“Know thyself” is the most famous maxim of all philosophy. Having accomplished this goal, I have found it to be a very bad idea.

Allow me to explain my knowledge of myself: I am a machine with a first layer of programming that goes “seek warmth, seek food, seek sex” and a secondary layer of programming that goes “engage in some balance of conflict and socialization.” Trapped within this machine is a “ghost,” which is the core of the above mentioned “self,” which is tortured every second by the programming of the machine it is trapped within, and by the systems of time and matter that the machine is in turn trapped inside.

The soul-self then seeks what? To overcome the restraints of the machine and the systems which restrain the machine. That means seeking immaterial, metaphysical things that exist outside of the programming of the machine, while only having access to the mechanisms of the machine and the systems it exists in. Attempting to do this leads to more advanced systems of torture than one would face if he were to simply ignore the ghost and simply follow along with the programming of the machine.

Time and matter are designed to destroy the machine and are always victorious. Therefore, the soul-self, if engaged, demands that the machine be overcome, because the soul-self does not want to end with the machine.

It might be easy enough to say “Jesus is the answer,” and I believe this. But if the answer was as simple as that, great Christian men in history would have simply embraced Christ and then lived in total peace. However, none of them (or a very remote few) appear to have done that, and instead were tortured by the machines they inhabited and the systems to which the machine is subject. This implies that although “Jesus is the answer” is a truism, “Jesus” is a complex answer. If Jesus were a simple answer, there would be no need for philosophy or theology or anything else, really. I hope that in the last minutes of my life, when the machine is failing in its battle against time and matter, “Jesus is the answer” is a very simple answer, but until the time of my death, it will be a complex matter, and a struggle to understand. In traditional Christianity, this attempt to understand often comes in the form of “pondering the mysteries.” I encourage this practice. In particular, I encourage an obsession with the nearness of death, of the inevitable failure of the machine. This should allow one to partially avoid the fear of the failure of the machine, which will allow one to act in a bolder and more meaningful way.

It should be noted: the ghost, the soul-self, cannot logically be an illusion, some by-product of “evolution,” given that it does not benefit the machine in any way. Without the ghost, the machine would act on the interests of the machine alone, the primary of which is procreation. Arguing against the existence of the soul appears to me to be stupid and ridiculous, and something that no one actually believes because a being with a soul cannot actually stop believing in the mechanism that provides it with self-awareness in the first place. This is without going into the mechanics of atheism, which claim that creatures evolve based on efficiency, and having self-awareness is extremely inefficient and damaging to the survival/procreation mechanism of the machine. No one without a soul could ever commit suicide. No one without a soul could be a childless incel (they would kidnap women and lock them in their basements). “Morality” in the sense of “social norms” exists in animals without souls, but it is much less complex than human morality. As the arguments against the existence of the soul are stupid, I do not need to spend more time on this.

The question is: how do we allow the soul to accomplish its objectives to the greatest extent within the constraints of the machine and the machine’s constraints? This is where the “know thyself” matter becomes applicable in a practical sense.

The first stage must, quite obviously, be overcoming, as best we can, the base functions of the machine. The saints often went into the wilderness for this purpose. This is extreme. But it is probably ideal. The most important thing to remember is that you are never going to fully accomplish the goal. It is impossible. The saints all died fighting a losing battle against the flesh. You too will die, and very soon. Even though it will feel like a very long time. And when you die, you will not have transcended the flesh, but succumbed to it.

What is clear is that Ted Kaczynski was right about technological society sucking people’s souls out of them, and you’re not going to find anything of any importance in this matrix system of urban doom.

King Solomon said that vanity was the core of the fleshy machine self, and thus vanity was what men should seek to overcome. “Vanity” might be better translated as “fleeting mist” or “vapor.” It describes the wants of the flesh. He concluded that the only joy is to eat, drink, and be merry. It was not an endorsement of hedonism, but rather the opposite: a call to disconnect from the bindings of the flesh and exist without pretense. That is, when we find the bright spots of clarity in the misery of existence, we are closest to God. And as Dostoyevsky said, “The darker the night, the brighter the stars.” If you understand life as misery, then the little twinkles of the stars, those times of eating, drinking, and being merry, can let you touch the divine. Or come close.

In the most famous painting ever, Adam’s finger does not touch God’s. He is reaching. But that space will not close in life.

But few seek. Mostly, we are chasing after a fleeting mist. That is what we get up and do every day when we pour ourselves into the hunt for money, women, or in the case of many readers, some kind of political solution to personal problems. None of that is real. I have had sex with women several times. I don’t really remember much of it. It didn’t make me any better. I hit some meme coins and had some money. I didn’t have anything to spend it on. I fought a political war for nearly 15 years. Nothing much came of it. Ah, but something did come of it. Being exiled and isolated from the system, being forced to disconnect from the destructive and hateful culture I was raised in allowed me to see just how ridiculous it is, then compare it to the rest of the societies. There is no one happier than the poor. Not Western poor, not street junkies or trailer park meth heads, or the blacks, but poor cultures, where people don’t have any great and terrible ambition.

Very often, people say, “I want to travel,” and I say, “Why? To what end?” People will typically say they want to “see things,” to which I respond, “It’s all on YouTube.” “Traveling” is something to look forward to for millennials who don’t say “I want to get rich and really respected” like their baby boomer parents. It’s something to look forward to, to distract from the reality that we are always going to be nowhere other than inside of our own heads. If you’re living in a mansion or if you’re getting your dick sucked in a colorful bungalow in Goa, you’re still in your own head, you’re still alone, as you were born alone and will die alone inside of this fleshy prison.

“Traveling” is only interesting in exile. That is the only way it is going to help you figure anything out. The realization that I am no longer “American” in any meaningful sense, and only understand it as an observer, was very important to me. As an observer, I am able to see just how miserable of a hell that existence is, just what a terrible matrix of dehumanization people inhabit in these prison-like cities, searching for sex, money, politics, travel, or some other things that don’t actually satisfy any need of the soul. The flesh has you on a rat wheel.

Millennials and younger often mock boomers for their obsession with sports, while millennials just do politics as if they are sports. There is no real difference, other than that the political obsession is more extreme. Neither actually leads anywhere. Boomers sat in front of the TV watching sports, people younger than them doom-scroll for political conflict. It’s simulated conflict. Sports and politics are simulations of war, engaged in by people who will not see real war.

A real war would probably be good for you. Not a dumb fake war, like the Middle East wars the Americans did. Or, maybe being on the non-American side of one of those wars, like John Walker Lindh.

The cocksuckers who caught him might as well have been watching sports.

But a real war, that would be good for you. Being in a ditch, seeing people get their limbs blown off. It would push you, at least. It would push the limits of the flesh-machine, it would force you to recognize that your body is just a leaky bag of blood and salt, propped up by sticks, and that if that is the “you, you,” then you aren’t much at all.

Probably, the clarity that comes with war is why people crave simulation of it. I don’t mean to romanticize war, as it is the worst thing imaginable, physically. But the worst thing imaginable physically could be the best thing imaginable for the spirit, if the individual experiencing it is able to avoid going insane. Regardless, there is some reason that people seek these simulated versions of war, and apparently find some deep meaning in them, or rather, believe they will eventually find some deep meaning in them.

Having spent more than enough time thinking about politics, I can confirm you will never find any meaning in politics. “Who will rule the concrete and glass prison complex?” might seem like a meaningful question, but it isn’t really. Were people’s lives better under Obama than under Trump? The answer is obviously “yes.” So what is happening? The system is progressing, becoming less human, more of a rat trap for the flesh boxes.

The simple answer is what the Buddha said: “All suffering comes from desire.” Jesus said several things that mean the same thing, though the clarity of the Buddha’s statement is cutting. So that is the point at which a person should start to attempt to understand the self. It was only less than 200 years ago that the overwhelming majority of the human population, including whites, were living on farms, spending most of their time in fields, or relaxing with their families.

Kaczynski gets all the credit for Jaques Ellul’s ideas. I would recommend the Kaczynski book first, because it’s so much easier to read than any of the Ellul books. But if you are a reader, the Ellul books are worth the effort. In English, they are “The Technological Society” and “The Technological System.” (Those are the most important, though it might be better to start with “Propaganda” if you are not used to reading this kind of dense text, which very few people under the age of 60 are used to doing. But yes, the Kaczynski book is a good summary.) These are arguments that no one can really argue with, as they are just obvious, but there isn’t really any solution for the society.

Look. People complain about consumerism. You hear this a lot. But what else are you going to do in a city, other than consume? There is no answer to that. The city is designed for consumption. It is the flesh prison. It is designed as a place to find hedonistic sensual pleasures, which is all consumerism is. And all of the world economies are driven by consumerism, and if you don’t drive consumerism, you cannot compete with other nations, and therefore there is no real third option, other than some kind of ultra-militarized Marxism or fascism, which is possibly the best option for a state. Though that hasn’t worked great for North Korea, at least the state still exists.

The point that I’m going for here is that you are not going to find meaning in any of these worldly things, and as long as you are stuck inside of the system, you are not going to ever really find any meaning, you are going to chase money and pussy. I know that there are a lot of “trad” memes going around and everyone is saying they want a “wife,” but what they are talking about is sex, and that is natural enough, but it’s not going to happen. You’re not going to get a trad wife in a city that is designed for women to max out their fun time, while forcing men to compete for their attention. That is all stuff I’ve written too much about. Everyone should understand it now.

So the desire for “a wife and family” is still a desire and it will drag you. If you get your wife, what is she going to have you doing? Is she going to hoe the garden on your farm? No. No, she is not. Not if she knows the big world exists. She might say she’ll hoe your garden, if she’s in the throes of passion, but she won’t. You would need some kind of situation like in that film The Village. (It’s from the Sixth Sense guy, who always does the “big shocking twist” thing at the end. I won’t spoil it. You probably saw it.)

There is no meaning in striving for any of these things, and we waste our time, which is very limited. There is an essay by Seneca the Younger called “On the Shortness of Life” where he describes the way men work in the city and say that when they’re fifty or sixty (now it’s probably when you’re seventy or eighty), they’ll retire to some farm in nature and relax, but that by this time, their life is already ending, that they are wasting the best years of their lives, the years that should be used to lay the foundation of understanding life and the coming end of it, wasting time striving meaninglessly. He also notes that the wealthier and more powerful you are, the more of your time you end up wasting, and therefore seeking these things is a vicious cycle.

I’m not in a position to advise you as to how you should go about living your life. I made what are in retrospect very extreme decisions. Tucker Carlson can get up on stage and say the Jews run America and face minimal consequences, others are also making much money saying this now, but when I said it, there were very serious consequences. Maybe I should have been able to figure that out. But I was 25 and didn’t give a fuck. This forced me into something I hadn’t ever really planned on. It was for the best, for sure, but it was very extreme.

My situation was so unique that I can’t really tell anyone else how they should go about seeking to escape the matrix. I suppose I could say “just buy some land outside of the city and try to relax, alone.” Land is incredibly cheap in America. I think Americans don’t really understand how cheap it is, compared to really anywhere else in the world. There is good arable land in Mississippi and Arkansas. You could also try to join the Amish. At least with the Amish, you’d have work. I don’t think it would be good to live without work. My work is writing, so it’s much easier for me. You need work. Seneca the Younger was from a wealthy family, he got patronage for his writing, and he was also doing shady money-lending schemes, so it was easy for him to say “just go live on a farm and relax.”

Regardless, it seems some level of rural isolation, maybe with some family and community, is the only clear path in this satanic world. But I don’t have any idea what you want. I am also not enlightened, and cannot guarantee anyone enlightenment, I’m simply on a path to it, and I think I’m probably further along than anyone trapped in an American rat cage.

What I can tell you is that knowing the self, understanding the nature of the soul that is trapped in this machine with all of these desires, is an extremely painful and arduous process, and it is one that you undertake while knowing you won’t actually ever truly finish it.

For me, I want to write more about these sorts of things, as I work through them. I’ve been writing a lot of different stuff since I mostly stopped with the Stormer site, and trying to figure out how to come at it. What I can say is that I no longer care about how many people read it, as I no longer really have a political agenda, as I have concluded that political agendas are futile. I was the best political writer, and as we can see now, the most influential of the century, but I now view that as akin to being the champion of the hot dog eating contest. I would rather be the best at writing something else.

My strong faith in God is in some ways a curse as much as it is a blessing, as there is a large part of me that would have preferred to simply run around the rat cage looking for dopamine hits. The fleshy encasement seeks to avoid suffering, and in order to actually develop the inner self, one has to, like Christ, embrace suffering as the only way out. And then look for those places where you can eat, drink, and be merry.

For me, writing is the only thing that creates an oblivion in my mind, and brings me to my self. That, I see now, is why I continued with the site every day long after I’d concluded that politics were a waste of time in the same way that working to buy a race car or working to get a woman to sleep with you is a waste of time. What I’ve realized since breaking up with you on Valentine’s Day is that I can write every day without publishing every day. I was already writing for myself, as everything I do is inside of my own head, because that is where we always are, from the day we come screaming into this life until the day we succumb to death’s sweet embrace.

The first thing to do is read the Book of John.

People talk a lot about Christianity. They don’t really seem to understand that the first principle of the religion is to “die to the world,” which refers to the denial of the fleshy desires outlined above.

I always hated my life. It was very nice to hear that Jesus said you’re supposed to, and that this is the path to enlightenment and eternal salvation in the life to come.

Saint Paul is more angry and less mystical than Saint John the Apostle, but this material is also very useful.

The concept of being crucified with Christ and living only through the spirit of Christ is something that should be pondered deeply. The true self inside of you is one with Christ, and was linked to Christ when you were born, and it is the desires of the flesh that separate you from this true self, this oneness with Christ. But as stated, it is only through death that one can ever truly escape the flesh prison and become one with Christ. Until then, we are all simply doing our best to prepare for that.

And then there’s Saint Augustine, who said, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.”

This is what one should ask of their life actions: “Is this preparing me for death and unification with the divine creator or not?” I don’t think a life in a city, with all of these cellphones and microwaves everywhere, can possibly be the ideal place to make that happen. In the ultimate sense, you are still just in your head, regardless, so anything is possible, but you need a really good excuse to live in one of these cities, as you are not going to have an easy time escaping desire in a rat matrix designed for the sexual satisfaction of women.

Author’s Note: Much of what I am working on right now is this sort of thing, just less stream-of-consciousness, more structured. It’s difficult work, to try to move toward structure, especially in longer work, and I’m doing a lot of reading to try to get good at it. I am also still working on some loser stuff and some fiction. I’m not promising any dates. Anything is going to be released when it’s done and no sooner. Until then, I’ll post whatever I feel like on here, with no clear schedule.

Oh, Little Baby Didn’t Know Perverts Exist? I Violated Baby’s Moral Purity with a Funny YouTube Clip? https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/03/20/oh-little-baby-didnt-know-perverts-exist-i-violated-babys-moral-purity-with-a-funny-youtube-clip/ Thu, 20 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Since this website is so censored that it no longer has the ability for popular reach, I’ve developed a general rule against “explaining it to the retards.” But with a recent barrage of criticism by the retards, I think there is enough to discuss that will be edifying to non-retards that it is worth responding and explaining why this particular criticism of me is retarded.

I posted the above clip in an article earlier this week commenting on Sam Rockwell’s appearance, which I find impressive for his age. I also noted that the clip is hilarious, with Rockwell talking about how he developed autogynephilia after engaging in rampant sex in Thailand for several years. I lurk in some Telegram channels where people share my articles in order to get an idea of what people think, and found a bunch of people condemning me for posting “degeneracy.”

Firstly, this is the gayest form of virtue signaling, because it is being done by people who claim to oppose virtue signaling. Do people know what “virtue signaling” is? The term is a transparent compound, so you already know what it means assuming you are familiar with the words “virtue” and “signal.” But why do people do it? It is something done by losers and pathetic people who want to feel like they’re better than other people. It is about gaining social status among a group.

This behavior is obviously most popular among women.

But men do it too.

Being in a right-wing group chat and announcing to the world that you are outraged that Anglin would post a clip of someone talking about deviant sexual behavior could only serve the purpose of making yourself feel like you’re a superior person, and the only reason you would do that is because you are a pathetic human being, with nothing else in your life to boost your personal confidence.

It’s possible that a valid response would be: “Anglin shouldn’t be propagating disgusting material like this,” if that is your opinion. It could at least be framed as a valid opinion. I don’t think it is a valid opinion, because we have been buried under tranny propaganda for nearly a decade now, and it has been inescapable for anyone on the internet, so the idea that someone could be seriously shocked by that clip is not believable to me. If I went and showed it to the Amish, I could see that as being gross, but if you’re telling me you’ve been on the internet in the last ten years and were shocked by that clip, then I’m no only calling you a liar, I’m calling you a pathetic human being who lies about his own moral purity for the purpose of making himself feel better about how pathetic he actually is.

But the problem is not that you are pathetic. At least, that is not my problem, and I wish you the best with figuring out some healthier way to boost your self-esteem. The problem is that flooding discussion with this virtue signaling nonsense serves to shut down discussion of topics which might be meaningful (even if the topic is not meaningful, shutting down discussion of it is cancerous behavior). You obviously couldn’t talk about black crime statistics or IQ averages when some woman was screaming at you about how you’re evil if you don’t simply accept that white cops are going around murdering black people because they hate the color of their skin.

Someone who just thinks “oh this clip is talking about gay shit” is going to miss the actual relevance of the thing, and why it is so hilarious. It’s hilarious because it’s subversive, and like much of what is in White Lotus, it’s shocking that it’s allowed on TV given the current social and cultural climate.

The themes in White Lotus are all a scathing indictment of modernity, as well as an analysis of human nature that stands in stark opposition to the liberal orthodoxy. Virtually every theme in the show is in line with a traditional Christian or classical philosophical view of man’s nature. Infidelity, hedonism, pride, the emptiness of the cycle of material desire in general, sexual roles, the indulgences of women, the lust of men, the nature of guilt, repentance, and redemption. There is a lot there, and none of it is stuff that the most of the audience would agree with if presented with it in a straightforward manner.

Part of why the show can get away with this is that they frame it in such an artistic way, nothing is spelled out in the way that would trigger some screeching woman on Twitter. Someone could watch the show, and most people do, and simply see it as yet another visual spectacle like every other one of these streaming shows. Further, it is vulgar, featuring an excessive amount of nudity, which implies that it is embracing rather than criticizing modern norms. The other reason is probably that the writer/director of the series, Mike White, is a homosexual. Regardless of the reasons, however, the show is able to address themes that I don’t recall any popular media having addressed in decades.

The clip in question, where the Sam Rockwell character describes in a frank tone that he spent 1,000 nights having sex with Thai hookers before realizing that what he really wanted was to become a small Asian girl and be fucked by himself is an absolute description, if not an outright indictment, of the overwhelming majority of the tranny movement.

The trans movement has been framed as an identity phenomenon. Sometimes we hear the term “gender dysphoria,” which means that the man feels as though they are trapped in the wrong body, that his soul is actually that of a woman. Though this does exist, and is a legitimate mental disorder, what is not discussed is that if we remove the children who are being manipulated into becoming trannies by the school system, the overwhelming majority of adult men who become trannies have something called “autogynephilia,” which is not an “identity” but a paraphilia (often called a “kink” in modern parlance), a disorder purely related aberrant sexuality. It has nothing to do with identity or some incomprehensible thing about the soul being trapped in the wrong body.

From the abstract of a 2011 peer-reviewed paper on the topic available on NIH:

Autogynephilia is defined as a male’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism. Autogynephilia encompasses sexual arousal with cross-dressing and cross-gender expression that does not involve women’s clothing per se. The concept of autogynephilia defines a typology of MtF transsexualism and offers a theory of motivation for one type of MtF transsexualism. Autogynephilia resembles a sexual orientation in that it involves elements of idealization and attachment as well as erotic desire. Nearly 3% of men in Western countries may experience autogynephilia; its most severe manifestation, MtF transsexualism, is rare but increasing in prevalence.

…

The concept of autogynephilia can assist clinicians in understanding some otherwise puzzling manifestations of nonhomosexual MtF transsexualism. Autogynephilia exemplifies an unusual paraphilic category called ‘erotic target identity inversions’, in which men desire to impersonate or turn their bodies into facsimiles of the persons or things to which they are sexually attracted.

Most people have not even heard about this phenomenon, so for me, the Sam Rockwell bit in White Lotus was quite incredible in its content, as well as being hilarious. The way Rockwell says it all so calmly, as if he is describing the most mundane topic, as Walton Goggins sits there listening is so funny to me. And then that his solution is to become a Buddhist takes it into the realm of the greatest satire vignettes I’m aware of.

The other thing to consider is that the process through which autogynephilia and many other extreme paraphilias is described. Rockwell explains that it was after spending a thousand nights picking up hookers in Thailand that he began to develop the thought that he wanted to become a small Asian girl. This is exactly what happens in real life when men have access to unlimited amounts of sex and choose to engage in it without limits: they increasingly get bored with normal vaginal sex with attractive women and will go into increasingly more bizarre sexual practices. The same thing happens with compulsive pornography use, with the user getting into weirder and weirder material, needing something that he would once have considered disgusting in order to get the same level of stimulation he would have once gotten from “hot blonde gets fucked hard.”

The reason this is all of core relevance to society right now is that unlimited sexual “exploration” is encouraged by the society. It has effectively become a first principle of liberal democracy that all forms of sexual perversion should be embraced and continually expanded on. And the issue is that this all gets very dark, very quickly. A few years ago, the actor Armie Hammer, a handsome celebrity in his mid-thirties who had no doubt experienced a serious amount of normal sex with beautiful women, was canceled because he had apparently gotten into cannibalism. At least, in published texts, he expressed a desire to experiment with it. In 2013, Ian Watkins, the lead singer of a semi-popular British rock band, Lostprophets, again in his mid-thirties having had unlimited access to normal sex with beautiful women, was exposed for having sex with infants.

We you consider how dark this can all get, you can see how an elite with no limits on their sexual behavior could degenerate into the sort of thing we heard about during the “Pizzagate” era of internet activism. I won’t endorse all of the claims of Pizzagate, many of which were obviously untrue, and became increasingly more ridiculous as the “movement” went on, but when you look at human sexuality and the way that unlimited exposure to every kind of sex leads to increasingly bizarre behavior, it would almost be impossible if some of the darkest things imaginable were not happening among our current decadent ruling class here in this gloriously equitable democracy.

This society is very dark, and it might be unfortunate, but these topics need to be discussed freely. Whining moralizing doesn’t make the issues go away. Please disregard those who wish to flood discussions of complex and relevant issue with womanlike moral outrage.

Sunday Sermon: God Isn’t Going to Start Talking to You (Communication with the Divine is a Bit More Complicated) https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/03/16/sunday-sermon-god-isnt-going-to-start-talking-to-you-communication-with-the-divine-is-a-bit-more-complicated/ Sun, 16 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Well, it’s Sunday, and I am on Day 11 of an 8 day fast. My muscles are atrophying, but it doesn’t matter, that will come back before the fat I’ve lost. I’ve lost all the fat. I didn’t really have a lot. I don’t look like an Auschwitz “victim” yet. I also feel slightly confused and dizzy. I heard this Chinaman who is a pro-faster saying that Vietnam soldiers locked up by the Viet Cong were denied food but for some reason given a bunch of books and they were tearing through them and becoming geniuses, learning new languages in mere days. I haven’t ever looked up the book he cited. But I don’t feel like I could learn anything. I wouldn’t even go for a walk at this point.

But I do feel great. Really. All that stuff above makes it sound like I wouldn’t feel good, but I feel totally fantastic.

I’ve decided to push it until 14 days. Nice even number. So I’m almost through. It’s an accomplishment, if nothing else. But after no bowel action, save for the occasional expulsion of bile (the body keeps producing bile, so it just excretes like a small about of diarrhea, but it’s just a clear though slightly brownish liquid). But over the last two days, I’ve been excreting some kind of black ooze. I think all of those new age lunatics might be right, and I’m expelling toxins. So I think these last three days are going to be highly beneficial.

For the record, I’ve seen nothing that looks like worms or any other parasites. Honestly, I think the whole parasite theory went a bit overboard. I think it is real, and i think gays and any heterosexuals engaging in “anal sex” (it’s not sex) probably are crawling with them, and probably a fair amount of people who eat processed food have them, but logically, if you’re healthy (i.e., not eating processed food), a parasite is going to be attacked and killed like any other invader in your body.

The issue with “toxins” is that many are non-organic matter that your body doesn’t know what to do with. Like, there are all kinds of people who were in war or violent incidents who have pieces of shrapnel in their bodies for their whole lives. The body doesn’t try to break that down because it doesn’t recognize it as invasive. There are organic toxins, but heavy metals, PFAS, pesticides/herbicides, VOCs, and various other sorts, mostly petrochemical based, confuse the body. Don’t get me wrong, these will be eliminated naturally without an 11 day fast, to come extent, but they can build up in tissue in ways that organic toxins really can’t (unless you’re constantly consuming them, i.e., if you are a processed-food eater).

When you’re fasting at length, you’re literally just eliminating whatever is around, with the body starving, attempting to go through all of the systems and find things that can be broken down and stripped for molecular materials.

I’m not going to church today. I could well be arrested on the train for public drunkenness, the way I’ve been stumbling around. But I am praying and contemplating spiritual issues.

You know, we’re not supposed to be listening to secular music during Lent. I thought about that when I posted that bizarre Jason Isbell review yesterday. He did mention God pulling him out of the grave his whore wife buried him in the song I wanted to highlight but I don’t think that really counts.

So today I’m just listening to the Doobie Brothers’ Jesus is Just Alright with Me on repeat.

Nb4 “that is still secular music driven by salacious negro voodoo beats.” I know that bro. Please. Please, never say obvious things to me, under any circumstances, ever.

Best I can do is Elvis gospel collection.

I don’t believe Jesus or His Holy Mother could possibly take issue with that.

Unlike the Doobie Brothers, Elvis explicitly excluded vulgar negro jungle rhythms from his gospel music, even whilst he was a master of such rhythms.

I wish Elvis would have been saved by Jesus like he says in these songs. But women, man. They’ll get you. Pricilla was literally the whore Eve, and when she got Elvis kicked out of the Garden all the trees were sprouting delicious narcotic pills. That is the literal analogy.

May Christ have mercy on his soul.

I’ve said it six million times: everything would be perfect in this country if when Richard Nixon resigned he would have simply said: “under one condition… that Elvis Presley be crowned the Absolute Monarch of America.”

Anyway, I wanted to do a spiritual sermon today, for the enrichment of the reader, and address a core issue of importance. Maybe the most important issue, beyond the nature of Christ’s sacrifice, which is the meaning of prayer.

Why do we pray?

Reddit faggots will often say “so why does an all powerful God need people to worship Him? Huh?” Obviously, the answer is that he does not need that. It’s not a particularly difficult question. The reason we worship is for ourselves, to purify our souls, and to bring us closer to the light of God. We worship Him out of thankfulness for making us in His image and for instilling a piece of his divinity within us, and we worship him to strengthen that piece of His divinity that lives within us.

But prayer is about much more than worship, even while, fundamentally, all prayer is a form of worship. We pray thankfulness, we pray forgiveness, and we pray supplication. Probably, most of it is the latter, because we are only human. And asking for protection for our friends and family, for guidance for our leaders, for protection from our enemies, is not selfish.

But there are selfish prayers. Or, “prayers.” I don’t think they are actually prayers. But they are very popular among protestants. Many protestants teach that you can pray and get rich. This is insane and an abomination. Prayers for guidance, prayers for strength, these are supplication, but they are not asking for material things.

You can ask for material blessings, but it must be humble, and framed correctly. Maybe you want a wife. This should be something along the lines of “Lord, if it please thee, send me a wife, and if it doesn’t please thee, give me the strength to live without one.”

There was a phenomenon, primarily among Protestants, of imagining that God is talking to them. George W. Bush used to claim that God was talking to him. Powerful people who make this claim are just cynical charlatans, exploiting the stupidity and gullibility of the peasantry. But if someone actually believes that is happening, they are insane and psychopathic. God is not talking to you. That is not something that happens.

Even in the Bible, when it talks about God talking to the prophets, it doesn’t mean it literally, save for in a very few cases, such as Moses and the burning bush. In general, the prophets were extremely wise and enlightened, and therefore existed in balance with the will of God and therefore understand his purposes. In some cases, they were spoken to in dreams.

But in general, we should understand that although Christianity is a religion that includes miracles, some of them fundamental, in general, it is not a religion of magic, the defiance of the laws of physics. Miracles, as they exist in the world today, generally involve statistical impossibility. But that isn’t really magic, because probability is not a science.

If you’ve ever been to a casino, you’ve seen someone “hot,” just totally violating the understanding we have of random chance. Being hot at the craps table is not a miracle from Heaven, but it is something we can look at and see that probability is not actually random.

It’s actually a scientific mystery, as random number generators prove.

From Algorithm Design Manual:

Unfortunately, generating random numbers looks a lot easier than it really is. Indeed, it is fundamentally impossible to produce truly random numbers on any deterministic device. Von Neumann [Neu63] said it best: “Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.” The best we can hope for are pseudo-random numbers, a stream of numbers that appear as if they were generated randomly.

There is a lot of weird information about RNG machines producing patterns constantly, which you can also look into if you’re interested.

So, the type of miracle you will experience, and the type of answer you get to a prayer in the real world, is going to be based on events happening that appear to be statistically impossible. If you are praying for a wife, you get into a car accident that is completely not your fault based on a faulty traffic light, get out to speak to the person you crashed into, and you end up marrying her. Things like this happen all the time, or they used to, when we were a religious society. Because we are not a religious society, we are mostly just floating through a meaningless void of random horrors, like we’re all trapped in an endless Cormac McCarthy novel.

Everything that happens is the Will of God, and anything can happen. So then what is the most important thing we should ask for from God?

It’s what King Solomon asked for: wisdom.

Wisdom gives us the ability to understand the meaning of the events that happen in our lives, and to respond to them in a way that serves God (and therefore ourselves and everyone else on earth).

Of course, we should always do the right and moral thing, which we all know. We should not steal or fornicate, or lie or trick people, and so on. We should not become fat. But most decisions we make in life are not explicitly moral decisions. If we go back to the example of wanting a wife (which seems to be a pretty relevant issue among the Daily Stormer readership), whether or not to pursue a specific woman is not a moral decision. Unless you’re already married (or she is) there is no moral content to the question of whether or not you should be going after her. Answering that question would require wisdom.

Obviously, wisdom is linked to understanding. If the woman has blue hair and piercing and is manic and deranged, you should have an understanding that this is not worth pursuing, regardless of what your dick may be telling you. You’re not going to marry her, so you’re thinking about fornication, and then she will likely ruin your life. And even if she doesn’t, nothing of value will have been gained, and you will have committed a mortal sin you will have to confess and repent of. That is all just obvious.

But wisdom also relates to intuition, which we all have, and which we all know we have. Sometimes, something just feels right or wrong. Sometimes, you can have a sense of certainty that something is right, even though you have no logical reason to believe that, necessarily. Of course, that sense could be coming from your own ego, and be completely meaningless. However, if you pray for wisdom, it is my strong belief – and in fact, I will just say it is a fact – that your sense of intuition is going to become much more fine tuned, as you will be more connected with the spirit of God within you, and guided to make correct decisions, through this intuitive sense.

I have often mentioned Rupert Sheldrake, and I think everyone needs to read him and look at the data he has compiled on human intuition and other “psychic” phenomenon. The masterwork probably (or at least my favorite) is “Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home.” He has all these studies that are simply undeniable that psychic phenomenon absolutely does exist.

Here he is commenting on the titular dogs:

There are also human studies that are equally scientific and equally impeccable in their methodology and could be repeated by anyone. No one wants to try to repeat them, because science if literally fake. It telepathy exists, it disproves the entire theology of nihilistic atheism that is the reigning doctrine of our Jew-riddled society. People call it a “Jewocracy,” but you could call it an “Atheist Theocracy.”

Because so few scientists want to examine these phenomenon, the data is limited, but Sheldrake has put enough out there to make it undeniable that it is real and anyone who says it isn’t is just a lying kike.

What I assert is that this psychic world is the spiritual world, and that we are all fundamentally connected to it, and the strength of our connection to it is based on our connection to God. Sheldrake is an Anglican, but he’s also a bit obsessed with keeping his work in the realm of science. What I would like to see is some of the psychic tests done on highly religious people against atheists, and see how the psychic abilities of the two groups compare. I already know what the answer would be, but I would love to see the studies performed. But he doesn’t want to be dismissed as a religious kook, so he is mostly private about his religious beliefs, at least in relation to his work.

But I will tell you, dear brother, as a matter of fact, if you engage in regular prayer and other spiritual practices, regular church attendance, confession, the Eucharist, and now I’m full-in on fasting (though you don’t have to go two weeks), you will gain wisdom and that will include a more refined ability to intuitively understand situations through these “psychic” abilities that we all have.

Finally, I just want to say: what you want might be the same as what God wants for you, but a lot of times it’s not going to be. Obviously, God is right, and you are wrong. Wisdom should allow you to line these things up, to make it so you want what God wants for you, because you understand He wants what’s best for you, and He is going to guide you to that, and take care of you on the way.

He is Risen.

Pope Tells Young People in the Ukraine to Forgive Russia https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/02/08/pope-tells-young-people-in-the-ukraine-to-forgive-russia/ Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Finally, the Pope says something I actually agree with.

Hopefully, he doesn’t ruin it by following it up with “you can join gay relationships with the Russians, and you can all become trannies together.”

RT:

Pope Francis has urged young Ukrainians to exercise forgiveness in the face of the country’s conflict with Russia, despite all the suffering and destruction that has ensued. The leader of the Catholic church has previously drawn sharp rebukes from Kiev for calling on the Ukrainian leadership to negotiate peace with Moscow.

Speaking via video link during a Q&A session with Ukrainian youth in and outside the country last Saturday, the Pope said it was important to resist the urge to “respond to a punch with another punch.”

“Forgiveness is one of the hardest things. It is difficult for everyone, even for me,” he expounded, urging the listeners to “keep moving forward and always forgive.”

According to the pontiff, “life today is devalued. Money and war positions are given more importance than human life itself.”

Pope Francis suggested that the “remedy is dialogue… even with those who oppose us.”

“Please, never grow tired of dialogue,” the pope added.

I don’t totally agree with it, because the Russians don’t need to be forgiven, because they literally did nothing wrong.

But the general sentiment, that the country needs to move on from this psychopathic hatred of their countrymen (who they’ve been convinced are not their countrymen by stupid American propaganda), is a good message for the youth.

Trump Announces Pro-Christian Task Force and “Faith Office” Led by Heretical Woman https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/02/07/trump-announces-pro-christian-task-force-and-faith-office-led-by-heretical-woman/ Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Pres. Trump said he will sign an executive order to appoint Attorney General Pam Bondi as the head of an anti-Christian bias task force, which will aim to “halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government.” https://t.co/XKgxOUVEqO pic.twitter.com/zOZ7XIsWXX

— ABC News (@ABC) February 6, 2025

The Jews are back to pushing their evangelical boomer scam to promote war in the Middle East.

This is another part of that particular program.

Pam Bondi (real name, apparently) is going to be pushing for mass censorship of Israel criticism and then saying it’s the Christian thing to do.

Pure heresy.

AP:

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to root out “anti-Christian bias” in the U.S., announcing that he was forming a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the “targeting” of Christians.

Speaking at a pair of events in Washington surrounding the the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump said the task force would be directed to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI — terrible — and other agencies.”

Trump said Bondi would also work to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”

Hours after the two events, Trump signed an executive order directing the new task force to identify unlawful policies, practices, or conduct by all executive departments and agencies, and recommend any additional presidential or legislative action.

Early in the day, the president joined the National Prayer Breakfast at the Capitol, a more than 70-year-old Washington tradition that brings together a bipartisan group of lawmakers for fellowship. He told lawmakers there that his relationship with religion had “changed” after a pair of failed assassination attempts last year and urged Americans to “bring God back” into their lives.

An hour after calling for “unity” on Capitol Hill, though, Trump struck a more partisan tone at the second event across town, announcing that, in addition to the task force, he was forming a commission on religious liberty. He criticized the Biden administration for “persecution” of believers for prosecuting anti-abortion advocates.

Trump also announced the creation of a White House faith office led by Paula White-Cain, a longtime pastor in the independent charismatic world. An early supporter of Trump’s 2016 presidency bid, she led Trump’s Faith and Opportunity Initiative in 2019, advising faith-based organizations on ways to partner with the federal government.

At Thursday’s prayer breakfast, she praised Trump as “the greatest champion” any president has been “of religion, of faith and of God.”

She’s the religious advisor “that he appears to trust the most,” said Matthew Taylor, a Protestant scholar and author of “The Violent Take It By Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy,” a 2024 book about the roles of White-Cain and other charismatic leaders who have been among Trump’s most fervent supporters.

Some people are calling this out.

If there was going to be a “Christianity Czar,” it should have been Mel Gibson.

Top wokester “Pope Francis” is joining the chorus of condemnation against DeepSeek AI, without saying it outright.

You cannot regulate so-called “fake news” (most of which is true) without a massive censorship apparatus.

The Pope is obviously constantly condemning alleged fake news because he doesn’t want people to find out about his pederastic behaviors, which are well-known.

RT:

The global center of Catholicism has issued a stark warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence technology, cautioning that its misuse could destabilize society and calling for its responsible development.

In a just-released document titled Antiqua et nova, the Vatican examines the relationship between human and machine intelligence, warning that deceptive digital content could “gradually undermine the foundations of society.”

Concerns are raised about the ability of advanced systems to generate manipulated media that closely resembles reality. The document warns that misinformation, even when spread unintentionally, can fuel political polarization and social unrest. “This issue requires careful regulation, as misinformation–especially through AI-controlled or influenced media–can spread unintentionally,” it states.

…

The Vatican also called on governments and international organizations to implement safeguards against misuse of technology, adding that it must serve humanity and not replace human intelligence.

It can’t “replace human intelligence.” That is not within the realm of possibility, unless it was able to get information from non-humans, which it cannot do, because there is no intelligent non-human being in the galaxy.

Episcopalian “Female Bishop” Begs Donald Trump Not to Murder So-Called “Child Faggots” https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/01/22/episcopalian-female-bishop-demands-donald-trump-have-mercy-on-so-called-child-faggots/ Wed, 22 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Previously: Trump Rolls Back “Racial Equity” and Tranny Rights

The biggest source of faggotry on earth is now the Christian churches.

This situation is totally intolerable.

How was this allowed to happen?

Why are there “female bishops”? What does that even mean?

Primarily, normal people left the church.

It is a complete mess and it cannot be allowed.

The Guardian:

In an inaugural prayer service sermon, the Episcopal bishop of Washington appealed directly to Donald Trump to “have mercy upon” communities across the country targeted by the new administration’s immigration and LGBTQ+ policies.

Speaking from the pulpit at the Washington national cathedral, the Right Rev Mariann Budde delivered her sermon – and an impassioned plea – as Trump sat stone-faced in the front row, alongside Melania Trump and JD Vance. Asked later about the service, Trump told reporters it was “not too exciting”.

“I didn’t think it was a good service, no,” he said as he walked into the White House on Tuesday. “They could do much better.”

The sermon was part of a larger interfaith prayer service, a post-inauguration day tradition hosted by the Washington national cathedral and attended by presidents of both parties at the start of their term. Tuesday morning’s service was filled with blessing and prayers for the success of the new administration, but took a sharper, more political turn when Budde rose to deliver the homily.

Mariann Budde

Budde’s sermon amounted to a bold public criticism of the new president, who spent his first hours in office signing executive orders rolling back Biden-era protections for transgender Americans and laying the groundwork to carry out his promise of mass deportations. One executive order directed the federal government to recognize only “two sexes – male and female” while his immigration directives moved to dismantle birthright citizenship, send troops to the southern border and suspend the US refugee admissions program.

“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in both Democratic, Republican and independent families who fear for their lives,” Budde said, asking his administration to show compassion.

“Fear for their lives”?

Are we not done with these sorts of hysterics?

I think it would be a very good thing if the US government began executing homosexuals. However, the suggestion that this would actually happen in real life is totally insane. Well, at least under Donald Trump.

All he is doing is rolling back some of this extreme “child fucker” stuff to 2015 norms. Maybe not even that far back, but maybe that far back. But definitely no further than that.

You’ll remember, hopefully, that it’s only very recently that people started being allowed to talk about children being homosexuals, and this was clearly a pederast agenda to sodomize small boys legally.

Pope Faggot, An Open Borders Extremist, Enacts Extreme Border Law at the Vatican https://www.anglinarchive.com/2025/01/18/pope-faggot-an-open-borders-extremist-enacts-extreme-border-law-at-the-vatican/ Sat, 18 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Pope Francis is the first openly homosexual Pope. He has normalized so-called “butthole marriage” in the Church. He says it’s not really butthole marriage, it just looks like that, but he’s done it.

He’s pushing for woman priests as well.

He brings brigades of trannies into the Vatican to… I don’t know what they are supposed to be doing, but he brings them in. He invites them to lunch.

He does every bad thing you can even think of. He’s basically completely destroyed the religion, and Mel Gibson is right.

Perhaps the thing he is most obsessed with, however, is flooding white countries with foreigners.

But he’s very strict about his own area!

European Conservative:

While Pope Francis in his media appearances is constantly urging Catholics to open their arms ever wider to migrants, the Vatican papal state has just issued a decree to drastically protect its borders.

As is the case every twenty-five years, 2025 will be a jubilee year for the Catholic Church, which means that huge numbers of pilgrims will flock to Rome for the occasion. A few days before Christmas, the Vatican issued a highly restrictive decree designed to impose severe penalties on anyone attempting to enter the world’s smallest state illegally. The existence of this decree was only revealed by the Italian press on January 12th.

The sovereign state of the Vatican was created by the 1929 Lateran Agreement between Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI. Putting an end to the ‘Roman question,’ i.e., the gradual disappearance of the Pope’s temporal power in Italy during the process of unification of modern Italy, these agreements established an independent territory of 44 hectares in the city of Rome, over which the Pope has sole sovereignty. The rules for entering and leaving this territory are precise and restrictive, and the decree of December 2024 reinforces them even further.

The new decree targets “anyone who enters the territory of the State of Vatican City by violence, threat or deception,” i.e., by avoiding or evading security systems. Violation is punishable by one to four years imprisonment and a fine of between €10,000 and €25,000.

Aggravating circumstances include if the offence is committed using firearms, if the person seeks to disguise his or her identity, or if the intrusion is made by a group of people. Another aggravating factor is when an individual enters the state’s territory at the wheel of a vehicle, forcing a border checkpoint.

Vatican justice is no joke. Any offender caught in the act will be able to appear in court the day after the arrest. Convictions will be accompanied by a ten-year ban on entering Vatican territory.

When I visited the Vatican, you could just walk in.

But apparently now if you try to do that they will put you in one of the Pope’s sickening gay dungeons which are like out of Pulp Fiction.

You should have known how bad this was going to get when God sent a crow AND a seagull to attack the fake Pope’s peace doves.

There is going to have to be a schism in the Church and Mel Gibson is going to have to lead it because no one else can.

Aw, jeez.

Now they’re going after the blacks for being too hard on grimy sluts.

Where will it end?

WBLS:

A teenage girl was recently compelled to publicly apologize for her pregnancy at True Vine Apostolic Church in Hampton, Virginia. The incident, captured on video and shared widely online, has drawn sharp criticism and prompted broader discussions about shame and accountability within religious communities.

The video, originally posted by journalist Jemele Hill, shows the visibly emotional girl standing before the congregation. “I want to apologize to everybody in here because I am pregnant,” she says tearfully. “I’m sorry y’all. I just hope that y’all all forgive me.” After her remarks, the congregation applauded, and she requested prayers as she stepped away from the podium.

The church’s pastor, Bishop Terry Jackson, then addressed the congregation, making his position clear. “If you sin, you don’t wait till the baby come to repent,” he said. “We ain’t gon’ condone your sin now… Ain’t no baby showers going on. That’s what you lose out on.” Bishop Jackson emphasized the importance of repentance and stated that no member of the church should attend a baby shower for a child born out of wedlock.

Reactions to the video have been mixed, with many expressing support for the teenage girl and condemning the church’s actions. Television personality Sunny Hostin offered her support, writing, “I will host the baby shower. Pls contact me sweetheart. Your baby will be celebrated and loved.”

However, a woman identifying herself as the girl’s grandmother, Dee Myles, defended the church’s approach. In a Facebook comment shared by The Neighborhood Talk, Myles wrote, “We were not forced or manipulated to stand before the congregation. My daughter willingly approached the congregation and was welcomed and embraced with open arms.” Myles also expressed frustration over the public backlash, stating, “You all are interrupting my peace and causing more damage than good.”

Is anyone allowed to say anything?

The government is literally creating a situation where the only thing you are allowed to do is repeat things the government says, or say things that are more extreme than what the government says in order to justify the government becoming more extreme.

I mean, apparently that is being rolled back a bit now, with Trump in the government and these companies saying they’re going to roll back censorship. But it’s going to be a one step forward two steps back situation.

What is even the point of humans existing if they are not allowed to have opinions?

Even the blacks can’t have opinions.

Unless they support the narrative.

Unfortunately, there are also apparently black white knights.

Or maybe that’s her uncle, I don’t know.

Robert McElroy

The Faggot Pope has a Faggot Agenda and it is getting worse and worse.

These people should all be in prison.

The Faggot Pope is trying to harass Donald Trump with a homo.

The Guardian:

When the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, sought to shut down a Catholic charity that was was providing shelter and aid to undocumented migrants at the border, the San Diego cardinal, Robert McElroy, took a robust public stand against the attempt.

“The state of Texas is using governmental pressure to curtail the work of the Church in one of its most fundamental obligations: to feed the hungry, to shelter the homeless, and to provide drink to the thirsty,” McElroy said in a statement at the time. “No government can morally tell us to abandon or limit this mission.”

Last week, as billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg adopted policies that seemed designed to ingratiate themselves with the incoming Trump administration, Pope Francis took a different tack when he tapped the Harvard and Stanford-educated McElroy to the role of archbishop of Washington DC – one of the most high-profile positions in the US Catholic church.

It followed Donald Trump’s own announcement that he was appointing Brian Burch, a rightwing political activist and critic of Francis who heads CatholicVote, a conservative advocacy group, to the role of US ambassador to the Vatican. In his statement, Trump claimed that Burch had helped deliver him more Catholic votes than any other presidential candidate.

Both allies and critics of Francis say the appointments set the stage for conflict between the Vatican and Trump’s Washington, at a time when rightwing and far-right Catholics – from Leonard Leo to Steve Bannon – wield significant influence in the US capital. It was noted, too, that Francis chose 6 January, the anniversary of the Trump-inspired insurrection on the Capitol, to make the announcement.

“McElroy is incredibly polished intellectually. He is a thinker. He is a quiet man and he can say the strongest things against a certain kind of immigration policy with a soft voice. He’s courageous,” said Massimo Faggioli, professor of theology and religious studies, who noted that McElvoy was one of closest officials to Francis in North America.

“He is Francis’s voice in many ways, and being in Washington DC elevates his voice. It is the place where power is brokered, and not just at the White House. In the Congress and the supreme court,” Faggioli added.

Those corridors of power have increasingly been influenced by rightwing Catholics who are opposed to Francis’s agenda. The most prominent politicians who support him are losing influence and power, from the outgoing president Joe Biden to the former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Both are devout Catholics.

Yeah, they’re not Catholics.

Neither is the Pope.

This is a joke.

Steve Bannon, the Christian nationalist Trump adviser, who is also Catholic, said Francis’s choice of McElroy showed he was on a “collision course” with the incoming White House over one of Trump’s main agenda items.

“The whole process of deportations will begin when President Trump takes his hand off the King James Bible,” Bannon told the Guardian. “Immediately you are going to have the Vatican, through their cardinal, trying to confront this.

…

Bannon is not the only Maga hardliner to show contempt for church practices. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has previously said that Satan was “controlling the church” and has repeated rightwing claims that Catholic charities are being enriched by US government contracts to help migrants.

In his first press conference last Monday, McElroy said a “wider, indiscriminate, massive deportation across the country would be incompatible with Catholic doctrine”.

Mel Gibson should be the Pope.

I’m serious.
