    Quote
    Darkness is deepest at midnight and there’s a knock at the door.

    It startles…you pull up the covers and go back to bed.

    The sun has set on America and we sleep in the midnight of morality.

    Once, if ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs holding hands and lesbians cuddling up to one another was put on TV by a presidential candidate, the stones would fly.

    It’s a bad dream come true.

    Once, if a president gave weapons to terrorists who killed Christians and called for the toppling of a foreign leader who protected them, he would’ve been stoned.

    It’s a strange dream come true.

    The door knocks…we roll over and sleep in the midnight of social order.

    White males are dying before their time; white youths don’t marry but party instead; white women abort their babies; and white ѕυιcιdєs are soaring.

    The faith of their fathers has been cast off; blasphemies lay on their lips; and Churches are turned into taverns and bars.

    Trading places with the Soviet Union can darken the mind and enfeeble the soul.

    The door is knocking and no one gets up to see Who it is as we sleep in the midnight of confusion.

    An Olympic champion impersonates a woman; A woman impersonates a killer; A millionaire impersonates a victim; A billionaire impersonates democracy; and a bunch of left wing Jєωs impersonate Republicans.

    There’s an identity crisis adrift. Trumpsters live in an imaginary time zone. The fifties are gone and babies don’t boom. Babe Ruth is now Abdul and TSA’s at the ballpark.

    There’s a knock at the door as we sleep in the midnight of political control.

    Patriots are ignored and smeared; Political correctness is dictated by Jєωιѕн autocrats; Political blackmail is committed on Capitol Hill; and Jєωs legislate from the bench.

    Democracy is awarded to the highest bidder and you’re nothing. You’re not even a number, you’re a digit.

    It’s a knock at midnight that scares you out of your sleep.

    “Who’s there?” you cry. No reply. You ask again but you won’t get up. “There’s no justice in this world,” you say, and go back to bed.

    Sleep on dreamer, sleep on. The FEMA camps are stocked with widescreen TVs and Dunkin’ Donuts has the concession stands.

    You can die in your sleep (and in your sins) and not hear a thing.
    Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war. ~ Psalms 143:1 (Douay-Rheims)

    Surprised no comments?

    Living the nightmare is hard to acknowledge.
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • This is by far the best article I've read from Br. Nathaniel.  That doesn't mean I don't think he's a shill though.  

    But awesome article!

    A shill for who?  Please provide some specifics so I may better form an assessment of what you say.  Thanks!

    My Orthodox friend says to ignore "Brother" Nathaniel because he is a seriously bad faker. No Eastern monk ever uses the name "Brother", he is so fake he can't even get that part of their spirituality/traditions right.

  • When there really is a knock at the door at midnight, it'll mean you're being rounded up and taken to a FEMA camp that WILL NOT have widescreen TVs or Dunkin' Donuts.
    "Let us thank God for having called us to His holy faith. It is a great gift, and the number of those who thank God for it is small."

    Your friend is wrong.

    Letter from the Chief Hierarch affirming Brother Nathanael's affiliation as a monastic with the Russian Orthodox Church.

    http://www.brothernathanaelfoundation.org/pics/BNAffirm.png

    QUOTE:

    "To Whom It May Concern

    "This is to confirm that Brother Nathanael (Kapner) is an Orthodox Christian monastic (novice) under the spiritual direction of his father-confessor, His Grace, Bishop Jerome (Shaw).

    "Brother Nathanael is a regular communicant of the Holy Mysteries at the Synodal Our Lady of the Sign Cathedral in New York City and continues to be a member in good standing of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.

    "There is no objection to Brother Nathanael receiving the Holy Mysteries in other Orthodox Churches.

    "(Signed) + Hilarian

    "Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America & New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia."

  • Sounds like one of those strange little "Autocephalous" Orthodox groups.

  • I really wish Brother Nathanael was a Traditional Catholic. He makes very good points. Perhaps he will receive the grace of conversion one day.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    Newchurch says the same, in other words, about trad Catholics.
