--- "For the leftists marching through the institutions they view the places they occupy (like churches) as bases of operations."

Note the EXACT same gambit and rationale of Islam, which the Left thinks makes some kind of ally in their quest for "occupation." Of course, this is laughable, but the Dunning–Kruger effect applies in and to both.

Leftism at its root is a nihilistic enterprise.

They want to destroy everything.

That is why Islam (in Western countries) is an ally to the left despite what appear to be obvious contradictions since Islam wants to destroy the West.

In Islamic countries leftists would be quickly executed.

They are operating in bad faith—use words as weapons of indoctrination and subversion.

Problem is, that spells bloody trouble.

King Herod wanted to kill Jesus because he feared the newborn Jesus, proclaimed as the “King of the Jews,” (thanks for that, Three Wise Men) would overthrow his own rule and challenge his authority, prompting him to order the brutal Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem to eliminate the potential rival.
(Herod was basically Schiff, Booker, Schumer: take your pick)
Once again, sadly there will be no Christmas for little Navy Biden in the Biden home—or at the Clintons or Obamas, for that matter—due to the Pharicrats ongoing inability to find three wise men or a virgin.
heh

I suspect the pastor of this parish got a call from the Bishop and told to cut the crap.

The Bishop probably got a call from the Cardinal who said cut the crap.

Christian churches must stick to the Good News of Christ’s coming to us as a human Child!

Political posturing must never replace the Message given to us by God Himself!

Remember this?
In 1998 former-FBI agent Gary Aldrich wrote a book called Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House. In the book, he claimed that the 1994 White House Christmas Tree was decorated with condoms and drug paraphernalia. Clinton’s former Deputy Chief of Staff George Stephanopoulos called the book a “work of fiction”.
Sorry George, I’m going with, the Clintons had a Christmas rubber tree.
Degenerates ...

I have a copy of Aldrich’s book.

I found it very persuasive in all respects.

You should asks those who promote the analogy of Yeshua’s family as no different than today’s illegal immigrants, if they want our laws on immigration to go back to countries standards of the year Yeshua was born, and what other changes they like to push back to as they were in that era???

To me, any historical comparisons/analogies to the modern wave of immigration fall apart because of the existence of the welfare state. That changes all the previously existing dynamics for people coming to this country.

The other factor that changes it is how economies have changed from being driven primarily by manual/unskilled labor -- where the more people you have, the better -- to a more automatic and machine-driven culture where there simply are not enough jobs for all the people who can offer only manual/unskilled labor

Yes. It’s the exact opposite of illegal aliens.
