Stand With Faithful Catholics Of Nashville TN

Note: What I am about to relate is a scenario that will become more and more common in Catholic schools and parishes.  It is an expected consequence of Amoralis Lamentia.  Last July we reported on a particularly lurid piece of pornography promulgated by the Vatican Pontifical Council for the Family called the "Meeting Point", a euphemism for "sex education".  My post, and the linked LifeSiteNews report, point out many ways in which this program is a slap in the face to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This past summer several Church officials from around the world authored and signed a letter asking the pope to condemn the errors of Amoris Laetitia.  In this post of mine is a video of pro-life and Catholic leaders asking the same; some ask for the complete withdrawal of Amoris Laetitia.   A few days ago GloraTV announced that some of the signers are suffering repercussions for standing for the faith.  Hey!  Why aren't they being "accompanied"?  Double standard much??

This heavy-handedness is being manifested in the Diocese of Nashville Tennessee.  LifeSiteNews reports that parents of a student at Father Ryan High School were told in no uncertain terms that unless they ceased their objections with the lurid sex ed program there, their son could not return.  The bishop, David Choby basically stuck his finger in the parents' eyes.  While giving some perfunctory lip-service to parental rights, he then went on to say that these rights were subordinated to school demands.  The fact is that Church tradition has always held parental rights to be binding under natural law and that educators were there to support the parents.  Now the parents aren't being supported.  They are being undermined overtly, and are even being punished by a bishop who now stands in stark disobedience to Church teaching and natural law regarding the primacy of parents in the education of their children.

What the diocese is doing is a direct result of the document known as Amoris Laetitia.  Within the document itself are statements and footnotes that undermine parental authority.  Moreover, the abuse that the Nashville bishop is orchestrating against this family is very similar to the vindictiveness that is being unleashed against some of the signers of the letter.

The LifeSiteNews article, at the bottom, has contact information for the bishop and for school officials.  I ask all my readers to contact these individuals.  With respect but in no uncertain terms, please rebuke them for:

• the vindictive punishment meted out to this family
• their disrespect for the place that parents have in the education of their children
• the existence of this pornography in the school

That is what we all can do.  Good Catholics in the Diocese of Nashville should rally around this family and decide on local courses of actions.  Boycotts of collections and pickets come to mind.  Don't be passive in the face of this evil, for if we are passive, we'll only encourage future outrages.

Things From The Uterus Belong To The State

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, in a so-called "public service announcement", engaged in a moment of inadvertent candor when she opined that "children belong to whole communities" as opposed to being the responsibility of their parents. This is presumably after the "things in the uterus turn into humans", to quote her previous statement.  She is clearly an apt spokesperson for public education - and I am not being facetious, but I do digress.

Getting back to her Freudian slip about children belonging to "the collective", many of my colleagues are shocked at this revelation; I am not.  This has been the game plan all along of the denizens of public education.  I minored in secondary education at the University of Maryland so my knowledge of the matter is not trivial.  We were taught in no uncertain terms that John Dewey was the "father of modern education".  Arguably he was, as he left his humanistic paw prints all over the place.  And yes, he was a signer of the Humanist Manifesto.

Paula Bolyard of PJMedia asks the question (a very good question) "Has a century of progressive education turned us into obedient sheep?"  I'd suggest that all read it.  The obvious answer to her question is a resounding "yes".  And that is by intent!

Read closely the Humanist Manifesto - and then read of the various "efforts" of the National Education Association.  The production of passive "sheeple" following the dictates of oligarchies such as the one fronted by the Messiah Most Miserable has been its thinly-disguised goal.  In other words, the public education system is following the playbook written long ago by John Dewey.

Here's the MSNBC video below.

Why Government-Controlled Education Must Be Abolished

The initials "NEA" more aptly stand for "Nationalist Educators' Arrogance" than they do the more conventional organization name.  Listen to one of their minions in their Michigan affiliate.  She doesn't bother to couch her disdain for parents in any nuanced language.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.



One of my degrees from the University of Maryland featured a minor in secondary education.  Thus I know first-hand how educators are taught to view themselves.  I also know that John Dewey, signer of the original Humanaist Manifesto, is revered as the "father of modern education".  I agree that is a most appropriate title for him, although I don't think "reverence" is a proper response to his work in setting up a structure in which children can be molded into passive little puppets for progressivism.

I salute my home-schooling friends for taking their parental responsibilities seriously and for giving their children education worth its name.

Michelle Obama - "Obese Children...National Security Issue"

A week or so ago, we heard Janet Napolitano tell us that "climate change" is a national security threat.  Well, since that fad has died its quick death, we have a new security threat!  Are you biting your fingernails yet?  Well, here it is, from Mrs Messiah herself!  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



She, of course, is talking of the so-called "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act".  She claims that obesity is a "national security threat" because supposedly recruits are coming in overweight.  Michelle, what else is new?  One of the purposes of basic training is to get the recruits in shape.  That's how it's always been - that is, until training standards were dumbed down so that women, etc could "pass".

She also claims this bill will "save lives".  My, my!  She shares her husband's messianic delusions of grandeur.  As he looks on, he must be jealous of her since she is obviously not dependent on a teleprompter - but I digress!  Now note, on the video, at the 1:40 marker, where she states "we can't just leave it up to the parents".  Oh, yes we can.  And we accomplish that by getting rid of the structures and bureaucracies that subvert and undermine parental authority and perogative in their children's lives.  Do we hear the nanny-socialist state rattling its saber here?  Watch out for the "fat police" coming our way!

To further reimforce the nanny state (to propagandize children and those of childish minds), watch this condescending tripe which was produced with your tax dollars!  Click here if you can't see embedded video. 



You did notice, of course, that there's none of that nasty red meat, right?  Well, maybe after that school subverts Elmo's parents and feeds him a politically-correct diet, they can teach him proper language skills so that the poor little thing no longer speaks of himself in the third person.

Before any snide progressives snipe at me for belittling the Obamas' "concern for children", remember that they are both rabidly pro-abortion.  Recall all that talk of "future promise" in the first video?  Well, what we see now is only 66% of the "promise" that God sent, as 1/3 of unborn children are murdered in their mothers' wombs - murders that the Obamas have worked hard to facilitate!
