      Your position and worldview is enmeshed with the worst of this problem and helps exacerbate it, and is plagued by these issues, especially with grooming and the Dillamonkey to Bill Nye espousing of the woke narrative. You ought to have them wake up to secular involvement in the churches: from Operation Gladio infiltrating the Catholic Church through sexual blackmail pushing both liberation theology and facism in the Ukraine ratlines to drug wars in a managed dialectic to the globalist pope today and yesterday's "trad" pope writing The Dialectics of Secularization with Jurgen Habermas. Left wing Paul Williams has written a heavily sourced academic text on it as has trad Catholic David Wemhof trying to clean his own house and neocon cold warrior Daniele Ganser in NATO's Secret Armies Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe, which is a book used by geopolitical majors who want to be Henry Kissinger/Klaus Schwab Junior.
      The paper Blowback of The Gods by James Wallace details the secular CIA and media boosting of Billy Graham to support the installation of Israel and cold war policy in Vietnam. This same Vatican model and blackmail was also used in Iran with the Epstien/Jimmy Saville playbook that infests our secular government and a large body of new atheists Pinker, Dennet, Hawkings, Kraus, Edge Foundation. It is quite clear in Prince/King Charles Temenos Academy, the CIA pumping New Age, the theosophy and Luciferianism at the UN etc.
      The Divinity Schools in America were also heavily infiltrated by the state and funding from people such as the Rockefeller's who explicitly write in their books and autobiographies that they did this for internationalism, Edith Rockefeller's radical feminist Jungianism (while Jung worked with Allan Dulles), to Time Life and the Luce Foudation as well as the Jesuit school pushing secular theology and wokism from Fordham as the pope is a globalist pope.
      You can see the rampant grooming, secular calls to violate family rights over "gender affirming care", what goes down all pride month that Dillahuntey champions, Dave Rubin Surrogacy that will statistically lead to more of these problems, Richard Dawkins giving evolutionary sanction to the ancient aliens mythology and "mild c3pdflia."
      This doesn't even get into how this plays out in geopolitics and warfare with Cold War involvement in religion, the mass migrant crisis' it creates while Fabian socialists who favor Islam to break down Christianity have had in their writings and policies put in play the source of Islam spreading through Europe, in tandem with the Theosophical Sufism that founded the UN. This is in a SEMI managed strategy of tension with the support of Israel playing into conflicts over oil while pumping the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Sadaam, The Taliban, HAMAS, and Hezbollah for asymmetrical warfare. This also has to do with the critical work of Anthony Sutton as well as CFR archivist Carol Quigley who from opposing positions document the exporting of communism to Russia and funding of Lenin and Trotsky as well as Hitler prior to his nationalizing the banks and turning on the West.
      This involves secular interference with the Orthodox Church as well through Constantinople and is a part of this war in Ukraine, as is the need to protect the elites and secular religion of the Great Reset from populism and continued access to energy and trade from Russia. This is why Zelensky, who legalized pron as his country crumbles in keeping with the case E Michael Jones documents of Americanist exportation of degeneracy as a weapon, has had a false Western church sown in Ukraine that will end in the same place as the Vatican and Church of England.
      As atheist materialism dead ends and you fail to make churches and build communities your people will feed into these captured churches as a social club. Your ideas are pumped, blackmailed and funded by men with Babylonian Temple blackmail islands, DIAMAT quantum mystics at Darpa and have employed and worked with people like Michael Aqeeno, Dr. Lilly, L Ron Hubbard, Jim Jones, Jack Parsons, Bertrand Russel, H.P. Blavatsky, Annie Bousant, Arthur C Clark, Albert Pike, HG Wells, CG Jung, and Aliester Crowley. You also are quite willing to set the world on fire and interfere in religions and morals the world over on a gambit that your religion of ending religion will bring world peace, as you plunge us into war and back the releasers of global bioweapons. This is the most glaring of contradictions and the gamble of madmen. If you ever were forced to engage these points outside controlled neocon opposition like Murray or New Age Peterson with any visibility your view would crumble just as it does on the philosophical and phenomenological fronts. Which is why it is heavily protected with your opponents curated. At some point when faced with this you must actively engage in dishonesty.

    If our technology is not in perfect balance with our creation any imperfections in our technology can eventually unbalance our own creation. Where do we find our perfect balance that brings us all together in peace? The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not overcome it. My prayer is that the deeper reflections of the Bosom of Abraham will be revealed deeply within the Sacred Heart of the Virgin Mary. ❤ ❤ ❤
    The Narrative: Meritocracy is the notion of a political system in which economic goods or political power are vested in individual people based on ability and talent. However, the Meritocracy has somehow become conflated with Plutocracy. The Roman Empire was considered a form of plutocracy in which a Senate consisting of the wealthy aristocracy had the power to elect local administration officials and propose new policies.
    Plato regarded democracy as little more than mob rule by another name-perhaps without the violence, at least at first. The distributism model of G.K. Chesterton that awakens reciprocal financial benefits along ALL PEOPLE is the only authentic democracy:, American Indian, Asian, Australian, European, Indian, Melanesian, Micronesian & Polynesian.
    Unlike socialism, which advocates state ownership of property and the means of production, distributism seeks to devolve or widely distribute that control to individuals (FAMILIES) within society, rejecting what it saw as the twin evils of plutocracy and bureaucracy.
    Capitalism advocates 'corporate ownership' of property and the means of production - destroys families.

    Socialism advocates 'state ownership' of property and the means of production - destroys families.

    Distributism advocates 'family ownership' of property and the means of production - UNITES FAMILIES
    If we read the parable of the sower in Matthew 13 we read that Jesus said a farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up - Anarchy.

    Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root - State Ownership.
    Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants - Corporate Ownership.
    Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop-a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown - Family Ownership.
    Whoever has ears, let them hear.
    Anarchism advocates ‘no ownership’ of property and the means of production.
    Socialism advocates 'state ownership' of property and the means of production.
    Capitalism advocates 'corporate ownership' of property and the means of production.
    Distributism advocates 'family ownership' of property and the means of production.
    “The family that prays together stays together.” - Father Peyton - The Rosary Priest
    All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. -- Acts 4:32-35

    I don’t understand why anyone would think that religious people are more morally upright. Church leaders know their religious books better than anyone, they pray for everyone everyday. They attend church meetings. Yet there are thousands of religious leaders charged with indecent behavior, usually involving innocent young people.
    Atheists may be charged with crimes as well, but they’re not claiming that everyone should be an atheist because you’re a more decent human being.

      Plenty of atheists claim that they are better people, where have you been? Plenty of them are egomaniacs who think the only reason they aren't religious is because they are somehow smarter and better than those who are. Meanwhile, atheistic communist regimes were responsible for the most mass murder in the 20th century and heathen religions,which are bereft of the knowledge of God and worship demons instead, often hinged on mass murder in the form of large-scale human sacrifice. So much for being better than Christians.

    Douglas was and still is 20 years out of date on this. When he visited here in 2000, the power and influence of the Catholic Church in Ireland was already well gone. It has spent the past 20 years thoroughly purging itself of those crimes, as anyone who looks honestly can see. What some Irish Catholics are 'waking up' to at the moment is that aggressive secularism doesn't answer many of the deep questions of the human heart that Catholic faith used to. Irish elite culture having gone "full Canada" now finds itself in a confusing void. The only answer the political, academic and media elites have come up with to this problem so far is to double down on aggressive secularism. But yes, some Irish Catholics are waking up....

      No doubt the sudden exit from faith leaves a gap, I just hope people don't run back to it because they're scared. No doubt modern culture could take much of value from the moral beliefs of our religious past, but going back to it wholesale isn't the answer, it was dropped for good reasons. We need to carefully think about what we believe and why.

    The problem is that the fact that pedophiles exist in the church is not a criticism of the church so much as it is an illustration of human nature and the desire to hide our improprieties with subterfuge. As religion has become less popular, you had the rise of secular public schools and if you want to look up the amount of sexual abuse that goes on in those places I'll give you a moment. But my only question is do you believe that public schools produce pedophiles in the same way that the Catholic church does?

    the catholic church in ireland is on its last legs at the moment. People still have faith sure, but the institution of the catholic church is dying, and its hard to see it surviving another 20 years. People arent joining the preisthood, convents are being given to the state to be reused for other purposes. The franciscan friary in my hometown closed down recently due to it basically being an old folks home by now and dioceses are losing bishops and have to be reshuffled due to such a low number of priests and most preists these days are 65+
    This is due to a lot of issues. Clerical abuse scandals, such as christain brothers abusing young boys, that the church covered up, abuse of pregnant women , that the church covered up, the tuam mother baby homes is a massive stain on the institution, selling off other people children because they were had out of wedlock and so on. Its hard to have faith in the institution when its being so corrupt, but still sees itself as moral guardian, and protectors of the faith. And then they opposed every bit of social progress for the last hundred years. Contraceptives, divorce, gay marraige, abortion , and the abortion issue wreaked havoc on peoples lives for decades as well.
    Its currently in a tailspin but has no way to pull out. I suppose its a case of power corrupts. They were given near unlimited power in the country for nearly 100 years and they abused it and now people dont see it as the force for good they claimed themselves to be

      We were nothing before we were born,and nothing after we die. I am an atheist and very happy. It shouldn't be up to a church to give you moral values, that is the job of parents. Bring your child up not to lie not to steal And "do unto others as they would like others to do unto them "result Happiness

    I have a different view of the loss of Catholic faith in Ireland. Certainly, the sexual predations by priests and religious and the cover ups by Bishops was a major cause, the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. But these same crimes occurred in the "old days" as well. I know this from the personal testimony of victims. I knew of sisters who said the parish priest came to their house after their Mother had died, and took them into a room to by-the-way examine their bodies to ensure they were virgins. None of them renounced the faith or left the Church. They recognized that that there were some priests and even bishops who were bad and weak. I heard a saying in Ireland about such priests: "they were fulfilling their Mother's vocation". In other words, they really did not have a vocation at all, and perhaps had a worldly agenda they wanted to bring into the Church. Moreover, the formation of Catholics became very weak and naturally religious, meaning we prayed and performed devotions and made sacrifices to do our will and not God's will. Masses were really fast, to accommodate the "faithful's" desire to get on with their day. It wasn't uncommon to hear someone say they "got Mass", as if it was just an obligation they got out of the way, and not a life-giving sacrament. So, I think the root of the problem is a loss of faith, a crisis of faith, aided and abetted by too many clergy who had worldly formations which they passed on to the faithful, who had little to fall back on while facing the idols and temptations of the world. One final point. Most people who abandon of were never introduced to religion turn to paganism and "new religions" rather than becoming atheists, as we are all naturally religious. This is explained in a book called "Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World" by Tara Isabella Burton.

    It wasn’t the Church that failed but those entrusted with its stewardship. These people were just evil… under Satan’s spell. They’ll be dealt with in due course. The underlying faith is directly from God. These two guys are just smug posers describing a new religion … without knowing that they are. Pray for these two.

    This would be the first time Douglas Murray has shown he is capable of low resolution thinking. The way he gleefully makes remarks about priests being with rent boys is disingenuous. Considering there is a sizeable segment of his community that are all for boy love.............. yeah, not his best work.

    Whether atheists want to believe it or not, democracy is not only built on Christian ideals , but depends on them. Man is endowed with his inalienable rights either by God or by man or, in other words, the state. If it’s by God then man cannot take those rights away, but if it’s by the state, then the state can do so whenever it pleases. Just as kings once claimed divine right came from God, we all claim the source of rights and freedoms come from God. It is no accident that western democracies are under assault from within along with the decline of Christianity and its influence.

    My parents were young adult immigrantsfrom Ireland to the USA NYC in the 1920s. Devout Catholics but ... Mother liked to say: "In ireland we did not go to the priests, we went around the priests. Stay away from priests. Be skeptical of anything they have to say." ... Father: Priest are wonderful people, wonderful, the best. Just one thing. Don't listen to them when they talk s
    about politics or religion." ... I could give more quite from two uncles. The seeds of rejecting the nastiness of the Irish Catholic church were there long before recent times. We were sent to Catholic schools, which were were rather progressive for their times. But we were armed armed against having to agree with what "the church" had to say.
