hears their sectarian clamor.

This is human nature, once you decide you know best you don’t just decide you know better than the church, you decide you know better than everyone else.

Five One Line Thoughts on “He had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children” Under the Fedora

This is a perfect example of Chesterton’s fence analogy about what the loss of Christianity as a base to a society creates.

When people tell you who they are believe it

I no longer think that the fellow who quipped that women might look back and say “this is the moment when we lost the right to vote” was joking.

If I wanted to promote Islam and suggest that women deserved to be treated as 2nd class citizens, I’d play this on a loop for people.

It took only three generations of prayer being gone from schools & “Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.” from the Hippocratic Oath to reach this point

Today’s Book Quote: The “Crusade” to Re-Write History

Today’s book quote tackles a fact that people 100 & 500 & 700 years ago knew but has recently been re-written by those who wish the west to fail.

The huge response to [Pope Blessed] Urban’s [II] call at the council of Clermont is even more amazing when considering the cost to go on Crusade—for a knight, four to five times his annual income. Although some modern critics assert that the Crusades were focused on the accumulation of wealth, the historical record shows that the vast majority of those who took the cross suffered financial hardship as result. The certainly did not profit from it. In order to finance such an expensive undertaking many knights and their extended family sold or mortgaged their land and possessions. (emphasis mine)

The Glory of the Crusades Steve Weidenkopf 2014 page 43

I have seen the history of the crusades re-written during my lifetime and it’s always been a bit of a shock how fast the generation who thought they knew better than their parents decided to play games with history to justify their rejection of the heroes who kept violent Islam at bay.

It’s no coincidence that those same times are now allying with said Islam in order to secure political power that their numbers can’t justify.

Repeats Under the Fedora: Fauci diaries, DeSantis v Fauci, 4th Doctor Remains Undefeated on the Powerful & the Stupid, Biden’s Tapes and let’s say it one more time

It never ceases to Amaze me that people write things down that incriminate them. The Fauci diaries reveal him to be everything that people have claimed he was for quite a long time. It’s also worth noting he didn’t know that he had a pardon coming when he did.

This is what happens when folks assume their allies will have power forever, it also illustrates the difference between an “Italian” and a “Sicilian” and also an old saying that nobody does good like a good Catholic and nobody does harm like a bad one.

The diaries also not how much Fauci detested Governor Ron DeSantis who apparently was too smart to fall for a lot of his stuff.

This is one of the reasons why I supported DeSantis in the Primary over Trump as I believed that the COVID stuff and the Fauci stuff would be tied to Trump like a scarlet letter while DeSantis would be able to use the COVID business against Biden or whoever the nominee for the Democrats was.

Trump was of course able to deal with this by simply not discussing Fauci during the campaign, he learned quickly it was a loser & dropped the subject. In fairness to Trump on this subject he was born into a culture that held medical doctors in high esteem, a culture where the Hippocratic Oath had not been edited and one where the idea that a Doctor or any medical professional would give false advice to harm the nation & the people in it for fame, wealth & power was practically unthinkable.

There has been a lot said on Twitter/X about the Fauci situation but the thing that is most true is that those who have worshiped Fauci (and let’s not pretend it isn’t worship they have friggen Fauci votive candles) will completely ignore the diaries because to acknowledge them would violate their worldview & they can’t have that.

This is also why the left/media can be outraged by Donald Trump jokinkly comparing Kathleen Collins to Dylan Mulvaney without being able to say WHY they’re outraged because to say why is to admit that men who pretend to be women are not.

The 4th Doctor’s line about the very powerful and the very stupid changing the facts to fit their views remains undefeated.

Speaking of facts and views the Biden tapes are now out and it’s rather clear that the President had classified documents in his possession, knew that the items were classified and discussed them with his ghostwriter.

Look for the same media that went after Trump and supported the Mar-a-lago raid to completely ignore this or pass over it quickly, in fact I think they already have.

(see 4th doctor reference above)

Finally let me repeat something I said a long time ago on the subject of Transgenderism that I’ve been repeating for years and still bears repeating:

If a person decides they are Napoleon & decides to talk, act, & dress like Napoleon even to the point of surgery or even chemical use to make them more closely resemble Napoleon that’s on them, their problem, their delusion, none of my business.

The moment that person insists that I shout: “Vive L’Empereur!” & then tries to use local state & federal law & or cultural pressure to make me do so, then it transforms into my problem to defend my rights & I will defend those rights & not submit.
