“Or Jefferson, Pascal, and Adams all recognized the nature of Loyola’s little liars club.”

Except they weren’t liars. The reason why Protestants (and Pascal was a Jansenist don’t forget) hated the Jesuits is because the Jesuits were so effective. They were highly educated and so good at education that even Protestants chose to have their children educated by them. Anti-Catholicism was a staple of early America, and Protestantism. John Henry Newman, a former Protestant, summed it up best, “To Protestantism False Witness is the principle of propagation.” (John Henry Newman, Lecture 4. True Testimony Insufficient for the Protestant View). Protestantism, like Islam, has to lie about orthodox Christianity to withstand it.

>>Except they weren’t liars.

Their history of casuistry and syncretic accommodation indicates otherwise.

In the present context the “bridge” to the nature abominating “community” is simple: repent and stop subverting the body of Christ with the accommodation of abomination.
