If World War 3 is a Moral War, What Morality Should Be Trump's Sword? The Real World War Is the Moral World War, Being Fought For America's Soul
identified the birth of Politics, in 1 Samuel Chapter 8, when Israel clamored for a king, to be like all the nations around them. Thereafter the people of God were subject to the rule of fallen man. For a time there remained strong belief in God and in His rules, both ecclesial and moral, and Kings feared God and obeyed His immutable law.
But this world is ruled by Satan, and inevitably, in his world, power corrupts. And the ruling power of a king was absolute. In the days of Jesus on earth, there were already Political Parties, for example the Pharisees and the Sadducees. From bitter experience we know today that Political Parties constantly change their positions, policies, goals and even morals and beliefs, because the main purpose and goal of any political party is to compete with other parties for pure political power. That's it; that's the real sole reason political parties exist. To rule.
Way back in
Battle Line: Where the advancing secular army meets Judao-Christian moral norms. The Secular Position (or Agenda) involves Proactive, Aggressive Anti-Theism, and not merely "neutral" Atheism.
we identified the birth dates of "denominations" of Christianity, which may and should be thought of as ecclesial political parties. Having broken from Papal authority, they each sought to establish their own authority over ecclesial matters, and as soon as the first one split from the Catholic Church, others inside that faction or "party" split off from it. Just twelve years after Luther's original revolt, these factions were at each other's throats and almost came to blows over differing ecclesiologies. There we noted their birth dates and authors:
Christian Church Roman Catholic Lutheran Reformed Calvinist Church Of England Presbyterian Congregationalist Baptist Dutch Reformed Protestant Episcopalian Quaker Methodist Unitarian Mormon (Later Day Saints) Salvation Army Christian Scientist Nazarene / Pentecostal / Gospel / Holiness / Jehovah’s Witnesses / Pilgrim Holiness / others |
Founder Jesus Christ Martin Luther Huldrych Zwingli John Calvin Henry VIII John Knox Robert Brown John Smyth Michaelis Jones Samuel Seabury George Fox John and Charles Wesley Theophilus Lindley Joseph Smith
Mary Baker Eddy Legion |
Year of our Lord 33 1517 1519 1530 1534 1560 1582 1605 1628 17th Century Mid 17th Century 1744 1774 1829
1879 20th Century |
And back in
The Fracturing of Christianity: lost unity; lost teaching authority. The history of the Fracturing of Christianity amplifies the need for ecumenism and healing among men of good will.
we spoke of how, after Father Luther, Father Zwingli and Father Calvin (all of whom were Catholic Priests) broke first from the Catholic Church and then broke from each other, and how Luther managed to get his Cujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever’s reign, his religion established in civil law, recruiting kings and powerful noblemen to his defense (and their own enrichment). A citizen’s religion became a matter of civil law. “He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.”
This was Prostantism's establishment of a radical combination of Church and State.
That kicked off the horrible Reformation Wars that ran through the 16th, 17th and on into the 18th centuries in Europe and the British Isles. Catholics were slaughtered everywhere, and denominations slaughtered each other.
Then in
Refuting Separation of Church and State as a Constitutional Principle. If Separation of Church and State cannot be found in our Constitution, what makes it a Constitutional Principle? Nothing. It is NOT a Constitutional Principle.
we noted all of America's official colonial religions established by the European and British colonists who came to America specifically to escape from the religious persecution of the Protestant kings, as follows:
Rhode Island |
Baptist |
After the American Revolutionary War was won, and the Constitution and it's Bill Of Rights were ratified by all representatives of all colonies, in our opinion, the first clause of the first sentence in the first amendment in the Bill Of Rights,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
presented the Church the best opportunity to evangelize Protestant denominations and bring them back into the Church, and, presented America and Western Civilization the best opportunity to come back into the best opportunity to stop the continual splitting and interpreting new denominations into existence. Men come to Jesus willingly, on their own, or not at all. For the first time since the Reformation wars, a Western nation would not and could not dictate anyone's religion.
And for all the ways we all differed in our ecclesiology, we all held in common the exact same morality - Christian Moral Law, exemplified in the commandments, as illustrated in
Destructive Commandment, Natural Law and Constitution Violations Getting America Back To Basics: Human Civilization Is Built On The Commandments Of God; Outside The Commandments Is Human Barbarity
Implicit within Honor Thy father and Thy mother is the sacredness of the normative family, and the presumptive right of parents to first authority over their own children, and to special social protections for the family.
Implicit within Thou shalt not kill is the inalienable right of all innocent human beings to continue to live.
Implicit within Thou shalt not commit adultery is the sanctity and inviolability and protected nature of the marriage covenant, and, again, the sanctity and protected nature of the family.
Implicit within Thou shalt not steal is the inalienable right to private property: the right of an individual to actually own something.
Implicit within Thou shalt not bear false witness is the protected and sacred nature of truth, and the moral requirement to protect it and to profess it fully and without distortion.
Implicit within Thou shalt not covet is, again, the sanctity of marriage, and, again, the protected right to own private property.
These are the moral commandments, summarized in Love of Neighbor.
Today's Mass readings are appropriate to the topic.
Lesson
Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans
Rom 13:8-10
Brethren: Owe no man anything except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. For You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no evil to a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the Law.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Gospel
Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaias with a burning coal, and vouchsafe, through Thy gracious mercy, so to purify me, that I may worthily announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Give me Thy blessing, O Lord. The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily and in a becoming manner, proclaim His holy Gospel. Amen.
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 8:23-27
At that time, Jesus got into a boat, and His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves; but He was asleep. So they came and woke Him, saying, Lord, save us! we are perishing! But He said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there came a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of Man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
The first reading points to the second great commandment, which is the moral law.
The second reading metaphorically treats the boat, with our Lord Jesus Christ in it, as the Church. As long as you remain in it, you have nothing to fear.
Just look at all the storms the Church has been through. She has been outlasting oppressive governments since 33 A.D.
But, Satan doesn't give up that easily.
Today, Sunday, with election-day Tuesday right before us, we are faced with supposedly "moral" arguments involving "rights" to do immoral things. "Rights" not to be found in the constitution, and listed as mortal sins in the Bible, are being debated, championed and opposed by political parties and political candidates. And again, it appears that the parties and the candidates are more interested in the competition to rule than in simple right and wrong, natural law and obvious immorality.
The Marxocrats support abortion, sodomy, state authority over other people's children, men in women's rest rooms and in women's sports, "gender health care", free drugs, a menagerie of homo-perverts forced into culture, the military and high office everywhere, open borders, illegal alien voting and citizenship, and oppose freedom of speech against any of that. And the Republicrats just seek bipartisan compromise on all of it. They too approve of sin, but just not so much of it.
The same Political-Party picked and approved American justice system that denies freedom of worship to Christians and orders removal of Ten Commandments and other Christian monuments from the public square, recognizes and protects the freedom of worship for Satanists and approves monuments to Satan in the same public square.
One party turns morality upside down and inside out, and the other party very gently practices what it calls "the politics of the possible".
The moral law is fixed forever and unchangeable.
Fallen man cannot ever be the final arbiter of morality and immorality.
The unconstitutionally existing political parties are America's problem.
Spend all the time you can in prayer before this coming Tuesday.
The American nation will get what the American nation deserves.
The only thing Truth has going for Him in this world is us.
The restoration of Truth = Reality in the hearts and minds of men is now totally dependent upon you and me; if we don't do it, it won't get done.
Pray for a strategic alliance between President Trump and excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano against the common conspiratorial criminality in the American and Catholic political parties.

Political parties are not unconstitutional. Our Government is a failure because it was designed by Freemasons. And Freemasonry was infiltrated by the Illuminati.
So our Government was designed to be manipulated from behind the scenes. That may not be provable. But it is a known reality that our Government is manipulated, from behind the scenes, by the Shadow Government, aka the Globalist Cabal.
To improve our Government, the citizens must first improve themselves. And that is the responsibility of the Church.
The list of dates when each new Protestant denomination was formed, is very helpful. Thanks for posting it!
And your articles are excellent! Even if I disagree on a detail here or there.

Political Parties are indeed unconstitutional, by being extraconstitutional. Article 1 establishes the legislative branch and gives it its operating instructions. Article 2 establishes the Presidency and gives it its operating instructions. Article 3 establishes the Judiciary and gives it its operating instructions.
There is no article establishing political parties. They have no constitutional, legitimate or legal business running our government, selecting candidates for high office, or any office, and dominating both houses of Congress.
While several of the founding fathers were freemasons, freemasonry had less effect on the design of America, as declared and constituted, than what Ben Franklin called "General Christianity". Freemasonry had more of an effect on the French Revolution, which ultimately crowned a freemason emperor (Napoleon Bonaparte). What it did have a major effect on was Marxism, and Marxism is what is progressively doing America in. See Cultural Marxism, the Marxism page and the Political Parties pages.
The Church is not going to save America or freedom or even Catholicism until the Bishops wake up and remove this Pope and his Islamo-Commie-Homo cabal, or he is replaced somehow.

Vic
