No Gates of Vienna for these guys: The Christians wear the cuck label with pride at First Things

And no tea in Boston Harbor nor American victory at Yorktown, either. Catholicism means the death of America from within as surely as Islam means it from without.

Matthew Schmitz, here in "Christianity is for Cucks":

As it happens, I think those alt-right accusations had some truth to them. Christianity really is for cucks . . .. Christianity is not a matter of blood, or of race, or of victory in this world. It requires us to accept defeat in this life so we might enjoy triumph in the next. A Catholic cannot be certain that his line will continue or his country thrive. He only knows that the gates of hell will not prevail against Christ’s Church.

A Roman Catholic demonstrates his indifference to his Bible and his god, preferring the wiggle room of the Aristotelian lukewarm middle

You might almost call it hatred.

The top commenter here:

As we all know, the opposite of love is not hate but indifference and Boris is, as in so many things, extremely indifferent to the race-thingy and a lot of other cause-célèbre-thingies which seem to motivate the congenitally hateful left or the Compassion Inc. crowd or the old school Slob.

The-world-ends-this-week Laugh of the Day: Sorry, can't take the interview until next week

I thought the intensity of the pain was all I had left of his fire

Mary Katharine Ham, here:

The fire is more remote than it used to be. My distance from it feels disconcerting even as it relieves the pain. I remember someone saying to me, right after he died, that they’d like to fast-forward to a time five years later when it didn’t hurt so much to remember him, and we could talk about him with smiles and laughter. I remember feeling panicky at the thought. I thought the intensity of the pain was all I had left of the fire. It was my tether to a time when he still existed on this Earth. And I knew every moment of every day, I was moving inexorably further from that time, and there was a part of me that hated it.

The residuum of the introspective conscience of the West shows up in narcissism study

Once the religion is stripped away, the self-absorption lives on in another form.  

From the story here:

"Narcissists aren't afraid to tell you they're narcissists," said study co-author Brad Bushman, a communications and psychology professor at The Ohio State University. "They're not embarrassed about it at all."

People with a classic narcissistic personality tend to have an overinflated sense of self, an exhibitionist streak, a sense of entitlement and little empathy for others. People in Western countries rate higher on narcissistic traits than do those in Eastern nations, and millennials— people born between the early 1980s and early 2000s — are more likely to be self-centered than previous generations, at least in the United States, Bushman said.

"The self-esteem movement, I think, is a big part of that," Bushman said. "Also, I think social media provides a venue for people to project themselves to very large audiences."

Pattern development: Nineteen year old black rapper releases video depicting lynching of a white child

"The Florida rapper, born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, can then be seen slipping the noose over the white boy's head." He then pulls a rope and the boy is raised into the air as his legs can be seen twitching as he his lynched.

Changing diapers is such a drag: Employee gives birth at work, tries to flush the boy down the toilet

From the story here:

Police arrived later to find the baby in Lockner’s arms, San Mateo County Dist. Atty. Steve Wagstaffe told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.

The baby had no pulse and was not breathing, so officers performed CPR and rushed the infant to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, he said.

The infant is alive and in stable condition, but the extent of the baby’s brain injuries was not known, Wagstaffe said.

Catholic moral hierarchy on display: Raymond Arroyo evidently thinks some stealing is forgivable

Sixty-four percent of abortions in the US are performed on minorities

36% on blacks

21% on Hispanics

7% on other minorities

Story here.

That means whites are killing their own future at a rate of 36%, equal to blacks, proving once again that equality isn't everything it's cracked up to be.

Today's strange new respect award goes to Steve Bannon

Here:

The bishops have been terrible about this. By the way, you know why? You know why? Because unable to ... come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens, they need illegal aliens to fill the churches. ... [I]t's obvious on the face of it. That's what – the entire Catholic bishops condemn [Trump]. ... They have ... an economic interest. They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration.

"Bacon-chasing" Muslim attorney files lawsuits against restaurants

From the story here:

On Tuesday, Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Jewish woman in Sterling Heights, Angela Montgomery, 30, who says she found bacon in a vegetarian omelet she ordered at a Denny's restaurant in Sterling Heights. ... In a separate lawsuit, filed Aug. 22, a Yemeni-American Muslim couple from Dearborn, Askar Abubaker, and his wife, Hasinah Saeed, who wears an Islamic face veil, ordered chicken sandwiches at a KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) restaurant in Lincoln Park on Dix Road on the afternoon of July 1. ... After taking bites, and finding out there was bacon, he told the cashier: "What is this? Why did you guys put this in my food?" ... The attorney handling the cases, Moughni, said there needs to be changes in how restaurants are handling food. ... Moughni filed a similar lawsuit in May against a Little Caesars Pizza in Dearborn that advertised halal pepperoni pizza, which Moughni said wasn't halal and contained pork. An attorney for Little Caesars has said the lawsuit should be dismissed and is without merit.

Intolerance and fanaticism are the necessary accompaniments of the religious sentiment, but also of the revolutionary

Gustave Le Bon, here:

A person is not religious solely when he worships a divinity, but when he puts all the resources of his mind, the complete submission of his will, and the whole-souled ardour of fanaticism at the service of a cause or an individual who becomes the goal and guide of his thoughts and actions. Intolerance and fanaticism are the necessary accompaniments of the religious sentiment. They are inevitably displayed by those who believe themselves in the possession of the secret of earthly or eternal happiness. These two characteristics are to be found in all men grouped together when they are inspired by a conviction of any kind. The Jacobins of the Reign of Terror were at bottom as religious as the Catholics of the Inquisition, and their cruel ardour proceeded from the same source.
