- Pope – tool or tool maker?
- Cardinal Gerhard Müller sees this election for what it is about — a new world order (his important statement below)
Let the bunker be a commitment to spreading the truth
More than those of us at this humble blog site think somethings afoot, that this is no mean election . . . the controls and inhibitions in place with COVID-19 designed to inhibit working people . . . the Constitutional implications of that (and now Justice Ginsberg’s passing) . . . Trump and a conservative entourage being diagnosed with COVID (symptomatic and asymptomatic) . . . the influence China exerts over the UN and American institutions . . . the biased social media censorship . . . the rioting being encouraged by political leadership . . . MSM’s blatant hostility to Trump , to conservatives, to the truth, . . . the incredible amount of money being pumped into our elections by billionaires to defeat Trump and conservatives . . . the nomination by the Democrats of a corrupt degenerating politician, a cipher on his own, a manipulable place holder, . . . and most recently as remarked on by our dlh in the previous post – Pope Marxist’s latest encyclical…
But whatever opportunistic malevolence might be behind all this, they can be beaten as they are subject to exposing themselves to people of good will . . . hopefully enough and in time for this maniacal bunch to be “dis-elected”.
As regards Pope Francis, well the Church’s history is riddled with some very bad actors, but if Francis is the magisterium, as Biden claims to be the Democrat Party, well the Church and the Democrat party are in trouble, and may God’s grace protect this country from their personal error prone edicts. In defense of the Church and God’s Word, may Bishops in the case of the Catholic Church find their tongues to correct this Pope through their magisterium responsibilities. They must choose what to preside over. May Christendom in general rise to the occasion.
Speaking of speaking out, one more Cardinal (retired) has issued a warning about this election and it won’t make the Holy Father happy. Pope Francis pretty much cashiered this guy after making him a Cardinal. Even Francis could not upset the apple cart (expectations) too much to start, cleaning house takes time.

Vatican’s former doctrine chief: US election will decide if ‘democracy’ or ‘dictatorship’ leads world
October 1, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Whether Donald Trump is re-elected or ousted as President of the United States will have a generational impact on whether America or China is the dominant power on the world stage, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told Breitbart News in an interview Thursday.
“The outcome of the U.S. election will determine whether the U.S. remains the leading power in the world — for freedom and democracy — or whether a communist dictatorship will assume that role for the global community,” said Müller, who is the former prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “The world is looking to America because this fateful election will determine the future of democracy and human rights for decades to come.”
“The rivalry between the U.S. and Communist China is not a sporting competition for the first or second place of superpowers,” he continued. “It is about the irreconcilable alternatives of democracy or dictatorship.”
From World War II to the Cold War, “the free world owes the American people the salvation of Western civilization, which has its foundation in the freedom and dignity of every person,” Müller said, but warned that this legacy is “now being challenged” by China. “Because the U.S. is the first power in the free world, it must also put a stop to the imperialist grip of a communist superpower that seeks world domination and allow the Chinese people and other oppressed peoples to enter the community and solidarity of free peoples.”
The cardinal also called on both the Catholic Church and rank-and-file Christians to heed the significance of the election, from the “truth of the absolute value of every individual person” and “freedom of religion” to the “deeper dimensions of what is at stake at this moment in world history, rather than offering a judgment based on subjective sensibilities and ideological preferences.”
“Three points are decisive in the upcoming elections,” Müller summarized. “First, the ‘yes’ to life against abortion, second, freedom of religion against the mainstreaming of gender ideology, and third, the mission of the United States to defend democracy and human rights against dictatorships.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden is campaigning on a plan to enshrine virtually-unlimited abortion into federal law at taxpayer expense. By contrast, Trump has worked to oppose federal funding of abortion and the abortion industry, including restoring and expanding the Mexico City Policy (which bars foreign aid to abortion groups), excluded organizations involved in abortion from family planning funds, and endorsed legislation to fully defund Planned Parenthood and ban late-term abortion.
