Wisdom Wednesday Prep –

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 – “A fairly typical comment in casual conversation:

“He was considering becoming a priest, but chose to pursue a career in medicine instead.”

The vocational alternatives to vowed religious life are not careers.

The vocational alternatives to vowed religious life are family life and bachelorhood/spinsterhood.

There is nothing wrong with these latter vocations: they really are the right place for those who are called to them.

And there is of course nothing intrinsically wrong with pursuing a career, just as there is nothing intrinsically wrong with building a house or working a farm.

But by overwriting the conceptual place reserved for vocations with careers, modernity takes one more step forward in its project of murdering the spirit.” – The Zippy Catholic

” – Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Othodoxy

The Talk Radio Mafia, R.I.P. – Talk Radio has devolved into a forum that delivers the fourth and fifth most useless forms of thought: opinion and error and yet that is precisely the formula that shot talk radio from low powered a.m. signals to the pinnacle of entertainment mediums. Now comes Trumpzilla vs Ineligible Ted Cruz, the 8th election since the TRM got its sea-legs and ‘Muricah is no more “conservative”; is no closer to “reducing the size and scope of government”; has not ended the legal protections afforded to baby killing and has failed to energize and install a “moral majority” to replace the noxious pool of secular humanism that is now a fully funded part of the American Civil Religion, that not spiritual heresy that rules our public affairs (see recent defeats for “religious liberty” bills). That talk-radio ever could have delivered the salvation of “conservative” America it was much ballyhooed to, is dubious at best and delusional at worst, yet it is fair to say that was its charge and hope. Read this piece and note the aura of uselessness the medium now has hanging over its head; some of us saw this coming and have withdrawn our consent from the medium’s default direction. I hope you’ll continue to see the difference the Veritas Radio Network presents and assist us in growing and refining it.

DeceptiCONNED & Incorporationista’d– Idaho Governor Butch Otter has signed a bill that basically forfeits the Idaho Constitution and its sole prerogative to regulate weapons including guns in the state to the Feds. Claiming that Idaho is now 2nd Amendment compliant, the ID legislature has  completely surrendered their sovereignty. Otter even bragged that he is a lifelong NRA member and thus a “second amendment” believer. I have previously discussed this subject, 15,000 ways to Sunday, the second Amendment is NOT universal unless your state’s militia has been called “into the service of the United States”. Please download or purchase a copy of my docudrama on this subject from Patrick Henry’s point of view: The Spirit of ’76-The Story Continues.

I am Woman, Hear Me Roar [in childbirth] – Lumma Sims pens an essay that not many Olive Gardenian women are going to warm to: the ‘Murican Dream for women needs to be put back into its proper perspective: “The American Dream is a call to create a society with the space to pursue what in history was known as God’s cultural mandate to male and female alike: “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.” The laws of nature and of nature’s God call humanity to work hard, to strive for the basic goods (e.g., the transcendent/God, knowledge, life/health, friendship, etc.) with excellence, and to pursue what Aristotle called Eudaimonia—flourishing by practicing virtue—the happiness of friendship with God.” Wow, just wow, read the entire essay and may a small spark of hope be ignited in your Remnant souls.

Take This Film And Shove It – Louisiana taxpayers subsidized the secular “Marxist Sodomite Vampires” of Hollywood for a decade and Hollywood South flourished on our backs. When the state had to face fiscal realities and seriously cut-back on the

Travel To New York? Fuhget About It – The cowardice and apostasy of the elected class continues with NY governor Andrew Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill DiBlassio banning “non-essential travel” to North Carolina after it passed an act to reign in towns passing statutes allowing perverts to use opposite sex restrooms. I’ll restate what has been said previously, this is a capitulation to evil served with a side of corporate greed. As Our Lord himself said for the record, for cowards and the lukewarm like Governor Deal: “For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul?” That Apple Computer and the Disney company now have become de facto interpreters of the Magisterial teaching on morality should shock the Evangelical populations of IN, AR and now the worm infested peach-tree state of GA.

GA Gov. Nathan Deal: If The World Is Perverting In The Streets, Make Streets Safe For Perverts – If you resolved to donate a freshly opened box cutter blade to the Egyptian prisoners the Roman’s employed to scourge Our Lord, you’d be inflicting less pain on Our Lord than men like Governor Deal. Christ’s Church’s teaching authority!? Bah, humbug! Here’s Governor Deal from today’s AJC:  In stark terms, the governor said earlier this year that he would reject any measure that “allows discrimination in our state in order to protect people of faith.” Rooting his critique in biblical language, he urged fellow Republicans to take a deep breath and “recognize that the world is changing around us.” And that’s the point, the world always attempts to change and reject the known and revealed Truth because we are Fallen. The duty of government whether it be Kings or Governors is to arrest the change and preserve the conditions needed for the people to pursue passage through the narrow gate. Pope Leo XIII in his magnificent Encyclical Immortalé Dei, stated this in language so clear it cannot but spur obedience from even the most animated papal critic. “It is to the Church that God has assigned the charge of seeing to, and legislating for, all that concerns religion; of teaching all nations; of spreading the Christian faith as widely as possible; in short, of administering freely and without hindrance, in accordance with her own judgment, all matters that fall within its competence.”

Yes We Pray For Souls Recently Departed, NO, The Murdered Muslim Was Not Muslim – Barrels of ink will be spilled in praise of Asad Shah, a “Muslim” who was murdered in Glasgow Scotland for wishing his Scottish patrons a “Happy Easter”. Just as Andrew Bieszad and I discussed on last Wednesday’s show, Shah was not acting Muslim and was thus taken out by an Orthodox Muslim. EXACTLY as Bieszad and then Chris Ferrara and I discussed, the “Muslim” that does not act out his “faith” in an Orthodox manner will be treated as an infidel dog the same way a Christian or agnostic is. THIS is the future Europe now faces and the sooner the pagan Euros find their way back to Christ’s Church and living the Faith the better off they will be to defend their civilization. Failure to do so will result in The Continent becoming an Ottoman Empire of sorts, 20 times It’s former size.

Mrs Cruz & Trump, Meet Sally Hemmings – The fatuous claim that Wifegate has broken new low ground in ‘Murican politics and that the attacks on candidates wives or mistresses are new to the 2016 campaign and the logical result of “Trumpism” is historically retarded. In 1802, Thomas Jefferson was savaged by vindictive newspaper man James Callendar and accused of fathering the children of Monticello slave, Sally Hemmings.

Meet Ted Cruz, Ambitious Conquerer of The Conservative “Movement” – Ross Douthat writes in the New York Times what I have been telling you about Ineligible, Edward Rafael Cruz: he is an ambitious demagogue who wants to win elections because he wants to win elections and be declared the winner. This is a far cry from the savior he is being made out to be by Glen Beck et al…

Christ’s Kingship Is All The More Majestic When you Ponder Him AS God – Ann Barnhardt nails the tragic and yet beautiful mystery of the Passion of Our Lord. That Jesus, 1/3 of the Trinity that created every atom of Man, meandered about the people of Jerusalem and Galilee knowing they would scream for his death. This is a must, post-Easter read.

What Is The Significance of March 25th? – Joseph Pearce informs us that March 25 is the date of the Annunciation to Our Lady AND the date, traditionally remembered as Good Friday! This Rorate Cæli research piece makes the historical record clear.

ISIS Delivers On Promise To Crucify Fr. Tom – The all too real events unfolding in the other hemisphere show the normal, brutality of ISLAM and the Orthodox maniacs who “practice” the “faith, carrying out the execution of Catholic priest Father Tom.

Cause Every Girl’s Crazy Bout A Sharp-Dressed Man – The American public’s pathetic state of public-dress actually DOES have an effect on the way people treat one another and the respect they have for authority. In other words, if you want a return to an ordered, moral society, start dressing like it.

Face It: Most; ‘Muricans Know We are Spoiled Rotten Brats Who Need A Diet – The Walking Dead TV show is so wildly popular precisely because the cast must live with each other without Twitter, Facebook and other vanity media: “It wouldn’t be fair to say these people are hoping for such a calamity, but some part of them yearns for things to be hard yet simple again. There is a certain excitement in people’s voices when they talk about a possible EMP attack, or when Ebola first appeared in the United States. It’s not sick morbidity or ungratefulness for this prosperous Western life. Nor is it golden-age syndrome. It’s just a desire to put one’s finger on the pulse of life. To know and acknowledge our mortality in a society that constantly tries to shield us from it.”

I Believe In ME! Still Think You Won’t See White Martyrs In Your Day? I’ll Take That Bet… – New research confirms what you and I already knew: the Millennial generation is a complete, spiritual bust, devoid of any attachment to the Divine and blind to its beauty and Grace all around them. Now, FIVE TIMES the amount of the prayer-less roam our culturally diabolic streets but don’t worry – vote for Donald Trump, buy an iPhone SE and all will be well…sure it will. h/t to Rod Dreher for this one:

“A research team that included Ryne Sherman from Florida Atlantic University and Julie J. Exline and Joshua B. Grubbs from Case Western Reserve University analyzed data from 58,893 respondents to the General Social Survey, a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults administered between 1972 and 2014. Five times as many Americans in 2014 reported that they never prayed as did Americans in the early 1980s, and nearly twice as many said they did not believe in God. Americans in recent years were less likely to engage in a wide variety of religious practices, including attending religious services, describing oneself as a religious person, and believing that the Bible is divinely inspired, with the biggest declines seen among 18- to 29-year-old respondents. The results were published today in the journal Sage Open.”

USA! USA! BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, Leaves Entire Cities Reduced To Rubble, This Is “Freedom”? – John Basil Utley performs the signal task of asking what part of the “Freedom Agenda” is Just that leaves entire cities reduced to rubble and thousands of non-combatants reduced to organic scraps? “It’s one thing for foreigners destroy each other’s cities, but for us to do it? It’s very different when America takes one side and helps the other to “bomb them back into the stone age,” an expression sometimes heard from our generals. Our cities have never been so destroyed, so we have little comprehension about what we do to the cities of other nations. Bombers today, with their extraordinary accuracy, quickly run out of military targets. Then they often go after civilian infrastructure.”

Even Terrorists Deserve Lawyers!? – Yep, you read that right. The devotion to our Civil Religion and it’s Dogma known as the Rule of Law deigns that even the most wicked and diabolical “deserve lawyers”. In more sane and Holy times, the wicked would have been treated as the murderous heretics they are, kept from infiltrating the Christian spaces and if they succeeded either killed in a Just battle or captured, tried for heresy then executed by the civil authority-it being a servant of the Natural & Eternal Law…but I digress because “The Rule of Law has what Terrorists crave.”

Are You Scared of Islam? Ann Barnhardt Isn’t – Read and consider: “Furthermore I consider that islam must be destroyed.” Who is Ann Barnhardt? Well, funny you should ask, I asked too and found: “On April 3, ARSH 2011, after seeing Sen. Lindsey Graham advocate for Sharia Law and the punishing of American citizens who “disrespected” the islamic political system and its manifesto, the koran, I rebutted Graham’s remarks and then burned a koran – bookmarked with raw bacon – and concluded by announcing my address and inviting all musloid and/or FEDGOV comers to come and get a piece of me.”

The Godless Socialists Invited Islam To Brussels, Not Donald Trump – Ineligible demagogue, Ted Cruz continues his ridiculous insistence that Donald Trump is somehow responsible for the orthodox Muslims doing what Orthodox Muslims do at the Brussels airport and subway station. Roraté Cæli throws the cloak off of the parties and the evil responsible for the Brussell’s carnage: “They have got what they wanted — “they” being the Socialist politicians in Belgium who, for decades, in many cases making clear they were trying to influence demography for political reasons, allowed Islam to grow, become native, and grow once more, and radicalize, while at the same time alienating the Catholic culture that was the only thing which had made Belgium (that is, the unity of Dutch-speaking and French-speaking Catholics of the Low Countries) possible. The Passion of Europe now goes on before our eyes, day after day. Let us pray for the dead today in the Brussels airport and in the Brussels subway system. But let us remember that war has come, and that it has not yet been won by Islam, as strong as it may seem today.” QUESTION: Who is Cruz going to blame for the next act of Muslim Orthodoxy perpetrated in Europe, Trump again or will it be Kasich or perhaps Ron Paul’s fault, Paul, like Trump, after all is an “isolationist”, right?

Hungary Will Not Go Where Heretical Germany Goes With Islam – The Hungarian President Viktor Orban delivers an address to the Hungarian people declaring that Hungary will not be following the heretic Merkel in embracing the murderous heresy of Islam and its “refugees” into their midst. It doesn’t get any more clear than this folks: “If we want to halt this mass migration, first we must curb Brussels. The main danger to Europe’s future does not come from those who want to come here, but from Brussels’ fanatical internationalism. We should not allow Brussels to place itself above the law. We shall not allow it to force upon us the bitter fruit of its cosmopolitan immigration policy. We shall not import to Hungary crime, terrorism, homophobia and synagogue-burning anti-Semitism. There shall be no urban districts beyond the reach of the law, there shall be no mass disorder, No immigrant riots here, and there shall be no gangs hunting down our women and daughters. We shall not allow others to tell us whom we can let into our home and country, whom we will live alongside, and with whom we will share our country. We know how these things go.”
