Wisdom Wednesday Prep – Constitution R.I.P., Cruzombies Wanted For The Murder

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 – “I am no friend of picketing, and I thoroughly dislike this kind of demonstration. But when so grave a question as the souls of our children is at stake, then demonstrations are legitimate and even necessary. We must ceaselessly inundate the bishops with protests, so that if – which, may God forbid! – we do not succeed in opening their eyes to the abomination of sex education, they will at least yield to the pressure exerted by truly Catholic parents. I mean those parents who are the glory and strength of the Church, who believes firmly the Credo of Pope Paul VI, who believe in the infallibility of the Church in matters of faith and morals, and who, unlike the small but noisy group of avant-gardists, accept obediently and lovingly the teaching of Humanae Vitae. It is these quiet millions whose parental rights are being usurped. It is their children whose souls are endangered.” – Deitrich von Hildebrand, The Basic Issues

U.S. Constitution Gaveled Dead By NJ Judge, Ted Cruz Flees Scene of The Crime – The Constitution Was Pronounced Dead At The Scene of a NJ Courtroom at 07:16 P.M. EST as NJ State Judge Jeff S. Mason pronounced that in order to determine what the Constitution’s Article II, Section 2 “natural born citizen” clause means as a qualification (and a legal term) for President one must consult the Congresses of 1790, 1868, the 14th Amendment and someone named Won Kim Ark for the answer. The actual document’s plain language and the meaning of the term in use PRIOR to ratification do not matter nor does the understanding of the men who “ratified the instrument” as Jefferson insists

Born In Canada Is Plain & Simply Born IN Canada Which Means OF Canada, NOT ‘Muricah – Mario Apuzzo esq., argues persuasively and through the evidence available that the 1790 Congress, the 1868 Congress and the Miracle Amendment cannot MAKE Ted Cruz a natural born citizen. PERIOD. Apuzzo then demonstrates the process under which the clause “natural born citizen” was inserted into the Constitution which reveals that it was inserted specifically to DISqualify those dubious souls who might claim citizenship but were clearly born to foreigners: “Regardless of what Cruz knew or did not know about his Canadian citizenship, Cruz was born in Canada presumably to a U.S. citizen mother, but to a non-U.S. citizen father. Hence, he was not born in the country to parents who were its citizens, which means that he is not nor can he be a citizen through his birth circumstances alone. Rather, he is what Minor called an “alien of foreigner” in need of naturalization.[9] Therefore, he is not nor can he be a natural born citizen.”

I Don’t Know What XHamster Is But I Won’t Be An EX-User Either – The porn merchants at this outfit called XHamster have dealt a crushing blow to the perverts of NC: XHamster.com has blacklisted ip addresses from the Tarheel state as revenge for the now famous Boys use boys rooms “bill” that has drawn the outrage of the pervert promoters Brcue Springsteen and Brian Adams. That’ll show those prudish bigots who think their daughters should be able to pee in private and if not in private, free from the leering eyes of sex predators masquerading as “trans——-“. XHamster said of the ip ban: ““Judging by the stats of what you North Carolinians watch, we feel this punishment is a severe one. We will not standby and pump revenue into a system that promotes this type of garbage. We respect all sexualities and embrace them.” What’s next? Will Lena Dunham wear ankle length dresses on the next episode of HBO’s “Girls” and  cross her legs with modesty when give the chance to flah “lady parts” to the school principal? Will Lady GaGa refuse to wear her meat-skirt and breast cones in favor of a Hajib when performing near NC? Will HBO refuse to beam its next X rated TV series into tar-0heel homes and replace it with reruns of Family Ties!? That will really get those bigots up in arms.

DeceptiCONNED – The Colorado GOP had the #NevrTrump fix in from the get-go and now claims they have no security measures for their own Twitter account, what a sham. That the ineligible CRUZ continues his slimy, faux-“conservative” (whatever that term may mean) demagoguery, fully aware that he is not eligible for the Presidency as the U.S. Constitution demands is insulting enough to the intellect. That CruZombies continue to support this, nay demand more of it, shows just how far the “conservative” movement has fallen into the gutter of relativism. So sacred now is the election of “conservatives” that the formality of process, and, processes must be formal, and True legitimacy can be jettisoned.  Chesterton reminds us of the danger of relativism: “The fact that [the new rebel] doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it.”

The Scandal of Francis’s Irreverence Brought To Life By MBD -Last Friday I lamented Amoris Lætitia as the logical result of the Vatican II revolution or more properly put, devolution of Catholic Orthodoxy. Today, Michael Brendan Dougherty reaches the same conclusion in beautiful written prose. “[T]heir forebears said the same thing about the Vatican II’s document on the liturgy. ‘Oh, it says Latin shall be retained, it promotes Gregorian chant,’ they comforted themselves. As now, the betrayal of the institution was too unthinkable, and they willfully overlooked the footnotes that contained within them a mandate to destroy high altars, tabernacles, altar rails, and institute folk music in a synthetic vernacular liturgy. The Church’s blasé attitude here has a pedagogical effect, teaching people that there is no need to have a holy respect or fear when approaching the altar. Naturally, this attitude has worked its way up the chain to a papal pronouncement.”

DeceptiCONNED II, Feature Presentation: The Ineligibles 2 – Devvy Kidd digs into the latest Ted Cruz is not eligible scandal and informs us of the write-in candidacy of Victor Williams in NJ, which grants him “standing” to pursue the ineligibility of Edward Rafael Cruz who is basically a man without a country as Ted has yet to produce proof of his citizenship and instead relies on unnamed court cases and the Miracle Amendment to make his “living constitution” argument that has the effect of Roe without the grisly aftermath.

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.”

DeceptiCONNED III – Colorado Republicans Smoke Their Legal Dope & Choose Ineligible Cruz – The remarkable lack of integrity that oozes from the GOP has reached new, despicable highs with the Colorado GOP awarding Ineligible Ted Cruz ALL its delegates despite the fact that the state had no caucus or primary. The “conservative” infatuation with Cruz, a natural born citizen of either Canada or Cuba, illuminates the rudderless state of “conservatism”, thus the term “remnant” rises.

The Tragedy That Is Coming Via The Church – The faithful need to buck up, pray up and get engaged in the PRACTICE of The Faith in the wake of the moral bombshell of Pope Francis’s Amoris Latatia, Apostolic Exhortation. Brothers and sisters, the stakes don’t get any higher or more crucially important than this. Francis has opened wide the gates of confusion in the most morally confused epoch in world history. If you don’t see the danger the Holy See has welcomed, Antonio Socci explains it: “Bergoglio avoids talking about “the moral law”, which the Church has condensed for centuries in dogmas and canonical dispositions, or he depicts it contemptuously as something “abstract” which cannot be applied to “concrete” situations. In doing so, he arrives at contesting Jesus Himself in His clash with the Pharisees on the question of divorce (Mat. 19, 3-12). In fact Bergoglio asserts that: “a far too abstract and almost artificial theological ideal of marriage, far removed from the concrete situations and practical possibilities of real families” must not be proposed. This would be “excessive idealization”. Even worse: “there is no need to lay upon two limited persons the tremendous burden of having to reproduce perfectly the union existing between Christ and His Church”. In compensation, Bergoglio introduces new grave sins. Those of the so-called “rigorists”, guilty of remembering God’s law, but most of all, those [of individuals] who don’t share his political ideas on social questions.”

The Death of A Culture Has Begun, Read All About It! – Phillip Reif accurately portrayed the cultural meltdown back in 2008, noting that when the Institutions that have MADE the culture begin to become irrelevant as a result of their denial of their own doctrines, the civilizational game is over.“The death of a culture begins when its normative institutions fail to communicate ideals in ways that remain inwardly compelling, first of all to the cultural elites themselves. Many spokesmen for our established normative institutions are aware of their failure and yet remain powerless to generate in themselves the necessary unwitting part of their culture that merits the name of faith. “Is not the very fact that so wretchedly little binding address is heard in the church,” asked Karl Barth, rhetorically, in 1939, “accountable for a goodly share of her misery—is it not perhaps the misery?” The misery of this culture is acutely stated by the special misery of its normative institutions. Our more general misery is that, having broken with those institutionalized credibilities from which its moral energy derived, new credibilities are not yet operationally effective and, perhaps, cannot become so in a culture constantly probing its own unwitting part.”

The Pope Makes Moral Teaching A Sponge Instead of A Rock – Digging into Amoris Lætatæ we find what faithful Catholics have feared: Pope Francis has swung wide open the door to normalizing homosexuality and divorce. One Peter Five is first to the rampart to explain what this means to tens of millions of Souls: “What this means concretely is that the pope is sending a deeply troubling message: those who are living in the objective state of adultery (since they are still sacramentally and validly married to their real spouse, not the person they are living with) and have children from this second “marriage” are essentially bound to stay in this relationship, living as husband and wife (which they are not) and continuing to engage in acts proper only to spouses, and thus, adulterous in nature. Otherwise, the pope reasons, their new relationship – and the welfare of the children involved – could be put at risk! In this, Pope Francis undermines Catholic moral teaching at its core, and puts supposed practical concerns over the higher concern of the salvation of souls.”

It Takes a Village – Is it really far-fetched to think that Rod Dreher’s “Benedict Option” might be implemented sans the Hadrian’s Wall replica, in a village somewhere? Well, we’d have to move to England (I’m cool with that are you?) but this village is available for sale, when do we move in!? Seriously, the idea of people sharing a similar view of what kind of culture they wish their children to be marinated in; what structure of governmental authority they wish to live under; what system of law enforcement would be best to effect their happiness and enforce the government’s prime directive: to remove impediments from saving one’s souls. This idea just happens to be quite American in character and we have this on the good authority of Thomas Jefferson himself. “Were I to assign to this term a precise and definite idea, I would say, purely and simply, it means a government by its citizens in mass, acting directly and personally, according to rules established by the majority; and that every other government is more or less republican, in proportion as it has in its composition more or less of this ingredient of the direct action of the citizens. Such a government is evidently restrained to very narrow limits of space and population. I doubt if it would be practicable beyond the extent of a New England township.”

In Village Veritas, No One Will Mistake Dominican’s For KKKlan Members – To demonstrate just how far away from the path that Christendom’s Tradition beat for us witness our kids, happy and hooking up at the University of Indiana, mistaking a Dominican Priest, walking the campus while praying the Holy Rosary, for a member of the KKKlan with a whip in hand, seeking minorities to beat into Jim Crowe submission. “So what happened tonight goes like this: a person saw white robes and what looked to them like a weapon, got scared (rightfully so), warned people, warned staff, which in turn caused me to warn my residents because I need to look out for my residents, which in turn made it spread. Then my residents, terrified, come running to me, saying yeah the report must be true, they saw him and couldn‘t believe there was a klansmember with a whip. And I see this picture. It’s a priest. With a rosary.” Use this story as Exhibit A-ZZZ as to why the continent’s moral slide cannot be arrested by laws, elections, ballots or “Making America Great Again” but only by returning to these same poor, misguided yewts, to a Scholastic regimen to BEGIN their education and supporting them with a restoration of The Church Militant as the fount and guard of the moral law.
