Monday Prep-It’s Official, The Civil Religion of ‘Muricanism, Directed by Trumpzilla, Is The Worst reality TV Show, EVER

Mandeville, LA – Today’s Pile of Prep: most of the stories and research used to put together the Mike Church Show on the Veritas Radio Network’s CRUSADE Channel. 2016 is here and WELCOME to the All-New, Mike Church Show on the CRUSADE Channel, listen LIVE for Free (don’t cost nuthin’).

Sapientia et Veritas -“An analysis of the religion of Abraham Lincoln in the context of the traditional religion of his time and place and of its polemical use on the slavery issue, which corrupted religious life in the days before and during the Civil War, must lead to the conclusion that Lincoln’s religious convictions were superior in depth and purity to those, not only of the political leaders of his day, but of the religious leaders of the era.

Perhaps the real animus of the religious critics has been not so much against the civil religion in itself but against its pervasive and dominating influence within the sphere of church religion. As S. M. Lipset has recently shown, American religion at least since the early nineteenth century has been predominantly activist, moralistic, and social rather than contemplative, theological, or innerly spiritual. De Tocqueville spoke of American church religion as “a political institution which powerfully contributes to the maintenance of a democratic republic among the Americans”[xiv] by supplying a strong moral consensus amidst continuous political change. Henry Bargy in 1902 spoke of American church religion as “la poésie du civisme.” – America As Civil Religion, Robert N. Bellah

The Trumpzilla Show Episode I – Trumpzilla reverses, well sorta, his previous correct statement that Hillary cannot be trusted with foreign policy because of Libya. Now Trumpzilla recants saying that it was sorta OK to “surgically” take out Ghadaffi but “not what we have now”. That Trump thinks assassinating the leaders of foreign nations is enough to cause any Christian to run for the passport office as part of a Brexit strategy but what is truly frightening is the wholesale inability of the hoi polloi to demand that he denounce assassination! The media coverage of this is tame/lame compared to…

The Trumpzilla Show Episode II – Then the “Media” pivots to Episode II of the Trumpzilla Show with non-stop coverage of Trumpzialla’s criticism of a judge for being of Mexican descent “even though he was born in Indiana”. CNN’s Jake Tapper, the guest star on this episode of Trumpzilla, asked Trump 23 times (yes, you can count them if you like!) if Trump’s comments were “racist”. What next, will Tapper et al ask Trump if women are qualified to lead companies or drive taxis? The ridiculous obsession with obsessing over political candidates every utterance is a perfect reflection on the value placed on the American system of government, because IT is all consuming and powerful, those who vie for the levers of power must be covered in an all-consuming, complete way. Welcome to the Reality TV Show we are now doomed to live in as  character actors who can be killed off on any episode: Trump’s ‘Muricah

When Video Games Teach Kids To ACTUALLY Kill – Witness the sad story of the RAF’s “Tina”, a drone operator with the task of actually assassinating those identified as ISIS, thousands of miles away, with a joystick.

The Worst Generation Is Getting Worse – The evidence is in and the facts say that the “Millennial Generation” is the least productive, including in the existential necessity of procreation, than any generation since the Visigoths. While the stats say that the Millennials are staying at home well into their 30’s now the “stat” you don’t need statistics to know the diabolical root of all this juvenile SLOTH: the assault on the family. Whether its the infatuation with homosexuality, transgenderism,  abortion via failed contraception, shack-up/hookup culture and the list can go on, what used to be suppressed by Grace temptations, is now at will hedonism , what would we expect the result to be!?

Parents Now Accomplices In Pedophilia – If I told you the following story, would you believe it? A 24 year old middle-school teacher was known to be having sex, daily, with a 13 year old boy, with his parents blessing AND was carrying the boy’s child until she had an abortion. Do you think I made that up? Folks, you CAN’T make this stuff up and let me add another perverted ingredient to the story: all the kids in the class in question knew this was going on. The children have obviously been taught to believe that “School House Rock” is supposed to be “The School house Is Rockin'” and that sex is just as normal for teachers and students as homework and detention.

Liberal Atheists Celebrate VC Day (Victory over Christians Day) – With the Culture Wars now over and the diabolical side assured of its victory, its hedonistic field marshals now deliver the terms of our surrender: unconditional expulsion from all public displays of Faith: “For liberals, the question now is how to deal with the losers in the culture wars. That’s mostly a question of tactics. My own judgment is that taking a hard line (“You lost, live with it”) is better than trying to accommodate the losers, who – remember – defended, and are defending, positions that liberals regard as having no normative pull at all. Trying to be nice to the losers didn’t work well after the Civil War…”

Kirk Was Right: The Chirping Sectaries Really Do Have Nothing in Common With Christian “Conservatives” – Timothy P. Carney explores the continuing feud between “Libertarians” and “Conservatives” that Russell Kirk wrote of in his 1958 essay “Chirping Sectaries”. Carney wonders why the two former governors have taken aim at “Christian conservatives”. Kirk: “No one ever has accused libertarians of being afflicted with the centricities of genius: for the dream of an absolute private freedom is one of those visions which issue from between the gates of ivory; and the dreadful speed with which society moves today flings the libertarians outward through centrifugal force, even to the outer darkness, where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth.” The Libertarian “moment” thus, of 2016, is actually a Baphomet moment and even today’s apostate, faux “conservatives” can see that.

Will YOU Go Trans Or Will you Go Carmelite? – The director of the GA ACLU resigns over Obama’s “bathroom edict”. There is NO dialogue there is only edict when it comes to the issue of “transgender” accommodation and that is part of a calculated, diabolical campaign to eliminate the natural law from the secular law. You might say, “Mitter Chur… why would they want to eliminate the natural law!?” Well, in short, because the Natural Law requires a supernatural Creator, God, and if you can eliminate think on the Natural law you can then banish thinking and acting as the Creator requires. Far fetched? hardly, considered under what conditions the early Christian martyrs were killed: refusing the worship of pagan “gods” and conforming their  lives to living as a pagan idolater by recognizing for example, bigamists and adulterers as pious.

Will YOU Go Trans Or Carmelite II? – The GA ACLU Director who is a self-described “progressive” adds the following story to her resignation (h/t Life Site News):  “I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women’s restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults, over six feet [tall] with deep voices, entered… My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer.”

It’s A Dog’s Life But Soon, Man Will Be Obeying Dog – I called this one a few weeks ago: “What if I am a dog trapped in a man’s body and wish to micturate on an oak tree in Central Park? who are you to deny me my right to be what I really am?” This has now actually happened and wait for it, I guarantee there will be copycats… er dogs. Seriously folks…

The lgBtq Fad Will Be A Chapter In a Sad History Book – Rachel Lu, a guest of the Mike Church Show, thinks that the lgBtq fad is just that and that it will ultimately give way to “nature”.

My Prediction: Trump 48, Slick Hilly 2 (states) & The Tory Anarchist Agrees – Daniel McCarthy, editor of the American Conservative magazine posits that Slick Hilly is in BIG trouble if (and I say he will) Trumpzilla improves 5 points over Mitt For Brains Romney’s 2012 tally. It is going to get ugly for Hillary, excerpt: “Trump won’t lose any of Romney’s states. Can Clinton really hold all of Obama’s? Probably not: Ohio still has some white working-class Democrats, and Trump’s prospects of winning them seem a lot better than Mitt Romney’s ever were. Trump surprised everyone with his successes in Pennsylvania’s GOP primary; if he can do five points better than Romney in the general election there, the results will be catastrophic for Clinton. Florida remains as much of a battleground as ever: there’s no indication that any trouble with Latino voters will cost him the Sunshine State. This election is as finely balanced and close as 2012 was, and that brings it down to a referendum on the status quo of the last 20 years: should the era of Bush and Clinton continue, or is it time for something new—even if what’s new is named Donald Trump?”

It’s June And The Immodesty Is About To Go Nuclear Because It WENT Nuclear – Venerable Bishop Sheen called out ‘Muricah back in the 1960’s while speaking to a group of young Catholics on “Youth and Sex”: “8:15 in the morning, the 6th of August, 1945, when we flew a military plane over this city, when we dropped that atomic bomb on it; that bomb on blotted out boundaries. There was no longer a boundary between the military and the civilian, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, between the living and the dead. For even the living who escaped the bomb were already half dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits and from that time on the world has said we want no one limiting me. … You want no restraint, no boundaries, no limitsI have to do what I want to do. Now let’s analyze that for a moment, is that happiness?”

The Tragedy of Post Christian, Philosophia Perennis Devoid Thinking – Read this piece from AmConMag writer Noah Millman to get a closeup view of why Philosophia Perennis is so desperately needed to corral the erroneous thinking Men are sure to engage in when NOT grounded in the eternal quest for True Wisdom i.s. Sapientia. The issue Noah, is not whether “only the Saints” can live by the Magisterial code, it is that by God’s Grace the Saints DID live the Tradition WHILE receiving the Graces needed to do so. You cannot approach Grace as zero sum, mathematics, as in if I do ______ I will receive ______ “Grace credits” but if I do ______I will have deducted ______ Grace Credits. Grace is present in the world and we are given the supply needed at Baptism, the suffering of the Christian Faithful is simply to maintain the state you enter at Baptism, using the Gospels and the Traditional Teaching as MEANS to that END. As Padré Gaetano tells us in Humility of Heart: “And has not a saint abundant reasons, from the thought of his own weakness, to live always in a state of great humility, when he knows that from one hour to another he may lose the grace of God and the kingdom of heaven which he has merited by years of laboriously-acquired virtues? “Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
