This new doctrine by the church should be seen in the context of the century long effort by The Frankfurt School to undermine and even discredit the institutions which hold Western representative democracies together.

We have seen them attack the family, the role of the father in the family, our educational institution from K through postgraduate universities, our churches now in the Vatican and for years in the national Council Of Churches on the Protestant side, our military, our commitment to the Constitution, our respect for the Founding and Framing Fathers, etc.

Beyond undermining the institutions which will undermine our government and our government's capacity to resist statism and militant Islam, these forces also seek to undermine our capacity to think. This goes beyond undermining our morale, this is an attack on our epistemology. The critical theory is telling us that everything we believe and trust, including the gospel of Christ, cannot be trusted. When we cannot trust our God, when we cannot trust our faith, when we cannot trust anything we believe, our culture and our governing system disintegrate and the path is open to the onrush of socialist nirvana (or statist dystopia).

We are now being told that we cannot make war to defend ourselves, not even a "just" war. The doctrine will be belittled and ignored but the bad seed is planted for a bitter harvest, the attack on our morale begins in this new sphere, the reckoning will come with the next generations.

One correction only: This nonsense is NOT Church doctrine and never will be. As I recall all Catholics and all other Christians with two active brain cells to rub together and a few reading lessons understand that Armageddon, led by Our Savior Himself, will not be a gathering of folk singers from all sides crooning Kumbaya. It will be a verrrry just war and we actually WIN for a change and permanently.

How many here are actually familiar with the Frankfurt School. And yet they should be.

As a Catholic, I apologize for the existence of Bergoglio as pope. He can resign or God knows how to fire him.
