Catholics against Kamala

Vanity - Admin Mod. - remove is necessary

Vanity, please remove if necessary.

As a fellow Catholic, I, too, stand against KH. And stood against Biden.

Any politician who wants to claim the characterization as Christian or Catholic needs to have a record that supports their claims. And that goes for people like Arnold Schwarzenegger as well.

No need to remove it but you will be triggering the hordes of anti-Catholic bigots here on FreeRepublic.

Bring them on! I am not afraid.

No need to remove it but you will be triggering the hordes of anti-Catholic bigots here on FreeRepublic.

Didn’t the Biden FBI release a paper saying the majority of terrorism in the U.S. is caused by Catholics?

Same here. As a Catholic, I stand against Kamala. I haven’t voted for any democrat for president since my first time voting - for Carter. (Hanging head in shame) As Father Altman said “you can’t be a Catholic and vote democrat”.

Watching what is going on with this Queen Kamala Wakanda coronation thingy, I’ve come to the conclusion that she may be boinking Chief Barry Sombrero.

Kamala Harris is a low IQ, DEI drone. She’s the latest in a line of deep-state puppets our neo-marxist praetorian guard have put forward to promote their globalist, statist goals.

She’s not merely anti-Catholic, she’s anti-Human.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’” John 15:18-20

They do not know God the Father.

One can follow and accept the Truth or the ways of the world.

Do democrats, especially the leadership, provide for the best interests of their citizens or for their political power?

1. Do they promote abortion, the killing of children (created by God in His Image) that is contrary to God’s commandments?
2. Do they support open borders that allow criminals, drug dealers, etc that cause crime and serious injury and death to our citizens?
3. Do they suppport Iran, China, Hamas, et al to attack and kill and take hostages in order to get votes?
4. Are they trying to take away America’s resources of independence by trying to eliminate the use of fossil fuels that we need to power electricity, transportation and our way of life and rely on imports from Russia, Iran, etc.?

All of us need to understand the consequences of supporting and voting for democrats. I don’t believe that Kamala follows the truth and will follow whatever the democrats support.

1. Pride of Superiority/Authority:
This is the typical narcissistic, angry, entitled type of pride. Fr. McElhone notes thatpride of authority is manifested by an overbearing, critical, argumentative attitude. He says “pride of authority is mean, unkind, disregarding justice and fair play.” The pridefully superior will often seek to control others and gain outward markers of power and status.

To determine whether pride of superiority has any hold in your soul, ask the following:

-Do I hold myself above others?
-Do I have a superior attitude?
-Am I prone to belittle others?
-Am I inclined to be bossy?
-Do I speak ill of others?
-Do I insist on having the last word?
-Do I have an irritable disposition?

2. Pride of Timidity
Pride of timidity is a type of self-love that ironically manifests as self-hatred. The timidly prideful live in fear of what others may think about them. While it may seem to be the opposite of pride, pride of timidity is actually an inverted form of pride because it is still motivated by a disordered self-love. The key error for those with this kind of pride is an overvaluing of human respect – that is, the opinion of others over the opinion of God.

For those plagued by these feelings, a diagnosis of pride may come as a shock, but truly is freeing because it can be rooted out through restoring a healthy sense of self and relationship to God.

To identify this type of pride:

-Am I easily embarrassed?
-Am I self-conscious?
-Do I compare my talents with those of others?
-Do I exaggerate my weaknesses? Do I hide my talents?
-Am I so afraid of mistakes as to not to try at all?
-Do I stay with the crowd – be it right or wrong?
3. Pride of Sensitivity
This is another type of inverted pride that is quite similar to pride of timidity, and results from self-love being wounded. Fr. McElhone observes: “He makes himself feel bad, he wants to feel bad, he gets a false joy out of it.”

We are reminded of St. Jane Frances de Chantal’s admonition: “Must you continue to be your own cross? No matter which way God leads you, you change everything into bitterness by constantly brooding over everything. For the love of God, replace all this self-scrutiny with a pure and simple glance at God’s goodness.”

To root out this type of pride, ask:

-Am I distrustful?
-Am I ready to accuse others of being unjust or unfair to me?
-Do I misjudge or misinterpret others?
-Am I unable to laugh at myself?
-Am I moody? Do I brood about things?
-Do I carry grudges?
4. Pride of Complacency (Vanity)
Like pride of timidity, vanity is characterized by an excessive desire to gain human respect. But like pride of superiority, it is outward-facing and arrogant. The vain seek to impress others and to be constantly held in high esteem. They are prone to showing off, performing, and are often found in positions of influence where they can maximize attention and self-aggrandizement.

To recognize vanity:

-Am I vain about my talents? My status? My looks?

-Am I anxious to surpass others?

-Do I spend lots of time showing off on social media?

-Do I place high value on social media follows, likes, and attention?

-Do I exclude others for their lack of status, etc.?

-Do I give God due credit for my gifts and abilities?

Humility: the antidote to pride
Just as pride is a lie about oneself, “humility is the truth about oneself.”

It is therefore the universal antidote to all forms of pride.

Humility is simply honesty about our true destiny as beloved children of God. The humble neither overestimate nor underestimate their own talents and faults, but honestly acknowledge and repent of sins and defects, and likewise make use of their talents to give glory to God. By praying for and practicing humility, we can combat sin at its source. Jesus Himself is our ultimate model in humility, and we are given many brilliant examples in the humility of the saints.

While introspection can be painful, we gain edifying graces by pursuing a greater understanding of our own soul.

As we grow in spiritual maturity, we should seek to not only avoid mortal sin, but to root out the tendencies toward sin. By recognizing these sneaky manifestations of pride, we can overcome spiritual barriers and approach a more profound intimacy with God.
