Be Nice, Don't Judge The Truth

Of all the various organizations, governments and institutions in the world, two of the very few whose mission is to pursue the Truth are the Catholic Church and empirical science*. Political parties exist to get elected. Private enterprise institutions, including our universities, exist to get funding. Only the Church and true science need to justify changes through reconciliation or argument with past doctrines and beliefs. Protestant Christianity isn't included because it lives in a no-man's land with its preference for personal interpretation over dogma.

True science doesn't have an institution that defends it. The ethical collapse of Scientific American and the capitulation of most of our top universities to cultural Marxism shows that clearly.

That only leaves the Catholic Church institutionally defending Truth. When we falter or fail, civilization loses its last guardrail and all bets are off.

Europe and Canada are decaying under the weight of mass migration from Africa and Islam. If you haven't seen it yet, check out this video of a 14-year-old Scottish girl defending herself from harassing migrants. She's brandishing a knife and an axe because the police and the men in her town cower in the face of the migrants. Naturally, the authorities arrested her and left the migrants alone.

I really dislike swearing in prose, but this meme captured what is going on in Europe perfectly.


Be Nice, Don't Judge

Recalling my post about nature being red in cilia and membrane ...

The whole model of the world God made is effectively, while not utterly, Darwinian. Violent competition is a part of life at all levels. It is into that world that Jesus came. It is that world that gives us the dramatic conflicts of our lives, conflict being a necessary element of any story. Our lives are art expressed through our bodies and our actions and that expression forms the story we author with our lives.

It is in such a world, deliberately and purposefully created this way, that we are called to serve God, love our neighbors, forgive each other and care for the least among us.

The Church and its associated NGOs have been behind mass migration everywhere, actively enabling it by supplying the manpower necessary to bring the migrants into the various countries. The Church and the NGOs have received contractual payments in the hundreds of millions of dollars to do just that. 

The Church has utterly disregarded the Truth and the reality of the world in favor of a pathologically feminine world view that insists that the only thing Christ really taught was be nice, don't judge. The end result is perfectly summarized by the meme above. The "Jesus Christ" may be inappropriate language, but only technically. It speaks a truth deeper than the simple exclamation suggests.

And now we live in a world where the countries that have brought in these migrants are on the verge of widespread sectarian violence. This was perfectly predictable for anyone who was honest and clear-eyed about the cultures being imported.

France Used To Be Catholic

In France, several cities are turning to teen curfews to suppress the growing violence and drug trade being perpetrated by the African newcomers.

Several French cities have this summer introduced a curfew for teenagers in a bid to curb youth violence, but even some mayors are not sure if the ban should be enforced. While some experts say that curfews for minors do not reduce crime, one French mayor begs to disagree. "It's become very quiet," said Cédric Aoun, the mayor of Triel-sur-Seine located 35 kilometers west of Paris.

It may seem racist to suggest that the violence and crime is not being perpetrated by the native French, but the data suggests otherwise.

In Catholicism, observable, empirical data must be folded into our holistic model of the world God created for us. Paraphrasing St. Thomas Aquinas, if empirical data conflicts with Church behavior, then Church behavior must be wrong and be reformed. Be nice, don't judge has led to massive increases in rape across the West. That tells us that be nice, don't judge is not Christ's sole commandment.

The rape is bad enough. Wait for the sectarian violence to kick off in earnest and see just how effective be nice, don't judge is then.

* - I'm using empirical science as a shorthand for physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and similar fields. It's early and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. This is the best I can do. Feel free to suggest alternate formulations in the comments.

The thing about illegal immigration, is that most people who go into a country illegally are doing it by crossing a border into an adjacent country. So Europe may get a lot of Muslims, because they have either land borders or short-transit water borders. But the people coming into the US are not primarily from Muslim countries, they are from Latin America. Which is almost entirely Christian, and predominantly Catholic[1].

And when you look at it from the perspective of the Catholic Church, they are seeing these people as fellow church members who they can help, and not as illegal immigrants.

Note that I am not saying that this is some sort of conspiracy. As you can see from the article I gave the link for, they are quite open about it. And it is in fact perfectly reasonable for a church to be looking out for their own members. Please don't make the mistake of thinking that the interests of the Church and the State align, they frequently do not.

[1] This is why I am rather bemused by your current fascination with immigration into Europe. As far as I can see, their immigrants are very little like our immigrants, and so their problems are unrelated to our problems.
