Speaking Out

At the American Thinker today, Greg Maresca continues to warn that the Biden Administration, and by extension the Democrat party either by cheering it on, or by its silence, is in the throes of persecuting the Christian church. You can find it at Religious persecution in a first world country. Of course, it is happening not just here, but also in Finland where two Lutherans are being prosecuted for straying from the LBGTQabcdefg++ othodoxy and quoting the Bible.  The horror!

In February, an FBI whistleblower from their Richmond, Virginia field office leaked a report about spying on "radical-traditionalist Catholics," labeling them as "potential domestic terrorists."

FBI director Christopher Wray claimed the report was "a single product by a single field office."

Hearings conducted by chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan revealed evidence that Wray had perjured himself, as FBI field offices in Los Angeles and Portland and perhaps others were also monitoring Catholics.

Perhaps this is why the FBI is too busy to investigate the Richmond riots orchestrated by Antifa in 2020 or those BLM-led riots and their $90 million in donations that vaporized into luxury real estate for their leaders.

Just as law abiding gun owners are not the problem when it comes to any sort of crime, let alone gun crime, so traditional Catholics are not the problem either. Yes, many do use battle rosaries. Indeed, I own one myself, and have prayed the rosary. But a battle rosary is a weapon to battle the Evil One, not to do battle against people. One prays the rosary for God's intervention against abortion, or persecution, or for the health of a loved one, for example. Indeed, the faithful believe that God hears our prayers and responds in His time. So, unless, the FBI and other government agencies are being led by the Evil One, there is no terroristic threat. But if they indeed are being led by the Evil One, then they should fear rosaries.

Moreover, the FBI has been delinquent in investigating pro-life clinic fires and church arsons, while their brethren in the DOJ keep the heat on the Little Sisters of the Poor. "Catholics" the FBI should be investigating are Hunter and Joe Biden.

The FBI has morphed into yesteryear's Soviet KGB.

When was the last time a Catholic posed a threat or orchestrated a terrorist attack? Watch out for their assault rosaries, poisoned holy water, and putrefying incense, and especially those who attend the traditional Latin Mass.

Rep. Jordan's Judiciary Committee will not resolve this grave injustice that is nothing but a rogue collection of redactions, obfuscations, and delays. James Comey, Merrick Garland, and Wray will never be held responsible any more than the Clintons, Obama, or that self-professed "devout Catholic" Biden will.

So much for tolerance, equity, and inclusion.

That collective bureaucratic yawn coming from Washington will only embolden the weaponization of the federal government — the nation's true domestic threat.

Democrats believe they are above reproach as they smear their doors with the blood of aborted babies, serving as their political Passover. However, when human nature and history weigh in, as they most certainly will, fate will have its say.

I wonder if those persecuting Christians even understand the references made in the last paragraph. More appropriate might be that abortion is the equivalent of feeding children to into the firey belly of Molech. We know Jesus weeps every time a child is aborted. I ask each time someone speaks in favor of aborting our chidren: Do these people hear what they are saying? It is the same when people mutilate children so they can pretend to be another sex other than the one they were born to be. Do these people hear themselves?

Mr. Maresca quotes Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller's famous poem about people standing by while first the communists, then the trade unionists, then the Jews were persecuted. But of course, Hitler persecuted Christians as well. I will not stand by without at least saying something. I may disagree with certain Catholic doctrines, but we all believe that Jesus Christ is Lord of All. We all believe in the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I will not stand by, and neither should you.
