"My Good Bud, Mr. Christ, and I, Off Shopping for the Next Good Leader"
A wonderfully hilarious opinion piece appeared in the Los Angeles Times today by humorist John Kenney, "Mr. Christ and Me." It was the absolutely perfect satirical exposition of the political Catholicist's devotion to his own Jesus.
You may know that recently Republican Mitt Romney felt the need to rationalize his "faith" as being quite within the mainstream. For most of U.S. history Mormonism has existed as a pariah religion outside the boundaries of Americanist religious culture, but over the past many years it has gone to great lengths to market itself as being as normal as any other Christian faith.
The silliness of Romney's attempt can only truly be seen through the eyes of Scripture, which cuts so incisively that nothing is left to doubt. One of the things it divides quite nicely is the World and the Kingdom.
The Kingdom's monarch is none other than Jesus Christ. He reigns supremely, majestically-- and still considers His own as beloved children of a doting father. He has no rival at all, ever, much less one like Caesar.
The World's potentate follows a long line begun with Cain. All are murderers, liars, and racketeers, so who is selected to be a governor in that vein should best do those things well. And since Mormonism is merely a concoction of elaborate Roman Catholic design, Mitt Romney should be a perfect fit.
Many felt that Romney echoed the strains of John Kennedy's similar speech in 1960 when he had to defend himself from the anti-Catholics. One thing they both shared is noteworthy.
Each one proclaimed boldly that he would refuse to take orders from any authority within his "church." For the Mormon that would probably be an old guy in the ivory tower there in Salt Lake City, for the Catholic that would seemingly be the pope.
The problem is that they both do take orders from the one who runs the World System, the one most qualified and best trained to do so. This individual is neither of the aforementioned ones, but he is indeed the highest ranking military officer of the Roman institution. It is also true that neither could confess that it is who it is, and that may even be because this powerful individual has used Sun-Tzuan arts so deftly they don't know themselves that they do his bidding.
One of the ways he does this is seen in a common elaboration of the confessions from both Kennedy and Romney. It goes something like this: "I think the most important thing is to do what Americans want and what is best for them." How noble that sounds.
But when the populace is mostly made up of World inhabitants sworn to World behavior and in great need of having their sin managed, the president of the United States doesn't have to dial up ol' Peter-Hans at all. This is because Peter-Hans has already made the people so wholly Catholicized that whatever they ask of the president is what they will get.
The people essentially say to all presidential candidates, "We are about to select another lord over our lives and affairs. Lots of things are negotiable, but one thing isn't: We all belong to the Americanist Civil Religion, and we insist you don't disturb that which gives us comfort in our sinful conduct."
Romney is effectively saying, "Let me manage that conduct and assure you that I will keep your belief in the Civil Religion vibrant and your rituals constructive. I will promise to keep my more discomforting Mormon views close to the vest for they are meaningless anyway."
Really, this is a dance that has been done for ages. The people and their World papa, the World papa and the people. Very few can see the puppeteer way up in the rafters there.
It is sweet indeed to read a delightful piece like Kenney's today, just highlighting the abject folly that is the Catholicist Nation.
Who is this "Peter-Hans" fellow? For an idea look here. Far more significantly, who is that character who reigns in the Kingdom again? Some thoughts about him are here.
