  • I had saved this from last year, but I can't remember where I saw it. Maybe on CI?

    -------------------------------------

    Remember, when you fire up your barbecues and light your bottle rockets this "Independence" Day:

    What are you celebrating?

    A nation that did not acknowledge the Triune God Almighty in its Constitution, but which rather made passing reference to a demiurgic, impersonal, deistic 'creator' that serves merely to 'endow' men with Masonic, libertine 'rights?'

    A nation that enshrined the damnable, hell-spawned Masonic error of religious 'liberty' (i.e., indifferentism) into its founding docuмents?

    A nation whose revered chief architect - namely, Jefferson - was a blaspheming infidel who dismissed St. John's Apocalypse as 'the ravings of a maniac' and compared the miracles of Our Lord to a 'dung heap?'

    A nation that refused repeatedly to amend its Constitution to acknowledge itself as a Christian nation as early as 1863, when the nation was torn in two and was more in need of God's grace than ever?

    A nation that handed its entire currency over illegally to international zionist bankers in 1913?

    A nation that went into action immediately at the behest of its zionist masters by waging two wicked world wars that destroyed effectively what was left of Old Europe, turning Christendom over to zionists and their communist lackeys?

    A nation that has fought numerous costly and immoral wars in service of the satanic, illegitimate zionist state of 'Israel?'

    A nation that has ever failed to defend the sanctity of marriage by permitting states to legalize divorce?

    A nation that made murder of unborn babies a 'right' in 1973, leading to the wholesale legal slaughter of hundreds of millions of innocent children, robbed not only of life on earth but life in Heaven as well?

    A nation that classifies blasphemy and soul-destroying pornography as 'freedom of expression?'

    A nation that elevates the sin of Sodom to the level of Holy Matrimony?

    To you deluded Americanist fools who parrot the lie that 'America was founded on Christian principles': WAKE UP, YOU ZOMBIES! Get the needle out of your arm, the pipe out of your mouth, the blinders off your eyes. Patriotism is a virtue, yes - a minor virtue. And being a true patriot means praying for and working for the America that ought to be, not glorying stupidly in the wicked, non-Christian, godless, Masonic republic that America has ever been and still is to this day. America did not 'fall' from God's grace; America was born bereft of His grace. Now we have seen the fruits of that unholy birth.
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

  • I'm not doubting that anything on the list is true but nevertheless, I love my country.  I would not be practising the traditional Catholic faith today had it not been for my fellow Americans helping me to know and understand the Church's doctrine.  There are indubitably Americans interceding for us in Heaven (e.g. St. Frances Xavier Cabrini).  I was born on American soil and fed from American milk, American crops and American animals.  Yes, there are a lot of self-inflicted problems in this country but for at least one day of the year maybe we can spend more time thinking about the things we can be grateful for rather than lamenting the things that trouble us.

  • I agree with everything stated above. But I would also say the one positive attribute  of our form of government and religious liberty is that it has allowed the Catholic church flourish  and grow here throughout it's history. American Catholics have been able to save their souls since the founding of this country even though at times they faced fierce prejudice from the Protestant majority.

    I agree. Had America been influenced by any religion in its constitution, it would've certainly been the Church of England of its colonial power, which was relatively anti-Catholic until about 200 years ago.

  • I thought the same today.

    What are we celebrating?  Our loss of freedoms, one by one, and the moral degradation and demise of our country?

    But, most in this country are delusional and live in a cream puff cloud.

  • We're going to go to the riverpark and celebrate pyrotechnics, food trucks, and inflatable Jupiter jumps.

  • I am staying home on the 4th of July weekend. Going absolutely no where
    until Tuesday morning.
    My neighbors will be firing their fireworks tonight. Even though illegal here,
    the cops do nothing about it.

    Same here.  They are illegal and the cops do nothing.  Maybe after a few hands get blown off, or a few homes burn down, they will.

    I've had to listen to them now since Saturday night.  And we're not talking little pop firecrackers either, I'm talking about ashcans (that's what we used to call them a long, long time ago - they are loud and dangerous).  

    Our weather conditions are not conducive to irresponsible citizens using them tonight either - dry and windy.

  • In my opinion, if the day will come when America (North and South) recognises the Social Kingship of Christ, the continent should be renamed after Christopher Columbus, who was her apostle and spiritual father. It was he who received an extra-ordinary calling from God to discover the New World, and I believe that he died as a saint. Mgr. Rutten, who was the Bishop of Liège, hoped that he would one day be elevated to the sacred altars.

    Same here.  We are to have the same kind of filial love for our country that we do for our parents.  Just as if our parents had gone astray, we still love them and pray for their conversion.  While it's OK to objectively call out their faults as necessary, this bitter country-bashing (and that's the tone of the OP) is contrary to the virtue of patriotism (it's a Catholic virtue).  So good for you, Clemens.

  • When I think of our country, I think of the Spanish missionaries and how they converted vast parts of the modern-day United States.  Just look at all the cities in California named after saints.  I think of the French martrys who tried to convert some of the Indians in this part of the country.  I think of our kinship with those in the south who were largely converted through Our Lady of Guadelupe.  MOST of this country was originally Spanish Catholic and French Catholic.  I think of Columbus and Ferdinand/Isabella.  In the end, the Prot Brits took over, and I look at that as a takeover.  Just because they installed a corrupt form of Masonic government and imposed it on our nation doesn't mean that I don't still love the country for what it once was and what it should have been.  If I were French, I wouldn't hate France just because the Masons took over there too (right around the same time actually).  Or if I were Italian, I wouldn't hate Italy just because the Masons took over there as well.  No, those French and Italian Catholics love their country due to the historic Catholic past and mourn the fact that they have been taken over and subjugated by the Masons.  And that's how I feel about the US also.
