World religions converging in Chicago.

Many of the world's religions will be gathering in the coming days to meet and discuss, more or less, the evils of the world and what can be done. Of course, which religion you belong to could certainly influence your view of what is evil and what is not.

But laying that aside for the moment, there is certainly nothing wrong with religions cooperating with each other to address hunger and disease and so forth — as long as nothing objectively immoral is employed in that work.

However, while compromise for a greater end is OK for natural issues, when it comes to the supernatural, there can be no compromise by Catholics.

For example, Catholic and Protestant Americans can certainly work together to fight abortion, but they cannot work together to make a watered-down version of Christianity more palatable. There is no such thing as "Christianity by committee."

In fact, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as Christianity outside of Catholicism. There is only One True Faith, and that Faith is the Catholic Faith.

There is only one Church. There is no such thing as a Protestant "church." The Son of God established a Church — not thousands. Men established all those breakaways. But God, Who is One, established one.

Predators deserve the millstone treatment.

The currently sitting archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, is a monster who should be publicly removed with great fanfare and paraded through the streets of New Orleans.

This is said in the spirit of the words of the Son of God, who acclaimed, "It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones" (www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+17%3a1%e2%80%932&version=dra).

So egregious is it to harm a child that this is the only instance in the Gospels where Our Blessed Lord actually attaches a specific penalty to a specific sin. And yet, new developments reveal that Aymond has done just that, being "him through whom the scandals come."

He certainly isn't alone in the crowded field of lying, cheating, children-of-Satan bishops who have made their careers over the devastated psyches and even corpses of sexually abused, molested and raped children.

But then again, Aymond has had the misfortune — from his point of view — of having his sins revealed in various documents from the New Orleans archdiocese bankruptcy filings.

In that mountain of paper a series of letters and texts have been unearthed by reporters at The Guardian newspaper, which were compiled in a nearly 50-page memorandum from attorneys representing abuse victims.

It outlines the cases of a half-dozen priests whom Aymond's own sex abuse board found credibly accused and made recommendations to remove or sideline from ministry and have their names added to the diocesan list of credibly accused molesters.

Yet Aymond simply disregarded his own board's recommendations and never said a word about these clerics.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

If you needed any proof that the money-racket machine the U.S. bishops are running is decidedly Marxist and they have no intentions of reforming, just look at what happened recently at Catholic Charities.

For the record, Catholic Charities is the bishop-run group that collects enormous sums of taxpayer money to destabilize the southern border of the United States by spiriting in illegal aliens by the millions, and then shipping them all over the country with your tax dollars.

In fact, the anti-American leftist organization is so corrupt in its anti-American activities that it's become the target of a congressional investigation by Republicans in the U.S. House — that's bad.

In a letter to Catholic Charities, the congressmen said,

We write to express our deep concerns with the growing role non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play in fueling the drastic increase in illegal aliens crossing the southern border. While Americans suffer the consequences of the unprecedented chaos at the border, NGOs continue to profit off of exploiting our immigration laws. ...

Next Congress, we will continue to investigate your organization's role in facilitating the border crisis, your potential violations of federal law, and your misuse of taxpayer funds. We are notifying you that Catholic Charities is required to preserve all information related to any expenditures submitted for reimbursement from the federal government related to migrants encountered at the southern border.

This was not the first letter they had sent to Catholic Charities.

Americans must change it for the better.

As we continue to highlight the bishops' malfeasance toward those in their charge, even in the realm — perhaps especially in the realm — of politics, we should ask, why does it really matter?

Here's why: People live their day-to-day lives in a culture, a society, like fish live in water. It's impossible to swim through the water and not be impacted by it. If it's dirty or the temperature changes, the fish are impacted.

By analogy, we can say the same thing about humans swimming through the culture. And for the moment, we are confining the analogy to simply the natural world, not the supernatural role of grace and so on.

No human society is even close to perfect, but some are better than others in creating an environment where man's better angles can be encouraged — a love of arts, philosophy, friendships and so forth. The stuff of a culture, the cult.

There is an entire psychological reality that springs forth from a healthy culture. When the culture gets sick (think of the water getting polluted), that psychology starts to be invaded, weakened, and becomes susceptible to being taken over.

I don't want to make this a Democrat versus Republican thing, because it's really not. But at the end of the day, one of those two parties promulgates a psychologically sick society. The other doesn't push back, or at least not enough.

A long road back.

For the first time, perhaps ever, the U.S. bishops are finding themselves in a dogfight on Capitol Hill when it comes to them getting and using your tax dollars to destabilize the border.

The press conference in Washington, D.C., last week (which Church Militant covered at length) spoke about the need to end the unfettered, unaccountable access the bishops have to these funds and their use of them. That was, in fact, the entire point of the press conference.

It turns out that segues right into an effort by a conservative congressman to also cut off the flow of some of those dollars, and the bishops are none too happy about that.

The leader of the move is Texas congressman Lance Gooden, who serves on the House Judiciary Committee. He has written a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas saying Biden is "allowing non-governmental organizations ... the freedom to aid and abet illegal aliens." The letter was also signed by Congressman Jake Ellzey of Texas and Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin.

...

Movement has begun in the nation's capital, that's the bottom line here, and the main culprit from an NGO viewpoint has been identified — and as Church Militant has been reporting for years, it's the U.S. bishops and their Marxist-minded outfit, Catholic Charities.

Now all of this detail only makes sense if it's couched in the larger picture of the penetration of the Church by Freemasonry and their shock troops, worldwide communism. The Church leaders are quick to portray their work at the border as "living out the gospel" or some other spiritual-sounding crap. Well, of course they have to paint it like that. They aren't going to go put up billboards that say "Give us your tax money so we can weaken the republic."

Michael gets interviewed by One America News.

As you learned at the Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference last week, the U.S. bishops are deeply in bed with the U.S. government and promote Democrat causes like gun control, illegal immigration, climate change and censorship of free speech.

Any long-time listeners of Church Militant will know this has been going on for decades. Sadly, everyday Americans largely remained in the dark on this until now.

The press conference, which only happened thanks to your generous support, did something never seen before in the age of social media: It alerted the secular conservative media and the American public (who aren't beholden to the bishops like most Catholic media is) that the USCCB is and has been marching in lockstep with the religious Left.

Tons of stories about our presser can be found all over the internet, on the radio and even on TV. Here are some highlights from just one of these interviews, wherein I had the privilege of speaking to John Hines of One America News.
