Is the Saint right here?
« on: Today at 02:41:56 AM »
“And should you hear any one in the public thoroughfare, or in the midst of the forum, blaspheming God; go up to him and rebuke him; and should it be necessary to inflict blows, spare not to do so. Smite him on the face; strike his mouth; sanctify thy hand with the blow, and if any should accuse thee, and drag thee to the place of justice, follow them thither; and when the judge on the bench calls thee to account, say boldly that the man blasphemed the King of angels! For if it be necessary to punish those who blaspheme an earthly king, much more so those who insult God.”
- St. John Chrysostom

It is certainly consistent with what St. King Louis IX ordered to be done in his kingdom.

It is written of him in is Life:

He labored especially to uproot those vices which prevent the blessing of God, and call down the Divine wrath upon a land. Hence he ordained by law that blasphemers should be branded by the public executioner, and when, one day, his pardon was asked for a nobleman who had been guilty of this crime, the holy king refused it, saying: "I would let my own lips be pierced with a red hot iron, if, by this means, I could prevent all blasphemy in my domains."

   Somewhere I read that St. Pius X, when he was a bishop, probably in Mantua, while he was walking in a public place, heard a man blaspheme and punched him on the mouth.( Sorry I can't find the source for that.) He also had tremendous adversaries while Cardinal in Venice: and his famous quote at that time "Work, Pray, Vote!". 

   He was a Pope that fought against the many enemies of our Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, so that even meant physically at times.

St. Pius X, pray for us.

They lived in times that the police might support actions like this.  Do you think that if any of you men did this today it would end well?  I don't mean to be discouraging, but how many of you single men won't mind spending time in the slammer for punching anyone who blasphemes our Lord?  Also how about the married men?  Do you want to be locked up and taken away from your family?

Maybe we need men like this, but who will go first?  And where are the lawyers, who can get them out of messes like this?

Just asking questions.  I don't know what the prudent answer is.

PS Maybe the ladies should do it and claim assault.  :trollface: (Just my dark sense of humor.  That isn't the right answer either.)

Virtually every "justice system" in the West has been completely taken over by the chosenites or fellow travelers(gentile marxists). 
They have passed a bewildering number of laws that have been designed to neuter every righteous impulse by any White person to protect not just civilization but one's very life or that of their family. 
Have we forgotten how Derek Chauvin literally became the most hated man in the entire world overnight by media manipulation 
for simply subduing an out of control black felon? Who wants to be the next Derek Chauvin? That was the system's intention. 
In Europe you can be put in prison for simply saying you think 5,999,999 joos died in the h0Ɩ0h0αx instead of 6 million. 
Look at what happened to the Jan 6 protestors. They were imprisoned, tortured through deprivation, and stripped of their rights.
And that occurred in what is supposed to be the most free nation on Earth.
We have to choose our battles wisely. We are in many respect in a time worse than pagan Rome.
