Topic: Ann Barnhardt on God's Wrath

[Weisshaupt]

Yes its Ann Barnhardt again
I put her name in the tread title so you can avoid clicking on it it you choose, as a I know her brand of ardent Catholicism isn't always popular round these parts , but I often  find what she has written to be truthful and interesting ( if you can stomach the "you have to be Catholic and Catholic in the right way or you are going to hell" sermons, which I can )

God’s wrath cannot be assuaged at this point because we, the people of the former United States and Western Civilization, are the most guilty, culpable, iniquitous society to ever exist by many orders of magnitude. In terms of our guilt, we are far, far guiltier than the people of late Rome. There were aspects of late Roman culture that were prima facie worse than our culture, specifically the torture blood sports – not that we aren’t racing towards that at a dead sprint ourselves – but we are far guiltier than the late Romans, and thus deserve far, far worse. And that is exactly what we are going to get.

How can we be orders of magnitude guiltier than the late Romans, or any other culture for that matter?

Because we are willfully ignorant due to extreme intellectual and, especially, moral laziness. If there was ever a group to whom the words “YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER” applied, it is us. And we have absolutely, positively no excuse whatsoever for our ignorance.

I don’t care how many bee-ess college degrees you have, because all “education” today consists of is pumping and dumping information onto multiple-choice tests and occasionally faking a short-answer or occasional paper. That isn’t education. That’s beta pack animals learning the gestures of submission to the alpha. This culture is operating just epsilon above the animal plane – and those are the “college educated” people. The inner cities are operating on the purely animal level. But we COULD have been the most truly educated culture ever.

The most damning aspect of the internet won’t be the pornography, I suspect. How can I possibly say that?  Because the internet pins every single one of us into a moral corner because it completely removes any ability to argue that “I didn’t know – I didn’t have the information.”

We have nailed Christ to the Cross, and when He looks at us and asks us why, we have the unmitigated gall to say, “It’s not my fault. I didn’t see You there. You should have spoken up.”

WE are going to burn like no other culture has burned before, including Rome, because we have, by far, the most guilt. Ignorance due to laziness in the face of unprecedented freedom and license, wealth and leisure time, potential education, technology and availability of information, and the knowledge of and physical presence of Christ Himself is why we must and we WILL burn. No one has ever, ever deserved it more.

There are no innocents, Mother Church in Rome included.

And I suspect that the blanket condemnation of all will not go over well with many, but hey, we either like freedom of speech or only parrot words that pretend we like freedom of speech.

Anyway, I don't see us any better or worse than Rome, I think such competitions are pointless and miss the larger picture...we are certainly no better than Rome, and I think the hurt we are in for could be much worse than theirs, so Ann should be pleased to be vindicated on that score, but the "we should have known better" game is lost before it is played...I mean how far back do we have to go before people don't have to be asked if they should have known better?  How many generations are officially deemed to be worthy of condemnation?
