I cringe when I hear priests and other Catholics hold up MLK Jr as some kind of american hero. It is a well known and published fact he was paid big bucks to go places and stir up crowds. He attended schools in Tennessee run by communist agents. His hobbies at night, according to multiple sources were drinking and prostitutes. His Ph.D was mostly copied from another Ph.D at the Boston Jesuit institution he attended. The Jesuits even admitted it after denying it for years. There are 8000 canonized Catholics saints we can always fall back on. King's name was Michael, he never had it legally changed.
Yes, but not for these things is King honored, but rather for the reasons he was killed. That is: for becoming a figurehead representing a legitimate effort to overcome unjust oppression against black Americans: & beyond that, of any effort to resist institutional injustice, & so accordingly that against the unborn. Thus, as a nationally recognized totem - which very much includes his invocation of the Catholic principle that an unjust law is no law at all - despite King's well known personal weaknesses & depravities.
Comments are moderated. Please be respectful. Argument (in the classical sense) is welcome, however crude, or obscene remarks will not be posted. I am more lenient with ad hominem attacks since so many people these days don't seem to know how to engage in a discussion without them.
