"Everywhere in nature we see contest, struggle, and the fluctuation of victory. Every grade of the will's objectification fights for the matter, the space, and the time of another."

— Arthur Schopenhauer

“God in heaven is judge. He alone, ’tis true, is judge of the right. But every man is judge for himself, as in all other cases, so in this, whether another hath put himself into a state of war with him, and whether he should appeal to the Supreme Judge, as Jephtha did.

(wherein there is no appeal but to heaven”

John Locke’s *Second Treatise of Civil Government* (Chapter 3, §21, 1689)

That Spiritual hunger, that yearning for the Divine.
That perfect alignment of the soul with the Will of God.

It brings forth a state of perfect confidence, perfect alertness and wakefulness. A perfect trust in the Divine and oneself. No doubt and no clutter or noise in the mind. A willingness to do whatever is necessary at that moment in time to achieve Truth and Goodness.

Choose This Day: Christ or Antichrist (Joshua 24:15) – No Compromise with Synagogue of Satan

Woe to the Jewish tribe, wicked, treacherous, and always living by cunning.[Here’s what they were after,” said he, “when they cried out their flattering praises to-day, that all the nations were to honor me as master. [They wish me] to order their synagogue, long ago torn down by the Christians, to be built at the public cost; but by the Lord’s command I will never do it.”

Imprecatory psalms for all OUR ENEMIES.

Not every battle is fought with fists or knives. Some are settled on your knees, with fire in your spirit and Scripture on your lips. Hand their name to the God who repays.

Vengeance is His.

Reminder that the children of the settlers and pioneers who came from Europe and built America are the true and only Native Americans.

Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁

The stark reality of truth would be intolerable without grace, and the gladness of grace might appear intolerable without truth. Truth is bitter unless seasoned with grace.

-St. Bernard

The pope declared by papal bull Cum sicut accepimus that the Talmud contained;
“innumerable errors, heresies, blasphemies against God, Christ, the Virgin, and the Christian religion, as well as curses and perverse doctrines”

On 9 September 1553, in Campo de’ Fiori in Rome, thousands of volumes of the Talmud and other Hebrew books were burned in a massive public bonfire

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

-Job 28:28

“If someone admires the Jewish rites, he admires them as still valid. But if they are valid, then Christ has not yet come. And if Christ has not yet come, then He has not yet been crucified. And if He has not been crucified, then our sins have not been taken away.”

— St. John Chrysostom

Just as he had said above, that those who were not wearing the garment of a good life must not be received on account of the wickedness of their dogmas, so now he asserts the converse, in order to prevent the faith from being accommodated to those who, though they may be strong with the soundness
of faith, live basely and by their evil works destroy the soundness of their doctrine. For both are necessary to God’s servants, so that the works are proven by words, and one’s words are proven by one’s works.

But [the following words] might seem contrary to this statement: “No one can say: ‘Lord Jesus,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” But it is a usage of the Scriptures to understand what is said for what is done. Thus immediately in what follows, Jesus proves that they are refuted who claim the knowledge of the Lord without works. For they hear from the Savior: “Depart from me, workers of iniquity, I do not know you.” And the apostle says in the same sense: “They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny him.”

St. Jerome: commentary on the gospel of Matthew

For you, I repeat, God has become man. If He had not thus been born in time, you would have been dead for all eternity.

Politics in the highest sense is life, and life is politics. Every man is willy-nilly a member of this battle-drama, as subject or as object- there is no third alternative.

-Oswald Spengler

"They, then, are but abandoned and ungrateful wretches, in deep and fast bondage to that malign spirit, who complain and murmur that men are rescued by the name of Christ from the hellish thraldom of these unclean spirits, and from a participation in their punishment, and are brought out of the night of pestilential ungodliness into the light of most healthful piety. Only such men could murmur that the masses flock to the churches and their chaste acts of worship, where a seemly separation of the sexes is observed; where they learn how they may so spend this earthly life, as to merit a blessed eternity hereafter; where Holy Scripture and instruction in righteousness are proclaimed from a raised platform in presence of all, that both they who do the word may hear to their salvation, and they who do it not may hear to judgment.
And though some enter who scoff at such precepts, all their petulance is either quenched by a sudden change, or is restrained through fear or shame. For no filthy and wicked action is there set forth to be gazed at or to be imitated; but either the precepts of the true God are recommended, His miracles narrated, His gifts praised, or His benefits implored."
(City Of God Bk. 2 Ch. 28)

Pope Benedict XIV on ‘altar girls’:

“Pope Gelasius in his ninth letter (Chap. 26) to the bishops of Lucania condemned the evil practice which had been introduced of women serving the priest at the celebration of Mass. Since this abuse had spread to the Greeks, Innocent IV strictly forbade it in his letter to the bishop of Tusculum: ‘Women should not dare to serve at the altar; they should be altogether refused this ministry.’ We too have forbidden this practice in the same words in Our oft-repeated constitution Etsi Pastoralis, sect. 6, no. 21.” (Allatae Sunt #29, July 26, 1755)

"Since the dawn of history the negro has owned the continent of Africa–rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet. Yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light. His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled. A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour. In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud. With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail! He lived as his fathers lived–stole his food, worked his wife, sold his children, ate his brother, content to drink, sing, dance, and sport as the ape!”

Thomas F. Dixon Jr., 1905
