Martin Luther as Hercules Germanicus by Hans Holbein, 1523. “In the picture, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, Duns Scotus and Nicholas of Lyra already lay bludgeoned to death at his feet and the German inquisitor, Jacob van Hoogstraaten was about to receive his fatal stroke. Suspended from a ring in Luther’s nose was the figure of Pope Leo X,” The Reformation Room.
There is no other Head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God.
Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 25.6
“I have no idea who Antichrist is.” I don’t remember anything else about the sermon. I don’t even recall the name of the man who preached it. But I do remember it was on a Sunday morning in December 2006 that I heard those words, “I have no idea who Antichrist is,” come from the pulpit of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church.
I case you’re wondering, no, it wasn’t D. James Kennedy who made that comment. It was a guest preacher, whose name escapes me.
It’s just as well I don’t recall the man’s name who uttered those words. For it seems to me that what he said that Sunday could well be said by most of the professing reformed church, both in 2006 and in 2021. No one, it seems, has any idea who Antichrist is.
It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, to borrow a turn of phrase from Winston Churchill. Or at least that’s how it seems to most Christians today.
There are in Scripture numbers commands directed to Christians not to be deceived. Take, for example, Christ’s warning to his disciples at the beginning of his discourse about the end times. “Take heed that you not be deceived,” he told them.
My Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary defines “deceive” thus: the imposing of a false idea or belief that causes bewilderment or helplessness or furthers the agent’s purpose.” On that definition, there are certainly a lot of Americans who have failed to heed Jesus’s injunction.
Our being deceived is no light matter. Speaking of Eve, the Apostle Paul noted that she was “deceived” by the serpent in the garden and that by her deception she “fell into transgression.”
In Deuteronomy, we read, “Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.” In this case, one’s being deceived would result in death and dispossession.
In 1 Corinthians, Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” Here we have a list of sins common, no doubt, in Paul’s day as well as in ours. It would be easy enough to excuse them as they were common practice. It might have even seemed strange to people in the first century if one did not practice such things. Perhaps the Corinthian Christians were tempted to pass over such behavior as customary and not worth mentioning. Maybe they were afraid of challenging those who were involved in them out of misplaced fear of men. Yet Paul says no one who practices such things “will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Many other examples of deception and the Scriptures telling us to avoid it can be found.
I bring up the matter of deception because we live in a world that is working to deceive us 24/7 and doing so with tools that are more sophisticated than at any time in history.
Cardinal Michael Czerney, SJ blesses a replica of Angels Unawares on Loyola University in Chicago on 9/19/2021. The original is in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican and was commissioned by Pope Francis. The main purpose of the sculpture appears to be that of guilting Western nations into destroying themselves with welfare migrants, in order to advance the Roman Catholic Church-States goal of world government.
The Roman Catholic Church-State (RCCS) has always hated the United States of America and has relentlessly sought to subvert and destroy it.
Americans in the 19th century understood this well as evidenced by the many books published by American authors during that century warning people of the dangers Rome posed to the American republic.
If you go a Google Books, you can find a remarkable number of books, nearly all of them forgotten, written by American authors in the 19th century on the threat that growing Roman Catholic political power posed to the liberties of the American people. Here are a few examples:
And just as these books and their authors have largely been forgotten by 21st century Americans, so too has the threat of “political Romanism” been forgotten by them.
Today, one rarely hears any complaint by American Protestants about the baleful influence of Roman Catholic economic and political thought on our republic. In his masterful book Ecclesiastical Megalomania, John Robbins wrote about the hesitance of non-Catholic scholars to research and criticize the RCCS.
Perhaps it is the fear of being labeled “anti-Catholic” that has dissuaded non-Catholic scholars from writing about the Church-State – a fear that undermines all scholarship. Scholars, apparently more solicitous of their academic reputations than of learning itself, have shied away from studies such as this. Perhaps there are other, more legitimate, reasons, such as the excessive secrecy of the papacy. But whatever the reason, the Roman institution has not received the attention and scrutiny it deserves from American scholars (10-11).
Rather than opposing the false philosophy and theology of the RCCS, 20th and 21st century Protestants went out of their way to find common ground with the Antichrist papacy and his Babylonian Harlot church. Today, one is more likely to hear putatively Protestant ministers praise the pope as a brother in Christ than to hear them denounce him as Antichrist. Rome hasn’t changed. It’s still a false church, teaching a false gospel of a false Christ who saves no one. But Protestants have changed. And not for the better.
It’s almost as if we have become ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Justification by Belief Alone, which our forefathers preached boldly but which we seem to fear articulating, or not to even understand.
When Protestants should be rebuking, correcting and refuting the errors of Antichrist – and by Antichrist, I mean the office of the papacy; all popes are Antichrist in that they occupy the office of Antichrist; recent examples of papal Antichrists include Pius XII, of whom we will have more to say shortly, John Paul II, Benedict the XVI and the current papal Antichrist, Francis I – instead they are taking their theological cues from him, offering their congregations little more than warmed-over Romanism with a sprinkling of Evangelical fairy dust to fool the people in the pews into thinking their ideas are somehow Biblical.
But lest we get too far afield in this short post. Let me get to the main point for today, which is to talk about Rome’s bogus World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMF).
Jesuits Push Mass Migration While America’s Southern Border Burns Down
Can anything good come from Chicago? Although I’m sure there are Christians in Chicago, that city has a remarkable penchant for being ground zero for some of the most anti-American ideas and movements one can find.
Chicago, (Sept. 20, 2021) – In observance of National Migration Week, Sept. 20 – 26, 2021, Archdiocese of Chicago parishes and its Immigration Ministry will host events celebrating Chicagoland’s diverse Catholic community. This year’s National Migration Week theme is “Towards an Ever Wider ‘We’.”
“The Holy Father’s theme of widening the ‘we’ comes at a time when so many migrants and refugees are seeking humanitarian aid, protections and resettlements from violence, war, repeated natural disasters and climate change-induced droughts and famine during a surging global pandemic,” said Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago. “As he emphasizes in his encyclical letter Fratelli Tutti, we should think no longer in terms of ‘them’ and ‘those,’ but only as ‘us’. Our Church’s universality calls us to cultivate and celebrate community and diversity and to be companions for those seeking safe havens.”
This is a jaw-dropping headline. At a time when America is in the throes of perhaps the worst migrant crisis in our history, a crisis deliberately caused by our illegitimate, Roman Catholic president Joe Biden, the Archdiocese of Chicago wants to celebrate the very thing the RCCS is using to burn down America as if the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 were something the Archdiocese sees as a model for the whole country.
Worth noting is that the Angels Unawares statue blessed by the Jesuit Cardinal is a replica of a statue commissioned by Antichrist Pope Francis in 2019. As the story notes, “It’s the first sculpture added to the Vatican’s famed St. Peter’s Square in 400 years.”
Now let’s ask a question, is there a connection between the migrant crisis on America’s southern border, the WDMF, and the in-your-face celebration of the WDMF by the Archdiocese of Chicago. The answer is, I am persuaded, yes.
Earlier in this post, I mentioned Pope Pius XII. This Antichrist, subject of the book Hitler’s Pope – not many people today are aware of this, but the Nazi Party was a principally a Roman Catholic movement; Hitler himself served as an acolyte in the Roman Catholic Church and attended Dominican high school, where he was first introduced to the Swastika – was the author of the 1952 Apostolic Constitution Exsul Familia (the Emigree Family), which has served ever since as Rome’s template for promoting mass, welfare migration for the purpose of subverting nation-states, strengthening the RCCS, and ushering in Rome’s dream of world government.
That Exsul Familia is a tissue of nonsense doesn’t seem to matter. It gives the appearance of piety, and that’s enough to persuade many people, both inside and outside the RCCS of the document’s righteousness. In short, the argument of Exsul Familia is that since Joseph was warned in a dream to take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt to get away from the murderous King Herod, it’s okay for migrants from Haiti to barge into America and demand taxpayers pick up the tab for their room, board and anything else they may happen to want.
There are several obvious objections to this line of reasoning. First, when Joseph took his family to Egypt, he was fleeing to another province of the Roman Empire, not to a foreign country. Second, the Scriptures remain silent as to how the family was supported. There was no welfare state, so either they supported themselves or perhaps were taken in by the Jewish community living in Egypt. Third, the scale of the migration is entirely different. Where in the New Testament we see a family of three fleeing to Egypt, today we’re talking about thousands, hundreds of thousands or more. A more appropriate example of mass migration in the Bible is the Exodus. And in the history of the Exodus, we see that Moses was extremely careful not to impose upon the land and resources of established nations.
In Numbers 20 we read,
Now Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom…We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from wells; we will go along the King’s Highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory.
Unlike the RCCS and its cardinals, bishops, priests, and nuns, Moses respected the property of others and did not see it as or as Israel’s right to barge into another nation’s territory and take their stuff. That would be stealing. And stealing is prohibited in the Ten Commandments.
But Rome constantly and unctuously lectures Americans and the citizens of other Western nations that they have an altruistic moral duty to destroy their countries on behalf of migrants when no such duty exists.
Contrary to the false economics of Rome, need is not only not the sole moral criterion of ownership, but it is not a criterion at all. The American people owe nothing, nada, zip, zilch to Haitians. Now, if Christians wish out to help Haitians by giving their own time and money in the name of Jesus Christ – Christian charity is always done in the name of Jesus Christ, see Matthew 10:42 – that’s one thing. But Rome has contempt, as do socialists of all stripes, for private charity. Rome believes in government welfare, where the civil government, contrary to the Bible and to the Constitution, steals money from the American people and lavishes it on foreign migrants, many if not most of whom are in this country contrary to American law.
Rome’s WDMR is a bogus attempt to guilt the wealthy nations of the West into surrendering their sovereignty due to an imagined duty to give their wealth to foreigners when no such duty exists. This canard is a lie of Antichrist in an attempt to cover his lust for world power and dominion with a veneer of pseudo-Christion ethics.
Joe Biden, Servant of Antichrist
It is no accident that America’s greatest migrant crisis is happening on Joe Biden’s watch. Joe Biden, America’s second Roman Catholic president appears to be enthusiastically carrying out the destruction of the United States by means of mass migration and doing so at the behest of Antichrist Pope Francis.
But as bad as Joe Biden is, he still isn’t going far enough for the taste of the of Rome’s many American migration madmen.
In a letter signed by 164 Catholic organizations – 164! – many in the RCCS expressed their outrage that Biden was not moving fast enough to destroy America as they think he should. They think it’s a “travesty” that Biden is summarily deporting people from nations who have a high incidence of disease using Title 42 to do so. Apparently, these treasonous organizations of the RCCS have no problem exposing Americans to communicable diseases so long as they can oversee the importation of more Romanists and other non-Christian, illegal migrants into America. It’s almost as if they’re paraphrasing King Jehu of Israel and saying, “Joe Biden serves Antichrist a little, but we shall serve him much!”
Perhaps Joe Biden’s concession to immigration sanity is the political nature of his position. Things have gotten so bad that on the immigration issue that even people who normally don’t pay much attention to politics are starting to wake up to the fact that the southern border is getting out of hand. On the other hand, the immigration nutjobs in the 164 treasonous Roman Catholic organizations have no public to answer to and care not a whit what the public thinks of them.
Joe Biden, the people associated with these 164 organizations, and anyone who supports their efforts, is, in the opinion of this author, committing treason against the United States of America and is become a domestic enemy of our nation of the sort the Constitution speaks of.
19th century American Protestants would in no way be surprised by this turn of events. This is the very thing they warned about, and it is coming to pass in our generation.
Way back in 1884, Dr. Samuel D. Burchard called the Democrats “the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion.” He was excoriated for saying so, which goes to show that large parts of supposedly Protestant America had already fallen under the sway of the Roman Harlot in his day. And what was true in 1884 is even more true today.
The alarm bells are going off. Our nation is burning down due to the predations of Antichrist and his Mother of Harlots Church. Are there enough Christian men left to put out the fire?

– Dr. Samuel D. Burchard, Presbyterian Minister and Union Civil War Veteran
The account of David’s fight with Goliath is, doubtless, the most famous case of singly combat ever. Many people, even if they have never so much as opened a Bible have heard of their duel.
But while the history of what took place is justifiably famous, there is at least one important detail that is often overlooked. We read how Goliath was wont to come out and taunt Israel and how he, in so many words, double dog dared anyone from Israel’s army to come out and have a go at him one on one.
Now among those present in Israel’s army was King Saul. But even he would not dare to challenge Goliath.
If you stop and think about it, that must have been very demoralizing to the Israelites. After all, a few years prior the Israelites had demanded a king to fight their battles for them like all the other nations. Well, Israel had its king, but the king wasn’t doing his job. He wasn’t leading Israel to victory in battle. Quite the opposite. He was cowering behind the lines at Goliath’s words just like everyone else.
And it got worse.
It wasn’t as if Goliath came out once or twice, got bored with disrespecting Israel, and gave up. No, not at all. If you’ve ever been picked on by a playground bully as a kid, you probably received advice such as, “Just ignore him and he’ll go away.” Sometimes maybe that’s true. But what if the bully doesn’t go away? What if the bully comes back day after day to torment you?
The Apostle Paul in writing to the Romans notes, “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” By saying “as much as it depends on you,” Paul acknowledges that living peaceably with others does not depend solely on you. Sometimes there are men who want to have a go at you for one reason or another, those who like to pick fights.
Goliath was one such man. And he wasn’t the sort of fellow to just go away.
No. The Scriptures tell us that Goliath would come out and say, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” And this, Scripture tells us, he did for forty days both in the morning and in the evening.
So twice a day for forty days, Goliath “defied” the armies of Israel. And no one did anything. Not Saul. Not David’s elder brothers. No one.
Rather, we read, “When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.”
Not very inspiring, that.
Into this courage, leadership, and ultimately faith gap strode David, who famously, by God’s grace, won the day.
Today’s American Protestants More Like Saul than Like David
Now you may wonder why I started a column on the Babylonian Harlot’s – the Babylonian Harlot or Mystery, Babylon the Great as the Apostle John called the Roman Catholic Church-State (RCCS) in Revelation 17 – attack on the United States of America by talking about David and Goliath.
My point is this, that when I look at the reaction of today’s American Protestant church to the obvious, in-your-face predations of the RCCS, I am reminded more of Saul’s reaction to the giant than David’s.
It seems that the more Antichrist – the office of the papacy is the Antichrist and Son of Perdition we read about in the new testament – and his Harlot Church attack America, the more God’s people cower in fear.
Goliath loved getting in Israel’s face. He loved playing the bully. And it all was going great for him until one day it suddenly didn’t. But it took a man of faith and courage to put an end to Goliath’s proud defiance of God’s people.
In like fashion, the RCCS and its Antichrist pope love getting in the face of American Protestants. Since it’s football season, I’ll use a football metaphor. It’s as if Rome is spiking the football in our face and doing a touchdown dance, and no one does anything to put a stop to it.
The pope and his bishops, cardinals, priests, and nuns lecture American Christians constantly about their (supposed) moral duty to destroy their own nation through mass welfare migration, immigration, and refugee resettlement of people, many of whom are difficult if not impossible to assimilate. And not only is there a moral duty, these liars tell us, for Americans to take in the people, but we have an obligation to pay for our own dispossession as well.
And what do we hear from Protestant pulpits about this shameful, daily dissing of our faith of the nation our forefathers built?
Crickets for the most part.
But it gets even worse.
In some cases, putatively Protestant teachers actually internalize Rome’s immigration lies and begin spouting the same socialist, nation-destroying immigration nonsense as do the popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, and nuns of Rome.
Now it may well be, and I’m of a mind to believe that it is the case this day in America, that there are 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
But I think we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, what are we going to do now that the Harlot Church and her pope are in our face? Are we going to be as Saul and his men and be dismayed and greatly afraid?
Now there are reasons, ultimately not good ones, but reasons nonetheless, to be afraid.
First, there is a lack of knowledge. God said, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” And we see this every day here in America. If not literally perishing, many Christians, perhaps even people who sense that there’s something seriously wrong with an immigration system that threatens to replace the historic majority population of this county, lack the ideas to adequately express their concerns.
Even in Bible-believing churches, it’s a rare day that you will ever hear any overt criticism of the RCCS or its false gospel. It’s a rare day indeed that you’ll hear the pope identified as the Antichrist of the New Testament in plain language of the sort used in the original Westminster Confession of Faith.
At a Bible study, I once brought up that Rome teaches the real presence of Christ in the mass. Now this being one of the most important doctrines of Rome, I would have thought that this would be a non-controversial statement. But it wasn’t. There were some people in my Bible study who actually defended Rome, denying that Rome teaches this doctrine that it very clearly does teach. I got the distinct sense that some were embarrassed that I had even brought up the point. And it wasn’t even as if I’d called the pope Antichrist! He is. But I simply brought up what Rome herself teaches in her own words and found myself met with resistance in a Protestant Bible study.
If Protestants won’t teach and believe the Reformation doctrine of Antichrist and refuse to criticize Rome for its many soul-destroying and blasphemous teachings, how can we possibly expect anyone else to do so? This is our fight. We’re it. If we don’t get the job done, who will?
Second, speaking out against Rome feels strange. We don’t see others doing it, so maybe we start to think calling out Antichrist and his Harlot Church is a sort of social “no go” zone. We’re told as children that you don’t talk about religion and politics. And talking about the evil of political Romanism is both of those things at once. It’s easier to pretend not to notice what’s going on and talk instead about the weather or sports or something like that.
Third, we can’t handle the truth. One suspects that there are Protestants who have a sense that there is something extraordinarily, preternaturally evil about Rome, but they don’t want to go there. They prefer willful blindness to the evil of the RCCS rather than doing a little research and reading on their own. It’s easier for us to play hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil rather than look at the situation as it is. Because if we know what Rome in truth is, how can we not speak out against it? And that’s dangerous. And we don’t want to go there.
I once had a Protestant minister say to me that he knew Rome was the Babylonian Harlot with a false gospel sending that sent people to hell, but he said he couldn’t speak out against it. The implication seemed to be that it would cause so much controversy in his ministry that he would lose his job.
The minister may well have been right. But that’s not a good reason to avoid criticizing Rome.
Where Has Our Cowardice Gotten Us?
So, just where has our cowardice gotten us Protestants? Has playing nice with Rome and calling the pope “Our Brother in Christ” mollified the pope or caused the Babylonian Harlot Church to stop kicking sand in our faces?
No, it has not.
If nothing else, our cowardice and unwillingness to speak out against the unbiblical, unchristian, unholy evil of Rome’s philosophy, theology, politics, and economics have simply invited more blatant attacks.
What’s going on with the migrant hordes assaulting our southern border is one of the most flagrant and in-your-face attacks by Rome this author has ever seen.
To use another comparison, Protestants today are acting much more like Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill, begging Rome for “peach in our time” while the Pope and his henchmen in the church and his dutiful servant in the White House assault our southern border with what is probably the single largest wave of mass, illegal immigration in our nation’s history.
Christian, do you think Rome is going to feel sorry for you? Do you think the Antichrist Jesuit Pope will have mercy on you? Do you think the US Conference of Catholic Bishops will call off their attack dogs?
No.
The more we remain silent, the more we will be attacked until all is consumed and we find ourselves strangers in the land built by our forefathers.
Reprove, Correct, and Instruct
Writing to the Ephesians, Paul said enjoined them, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (or expose) them.” In 2 Timothy we’re told by Paul that all scripture is profitable for reproof, correction, and instruction.
It is high time, and well past time, for us Christians to get about our job of applying the Scriptures to the evil deeds of the RCCS. And there are so many of them.
In the past, I have thought at times that I was being overly hard on Rome. I think to myself that I had gone overboard in my criticism of their doctrine and their evil deeds, only to find out that I didn’t understand half of how evil Rome truly is.
The flagrant, in your face evil of what’s being done to Texas with the flood of migrants, and the weak to nonexistent response from the American Protestant church is disgraceful. Paul ordered the Corinthians to “in understanding be men.” Yet far too often, we Protestants prefer to remain as children.
I realize I’ve been hard on my fellow believers in this post. But seriously, enough is enough.
It has come down to this. Either God’s people trust in him, believe his Word, and apply it to Rome’s evil economic and political philosophy and practices, or we lose our nation.
It’s really that simple.
May the Lord grant that we make the wise choice and follow him.

“Our patience is wearing thin
.” Thus did the imposter-in-chief and son of Antichrist Joe Biden bellow from the lectern on Thursday.
My message to unvaccinated Americas is this: what more is there to wait for, what more do you need to see? We’ve made vaccinations free, safe, and convenient. The Vaccine is FDA approved [it isn’t, but that’s another matter]. Over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot. We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. So please, do the right thing. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to the voices of unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds taking their final breath saying, “if only I’d gotten vaccinated! If only!” It’s a tragedy. Please don’t let it become yours.
With his words, this treasonous liar managed, in very short order, to declare war, not just on unvaccinated Americans, but on all the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of all Americans.
Quite apart from the fact that the Covid vaccines are unsafe and ineffective, Biden’s arrogant and threatening words are among the most disturbing, unconstitutional, and unchristian utterances made by any American politician ever. It’s that serious.
There is no provision in our Constitution that allows a president to dictate what medical treatments a person must have. There is no support for such a thing in Scripture.
It only he had stuck with plagiarizing Neil Kinnock.
Now, when speaking as President in 2021, it seems that Biden has raised his game, lifting his ideas from a higher source. In this case, Revelation 13 seems to be where Biden is stealing his ideas these days. There we read, “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
It is not my point here to argue that the Covid vaccine answers to the prophecy in John’s Revelation. With that said, Biden’s threat to the unvaccinated is certainly of that same spirit we find in Revelation. “Do what I tell you, or else!”
It’s also of the same spirit one finds in the Roman Catholic Church, the Great Babylonian Harlot of Revelation. In the middle ages, Rome was all about “do what we say, or else!” If you didn’t believe that Christ really, truly was present in the sacrifice of the mass, well, you were in a whole lot of trouble and would likely find yourself on the receiving end of some nasty business. This is what dogma is. “Believe, or else!” No matter how stupid, absurd, and unbiblical Rome’s pronouncements were. You had to accept what the pope and his henchmen said or suffer the consequences.
Back in 2006 in his essay “The Religious Wars of the 21st Century,” John Robbins wrote, “The Protestant Reformation is indeed over; the respite of peace, freedom, and prosperity it afforded the West from the long history of human brutality is drawing to a close; and the world is about to enter a new Dark Age of slavery, brutality, and war. Only the second coming of Christ or an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit can prevent religious totalitarians from imposing their will on billions of people.”
Some may have thought Robbins a pessimist when he wrote that. But fifteen years later, his words seem downright prescient.
America is suffering under the government of its second Roman Catholic president. And unlike the first one, John F. Kennedy, Biden not only sees no need to hide his political and economic Romanism, but actually goes out of his way to embrace them.
By political and economic Romanism, I mean the application of the Roman Catholic Church-State’s (RCCS) theology and philosophy to those two disciplines.
Ohio senatorial candidate J.D. Vance shared tweeted out this screen shot from a recent NBC News broadcast. It would seem that if you question the liberty destroying Covid protocols demanded by the Democrats or think the 2020 presidential election was stolen, the Department of Homeland Security thinks you just may be a terror threat.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 18:3
“America is under sustained attack,” wrote Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar in a recent tweet.
In what way? you may ask.
The Rep. Gosar went on to site a few examples. “America is under sustained attack on its sovereignty with open borders, against its culture by race hustlers, against our public fisc [fisc meaning state treasury], and against our political/medical dissidents with a capricious legal system.”
The Congressman is right on all counts.
Worth noting is that Rep. Gosar’s tweet was in response to a tweet by Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee who had tweeted out “The Republican Party stands with the people of Cuba fighting for freedom!”
Rep. Gosar finished his tweet writing, “For the love of everything holy Cuba can wait. Help America First.
Again, Paul Gosar is right on target.
The Democrats have openly become the party of treason and tyranny, while the Republicans uselessly tweet out about the goings on in other countries while ignoring the fire in our own house.
To borrow a turn of phrase from Isaiah, our cites are burned with fire (Antifa and BLM riots) while strangers devour our land before our face (Biden’s treasonous open borders polity, what some migrants call “la invitación”), yet all the Republican leadership can do is tweet out about demonstrations in Cuba. Apart from a few individuals – Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Thomas Massie, the afore mentioned Rep. Paul Gosar and some others – very few Republicans have taken any kind of public stand against the deliberate destruction of the United States of America by the treasonous, lying, illegitimate Biden regime, the Democratic Party, and Deep State technocrats such as the Jesuit Anthony Fauci.
America is under sustained attack to a degree and in a way that I personally have never witnessed. And I’d be less than honest with you were I to say that I’ve been unfazed by it. I’ve found myself alternately furious, despairing, and even scared.
In mid-August 2021, Americans are faced, not only with some of the items already mentioned, but by vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, renewed mask requirements and possible lockdowns, not to mention a War On Domestic Terror which is threatening to criminalize political opinions at odds with the ruling elite’s preferred narrative.
Wilton Cardinal Gregory, Archbishop of Washington D.C., is extraordinarily generous with other peoples’ money.

As a blogger in the Year of Our Lord 2021, it’s hard sometimes to know what to focus on. Not for lack of topics, mind you. Not at all. Rather, it’s because there are just so many things that that demand attention it’s can be hard to know where to begin.
We have anti-Christian and anti-white Critical Race Theory running rampant, taking over governments at all levels, corporations, schools, universities, and the media. The illegitimate Biden regime has declared war on the deplorables, seeking to brand them all as white supremacist insurrectionists for the crime of political disagreement. Covid vaccine tyranny threatens our civil liberties in a way that was unimaginable just two years ago. Our economy is in free fall. The federal government is spending money like a drunken sailor. The Federal Reserve, America’s central bank, is printing money at a fantastic pace to finance that spending and to keep the financial system from imploding. Oh, and then there’s climate change and the Green New Deal. I can’t neglect to mention these frauds.
There’s all that.
And then there’s the illegal immigration crisis at our southern border, a crisis deliberately brought about by the treasonous policies of the Biden regime. A crisis that serves several purposes. At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed or underemployed due to the tyrannical Covid lockdown polices favored by the Democrats, this is a gift to the cheap labor lobby. A second purpose is that of importing Democrats, diluting the votes of the historic American nation, and setting up permanent, single-party Democratic rule. The party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism and rebellion wants to do to the whole nation what it did to California. But a third purpose, and perhaps really the first purpose, is to continue Romanizing America Through Illegal Immigration.
Joseph R. Biden is a Roman Catholic and openly carries out the Vatican’s immigration policy designed to subvert the United States of America by turning it into an ungovernable Tower of Babel, to overthrow the Biblical and Protestant Westphalian World Order (WWO), and to institute the New World Order (NWO), an anti-Christian, technocratic, Satanic form of world government.
But while the Roman Catholic Church-State (RCCS) has openly, loudly, and constantly worked to undermine the WWO through mass migration, hardly anyone seems to notice this. Yet once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
A recent example of Rome’s open assault on the United States – I write here of American, because I’m and American and know the situation here better than I do other places, but make no mistake, what Rome is doing to America, it’s doing to European nations and other nations throughout the world – came from archbishop of Washington D.C., Cardinal Wilton Gregory. In an article titled “D.C. Archbishop: American Must ‘Share Our Abundance” With Illegal Aliens,” the archbishop openly argued that Congress has an obligation to commit treason against the American people by granting amnesty to the approximately 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States.
Said Gregory,
Catholic social teaching upholds the principle that every person has the right to live in his or her own homeland in security and dignity. However, when loss of work forces migration, we must welcome them, protect them and share our abundance with them.
Standing in solidarity with our migrant brothers and sisters means once again raising the question, will we care for our neighbor? After years of delay, the 117th Congress now has an opportunity to be courageous by addressing immigration in a comprehensive and productive way.
Note well Gregory’s use of the term “must.” According to the archbishop, Congress has a moral obligation to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. The granting of amnesty to those who violated American immigration law is not merely a matter of policy, says the archbishop, but an ethical imperative.
The basis for this moral imperative, says Gregory, is that people have a right to migrate or to immigrate. Now it’s important to understand what the RCCS means by this. Rome doesn’t simply mean that people have a right to move from one nation to another, but that the citizens of the receiving state have a moral obligation to shower the newcomers with fabulous cash and prizes in the form of goodies from the welfare state. This is what Wilton means when he says, “we must…share our abundance with them.”
One of the most offensives aspects of Rome’s calls for immigration treason is its coyness when it comes to who bears the cost for its pharisaical moralizing. Just as the pharisees of old tied up burdens heavy to bear on men’s backs but would not themselves so much as lift a finger to bear them, so too does the RCCS hold itself out as some great force for moral goodness while dumping the cost of its pronouncements off on others. In this case, it’s the citizens of the United States who will bear the cost of Wilton’s nonsense. Wilton, like Rome generally, is quite generous with other peoples’ money.
But while Rome usually hides behind the fog of generalities when it comes to who pays for its migrant pronouncements, every now and then a Catholic writer spills the beans. Writing in the introduction to Exsul Familia: The Church’s Magna Charta for Migrants, editor Rev. Giulivo Tessarolo wrote, “In undertaking this work, I took cognizance of a significant social fact of our time; that, due to enormous financial implications, the phenomenon of emigration will find some relief only in the English-speaking countries. The vast influx of immigrants into Canada and Australia confirms that fact.” In other words, Tessarolo thought that only the Anglosphere could bear the enormous costs of mass welfare migration. He was surely right in this.
Note well, Tessarolo’s remarks exclude the U.S., because he wrote in 1962, three years before America opened the immigration floodgates with the 1965 Immigration Act, an Act signed into law by then President Lyndon Johnson. During the signing ceremony, Johnson attributed the Act to, “the vision of the late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy [American’s first Roman Catholic president], and to the support given to this measure by the then Attorney General and now Senator, Robert F. Kennedy [also a son of Rome].”
It was Rome that helped gift American with the welfare state, and it was Rome that the used that weaponized that welfare state to supercharge immigration, migration, and refugee resettlement for the purposes of undermining American and turning from a free and sovereign republic into another cog in the globalist machine. Not only is the historic American nation being dispossessed as it is overrun with replacement migration, but it is also forced to pay for the privilege of its own dispossession. This is truly diabolical and is exactly what one would expect from Antichrist and Mystery Babylon.
One important theoretical point that Cardinal Wilton did not mention in his attack on the American nation is Rome’s unbiblical theory of property call “the universal destination of goods” (UDG). I’ve written extensively about the UDG in this space and will not repeat all that I have said on the subject. One example can be found here. For our purposes today, I’ll simply remark that Rome’s conception of private property is probably not the same as yours. You likely think that your title to property gives you the legal and moral the exclusive right to use and to dispose of the things you own. But Rome doesn’t see it that way. In Rome’s unbiblical economic and political thought, need is the only criterion for ownership. If someone needs an item you possess, it is that person’s right, or the government’s, to take it from you and to give it to him for his use. This, in a nutshell, is the UDG.
A second idea underlying Rome’s theory of immigration is a concept called The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man (FOGBOM). John Robbins explains FOGBOM in his masterful book Ecclesiastical Megalomania, where he quotes John Paul II in one of his encyclicals, Sollicitudo Rei Socialis (On the Social Concern). Wrote John Paul II, “The teaching and spreading of her social doctrine are part of the Church’s evangelizing mission.” One of the ways the RCCS seeks to “evangelize” the world with its social doctrine in through mass, illegal, taxpayer subsidized immigration. Writing in Strangers No Longer (SNL) – SNL is a 2003 position paper co-authored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and their Mexican Conference of Catholic Bishops; essentially, it functions as the bishop’s game plan for subverting the United States of America through mass, taxpayer funded illegal immigration from Mexico and other Latin American nations – the bishops conclude,
As bishops we have decided, in the words of Pope John Paul II, to “put out into the deep” 31 in search of common initiatives that will promote solidarity between our countries, particularly among the Catholics of both countries [America and Mexico]. We are committed to the new evangelization of our continent and to the search for new ways of leading our peoples to encounter Christ, who is “the path to conversion, communion and solidarity” (emphasis mine).
Worth noting in this quote are the words “the path to conversion, communion and solidarity.” These are taken from Pope John Paul II’s 1999 exhortation “Ecclesia in America,” in which the Pope writes, “the Virgin of Guadalupe [Our Lady of Guadalupe] is venerated as Queen of all America.” And by “America,” the Pope means the whole continent, not the nation commonly called America. The Pope goes on to call Our Lady of Guadalupe the “Patroness of all America and Star of the first and new evangelization” …and “Mother and Evangelizer of America.” One of the chief means of evangelization used by Our Lady of Guadalupe is illegal immigration.
Yes, Rome seeks to evangelize the United States with the gospel of a demon called Our Lady of Guadalupe. To borrow a Star Trek reference, it’s as if Rome wants all Americans to become one with the FOGBOM Borg through the lies of a demonic apparition.
So, according to the immigration theory of the RCCS, not only do migrants have the right to barge into your country, immigration laws and economic conditions notwithstanding, they also have the right to take your stuff. And you have no say in the matter. As an American, your only job is to sit down, shut up, and fork it over. To make matters worse, these same illegal immigrants are charged with the responsibility of “evangelizing” Americans with the doctrines of devils, namely, devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
So much for the immigration theory of the RCCS.
An estimated 1,000 migrants wait under the Anzalduas International Bridge near McAllen, TX, August 2021. This is what happens when Rome’s evil immigration theory is put into practice.
Rome’s Immigration Practice
Rome is daily, openly, and actively working to subvert the United State of America by promoting the current massive flood of illegal immigration across our southern border. One of the Trump Administration’s few real wins has, in the space of a mere seven months, been completely reversed by the treasonous, illegitimate Biden regime through “la invitacion,” Spanish for “y’all come on up and we’ll give you lots of free stuff!”
In a recent article titled “COVID-19, Catholics and Illegal Alien Charities,” columnist Michelle Malkin, herself a Roman Catholic, exposed some of the wicked, treasonous activities of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grand Valley (CCRGV). It seems that not only has CCRGV actively promoted illegal border crossings, but has put up large numbers of Covid positive migrants in motels along the border.
Citing Fox New reporter Bill Melugin, Malkin writes,
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported on Tuesday that “after an incident at a Whataburger, police in La Joya, (Texas,) say they’ve learned illegal immigrants who test positive for COVID-19 are being released from federal custody to a local Catholic charity in the (Rio Grande Valley,) which then places them in local hotels without notice.”
So here we are at a time when actual American citizens are being threatened with new lockdowns, mask requirements, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, vaccine “strike forces,” placement on no-fly lists, etc. all supposedly to save us all from the dread “Delta Variant,” while illegal, Covid positive immigrants brought here by the illegitimate Biden regime and Catholic Charities are released into American cities with absolutely no concern for the health effects on the American people.
To underscore the treasonous nature of CCRGV and its complete disregard for the health and well-being of the American people, Bill Melugin reports that he asked the executive director of CCRGV, a nun by the name of Norma Pimentel, how many Covid positive illegal immigrants were quarantined in local hotels. Pimentel’s response was that she had been advised not to comment.
This nun, who is openly endangering the health of the America people, hides behind a “no comment” when asked about her treasonous practices. Could anything be more typical of the arrogance and irresponsibility of the RCCS than this?
Anyone paying attention to the news knows the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is terrible. Anyone who actually visits the border discovers it is worse than that.
Here is what is most striking about the government’s response to the unprecedented surge of illegal border crossers: It is entirely improvised. Jury-rigged. Thrown together in a scramble to accommodate thousands of migrants who were not coming just months ago. And the reason it is being improvised is that during his first days in office, President Joe Biden blew up the foundation of the government’s handling of migrants. With a series of executive actions, Biden threw out key policies with nothing ready to replace them. And he did it using rhetoric that invited migrants to rush to the border — more than 172,000 in March alone, including nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children (emphasis mine).
Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. He serves not the interests of the American people, nor does he defend the Constitution. He is a tool of the Vatican and does the bidding of his father in Rome. What you are seeing on America’s southern border is the practice of Rome’s nation breaking theory of immigration.
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
When Presbyterian Samuel D. Burchard said described the Democrats as the “party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism and rebellion,” he could not have been more accurate or prescient in his remarks. The Democrats were then, and are much more today, exactly that. The current Pope and the popes before him have openly called for mass migration in the name of humanitarianism. But it’s not the good of the world’s poor that is the concern of the occupants of the office of Antichrist. Their goal is world government; migrants are their pawns for achieving that end. And in the United States, the primary channel for the papal Antichrist to work his evil deeds has been the Democratic party. This has been the case for over 150 years.
By flooding America’s southern border with an unprecedented flow of illegal immigrants, the Biden regime, the party of rum Romanism and rebellion, and their supporters in the schools, universities, and the media are working overtime to carry out Antichrist’s immigration policy, see, for example, here, here and here. The ultimate aim of this policy to subvert the United Sates, and, more generally, the WWO and usher in a tyrannical, globalist empire headed by Rome. There is nothing, not one thing, about the Biden regime’s immigration policy that is in any way beneficial to ordinary Americans or to the nation as a whole. But it does serve certain elite interests, in particular that of the RCCS, the Democratic party, the massive governmental welfare bureaucracy, socialists generally, and those who benefit from the cheapest possible labor while offloading the social costs of that cheap labor onto taxpayers.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 of the Constitution sets forth the presidential oath of office, which reads, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” There is nothing, not one thing, about Joe Biden’s immigration policy that is consistent with this oath. But his polices and his words have been consistent with carrying out the immigration policy of Antichrist. For this reason alone he deserves to be removed from office. One may well argue that Biden’s immigration policy rises to the level of treason. In the opinion of this author, it does.
The RCCS and the Popes of Rome are wicked beyond what most people can imagine. Time was, Christians understood the evil of Rome and opposed it. Writing in the 19th century, Charles Spurgeon said, “It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist, and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name.”
But ask yourself, when was the last time you hear a sermon denouncing Rome as Mystery Babylon or the pope as Antichrist. If you’re like me or like most Christians in Bible believing churches, the answer is never.
Brothers, this cannot be allowed to stand. We must do better. Antichrist and his minions are openly, brazenly, and without opposition destroying America and other nations around the world through mass migration, immigration, and refugee resettlement. Yet our pulpits remain silent in the face of this evil.
I’m reminded or the Proverb, “A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well.”
For far too long, Protestants have faltered before the wicked Pope’s of Rome. Things have gotten so bad that many nominal Protestants promote Antichrist as their “brother in Christ.”
America is under sustained attack by Antichrist and Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots. It’s high time Christians repented of their cowardice and called upon the Lord to grant them the courage to expose evil, nation destroying immigration theory and practice of the papal Antichrist and the RCCS. The future of our nation depends on it.
