Jorge the Humble Slapper
“…If you can honestly say that your own personal threshold for slapping a woman was crossed by what you saw, then I’m thankful that you’re not married to one of my daughters, and you should be too, in fact, even more so.
“While I’d stop sort of categorizing the hand slapping incident as an act of ‘violence against women,’ neither was it a case of some a poor old man being ‘yanked around.’
“Call it what you want, but something ugly happened. What it revealed (yet again) is that Jorge the Humble is a wholesale fabrication, likely created by the same diabolical agents that labored to place him on the balcony at St. Peters back on 13 March 2013.
“On the other side of the spectrum, where the majority seem to reside, are those who are reacting as if this is one of the most egregious and embarrassing things Jorge has done since he assumed the stage name ‘Francis.’
“I got news for you people; it’s not even in the top 20!
“If only this much outrage was engendered when he accused Our Lady of being tempted to call God a liar, or when he claimed that the Divine Law is too difficult for some people to keep (which necessarily implies that God is unjust), or when he even went so far as to claim that God wills that we should occasionally break the Sixth Commandment, and on and on the blasphemies and heresies go.
“So, why are so many given to selective, disproportionate outrage?
“Thanks to the present crisis – that is, the one born at Vatican Council II – many a sincere self-identified Catholic has grown numb to the magnificent affronts that have been hurled at Our Lord and Our Lady over the past six decades. We have arrived at the point where many no longer have a sense for what blasphemy and heresy is, much less how offensive it is.
“Even so, we largely still have that basic human instinct, imparted to each and every man by way of the Natural Law, that tells us right from wrong.
“What Jorge did was just plain wrong and most of us know it.
“Sure, some commentators, like Walsh, are moved to downplay what Bergoglio did, if for no other reason than to score a few points against liberal hypocrites. Still, the majority of us are aware that not even a grumpy old man whose arm has been ‘tugged’ (as Vatican News describes it) has the right to treat a woman that way.
“In other words, it seems that most of us still remain sensitive to certain evils, recognizing them for what they are when we see them; e.g., an animal being abused by a human, a child being exploited by an adult, or a woman being slapped by a man.
“That’s the good news.
“The bad news is that far too few among us are nearly as sensitive to those acts of evil – like blasphemy and heresy – that infringe upon the Sovereign Rights of Christ the King and Our Lady, the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, this isn’t going to change until such time as we are given, by the grace of God, a true Holy Father.”
