Part III Dr. Bryan Ardis, Catholics, and Jews, and just about everybody else...

Friends,

Here's Part III of my rant involving Bryan Ardis and Catholics. It is also the end of the rant.

In these dire, dire times, it is sanity we need, not Jack Chick. Oh, yeah: And it's wrong to scapegoat.

Dr. Bryan Ardis asserting the Church is the mastermind behind the Covid farce and that it is "evil, pure and simple, from the eighth dimension" (if I may quote the famous Buckaroo Banzai comment out of context) stands as a truly lunatic observation. It's like saying Jews, as a group, are behind all the evil in the world. But "Those Jews! They did it!" remains a widely held theory about a lot of things because, like the Church and unlike the Freemasons (or since the latter are so secretive, maybe so), Jews are everywhere and often in positions of power and influence. (Freemasons might be, but they work to occlude themselves from sight.) Right now, Jews constitute the Biden Regime's top people, while in comparison, all most all U.S. Supreme Court justices are Catholics. Representatives of both groups seem concentrated in positions of great power and influence. That gets noticed.

Yet what does that prove, exactly?

Does it prove it is religion that's the issue? Very religious groups of Jews exist, but they are no more likely to be found in high levels of power than Trad Catholics would be. The "System", the "Deep State" loathes them. Thus, the more Orthodox Jew or Trad Catholic you are, the less likely you'll find yourself in "The Club". Biden himself, an immorally putrid man, is (supposed to be) a Catholic. Anthony Fauci was a Catholic at some point. George Soros was born a Jew. In any event, those kinds of bad Catholics rise to the top levels of power.

And all that is just one reason why many scapegoat either Jews and Catholics. The "religious" among them are spotlighted while the anti-religious ones (Soros is an example) are ignored. Interesting they're both also often accused of destroying the "Christian World", isn't it?

• And regarding Jews and Covid: the classic paradigm of every Jewish mother is that she wants her son to be a doctor.
  
• Jews play a stupendous role in both mainstream and non-mainstream medicine.
  
• So, Dr. Ardis, why don't you suspect Jewish medical elites with foul play? Would that be racist? Or anti-Semitic?
  
• It's no wonder Dr. Ardis demonizes Catholics and not Jews, any more than he why he refrains from demonizing Muslims. Neither Jews nor Muslims nor tolerate this paranoia, even in those cases where it isn't paranoid at all. (Evil people exist in every ethnic/religious group!) With the Muslims, such a accusations as Ardis makes will lose you your head; with the Jews, expect to be a lot poorer and marginalized. Alas, as E. Michael Jones knows all too well, any criticism of any Jews brings harassment and headaches only the strongest-willed can endure.
  
• Yet it is precisely that sort of Jewish defense which only makes people who really hate Jews qua Jews hate them all the more. Bad players can use it as a get-out-of-jail-card. It is badly self-defeating for Jews, as Jones has so often pointed out. It was self-defeating for the Church to cover up the sex scandals. It is self-defeating for Black Americans to use it, as well, as in the case of George Floyd. (Actually, Freemasons used to do the same thing: my mother told me about a child-molester back in 1920s Columbus, Ohio, who was caught molesting children but he got off completely because he was a Mason.)
  

"Human shields"

Individual or groups of immoral men can use either the Church or the Jewish community or being Black to shield themselves from scrutiny or even the law. This is truly using fellow humans as "human shields". They know they'll be defended. That no longer works for the Church because the sex scandals were so indefensible and because the Church is so openly loathed by our hedonistic society. But Jews will stop at nothing to defend Jews, no matter how bad certain individuals or groups might be, because they think – or claim to believe – examples of Jews doing bad things will trigger the Holocaust all over again.

 

Catholic and Jewish parallels

Ironically, except that Catholics usually submit profusely to criticism, as exampled by Bergoglio apologizing to Canadian Indians recently, Catholics and Jews have a lot in common, to be sure. They're both "elitist" in a sense. Religious Jews claim they have a special and absolutely one-off relationship with God no one else has, and Trad Catholics claim to be the one, true Church that Our Lord personally founded. (Vatican II Catholics are all over the board on that, and probably most don't believe it. Talk to Bishop Barron if you want more weasel words about Catholic belief in your life.)

So why the age-old fight between Jews and Catholics? An essential parallel between them actually holds the answer:

1. As Jews claim to be the one and only "Israel of God", so Catholics indeed claim to BE Jews, the "Israel of God", themselves – a claim going back to St. Paul. (Protestants have always hated that, as do the Orthodox. If Ardis is either of those, that might explain a lot.)
   
2. That was the origin of the eternal fight between Jews and Catholics, that and the obvious corollary in Catholic thinking that if Jews want to be true Jews, they need to convert.
   
3. But the Vatican II Church has absolutely flat-out run away from this ancient dogma...
4. ...Yet the Church can't. Why? To do so is to deny the point of the Church: to blaspheme the Incarnation, Christ, and His Sacrifice, which establish the Seventh Covenant. And that is because:
   
5. The whole point of the religion: i.e. Christianity (Historical, sacrament-based Christianity) is the Seventh Covenant, the capstone Covenant of the Six Old Testament Covenants, and the reason God established them.
   
6. To say certain groups need not covert is ipso-facto to damn the Church's entire raison d'être for existence in the first place. And it is that that serves as the kernel of the trouble Modernist Catholicism has – and that ruined the Vat2 Church. As they don't believe the ancient dogma, they can hardly get anyone else to believe it, either.
   
7. In any event, the two-millennia-long contention between Jews and orthodox, Catholic Christians is unfortunately just baked into the cake from the beginning. But it need not be – ever – violent. And in any case, of course, Jews born to Jewish mothers – the best possible way to be a Jew – do convert to Catholicism from time to time. Look at the Twelve Apostles. Or Saul of Tarsus, a.k.a. St. Paul. Our Lord Christ Himself, Who was born to a Jewish mother, and it from her he received both His humanity and His Jewishness. It is hardly a new thing, and were the Vatican II Church's 60-year-old "protocols" about converting Jews had been practiced from the beginning, we'd have no Church at all!)

The Nazis and Communists

So, that's the theology behind the fight between Jews and Catholics. It's an exclusivity Protestants have always rejected. Totally unrelated to all that, however, new problems arose in the modern world in the last 100-plus years, such as the Theory of Evolution and the resultant Nazis and the Communists. Nazis want to kill all Jews to improve the evolution of the human race. Literally murder them all. (The original Fascists, like Mussolini or Franco, were not anti-Semitic. Hitler had to order the Italian Fascists to kill Jews.) Communists want to absorb them into new Socialist Man. "A Jew who is a Socialist is a Socialist first", goes an old saying. Same with Catholics, as per the example of Bella Dodd.

Since the Holocaust that the Nazis perpetrated on millions of Jews (and other groups) in their worship of Darwin, however, the Western collective guilt regarding the Jew was – and is today – very powerful, and in this guilt abides a the major reason why modern Israel exists. Had there been no Hitler, there probably wouldn't be a Republic of Israel. Antagonism between Jews and Christians would still have existed, sure, since that seems endemic for the two religions, as explained above.

But the Nazis did exist. Some Jews (by no means all) insist that "Christian Europe" either gave rise to Nazism, that Nazis constituted a form of Christian, or that the Nazis were caused by Christianity's traditional attitudes toward Jews. These want to see Christianity crippled and thus no longer a threat to them. Yet oddly, when it comes to Islam, which from time to time would simply slaughter entire populations of Jews, or force them to convert to Islam en masse, as Muhammad himself did, this sort of query never seems to arise.

1. Whether any postwar churchmen believed that Nazi origin tale (it wasn't true; the Nazis were narcissistic, sexually and morally perverted pagans motivated far more by Charles Darwin and self-love), by the early 1960s, Christians certainly felt guilt about what happened, and many Churchmen, (as I keep saying in other posts), felt the impotence of the Church in having positive effect on the world.
   
2. Had the Church "declared war" on Nazism, doing continent-wide what the Dutch Christians (Protestant and Catholic) tried to do in 1941-42, the Nazis would have shot every priest and nun they could get their claws on. Staring with Pius XII.
   
3. It would have been horrific, and yet afterward, the Church's sacrifice would have elevated its standing in the world tremendously. "The blood of the martyrs would have been the seed of the Church's renaissance." Vatican II would never have been called.

But that's not what happened, and today any criticism of Jews remains taboo; it is immediately condemned as being "anti-Semitic". (Except, of course, when Muslims do it.)

• But no one and no group is above criticism. It's a mistake to try to single out anyone for being beyond any sort of reproach.

Dr. Bryan Ardis

So Dr. Bryan Ardis avoids accusing the Jews, even though, of all groups of people, they are truly major players in "Big Med", and government, etc. Dr. Ardis is also clearly ignorant of ALL of these modern Catholic problems I've mentioned above. For whatever reason, whether raised anti-Catholic or just burned out after a lifetime of fighting hopelessly against "Big Med" (he was a chiropractor), Ardis comes across as utterly exhausted and a bit crazy.

And he certainly believes the whole Church is evil. He thinks it has always been evil. He refers to dates in the 1850s about the Church trying to take over America – that's pure Know Nothing/American Party (1844-1860) Protestant boilerplate. Yet despite all this, Ardis is a major player in fighting against the deadly Covid tyranny that threatens to enslave us all.

 

That he thinks the way he does is outrageous and depressing; that it isn't answered is intolerable, but Ardis himself is necessary. That puts us in a non-kosher pickle, doesn't it?
