Chesterton’s Fence

It’s amazing to me that almost all sites that make reference to the concept fail to mention that G.K. Chesterton was Catholic.

“Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.”

The lesson of Chesterton’s Fence is what already exists likely serves purposes that are not immediately obvious.

Fences don’t appear by accident. They are built by people who planned them and had a reason to believe they would benefit someone. Before we take an ax to a fence, we must first understand the reason behind its existence. 

The original reason might not have been a good one, and even if it was, things might have changed, but we need to be aware of it. Otherwise, we risk unleashing unintended consequences that spread like ripples on a pond, causing damage for years.

Elsewhere, in his essay collection Heretics, Chesterton makes a similar point, detailed here:

Suppose that a great commotion arises in the street about something, let us say a lamp-post, which many influential persons desire to pull down. A grey-clad monk, who is the spirit of the Middle Ages, is approached upon the matter, and begins to say, in the arid manner of the Schoolmen, “Let us first of all consider, my brethren, the value of Light. If Light be in itself good—” At this point he is somewhat excusably knocked down. All the people make a rush for the lamp-post, the lamp-post is down in ten minutes, and they go about congratulating each other on their un-mediaeval practicality. But as things go on they do not work out so easily. Some people have pulled the lamp-post down because they wanted the electric light; some because they wanted old iron; some because they wanted darkness, because their deeds were evil. Some thought it not enough of a lamp-post, some too much; some acted because they wanted to smash municipal machinery; some because they wanted to smash something. And there is war in the night, no man knowing whom he strikes. So, gradually and inevitably, to-day, to-morrow, or the next day, there comes back the conviction that the monk was right after all, and that all depends on what is the philosophy of Light. Only what we might have discussed under the gas-lamp, we now must discuss in the dark.

Consider then… Protestantism…

Kurgan Mail – On Denominations

I received the following email, to which I responded in my usual direct style pulling no punches till the end. I present it in case it might be of use to other confused and lazy “Christians”. My replies are interspaced with the email.

UPDATE: There is a very nice follow up at the end.

Hi Guiseppe, [tsk, tsk, mispelling my name…not a good start!]

I have been reading through some of the things on your blog re: Catholicism. Thank you for taking the time to write about these matters – I think nothing could be more important than understanding reality and what is actually true, and then in light of that figuring out how to live. I read your book “Believe”, and I listened to your conversation with David the Good about his conversion to Catholicism – I ended up contacting him and having a great conversation with him about those matters. My own religious background is quite similar to his – a tour from non-denominational Bible believing church through calvary chapel “no creed but Christ” through southern baptist to reformed Calvinist to charismatic to… maybe Catholic. That’s the question. I have believed in God and had a sense of Him with me since I was 5, and all the way through all these churches I haven’t really cared about all the minutiae of the denominational differences, I have just been seeking the truth, seeking to be as close as possible to God, to live in a manner pleasing to Him, and to find others who are like-minded. 

That’s the context. I am emailing you to ask a couple questions and see if you would be willing to provide clarification and help. 

1 – As I understand it, one of the main differences between Catholicism and Protestantism (ignoring for a minute the question of whether sedavacantism is true Catholicism. Let’s just say “Catholicism” means “Catholicism in 1900” for the purposes of the catholic/protestant questions) is that Catholics ascribe to a set of rules determined by the church (guided by scripture and tradition), while Protestants believe each person has to interpret the Bible and come up with a set of rules individually. 

But, here’s the thing: every person has to use their individual judgement. Even Catholics had to use their individual judgement in order to become (or choose to stay) Catholic, and they still need to use some level of individual judgement to figure out how to apply rules in particular situations. Protestant churches don’t just say “do whatever you want” – they teach people to look at scripture, use logic, use your judgement and ask God for help, learn from other wise people, look at interpretations in good faith and also learn from the church – that’s why there are books and sermons and seminaries. I mean that’s why you’re sedevacantist – you’re looking at the information and making your own judgement.  It seems to me that a loving God would want His people to use their brains and wills and judgement and follow Christ (ie become disciples) not just blindly follow rules. What if He kept the authority in the Catholic Church for a while to establish it, but then once people were ready (and the possibility of Bibles being widespread became a reality due to the printing press) He called His people to the next level of reading and interpreting scripture for themselves, not just allowing a priest to do it for them? 

How’s that working out so far, Church wise and historically? Do you really think the average person today is more or less debauched that the average Catholic has been from the year say 300 to today? The reality is Protestantism is DIRECTLY responsible for the secularisation of Christianity. By the Abandonment of marriage being indissoluble it leads directly to sex for fun instead of procreation, which leads to contraception and abortion and the literal destruction of the family unit.


As for your question about “using your own common sense” it is an indisputable fact recognised by wise men throughout the existence of humanity that most people are complete idiots. As an analogy, how do you think things would work out if we let everyone just be “their own engineer” and figure out tolerances and safety factors in buildings by themselves instead of following a set of rules to ensure bridges don’t collapse along with everything else beyond a mud hut? 


Or if you prefer, how about we let you determine on your own how to figure out things like areas under curves instead of give you prescribed rules to follow in order to use calculus?


A human’s ability to make his own mind up to a certain extent does not preclude him from sticking to the rules that have proven true for millennia in a row, providing good results when followed and catastrophic ones when not. Do I really NEED to understand the totality of the Trinity in order to be Catholic? Or more mundanely, why Priests should be celibate? No. I do not, since I am not writing a treaty on the Trinity nor intend to become a priest. I can simply accept the Church’s position on it and move on. 

That sure sounds like what the Bible says in 1 John 2:27: “But the Holy Spirit that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as His Holy Spirit teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie – just as it has taught you, abide in Him.” And it also goes along with the idea that ALL believers are priests to the world (1 Peter 2:9: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness and into His wonderful light.”)  But maybe Protestantism is unbalanced – too much emphasis on individuals figuring out their own path, and Catholicism is both: using your own judgement but also accepting a clear set of rules and a clear authority outside yourself. What do you think?

 Obviously. Who are Peter and John referring to? Who are they writing to? Random Heathens proclaiming themselves as “Jesus followers”, or baptised believers heading up a Church established by Jesus on Earth? In fact both passages taken in context are literally a warning against heretics! Do you not think that the behaviour of a Catholic following Church rules is going to reflect on Catholicism? Is it not the duty of every Catholic to spread the gospel? And should a Catholic require some Muslim or Atheist, or whatever to teach Him anything about God? He is writing to people who are already Catholic on how to comport themselves when facing non-believers.

2 – You brought this up with David the Good, and I think a blog post or two as well: asking the question of what Protestants think of the first 1500 years of church history – where was their church? Here’s my answer. Christ established His church when He was on earth with Peter and the other apostles, and told them to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them, and teaching them to do everything Christ had told them, and that He would surely be with them always. And when He was about to go to the cross, He told His disciples that when He was physically gone, it would actually be better for them, because the Holy Spirit would come be with them to guide them. (John 16:7, 16:13). So from the beginning the church was defined as disciples of Christ: those who followed and loved (and therefore obeyed) Him, and the guide for the church was the Holy Spirit himself working through people. So the church spread, and more people came to believe and follow Christ, and it became bigger and more organized, and they worked out rules of how to allow Gentiles into the church, and figured out how to follow Christ in all the different contexts that came up. And it became eventually bigger and bigger, and more and more formalized as more situations were faced and more rules were made about how to apply the words and spirit of Christ in various situations. But all the while the mark of the true body of Christ did not change – anyone could be a disciple who believed Him, loved and obeyed Him and was therefore given the Holy Spirit.

 This is abysmally ignorant. And there is no point in any further discussion until you have demonstrated at least a shred of honest intent in curing that ignorance.

Let’s start with a few questions as an exercise for you to answer:

1. Who put the Bible together?

2. How many Popes had existed by that time?

3. There are AMPLE books on the various heresies and heretics that the Catholic Church rejected and excluded even prior to this as well as after. Read up on them.


You have literally ignored history, the bible itself and every saint and martyr, the crusades, the doctors of the church and so on that existed for the first 1500 years of the Church.

ALL the fundamental structures of the Church, including Popes, existed for 3 centuries BEFORE the Bible was even compiled. Do you not see the level of cognitive dissonance present in your simply glossing over these major facts as if they didn’t exit and it was just all some amorphous band of hippies singing kumbaya together for centuries until out of the blue, the EEEEVIL Catholic Church sprang up? It’s a level of complete avoidance of the facts on par with saying that the Second World War never happened and it was just a few letters exchanged by German pen-pals with British ones that went a little sour!
And NO. It is not at all true that anyone could be a “disciple” of Christ. The APOSTOLIC tradition of giving VALID authority to people who actually taught what the apostles taught from the start was well established before the Bible was even put together! In fact it is one of the primary ways in which heresy was kept out of the Church! Especially before the Bible was compiled. It is literally how people could trace that the teachings were genuine. Only apostle-approved people could teach in the Church (i.e. Bishops) who then approved VALID Priests, not all of whom would go on to become Bishops. Again, ignoring apostolic succession is basically so historically ignorant it is up there with belief in a flat Earth.  

 But over time the human part of the church grew and grew and became corrupted and encrusted with barnacles of legalisms and bureaucracy and self-serving rules that did not express the Spirit of Christ (similarly to how the pharisees had added more and more rules and bureaucracies to the law of God given to Moses. 

Again, nonsense, and again, utter ignorance on display of Church history. The Jews formalised 613 “laws” that are a lawyer’s wet dream of extended and nonsensical pedantry mixed in with perversion. The Rules of Catholicism (i.e. Christianity) are simple enough illiterate peasants can understand and follow them. The “legalism” is really only to explain (with references) where a certain rule comes from, which inevitably leads back to Tradition (from before the Bible) and/or the Bible itself. So for example, why should priests be celibate? If you are unaware of Church history this will be a mystery to you. As well if you haven’t bother to read the New Testament. If you have done both, it is clear and obvious. 

Christ constantly rubbed the contrast between the rules of men and the true spirit of the law in their faces – ie all the times He healed on Sabbath). So then in 1500 the reformers broke through, cleaned off the barnacles and corruptions as best they could, and the body of Christ continued on, with true believers within the Catholic Church AND within various denominations of the Protestant church. 

Again, nonsense. The logic is nonsensical at best if not insane, and the results speak for themselves.

1. Corrupt individuals in the Church never altered dogma one iota. Any who did were cast out as heretics, apostates, or infiltrating enemies of God. Over 40 Popes before 1958 were thus labelled, so this was not exclusive to random lay people. 

2. The rules of the Catholic Chruch have (when followed) led to the unquestionably best societies mankind has ever seen. Protestantism has taken 500 years to destroy most of those advances and the underlying skeleton still upholds most of what is decent in the West and in the world.

3. Most Protestant churches are literally a business. And the “prosperity gospel” they sing is led by charlatans trained in mass hypnosis techniques like NLP.

4. Go on, tell me the requirements for being a “valid” Christian that fits all the “valid” Protestants. I’ll wait.


Oh good, I see you made an attempt here below… 

The thing that defines the true church is believing in the reality of who God is – the loving and pure and completely Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Spirit (but that’s not enough, even the demons get that far), and making an act of will (actually many acts of will) to trust Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and completely devote yourself to follow and love and serve God always (aka “confessing Jesus is Lord”, becoming a disciple, denying yourself, picking up the cross and following Christ, etc – all ways of describing the same thing, turning from darkness to light, from self to Christ). 

Which is ALL Blah, blah, blah, and I begin to “refute” all of it according to at least 26,943 deonominations of Protestantism that will try to equate your “act of will” (a meaningless phrase if ever there was one) with “works” which they deny are required at all. And equally “refuted” by the other  25,000 denominations of Protestantism that believe in ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. What acts of will are you even talking about, you near-Catholic! No, no, you just have to say Jesus is your boyfriend and you’re forever saved!

So now here we are, with a bunch of visible churches – a bajillion Protestant denominations, various flavors of Catholicism (ie traditional, charismatic), Orthodox, sedevacantism, etc, and only God knows what the Venn diagram overlap is between the visible church (anyone who calls themselves a Christian) and the invisible church (true Christians – true followers – true disciples, filled with the Holy Spirit and bearing the family resemblance to their Father). 

Again, absolute nonsense regarding there being “flavours” of Catholicism. There is only ONE Catholic Church, always has been, always will be. The Novus Orco fake impostors are Satanists pretending to be Catholic. That’s it. Anyone thinking any of the fake Popes is legitimate is a moron, a liar or a satanist. That is all. There isn’t a “traditional” and a “charismatic” version of Catholicism. There is Catholicism, which follows what it always has, the infallible magisterium of the Church, which was compiled into one document in 1917, and then there is everything else, which is not Christianity.

Secondly, NO. There is ONLY one Church that is valid, and true and currently you need to follow the Bible and SEEK before you find it, which is still a million times easier than it was in say the year 400 under Roman persecution. There is no sense whatever in a Loving God that “hides” or makes it impossible for a human being that cares to know which is the real church. It’s a retarded concept. Like saying a father has children but never gives them any way of knowing that he is their father, for no reason at all other than what? Letting them be free to choose? It’s rubbish. Any loving father will say: Here I am son/daughter, and this are the rules of life that are best for you to be happy and healthy. The children then are free to listen or not and consequences will follow. 

So why would someone need to belong to the Catholic Church specifically? Is it that you think the Catholic Church is the one that’s the closest to the teaching and Spirit of Christ, so it’s the best option for a visible church to be part of? 

For a very simple reason. Not being Catholic and part of the Church means you end up in Hell. As Jesus specifically stated: You can only get to Heaven through him, the road to Hell is wide and well travelled, and the only way to Him is through His Church. 


One more question for you: Peter’s name was Simon. Why did God (Jesus) change it to Peter?Answer in full please.

Jesus said “I am the vine, you are the branches – if a man remains in me and I in him he will bear much fruit – apart from Me you can do nothing” – so wouldn’t staying in Christ be the thing that defines whether someone is in the true church, instead of staying in a particular visible church be the thing that defines whether you belong to Christ?  

Who Instituted the Church on Earth?

What are the rules he made for that Church?

Who has the authority to teach these rules?

How are you “staying in Christ” if you ignore the above 3 questions?


Lastly, just because you SAY you are Catholic does NOT automatically mean you are saved. We are not Protestants. You need to BE Catholic, not just pay lip service to it. Simply saying it is no proof against ending up in Hell along with the majority of people who will end up there.

3 – One of the advantages of having a unified Catholic Church is that it became a cultural force and shaped the countries and cultures that were converted. 

Which were objectively better places for human beings to live than any other place on Earth. Let’s not forget this little detail, shall we? And go ahead and prove me wrong by referencing any other human society and comparing it with Catholicism.

One of the problems though is that if the authority of the church is unified like that, it is much more dangerous if it becomes corrupted. 

Which it has attempted to become for two millennia in a row unceasingly. And has continued to fail to become corrupt, as well as it has failed to do so to this very day. As it did during the Arian Heresy and other times in history. No other organisation in the history of the Human race has withstood with its dogma intact for two millennia. And that is because the Church is protected from error by Jesus Himself and His promise to be with us to the end. There can be no other explanation. A faithful Catholic was never absent the Church since its establishment on Earth. Nor is anyone absent it today who cares to study the issue.

And it’s arguable that this is exactly what happened to the Catholic Church – it got corrupted from within and mostly has rotted out, but it’s been really hard for Catholics to accept sedevacantism because it’s so ingrained in them to follow the centralized authority. 

So? It has always been thus, among humans, because, repeat it with me: Most humans are idiots. And idiots, just like the poor, will always be with us. As will sinners, error and corruption, for that is what original sin is. Nothing new here. Nor anything to be particularly worried about if you are an actual person that cares enough about God and the truth to research it properly and then follow it. The Catholic Church has always existed uninterrupted since its creation. It continues to exist now (in Sedevacantists) and will continue do so until the End Times.

Protestant churches are not nearly as much of a cultural force, especially nowadays (historically they have had more of a cultural impact). 

Are you kidding?

The entire zeitgeist of the Western World is Protestant. Vatican II was instigated by a Jew and Protestants. The ENTIRE Churchainity of the Western world is wholly Protestant. “Everyone has his/her/Xhey’s “truth” and don’t you judge anyone, you bigot!” Is literally the very bedrock of Protestantism.

However, since there are lots of different churches and denominations, there is a built in checks and balances type of protection – if an individual church or denomination is corrupted, the Holy Sprit can spring up in another church or denomination very easily. 

Again, utter and complete babbling nonsense. The average person can’t even read a paragraph and rewrite it in their own words while retaining the essential information in it but they are supposed to recognise individually the presence of the very “Holy Spirit” that literally EVERY single one of the 45,000 plus denominations of hellish Protestation against God claim for themselves? Please.

Kind of centralized authority vs free market. I can see advantages and disadvantages to both systems. I guess that’s more a comment than a question – but it seems like you only see the good side of the powerful centralized authority, vs the decentralized. 

We’re not discussing economics. We are discussing the very nature of reality and truth. There is only ONE truth. ONE Authority. That’s it. Belief in God is not a “free market of ideas” for anyone except Pagans destined for Hell. Just like there is only ONE math. And anyone that can’t do it can’t achieve anything of meaning in the construction of any kind of building, object, or structure of any importance.

Ok, that was a lot. I appreciate any thoughts or comments you may have. My desire is to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and my neighbor as myself, and if becoming Catholic is the next step in front of me to do that, then that’s great. I just can’t quite see it clearly yet. 

I suggest you start by educating yourself on the early history of the Church. A good introduction is the book The Four Witnesses by Rod Bennett. He also has a second book, but I have not read it. For more in depth stuff read the works of the Patristic fathers from the early church. There are volumes of stuff even just from the first 200 years of the Church. So spend some time reading enthuse things. 

Thank you! Best wishes and prayers of blessing for you and your family over there in Italy. I do see God’s love in you through your writing and I appreciate it. 

Thank you. And while my responses can be “harsh” the intent too is I hope clear. I have never had patience with people that cannot be instructed. One of my mottos is “leave all the retards behind”.

I am not for everyone, nor am I meant to be. I was obviously created as I was with various talents best used as tip of the spear stuff when compared to many other souls far higher than mine in the hierarchy of things.In any case, I do wish you all the best, and may God’s Grace, Mercy and Love shine upon you and lead you to the Truth. It has been my experience that God never abandons us and He in fact helps us all get to Him if we but genuinely seek and ask, and make some real effort towards discovering those basic truths that His existence naturally must imply.
I also just wrote a post entitled why denominations matter that may be of some use although it reiterates much of what I already stated here. I will anonymise your email, but it makes for decent reading, so I will use it as a subject for a post.

Thank you and may God bless you and your loved ones now and forever.

UPDATED REPLY

Awesome, thanks so much for your responses. Some of your points were really helpful and clarifying. I liked your illustration about having to work out all the rules of calculus or something like that from scratch. What a relief if we don’t have to do that with God. That makes a lot of sense that a loving Father would not leave us to do that. 
And really good point that the zeitgeist of the enlightenment and post-enlightenment modern world IS protestant – I hadn’t thought of it like that but I think you’re right. I do disagree with you when you say not anyone can be a “disciple” of Christ. Not anyone can be an apostle, but anyone who follows Christ is a disciple – that’s what disciple means (follower, apprentice, student). That’s why He said “go and make disciples of all nations”. So then the question is “what does following Christ actually mean in the real world, 2024?” And the case is becoming clearer to me that “following Christ” means being baptized into His original visible church and obeying His rules from the heart as taught by the people He entrusted with this task. 


Precisely. Being a disciple means being Catholic. 


And yes, I absolutely know that Christ founded His church on Peter (Petra, the original WWF “The Rock”), and that the authority of the apostles and their successors is what held the church together and kept the truth clean and uncorrupted, especially up until scripture was canonized. And after that too. I was trying to work out the difference between the spiritual reality of new life that Jesus talks about (ie John 3:16, you must be born of the Spirit), and the physical, visible reality of institutions. Trying to figure out what makes the “true church.” I’ve grown up being taught that it’s all about the inner life of the Spirit, and the outer institution doesn’t matter. But it’s sounding more like both are vital. 


It’s quite nonsensical and typically Satanic to “assume” that the ONLY part that matters is the only one only God can judge and no man can know with certainty. Of course the external part matters, which is why the sedeprivationist point sticks out as glaring error to me. only totals sedevacantist position makes fully sense. While it is true that the internal forum is for God alone to judge, we as human beings MUST act on the visible external forum that can be observed and verified by all. 


Thanks again – I really appreciate your time. I will check out that Four Witnesses book. I had read your post on denominations – that’s what impelled me to email you originally.


You’re welcome, and may your email help others too. 

Apologies for the harshness. I write as I go, and the intent is never mean, just an expedient way to sort through those too dumb to bother with. Clearly not the case with you. Now we have established that I shall behave in a more correct manner, though I doubt very much I will ever achieve “gentleman” status!

Why Denominations Matter

This should be absolutely obvious even to small children, but since apparently, Professor Cipolla’s First Law is an immutable iron law of humanity for all time, I guess it needs spelling out. In short words and possibly crayon-like drawings.

Let’s try to follow the logic:

Q1: Does the meaning of words matter?

A: Yes

Proof: What is a woman?

Can a Man get Pregnant?

How many sexes are there?

You either know how to answer those three follow-up questions as follows:

An adult human female.

No.

Two.

Or…. You are either an intentional liar and deceiver, or a mentally ill person. Either way, liar or insane, neither type is anyone with whom it is worthwhile to try to have any sort of rational or normal conversation or communication.

Q2: Is objective reality a thing?

A: Yes

The fact you may not always be able to understand what you are observing, does not mean reality is subjective. Even things like the two-slit experiment are reducible to objective facts, which are that when observed the particles predictably behave differently from when they are not observed.

Q3: Is truth relative?

A: No

Just like math, the ultimate truth of any specific thing, at any specific time and place, will have a precise answer. The fact you may not be capable of working out exactly what that is, also has no bearing on the reality that such a precise answer exists. Just like the fact you can’t do advanced calculus does not mean such a calculation will not have a precise answer.

In short, if words, facts and truth matter, then, what version of God you believe in, absolutely matters.

It can in fact be postulated that it matters more than any other question, especially if you already believe that:

God is good, infallible and loves you.

If God is both Good and also Loves you, as well as Infallible, then, a necessary conclusion must also be that Free Will and Justice both MUST also follow.

Consider that, since He is infallible, whatever His rules are, must be the best and true ones. And since He loves us there MUST be a way for us to discover what they are. Along with the possibility to reject them (because free will). But… if we do seek, and we do find, then… well, we should find a set of rules that is infallible. And since He loves us, it must also be possible for us to figure out which set of rules that is amongst all the lies and nonsense human beings produce constantly.

In fact, given all humans are flawed, it is quite obvious that such an infallible set of rules, must exist purely because of God’s Will and Love for us, and despite all human attempts at perverting said rules, again, due to His Love these attempts will ultimately as well as constantly fail, regardless of any temporary “success” they may seem to have from time to time. Thus, what can only be described as by a Supernatural protection, said rules must not only exist and be discoverable, but would also continue to exist to the End of Times, again, regardless of human attempts to corrupt them, which would essentially be continuous and endless.

In fact, this aspect of the rules alone would be proof that God exists, loves us, is infallible AND will protect His rules from the constant predation of flawed human beings.

The only religion that has ever made such a claim is the Catholic Church.

Prior to 28th October 1958 this was unique to the Catholic Church, which also set down these rules in one book: The Code of Canon Law of 1917.

Broadly speaking, the rules of the Catholic Church is how decent Christians comported themselves throughout the centuries, which is why Catholicism spread throughout the world more than any other false claimant to “Christianity”.

And why it achieved the heights of human well-being, and humane progress and civilisation that is a genuine betterment of the human condition instead of a mere mechanisation of them, as evidenced, for example by the industrial revolution, which is touted as “progress” when really it was the technological advancement of machinery and the mechanisation of human being in order to make those machines work more efficiently.

Anyone stupid enough to postulate that the “denomination” of your version of “Christianity” doesn’t matter as long as you’re a “follower of Christ” is a functional idiot. There really is no escaping that conclusion, and it is, indeed, perfectly in line with professor Cipolla’s assessment of the first law; that is, even people you may have deemed intelligent and rational, at some point, will reveal themselves to be irredeemably stupid.

Now, the natural human tendency to want to give people the benefit of the doubt, creeps in here and makes even intelligent people make reasonable sounding statements, such as, for example, Vox, on this post a while back:

One of the reasons I refuse to tolerate the never-ending internecine Christian civil wars is that I see no point in paying attention to labels and dogma when the spiritual version of WWIII is currently in full effect. If, at this point, you can’t recognize the difference between those who are actively and knowingly serving Clown World and those who are doing their best, however misguided they might be, to serve Jesus Christ, your opinion is irrelevant.

Sounds reasonable right?

Except it makes no sense at all.

In the body of Vox’s post the fake Novus Ordo Church is described as funding mass migration, which is true and is what it does. But the fake Novus Ordo church is also described as being the Catholic Church. Which it is not.

I’m fairly sure that Vox does not view someone like Ben Shapiro as being a legitimate American. And for good reason. Ben may be born in the USA, he may say he is American, he may have the papers to prove it, and in fact his claim to being American is at least legally valid. Anyone who bothered to observe his behaviour though, would quickly realise Ben Shapiro would happily burn America to the ground in order to make Israel better off. It is obvious that Ben does not value America anywhere near as much as he does Israel.

Now, the Novus Ordo fake Church in fact, does NOT have the legitimate legal “papers”. Ben Shapiro is far more validly American than the Novus Ordo Church is in any way validly Catholic.

In fact, if anyone bothers to check the fake Novus Ordo Church “papers” they will find that Canon 188 part 4 of the Code of Canon Law of 1917, whose entire purpose is precisely to lay down the rules of the Church in simple, legal, Roman Law, makes it absolutely clear the every fake “Pope” from Angelo Roncalli on is, in fact, legally, an impostor. A fake. At best a heretic or apostate, and more probably an infiltrating Satanist that never was a Catholic at any point.

This is clear, it is obvious, and, of course, it matters far more than Ben Shapiro’s loyalties to his supposed nation of birth instead of the one he identifies with.

Of course, if one starts out from the completely flawed perspective that just a generic “Jesus saves” intimation is enough to qualify one as a Christian, clearly, they are hardly going to investigate the details of the legitimacy or otherwise of what most of the planet (composed mostly of stupid people, let’s not forget) thinks is the “Catholic Church”.

But that doesn’t in any way make it acceptable or correct.

Because, as explained right at the start: the Truth, the facts of objective reality, matter.

And if that is true, then, what the TRUE rules that God wants us to follow are, absolutely matters.

And they sure can’t be the ones you in your arrogant, prideful, dumb, little brain, decide they are, all on your own. Which is precisely what every single version of Protestantism ultimately boils down to. There simply aren’t any prescribed rules to follow at all, except whatever ones suit you specifically.

Now, any child above the age of 5 or so, can clearly see that there is no game that makes any sense whatsoever, where you just pick the rules you want and ignore the ones you don’t like, and in fact can switch the rules you like too at will. Protestantism is essentially theological Calvinball.

But this train of thought is apparently a step too far for every single Protestant.

The reason, the only reason, we are currently living in the Clown World era, is precisely because actual Catholics degraded and fell quietly by the wayside, while never-where Catholic pretenders, from the sexual perverts of Luther and Henry the VIII, all the way to the various nobles that were more concerned with land, money and glory than the truth, advanced on the truth with their lies, deceit, and error, all in the service of their own twisted desires in the temporal, and Satan’s plan in the eternal.

When you know that 2 and 2 is 4, yet you allow the retards around you to say everything from 2 and 2 is 7 to 2 and 2 is purple, and you don’t call them out for the liars, satanists, or utter morons they are, you are, in fact, helping to degrade the entire human race.

Sure, Vox, trying to look at the big picture, thinks that the solution is that, hey, as long as these guys are more or less shooting towards the enemy, that’s all that counts.

He literally says if you don’t recognise the difference between a dedicated Clown Worlder and someone that may be in error but is mostly fighting Clown World, then your opinion is irrelevant, which is fair enough, but the strawman implication there is that someone pointing out the errors, lies, deceit and ruination of literally all of Protestantism or the fake Novus Ordo Church is somehow someone that can’t tell the difference between a dedicated Clown Worlder and a Churchian that means well.

That strawman is, of course, nonsense.

And Churchianity does, irrevocably lead to Hell, paved with good intentions as it inevitably is.

It is literally the reason Clown World even exists.

Because Churchianity “sounds” good, right? We are all equal; save the poor refugees; be politically correct, you don’t want to offend anyone, right?

Except it’s all a deceit. It’s all a lie, and it starts precisely by permitting people, whether intentional liars or misguided fools, to pervert the truth by their pretence that they are “Christians” when in fact they are nothing of the sort. Because they have zero legitimacy to the claim, lack the valid requirements, both spiritually (which God only can judge) but also legally (which can be clearly identified externally by anyone who cares to look) to make that claim.

If you are not a Catholic, you simply are NOT a Christian. You may wish to be. You may believe you are. You may really, really, really, want to be one, but you are not. At the very, very, very, best, most optimistic of views possible, you are in deep, deep, deep, error, that is entirely your fault, through the sin of sloth. Literally being too lazy to educate yourself about God and His Church.

This applies to most lay “Catholics” who are in the Novus Ordo fake Church and truly believe themselves to be Catholic, but have never bothered to investigate what Catholicism is, was and how it has been infiltrated and perverted by its enemies, culminating in Vatican II and the utter inversion and heresy it represents.

To a MUCH lesser extent it applies to anyone of literally any other denomination that truly believes they really are a “Christian” (presumably “generic” with a trademark stamp on the back of their head). These are people that not only have not bothered to study the details of Catholic dogma and compare them with post Vatican II heresy; which is bad enough. No, these are people who have not bothered to spend five minutes thinking about the broad history of the Church and contextualising it within the broad history of the infinite permutations of Protestantism since its inception 500 years ago.

In math terms, Protestants are the ten year olds who still count using made up numbers like eleventeen and fantillion. The rest of us, whether bad at math, like the average Novus Ordo layman that thinks he is Catholic, or the Eastern “Orthodox” that thinks he is a proper Christian, or actual Christians (i.e. Sedevacantist Catholic), look on at the retard and shake their heads.

But only those who care have the courage to go up to that ten year old potential retard, give him a smack in the face to stop his incessant babbling, then get him to sit down, shut up, and pay attention, so we can determine is he really is that retarded, in which case there is no helping him. Eventually he will run in the road and play in traffic and get run over. Best we can do in that case is to keep him in his own safe space, far away from us.

Or… we realise he was just lied to, or prideful, and wanted to feel special, in which case he might be salvaged by first showing him how to count to ten.

You cannot build anything worthwhile or durable if you build on sand without any precautions.

And that is exactly what you are doing when you think that paying attention to the fundamental truths of math, engineering and history is not relevant.

The truth matters. Protecting it from corruption matters. Your feelings about it don’t.

Protestants are not Christians. And it matters they are made aware of it. Novus Ordo “Catholics” are lazy ignorants. And it matters they are made aware of it. The Eastern “Orthodox” are not Orthodox and are schismatics. And it matters they are made aware of it.

It’s really not hard to understand. A child really does get it. Before you can fix a problem, you need to be aware of what the problem is.

And in the case of most people reading this, the problem is you are not a Christian at all.

And while your fake uniform, and fake badge, and fake belief might fool YOU, or maybe even a friend or two, it sure will not fool either our Lord, nor His enemy.

The Truth matters. And there is only one version of it that applies to all of us at all times. Only one.

Choose wisely.

The Real Zombie Apocalypse

Even most people reading this will probably not appreciate the point of this post. But one does what one can, like a ham radio operator in a zombie apocalypse, you send out a voice into the Aether and hope it helps who it might.

The overwhelming majority of humanity, especially in the so-called civilised world, has absolutely not even an inkling of an idea of how badly they have been manipulated. Really, quite literally none. You may think you are aware that 9/11 was done by Mossad, and consider yourself basically “aware” of the “deep state”. The increasingly common revelations about pedophiles and child traffickers and maybe even your awareness of organ trafficking and adrenochrome draining of children as a business, MAY have entered your conscious understanding that these things are real and happening.

If so, you are already in a minority, but you are still not even half-awake yet.

There are essential and “normalised” behaviours you accept as good and normal and civilised which are actually evil, abnormal and utterly Satanic.

Some time ago, I made a really brief and far from conclusive or exhaustive list of things that if you believe pretty much any of them, it’s a good sign you really haven’t looked into it at all and/or may not be the brightest bulb in the box. Of course, it had my usual, signature kind and flattering title…

The point is that even my most loyal readers and friends, are quite likely to find at least one if not a few, items on that list that “offend” them. Especially in the Catholic/religious points, but the hard reality is that there is nothing on that list that hasn’t been concluded by the exact same direct and dialectic method of simply looking at the facts, regardless of how I personally may feel about them.

And that list, as I said, is FAR from exhaustive.

Let me put it this way. Say you agree with me on everything on that list 100%. Well, guess what, you’re still not free of the deceptions. And since I keep discovering more of them almost daily, neither am I.

I however, have reached what I call Survivor Of (the current )Zombie Apocalypse level (SOZA).

I ain’t gonna become a zombie. I may be droned by the people who gave us the current zombie apocalypse, I may be overrun by a zombie wave, sure, but I will never be an actual zombie myself.

There are two important conditions you absolutely must have in order to be considered as being at the SOZA Level. They are probably not what you think. Here they are:

  1. An absolute, irreducible, total, acceptance of the fact that OBJECTIVE REALITY is a thing. It exists and is how the ENTIRE Universe, works. At all levels. This is not to be confused with the existence or otherwise of supernatural entities or pretty much anything else. What this means is that although we all know that unicorns do not exist, if there were to be found overwhelming EVIDENCE (which differs from proof) of unicorns, then one MUST postulate they at the very least they might be possible. At the same time, given that all the evidence we currently have is that Unicorns do NOT exist and are in fact a misinterpretation of what a rhinoceros is, we must postulate that they do not in fact exist. While the above sounds obvious, it actually is not. Most people under 50 have never even learnt how to think logically, or what logic is. My friend Tony graduated with a university degree in philosophy and was not even aware what logic was! He’s since corrected that very much, but the point is that you have probably been trained to believe truth is relative in more ways than you can count and that is the very root of all evil in many respects. Because once you accept that truth is relative, then nothing might be true and everything might be true, without you ever really being able to say that anything is one or the other with any certainty. This inability to take a firm and absolute position, means you are malleable. You have no solid beliefs. You will not die nor kill for pretty much anything. And that is NOT a good thing. Of course, the very mention of VIOLENCE in the last sentence is bound to make you think I am unhinged, because you have also been trained, as have we all, that only government should have the monopoly on force. Because governments throughout human history have always been such good guys, right? The fact tis that if you are unable to see objective reality is how things work, you are essentially unable to believe in anything or anyone. And an amorphous piece of flotsam that gets swayed by the emotions of the zombies around you…. well… guess what that makes you? Just another zombie in the crowd. And they don’t care if you are a zombie that goes left or right or just sits on his ass and preens his own navel. In any case you are not a threat. Just another zombie.

2. The ability to observe, research, evaluate, test, verify, pretty much any and all information that you receive. Every narrative, every news item, every historical piece of information and so on. And also how to contextualise it with other observations. This too is almost a dead art. Perhaps even more so than the belief in an objective reality.

Almost everything you think you know is a lie. Almost every pharmaceutical and medical concept of drug use is a distortion of the truth not designed to heal you but to at best treat symptoms while enriching the manufacturers of that drug. Best case. Because in many case it’s the intent of causing you harm with one thing so they can sell you another to fix the issue they created in the first place.

Almost every narrative of history is almost the reverse of what you have been taught to believe.

Almost every reality of genetics; race; IQ; history; ancient technology; current technology; energy creation, transmission, and possible use; health information; food information; the things they are doing to you with food, microwaves, medicines and pretty much everything else, is a lie.

Once you realise this, even if, like me, you begin to instantly glaze over when people start trying to tell you what food is ok and what is not, you will begin to realise that actually, not only it matters, but when you get rid of sugar and white flour and gluten from your diet completely, and reduce processed milk to zero or near to it too and other little things like drinking a little bit of absolutely pure olive oil (which you can’t get in shops, just like you can’t get honey there either) and a finger or two of actually properly made wine (ditto) with your meals, your health actually improves dramatically in only a few weeks, and then you see what they want to feed your kids in school, and what they are trying to prevent you from eating… well… you eyes don’t glaze over anymore.

So… if you have reached that level of awareness too, and you look around, you will find you tend to be an island in a sea of zombies. they might be beautiful zombies, friendly zombies, related to you by blood zombies, but they are zombies nonetheless.

And that’s only half the equation.

You know what the other half of the equation is? The supposed “freedom” part? Well, guess what, you cannot in any way have any freedom if you can’t actually protect it with force. Any freedom you have (or, increasingly, IMAGINE you have) is only an illusion. If you cannot defend yourself from force being applied to you to make you do this or that or the other, you are simply not free at all. The savages of Sentinel Island may be stone-age primitives, but despite their absolute low-tech, they have managed to carve out a place for themselves away from the rest of the world. Within the confines of their island and their society’s rules, they are absolutely more free than you or I.

And this is the second very important part to understand, which also has two components:

  1. The only freedom you have is that which you can protect by force
  2. Because the only way to do 1. is with a large enough community that also understands 1. even then, your freedom is limited to the rules that such a community shares. The loser and fuzzier the rules are, the more you will be deluded into thinking you are free, while instead you will be increasingly prey in direct proportion to the “looseness” of the communal rules.

The conclusion is inescapable that the only (and the most) freedom you can have is exactly like the one envisioned in any number of dytopic zombie apocalypse scenarios; and that is in a situation where:

  1. You are in a community of people that ALL understand you are in a zombie apocalypse.
  2. They understand enough about reality and the objective universe to know that in order to be able to continue existing as non-zombies you need to have the means, ability and willingness to use as much force as needed to protect yourself and your entire community.
  3. That community has to have rules and the more direct, simple and INVIOLABLE and INVARIABLE the rules are, the safest the community is, the more you have of both safety as well as freedom, paradoxical as it sounds.

There is a step 4. A very important one. You do’t need to re-invent the wheel. The set of rules that works best is already in existence. It has the best track record of any other system and lasted the longest, and even if it has greatly been reduced in the last 70 years or so, it still exists.

Proper Catholicism. It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. If you are one of the vanishingly small number of people able to simply observe the facts and make your decisions based on reason and logic, it is inescapable.

Catholicism (today only exhibited by Sedevacantist Catholics) has had the longest run of ANY human organisation, empire, or religion save one: Satanism. Satanism is certainly older, but no other religion comes even remotely close to comparing to the 2,000 years of Catholicism when you consider the good deeds and genuinely positive things it produced in the overall human condition over its two millennia.

The only other empire that comes even slightly close is the Roman Empire, at some 800 years, and believe me when I say that living under a Catholic City state or nation, is far, far, far, less brutal, more pleasant, and good than living under one that is modelled on Ancient Rome.

The British Empire comes in at a very, very, distant third place; and then mostly would be limited to at least Anglo-Saxon people, and a version of them whose culture, like the Romans of long ago, has mostly disappeared from the present day.

Catholicism remains the only one of these versions that still exists.

It doesn’t even matter what your theological beliefs or disagreements with Catholicism may be. What is clear is that this is the factual reality on the ground. This is literally what objective reality shows.

Only Catholics have been able to hold at bay, survive, and grow from ashes to continue fighting the eternal Enemy of Man.

So, I hope you will see this and check for yourself what is written here. My book BELIEVE! Is a short read of maybe a couple of hours at most, filled with references, and that I think introduces the concept of Catholicism fairly and simply while comparing it to all other main perspectives. You don’t HAVE to buy my book, you can verify all this stuff by yourself, but if you want to take a shortcut and see some references and conclusions you can then try to poke holes into instead (which makes things easier than discovering it all from scratch in the first place) you might wand to spend the roughly 15 dollars or so to read it in digital or paper format, as you prefer.

But feel free to also just try and prove me wrong. Really have a good go at it. Trying to do so will inevitably lead you into discovering some truths you are not aware of.

In Preparation for TMOS Part 6

I strongly suggest that, women especially, look at this 15 minute video from a woman that has interviewed 1000 women.

Pay attention especially between minutes 5 and 12 or so.

I found it interesting that she said people want other people to convert to their religion (after minute 10). I think she is mostly right. And I also think that the perspective for Sedevacantist is slightly different.

Yes we do want people to see the truth, but I personally do NOT want random people becoming Catholic. I am not aware of any Sede that does either. And when I say Sede I always mean actual Catholics. Because as a matter of dogmatic principle, Catholicism makes it absolutely clear that the only conversion to Catholicism that is valid is one that is entirely voluntary.

Specifically, in order to go from whatever one was, to proper Catholic, inevitably tends to mean a process of rather in-depth study of the history of the Church, the various dogmas of Catholicism when compared to reality as we find it and other beliefs we may have had and so on.

Her final conclusion that marriage only has about a 10% chance of working out is not something I looked into, and she may well be right, nevertheless, I still think that marriage is worth doing. I do agree that women used to stay in marriage in the past due to mostly external factors, and if we take that as the method of measurement then 10% may be optimistically high. But then, I have been saying women need to catch up and evolve some rationality, logic and emotional self-discipline for decades. Those who manage it, and who go on to get married and create numerous families, will be the ones that —along with the men who also evolved beyond mere brute force as the way to control their surrounding— create the next generation of worthwhile humans.

Aside from simply the fact it is the highest form of absolute truth I have yet encountered in human affairs, viewed from an autistic level of objectivity, because I did not start out with any kind of dog in the fight, this is also why real Catholicism makes so much sense. It is based on objective reason that absolutely reflects objective reality, regardless of how we feel about it, and the women in it are amongst the most capable, intelligent and rational I have ever met in my over half-century on this Earth.

And we Catholics certainly don’t shy away from the whole making a bunch of children and sticking with your wife/husband for life while you raise them, and beyond it too.

So, no, I don’t want people to become Catholic for any reason other than the real one: Because it makes sense and model reality accurately and they see and experience that in their own lives.
