[W]here the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
– 2 Corinthians 3:17
“Pope Francis: Climate Change Has Become An ‘Emergency’” ran the Breitbart headline from last Thursday, July 14. The occasion for this story was, “Pope Francis instruct[ing] the Holy See to sign onto the 2015 Paris Climate Accord.”
The Paris Climate Accord, a globalist power grab designed to strip citizens of their political and economic liberties in the name of stopping climate change, is one of many hoaxes used by globalists, including the Antichrist papacy, to destroy what remains of the Protestant Westphalian World Order (WWO) and to promote socialism and global government.
Not wanting Jorge Bergoglio (aka Francis I) to have all the fun, the very next day Joe Biden, America’s second Roman Catholic president, declared that he will move forward with his own initiatives to combat climate change and curb greenhouse gas emissions.
According to this article from CNBC, Biden made his remarks, “a day after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told Democratic leadership that he won’t support the climate provisions in the reconciliation bill.”
Note that CNBC said nothing about Biden’s remarks following the Pope’s. No, that would let the cat out of the bag. Biden’s remarks were following Joe Manchin’s refusal to support “climate provisions.”
Just as the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century freed men from the spiritual tyranny of the Roman Catholic Church-State, so did it liberate them from Rome’s political and economic tyranny.
But the past 131 years have seen a steady decrease in political and economic liberty and a concomitant rise in Roman Catholic authoritarianism.
“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”

“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.
“We’ll always have Paris.” Those words, uttered by Humphrey Bogart, are among the most iconic in film history.
Fast forward seventy-five years and Donald Trump flips the script, saying Thursday in so many words “We’ll never have the Paris Accord!”
Well, praise the Lord and amen!
The Paris Accord was a disaster for this nation, and Trump was absolutely right to reject it.
Let’s take a closer look
Trump’s Thursday Speech
Running about 27 minutes, Trump’s speech was music to the ears of his supporters and a trigger to his foes.
Said Trump, “Therefore, in order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord…As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American citizens. The Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers – who I love – and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production…Compliance with the terms of the Paris Accord and the onerous energy restrictions it has placed on the United States could cost America as much as 2.7 million jobs by 2025…I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States – which it does – …while imposing no meaningful obligations on the world’s leading polluters…In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries…This agreement is less about climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States…The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries…The fact that the Paris deal hamstrings the United States, while empowering some of the world’s top polluting countries..the real reason why foreign lobbyists wish to keep our..country ties up and bound down by this agreement: It’s to give their country an economic edge over the United States. That’s not going to happen while I’m President…The Paris Agreement handicaps the United States economy…I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris…Foreign leaders in Europe, Asia, and across the world should not have more to say with respect to the U.S. economy than our own citizens and their elected representatives. Thus, our withdrawal from the agreement represents a reassertion of America’s sovereignty..AS President, I have one obligation, and that obligation is to the American people.
Not only were Trump’s words a stinging rejection of the globalist Paris Climate Accord, but conversely they represented the single strongest statement of American sovereignty by a president in my lifetime.
Global cooling. Global warming. Climate change. Yawn.
For decades we’ve been lectured by the so-called best and brightest about how environmental disaster looms just over the horizon. Humanity’s only hope, we are told, depends upon our willingness to hand over every last penny, every last freedom in our possession to the all-wise, all-knowing globalist keepers-of-the-flame who alone possess the vision to lead us, the benighted masses, through this our darkest hour.
Oh, spare me. Please!
I haven’t written much about environmental issues in this blog space. But since environmental fear mongering has been a permanent part of the globalist playbook now for decades, it behooves me to pay a bit more attention to it.
To that end, a couple of items caught my attention recently.
Another week has come and gone, and with it another debate. This time, one of the Vice-Presidential variety between Republican Mike Pence and Democrat Time Kaine.
I confess I did not watch the whole thing. I caught bits and pieces. But I think I saw enough to say that, at least from a style standpoint, Mike Pence came off well. Unlike Trump, he appeared to actually done his homework for the debate and seemed ready to answer the tough questions, especially the ones concerning Trump.
Pence also came off as more gracious than Kaine, who spent a remarkable amount of time interrupting him.
But I’m not here to break down the minutiae of the debate. There are others who can do that far better than I. And what with yesterday’s news being what happened five minutes ago, the debate is old hat at this point anyway.
What really did interest me about the debate is an aspect of Tim Kaine’s background that has, on the whole, attracted little interest from the mainstream press: his Roman Catholicism.
A little research into Kaine reveals the following:
He went to Jesuit high school, where, according to Jesuit magazine America, “he first started ‘talking about faith and spirituality’ ”
He Approves Jesuit Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical Laudato Si.
He Indicates his Jesuit faith is “central to everything I do.”
The pope’s address to Congress in 2015 moved Kaine to tears. This is the same speech where Francis took it upon himself to lecture Congress and Americans with his socialist environmental and immigration message.
I could go on, but it seems abundantly clear that Tim Kaine is a hard-core Jesuit. Brining this up isn’t anti-Catholic bigotry as some would like to think. It’s a clear demonstration that this man who wants to be Vice-President has a view of economics and politics that is far from, and actually diametrically opposed to, what the Bible teaches.
Kaine is an intellectual slave to his Jesuit philosophy, and no Evangelical should support such a man for any office. Let alone the high office of the Vice-President.
Freedom and Capitalism: Essays on Christian Politics and Economics by John W. Robbins (The Trinity Foundation, Unicoi Tennessee, 650 pages, 2006), $29.95 (E-Book $10.00).
“Brevity, clarity, and profundity are three virtues missing from the modern world,” wrote John Robbins in the introduction to his commentary on Philemon, (Christianity & Slavery, 7). But while these admirable qualities are missing from the works of most contemporary writers, such is not the case with Robbins’ work.
This reviewer has long been of the opinion that one can get more sound theology and philosophy from reading a single short essay by the late Dr John Robbins that he can get from entire shelves full of books by other authors. In Freedom and Capitalism, Robbins once again displays his remarkable talent for presenting profound ideas in a compact and readable package.
Robbins, who is likely well known to followers of this blog as the founder and former president of The Trinity Foundation, held a Ph.D. in Political Philosophy from The Johns Hopkins University and worked on the staff of Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, serving as Paul’s Chief of Staff from 1981-1985.
He was also an active lecturer and writer. Concerning the latter, Robbins commented in his introduction to Capitalism and Freedom that, “Over the past 40 years, as a student (high shcool, college, and graduate) and adult, I have written hundreds of essays, articles, and letters-to-the-editor” (9). This book represents a collection of thirty-one of articles, all but four by Robbins, on the subjects of politics and economics.
The essays presented in Freedom and Capitalism concern a variety of topics within the broad fields of politics and economics and were written over a period of thirty-four years. But for all that, there is a common theme that runs through them, the Scripturalism of Gordon Clark. Robbins nicely summarizes Clark’s Christian system of thought as follows:
Epistemology: The Bible tells me so.
Soteriology: Justification is by belief alone.
Metaphysics: In Him we live and move and have our being.
Ethics: We ought to obey God rather than men.
Politics: Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.
Economics: Laissez-faire capitalism: Have I not the right to do what I will with my own? (9)
