"Pope Leo XIII on Taking Back the Culture"
by Michael Sebastian
I have spent a little over a year looking for true believers – men
willing to charge into the fire for their faith with Rosaries in one
hand and a sword in the other in order to preserve the Church and its
traditions and teaching and all that it stands for and all that it could
be once more, men of a certain caliber and mold not easily found these
days… unfortunately, I have not found them yet. What I have found are
men much like myself – not exactly boy scouts and knights in shining
amour… no, they are hustlers trying to stay afloat in this madness,
scoundrels trying to stay one step ahead of the tax-man and the law-man
in their quest to stash away just a little bit more of what they work
hard for, I come across old soldiers that have lost their faith in the
democratic process and their governments, men looking for a place where
they belong in the chaos… but, what all these men are is men of destiny –
men moving toward their moment in time, men who will not run away from
the fight when the time comes, but I can not convince them that the time
is now to pick up that cross and that banner and march to the fight
coming at them like a tide… but for certain, all these men without
hesitation kneel before the cross.
Men in this modern world struggle just to retain their natural
instinct without persecution, let alone profess their religious beliefs
with out fear of being called out as a bigoted racist NAZI. The average
modern man is trying to get laid and hold a job to pay off his debts
and buy more stuff that he feels will improve his station in life and
make it more fulfilling, God and the Church are not his priorities, and
the average married man is trying to keep his wife happy so she won’t
rape him in divorce court and take away the fruits of his labor, he is
spoiling his children so they will like him as a friend instead of
respecting him as their father, he has his mortgages and car payments
and appearances to keep up… and the nightmare of his soul killing job,
where he must navigate the storm of political correctness and his social
justice co-workers… and we want him to have more of a presence at his
church?
But yes, that is what men need to do – be more active in your church
if you wish to save it… the women will not, no matter how saintly she
might appear – she ain’t Joan of Arc.
What you can do is start a men’s organization at your Church –
absolutely no women allowed and if the priest thinks he has something to
say about it then you have to find a way to let the priest know that
the church belongs to the people – which is the truth. Men only groups
that you can form to start with aside from the usual bible study group
can be discussion groups where you read works such as this one mentioned
by Pope Leo XIII and discuss it’s meaning and message along with books
by other Christian writers like Chesterton and even Reactionaries like
Evola – Evola would be easier to understand with other men trying to get
through such heavy reading. Groups like this can turn into think tanks
that can come up actual solutions to the problems in your community,
you can help other men just by letting them know that men around to
listen to them and willing to help them solve their problems. You need
to get men of influence involved in your group – businessmen and
entrepreneurs, current serving and ex-military, men with skills, that
they can teach, trades men, and professionals.
Get organized and come up with some sort of decal that business
owners can put on their windows that will identify them as members of
your “community” people of faith that wish to preserve their faith and
tradition without fear so that those “in the know” will know where to
spend their money – hey, Masons have their hand signs and gestures and a
bag full of tricks to identify themselves and yes, Masons come first in
their eyes… I don’t care what you have read or heard to the contrary…
so you must be as close knit and hermetic in your ways as they are, so
find ways to identify your kind in ways that only you know and support
those businesses, if possible, live in closed communities with your kind
of people, if you own property, then rent to your people, recommend
only your people to others… Christianity was born in the shadows if we
have to go back into the shadows before we can walk out into the light
with out fear then so be it, do what you have to do but start by
promoting and supporting each other in your Church and community.
Now that the Boy scouts have been destroyed – I read that they lost
400,000 boys now that girls can join (not sure if that is true). The
youth needs help now more than ever, especially young boys, and a group
like the scouts was always a great place to start in the shaping of
young boys lives, seriously give thought to forming a scouting group for
the boys of your Church.
I myself have recently returned to the Church – I attend the Latin
Mass and I sometimes go to an Orthodox Church as well – one of the guys
in my gang is Greek and he too has return to the Church and talked my
into attending – I first visited an Greek Orthodox church when I live n
Illinois for a wedding and I loved it, can’t believed in took me this
long. I left the Church over twenty years ago because I got tired of
weak feminine priest preaching to the men to relinquish more power to
women – equality and SJW programming had infiltrated the Church way back
then… so I left… but despite my wicked ways I never stopped believing
in my creator and I know I have lots to answer for when the day comes…
lots.
I do not want to ramble on here about my own theories, and I will not
get into a discussion on Masonry, but Masonry, for many men is good for
them, just as the military, for many men is good for them, and just as
the Church, for many men is good for them… but Masonry strayed from the
path of it’s true intention long ago and it is not going to find it’s
way back, as for the Church it too has strayed, it needs new leadership,
strong leadership, it needs to be purged of certain men that occupy
positions of power with in. there are rumors and stories that Pope
Benedict was actually forced out by a certain cabal in the Vatican that
has a, shall we say, liberal agenda, and the stories of his poor health
were a lie – Popes stay on the “throne” till death.
There are several Christian brotherhoods that have formed in the last
few years, some of them came and went and some are still around, some
took their cues from The Iron Legion blog – mines did, and I know of
others – and I have been in contact with many of these groups but alas…
as I myself was looking for a certain type of men to fill my army, it
seems that I myself do not quite fit the bill for the type of men some
of these organizations are looking for – because it is not enough to be a
Christian… everyone wants to find… and believe that they are – true
believers.
Well, sir… that’s my two cents worth.
Oh, by the way, Michael, it is just by chance that I visited your
site tonight… I am not getting update notifications from your site… in
fact I am not getting any update notification to my email from any site I
am subscribed to except for Bold and Determined… strange.
Dash.
