Politics Defined

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy."
 
-British writer and publisher Sir Ernest Benn, 1875-1954

Political Saints

John Paul II and John XXIII were canonized today as saints by the Roman Catholic Church. This was a political move not a spiritual one. The requirements of sainthood were not met by John XXIII and JP II were suspect. There are no miracles attributed to John XXIII recognized by the Church that I am aware, the same pope that started the heresy of Vatican II by opening it.

So why did they do it? Political reasons, the RCC has become as the world as Pius XII warned us shortly before his death, (his successor John XXIII canonized today) Pius XII spoke even before that what was to become of the Church. He was right. So no Catholic go saying love it or leave it. I love the faith but not what the Church has become. I shall not leave the faith but I can't prevent the Church from doing so.

I stood; and in the distance I saw a hideous creature (Satan) saying "Rebuild the Church and build it strong, with no angels on guard, and I shall tear it down."

What an ominous warning!

Update for Res: The Lambs Supper If you want to know about what the Mass means for your own edification, I highly recommend this book written by a former Protestant minister, who went to a High Mass and sat in the back and what he saw with his knowledge of the Bible blew him away. He went there for other motives and walked out a different person about the RCC and converted later.

The Sister-in-law Syndrome

Politics sucks, let me point that out first. But I got a Sister-in-Law that uses the same tactics. She will cry, worry and complain about someone using the woe is me teary eyed BS. Ever known anyone like that? They are people with perpetual persecution complexes. They can turn on the tears any time they want. They are actually psychopathic, narcissistic morons. They complain about everything, they are drama queens. Of course the people close to them figure this out, some sooner, some later. I want to show you this in a TV Political advertisement for Lieutenant Governor of the great State of Texas. Tell me you haven't met someone like this? Watch her eyes well up nearly tearing.

She is a witch, no better way to say it. And don't think she won't turn on a dime even when she gets what we she wants after being paid to do it. I have no dog in the fight, but this gives me reason to vote for Patrick. Besides most everyone knows Dewhurst stopped the bill to throw the TSA out of Texas.
