Trolling the lunatics or anti-Confederate iconoclasm?

"And that horse - it ate LIVING PLANTS."

On August 17th it was reported that someone had sprayed "TEAR IT DOWN" on the base of the golden statue of St Joan of Arc on Decatur Street in New Orleans' French Quarter. The incident actually happened May 5th, well before Charlottesville. (The anti-Confederate hoopla has been going on since banning the Confederate flag awhile back.)

This would seem to relate to the tearing down of America's Confederate monuments across the South, five alone in Baltimore stealthily in the middle of the night this past week.

The Virtual Reality of the Homosexual Universe

Homosexual activists live in their own dream world -- a world of virtual reality where they create the entire universe in their own disordered image. So, as the video below shows, they claim that anyone and everyone is really a lesbian or homosexual including saints of the Catholic Church. Those of us who deny it are just closeted "queers" (their word) who don't want to admit the truth. They demand that everyone join in their game of let's pretend or prepare to be the target of their hate-filled "jamming."

I have five children and have been married to the same man for 42 years. Both of us have lived faithfully according to the vows we made on our wedding day.  And, believe it or not, we still enjoy each other's company. We found out just how much when we took a seven week cross-country trip last fall camping in a 30 foot pop-up. We were together 24/7 hiking, biking, visiting churches, and stopping to see friends and family. It was great fun! I don't think we had a cross word the entire trip. Yes, I am a happily married woman who believes that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman made before God "until death do us part." Homosexual hookups can never be marriage.

On a number of occasions, some brilliant homosexual propagandist has commented on my blog that I must really be a closeted lesbian because I write about homosexuality. The fact is, I write about it because the activist homosexual movement, which is bitter and hate-filled, is targeting everything I hold dear as good and holy. Traditional marriage must go because gays want to play house. Children in the schools must be indoctrinated because gays don't propagate and new homosexuals must be recruited from among the young. Christians must be muzzled and their free speech rights denied because gays demand the entire world say that sodomy is holy and equal to the marital embrace.

Hogwash! I have sympathy for those afflicted with same-sex attraction and I pray for them. It is a heavy cross to bear. But it is no less disordered than any other temptation to evil. Does one really think that sexual attraction to children is normal and good? Yes, actually, the homosexual movement wants to lower the age of consent and some of their "experts" claim that child-adult sex doesn't hurt children but can actually benefit them. Tell that to the parents dealing with the sex abuse of their little ones. Thank God, most Americans have not yet swallowed that bilge as reaction to the Penn State scandal shows.

During the years when the "red peril" caused serious concern about the possibility of nuclear war, some people said they would "rather be red than dead." But for those who love the truth there are values worth fighting, and even dying, for. Joan of Arc, who is being slandered by the gays, stood for those values. Doing the will of God trumps everything, and Jesus, the beloved Son, is our model. He is the way, He is the truth, and He is the life. When we stand for the Truth we stand for Him. Sometimes the truth hurts and sometimes it makes people want to kill you. That's why Joan died as a matter of fact. She was a martyr to the politics of her day.

It is the same in every age when people call good evil and evil good. But the truth remains and must be spoken as charitably as possible. Some will dismiss it and continue to tread the primrose path of dalliance to their destruction, but some will listen and their hearts will be touched and converted. Let us pray through the intercession of Joan of Arc, who lifted the siege against Orleans, that many enslaved by homosexual lust will be freed from their chains.

Joan and Jane: The Saint and the Traitor

Joan of Arc, the Patroness of Les Femmes, shines like a beacon of light in the Church Militant. Had she not saved France from the English, Martin Luther's rebellion 70 years later and Henry VIII's apostasy would likely have taken France out of the Church along with England. When you consider that the underground priests who returned to England were trained in Douai in France, Joan's actions take on even greater significance. She truly did save the faith in France. Read more about this glorious saint who, like many today, was persecuted by clerics of her own Church.

Then there's Jane Fonda who bears a form of the same name, but nothing of the character of the noble Joan. Jane is having a hissy fit because QVC TV cancelled her appearance to plug her new book. (See here.) Jane claims she never did anything to hurt her country which is patently untrue. She became part of the "karma" that treated vets as "baby killers" and the scum of the earth. I lived through that period and I remember the contempt those vets faced at the hands of liberals like Fonda. Read some of her statements here and don't let this traitor who gave aid and comfort to the enemy get away with her claim to "love her country." Read When Hell Was In Session to see what the North Vietnamese were doing to POWs while Fonda was sitting behind an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down Americans. The country should never be allowed to forget what this traitor did to our soldiers and what she continues to do to the tiniest and most helpless Americans by her support for abortion. Pray for her conversion but don't buy her book. Here's the book to read. Aid and Cofort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam.

The Church Militant needs warriors like Joan of Arc who listen for the Word of God and seek to do His will. Such women offer real hope, especially mothers training the troops in the domestic Church of the family. What we don't need are women like Jane Fonda with the hearts and minds of Judas "watching for an  opportunity to betray."

Pray that the Lord raises up an army of faithful women, gathered behind the banner of Christ and Mary, to rout the enemy's amazons and send them fleeing like the English at Orleans. Women are a key component in God's battle plan. When women become who they are called to be in the Church Militant victory for the Lord will follow.
