Savior in Chief?

Last Thursday, I was censored by Facebook. Again.

Yes, my most recent post, “Check Your Snark at the Door, Sister” — which very diplomatically expressed my light criticism towards Biden parading his “Catholic faith,” — was rejected by the powers that be over at Facebook.

Apparently, if you don’t have anything nice to say about Biden, you can’t say anything at all!

Sadly, this encroachment on my personal liberty of free speech, is nothing new. Every time I post something even remotely “pro-life” in stance, Mark Zuckerberg and his minions over at the tech mega-giant reject it. It’s happened now five different times.

But this time, it is just egregious. You read my post — 200 of you commented on it. There was absolutely nothing in it that warranted a censor!

Unless, of course, seeing a woman’s collar bones is now scandalous…

Which begs the question…what the hell is going on here?

How have we gotten to this point, where tech giants and liberal politics are now in bed together? And what does that mean for the future of this country? I don’t know about you, but my mind can imagine some downright terrifying scenarios, which…unfortunately, I doubt are strictly out of the realm of possibility, all things considered.

As though censoring my article examining Biden’s faith was enough, today, the Internet decided to pour salt in my wound.

Because what comes across my desk, but The New York Time’s headline story for today:

Twist the knife, why don’t you!

In case you didn’t catch that, allow me to repeat: the headline cites Biden as “the most religiously observant commander in chief” and that “his Catholic faith grounds his life and his policies.”

I literally laughed out loud when I read that.

Are you kidding me? His Catholic faith grounds his policies?

I’m not going to sit here and judge the man’s life, that is between him and God. And like him, I too, have a lot that I will need to answer for, when I reach the Pearly Gates.

But I can comment on his policies.

They are anti-Catholic. But you know where I’m going with that. You heard me vent about that in last Thursday’s censored article.

But what I want to pause and focus on tonight, is the terrifying slight of hand that the NY Times is expertly executing in this article. So seamlessly, that you may not have even noticed it.

The Ascendant “Liberal Christianity.”

Liberal Christianity.

Headed by, none other than our Savior in Chief: “Catholic” Joe Biden.

Quoting from the article: “And with Mr. Biden, a different, more liberal Christianity is ascendant: less focused on sexual politics and more on combating poverty, climate change and racial inequality.“

Do you see what they’re doing? They’re splitting the Church in two.

The Church, arguably the only organization left that has the means and influence to threaten the power of the woke, liberal left. They’re trying to undercut it and divide it in two, by creating the narrative that this “new liberal Christianity,” headed by the sound-of-mind and inclusive Joe Biden, is the future of the faith.

Joe Biden’s “Liberal Christianity” is full of love and inclusivity — not focused on “sexual politics” (aka, protecting the unborn, defining marriage and gender on biblical and scientific principles) — but rather, combating poverty, climate change and racial inequality.

They’re trying to redefine what it means to be a Christian. Belong to the “old, unwoke” Christianity, and you’re just a cotton headed ninny muggins with their head buried in the sand, concerned with “sexual politics.” OK Boomer — why don’t you go answer your rotatry phone…I bet it’s another closeminded homophobe calling.

No. The new liberal Christianity has evolved. It’s higher thinking. It’s woke.

First of all, news flash: Christianity has always been concerned with combatting poverty and seeking racial equality. Have they never heard of social justice?? That movement is flourishing in the Church, and is the foundation of Christian thought and the Christian walk. Hello, Mother Teresa!?

And secondly: the Bible is unchanging. Thou shall not kill…last I checked, still stands. Love your neighbor…yep, still in effect.

But here’s the real kicker.

Again, watch for the slight of hand….quoting from the article: “Mr. Biden’s policy priorities reflect those of Pope Francis, who has sought to turn the church’s [sic] attention from sexual politics to issues like environmental protection, poverty and migration.“

Did you see that? They’re trying to align Joe Biden and Pope Francis as the new “woke Catholic” sect that’s here to “rebrand” this whole Catholics-are-stuck-on-pro-life-garbage image. They’re trying to instill doubt and lure those wavering away from the sound dogma and teachings of the Church.

The fact is, Catholics, as it stands, are rather divided over the issue of abortion. Those who ardently adhere to the faith are staunchly against abortion, and are prolife. But those who are Catholic in name only tend to pick and choose which of the biblical and Church teachings they’re going to adopt, and pro-life views are often not on that list.

So what the NY Times is expertly doing here, is luring that crowd to the “dark side.” Oh look, you see? Biden AND the Pope are woke. They’ve turned away from pro-life policies. YOU SHOULD TOO.

Ah, the power of suggestion. Manipulation at its finest.

Turns out, though, that when it comes to Pope Francis, they’re absolutely wrong.

And this is the last thing.

I know, everyone and their brother has an opinion about Pope Francis. The media love him – because he will say things just vaguely enough, that the liberal media can take his soundbites and twist them to make it look like he’s abandoning traditional Catholic teachings, and is a radical force to be reckoned with.

Which, is not all wrong.

But when it comes to abortion, Pope Francis could not be more clear: abortion is wrong, and the Catholic faith is pro-life through and through.

Quoting Pope Francis in an audience he had with US bishops from January 2020, “protecting human life is the preeminent social and political issue.”

He could not have been more clear: “It is the most fundamental right. This is not first a religious issue; it’s a human rights issue.”

I will end with a powerful quote from Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, who released this statement just a few days ago on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, after President Biden and VP Harris celebrated the decision as an advancement of women’s rights and health:

“It is deeply disturbing and tragic that any President would praise and commit to codifying a Supreme Court ruling that denies unborn children their most basic human and civil right, the right to life, under the euphemistic disguise of a health service. I take this opportunity to remind all Catholics that the Catechism states, ‘Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.’ Public officials are responsible for not only their personal beliefs, but also the effects of their public actions. Roe’s elevation of abortion to the status of a protected right and its elimination of state restrictions paved the way for the violent deaths of more than 62 million innocent unborn children and for countless women who experience the heartache of loss, abandonment, and violence. We strongly urge the President to reject abortion and promote life-affirming aid to women and communities in need.”

Game. Set. Match.

“This is what the Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” Ez 37:5

  4. In Pope Francis’ own words:
    Pope Francis has consistently criticized the human and spiritual damage caused by global capitalism, widening inequality, and corporate sweatshops. Last week, he blamed the “god of money” for the extremist violence that is taking place around the world. A ruthless global economy, he argued, leads marginalized people to violence.

    In 2013, he released a remarkable 84-page document in which he attacked unfettered capitalism as “a new tyranny,” criticized the “idolatry of money,” and urged politicians to guarantee all citizens “dignified work, education and healthcare.”

    “Today we also have to say ‘thou shalt not’ to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills,” Pope Francis wrote. “How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?”

  5. Great post Caralyn! It’s strange because when I dare speak up for my prolife beliefs, a lot of people tell me that I’m in the wrong because there is racial injustice and poverty to fight. But none of these issues are mutually exclusive! You can have a more moderate/liberal view of many different issues and be prolife. And there is no such thing as a liberal or even conservative Jesus by political party standards. The Bible is what we must base our faith off of. Jesus is Lord and King, and that gives us the most blessed hope!

  6. I enjoyed your previous blog post and this one too. You have a firm opinion and some very powerful points to make. I do need to ask if you read Pope Francis latest book Dare to Dream? Have you read his encyclicals with the Holy Spirit as guide?

    The Pope trying to get us away from binary dialog as counterproductive.

    To make real progress in saving the unborn requires new approaches as we’ve discussed previously. Law, as Saint Paul said, confirms our sins, mercy, on the other hand, brings a new path forward.

  7. Tbh I left FB. My account still exists but I haven’t used it since 2017… and honestly, I don’t miss Facebook. The good thing about blogging is that you have freedom of speech on WP. It hardly seems worth it posting on highly-censored platforms like FB. I’m pro-life too… and I just can’t be bothered to use Facebook. This platform which should be promoting authenticity has really gone downhill over the years, in my humble opinion.

    It takes strong people like you to stand up to the Facebook Giant. Good for you!! Try to ignore the haters if you can… those with a voice, especially those with large followings, are bound to attract more haters (sadly).

  9. Everything I’ve read of Biden’s action, executive orders, etc. have caused me great concern. I sincerely believe that the US will quickly pivot from censoring Christians to persecuting them. I know that doesn’t seem possibly here, but I think it is. For example, Biden’s order that transgender girls should be allowed on girls sport teams includes the penalty of withholding federal funds. I’m sur that was written with Christian schools in mind. First, start squeezing them out of society. Second – openly persecute.

    Prayer, prayer, and more prayer. May God keep us empowered by the Holy Spirit to never forsake being open about our faith, never deny it. Just like the first apostles and early church.

  11. Amen! Very well said all around, Caralyn! From the censoring of free speech to the blasphemous “ascendant liberal Christianity,” I completely agree with your thoughts on all of it! I even heard today that Facebook is banning the posting of Bible verses now. I have warned about the anti-Christian New World Order many times on my blog and when I was on Twitter, and I have taken heat for it many times. Even from those who claim to know Christ. I even had a guy write a post about me and he said I was doing “incalculable damage to the name of Christ” for speaking the truth about the NWO. It’s sad that some who profess to know Christ will not stand for the truth. It is also very sad that some believers think it’s okay to murder babies. It is also sad that people believe anything Joe Biden says about being grounded in faith in God. I pray people stay rooted in the truth of God’s Word even as they try to ban and erase God, His Word, and our faith from society. Thank you for always speaking the truth boldly! God bless you!

I share your faith-based conservativism, but I also like how you show acceptance and kindness even to others who may not agree with you. The polarizing politics has already started, and touting the President as a spiritual Commander in Chief is not any better or different from how this same thing was done with the last administration. We as voters and citizens need to keep a level head, know what we believe, and not allow one-sided communication sources lead us blindly. My allegiance goes first to Jesus, then the state. It doesn’t make us any less patriotic to put our faith first. But to blend the cross and the flag historically speaking has never worked out well. Either the flag will run over the cross, or the flag will perform heinous crimes in the name of religion. I’m writing from a Christian perspective. The same can be true for any marriage between religion and politics. Thank you for your leadership and powerful voice. When you’re ready to run for office, you’ve got my vote. 🙂

  19. You hit the nail on the head, Caralyn, with how the world is trying to divide the church. It’s a tactic of the enemy, and it’s affecting Protestants, too. I’m disturbed by the worldly views I see consistently expressed by people I know who claim to be Christians. I feel like they are preaching their own gospels that do not include Jesus. When we stop keeping the Bible as our authority, we can easily be led astray by the opinions of the culture around us.

    As far as abortion goes – I’ve been a teenage mother, a low-income single mother, the mother of a child with a disability, and experienced a pregnancy where I was told my baby wasn’t going to make it & my own life could have been in danger. I have four beautiful children (and a grandchild now!) and I have never regretted the choice to keep my babies. Every one of them is a blessing from God.

    2. Hi, hiddenstories (interesting nom de guerre; would love to know the meaning behind that).
      The Acts “socialism” was entirely voluntary, not government imposed. History of socialist STATES always involve silencing dissenters and removing “undesirables” who do not tow the party line. It is a failed experiment in government. Benevolent dictatorship is better, but also unsustainable (see 1 and 2 Kings).
      Democracy is the only system that can work until too many people start to realize they can vote in pols who will coddle them with “benefits” like Social Security, which was the first major step into socialism and prolonged the Depression for more than 10 years. Just sayin’. 😉

      5. You’re sincerely welcome. Last night I watched a program on Daystar in which a rabbi reminded us that we need not fear, only keep our eyes and hands/arms lifted toward Heaven/the Lord, as that is where our help comes from. It was just the word I needed before I went to sleep! And I think of all the many times in both the Old and New Testaments that God tells us, “Take Courage!” or “Don’t Be Afraid!” because the “I AM” is here with us. It is the enemy who causes fear–because he himself is terrified, knowing his reign is coming to an end one day soon when Jesus returns. Satan is operating in all those who seek to silence Christians, and those who are led to forsake Biblical values–they are blind, confused, ignorant…and some are evil. As I fell asleep I remembered the vow I made in 2011 that I will not let the “rocks cry out” louder than my voice–in standing for the Lord who has given me Everything, and saves me everyday. So I continue to pray for you and our Brethren, that we not feel tossed about in the current climate–so much fear and oppression. We must cling to the Truth that God is for us! He fights our battles all the way to Victory. He strengthens and comforts us with His Word. He is our Good Good Father who loves us unfailingly, everlastingly–our HOPE is IN HIM.

      3. That is the only answer, really; I stopped praying for God’s blessing on our country a few years ago and instead starting praying he withholds His judgment. Abraham bargained for God to not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for a mere 10 righteous (and even 10 couldn’t be found) — how many righteous are in America?

        (Sorry if I’m a downer tonight — I try to be more upbeat with you… you make me want to be more optimistic than I usually am).

      1. Gab (dot com) is the free speech alternative to twitter. If you set up a group (i.e., the equivalent of a fb page) it’s the free speech alternative to fb. Gab has its own servers– like physical things owned and operated by the owners. (The “face” of Gab is the CEO (I think) who is a devout Christian.) As I said, it’s free speech so some corners can get a little unwieldy. There are rules. Basically do not do anything illegal. But aside from that, you block or mute whoever you want. They don’t unless they see child porn or something. There has been a huge migration to Gab the last few weeks so there have been some hiccups but they are tolerable. Oh. And its funded in three ways. Pro memberships. Donations. It’s Gab Shop. No data selling. No blocking you for criticizing someone or asking the wrong questions.

  28. Interesting read and I like learning about other peoples feelings and thoughts. I’m no liberal or conservative, hell I don’t know what I am anymore. You have a problem with liberal Christianity and I have a problem with Conservative Christianity. In particular the white republican Jesus that highlights one sin (abortion) and ignores countless other sins. I struggled with the abortion issue when I chose to vote for Biden but in my opinion he was the lesser of two evils. I don’t want to debate and I respect your opinions. I enjoy reading your stuff even if I don’t agree. I’m going to post a poem about abortion soon called “Unwanted Love” I hope you take a peak at it. Take care

  30. BBB I loved everything about this post!!!! You always stand your ground in an unwaivering faith!!!!! Joey Biden can play president all he wants, his true colors are being shown everywhere from the recent funding of abortions worldwide to his multiple signing to remove any of the good President Trump had in place……YUP what a wonderful fine christian man we have in the white house. Great facade or so he thinks. His big UNITY message holds no water when you look around and see all the riots, abortions, murders, hate crimes and yet there he stands saying we can ban together and get things done TOGETHER. Really??? A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:8). God Bless you for taking a stand in your free speech rights.

  31. Often, I read your articles and am impressed with your honesty, transparency and level-headedness (which seems to be lacking these days!) I’m sorry that you were censored by Facebook, but not surprised based on what I know about their progressive stance. Sadly, conservative voices and Christian voices have come “into the crosshairs” of a number of popular social media sites in recent months. I have distanced myself from some forms of media because it is so easy to get lured into fruitless, negative, divisive discussions that accomplish very little. Americans must begin to speak up though for what is right and speak against what is wrong while we still have the opportunity to do so. As for President Biden, I will simply quote from a scripture Matthew 7:16-17, “By their fruit you will recognize them…likewise every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” This passage is referring to true and false prophets, but it applies to people in general. This is a time when as Christians we need to return to the tenets of the faith, How can one do that? One way is by reading and studying God’s word, the bible. This is God’s love letter to us as His children. In Proverbs, we read, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light on my path.” In this increasingly dark world, we need that light now more than ever! Shalom to you!

  33. Not surprised one bit. I’m trying not to get sucked in to the media circus because it isn’t good for my mental and spiritual walk. I pray that God has a plan in all this. All through the Bible he used sinners and the misguided to fulfill some of his biggest accomplishments. I pray he might be doing the same thing now. Either way, my eyes are on Jesus. The media can say whatever they want, we know the truth. So long as we pray for Truth and Justice, we can’t go wrong, right?

  41. Well and courageously stated, as always. The powerful left-wing mainstream news media is effectively swaying public opinion to call good evil and evil good. I am not a Catholic. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One thing that our churches have in common is a strong central leadership. This is a powerful deterrent to doctrine being driven simply by popular opinion. Since your church is so much bigger than ours, I pray for the Pope and the other leadership of the Catholic church.

  43. It’s stunning how much FB is censoring any opposition to the thinking. I was thinking earlier today how I’m not seeing many of my outspoken friends on FB recently, but figured that they, like me, might be drawing back from social media or moving to other sites. Then found out many of them have been in FB jail for the silliest reasons. Hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Thanks for speaking out … even in your snark I feel you are quite tame compared to the vitriol that has been spoken again conservatives and especially President Trump. Keep fighting the good fight …

      1. My original comment was supposed to say “opposition to the left”. And yes, “FB jail” is a real things. My friends have joked about it, but just moments ago, a leading conservative columnist known state-wide where I live, announced that she was just allowed back on FB after being banned for several days. She didn’t hint at what the offending post was about, but no doubt had to do with either a pro-life stance or the election.

      3. It takes a little getting used to. Like FB at the beginning you have a lot of people trying to fill up feeds with stuff to buy and garbage, but it’s easy to block them. I think that it will get better as more of people join … bottom line is that there is a point where we have to choose between the ease of FB or the desire to be free of the hold it has on its users. Honestly, I feel myself sucked back to the ease of FB way too often.
