One of the common features of religious practice these days is that religion has been hollowed out in many ways by paganism. Pagan value systems have crept into our churches, into our synagogues, into mosques.
The religious institutions wear the institution’s mask while promulgating values _opposed_ to the institution.
Nowhere is this truer than the Democratic Party Catholics who proclaim they are pro-abortion.
Joe Biden has been doing this for years. I do not understand how this is acceptable in any way, shape, or form under Catholic doctrine. Catholicism is extraordinarily pro-life, from the papacy to the laity.
Just this week, Joe Biden, the Catholic president of the United States — who constantly brags about how Catholic he is then flies the Progress Pride flag from the center of the White House rotunda as various trans influencers show their breasts — said that abortion is pretty important, and while he is not big on abortion as a practicing Catholic, he says, Roe v. Wade got it right: “I’m a practicing Catholic. I’m not big on abortion, but guess what? Roe versus Wade got it right.”
Biden then criticized states that have passed laws restricting access to abortion. Presumably, he’s in favor of abortion being available under all circumstances. He has been asked publicly in the recent past about what restrictions on abortions he thinks would be appropriate — and he refuses to say which restrictions would be appropriate.
The answer for Biden, of course, is none.
This is the same sort of answer given by the very, very Catholic Nancy Pelosi, who’s so Catholic that when she’s not promoting same-sex marriage, she’s promoting abortion on demand.

In the 1990’s there was a general perception that there was such a concept as neutrality in the public space. For most of American history, the Judeo-Christian value system was the value system that simply prevailed. It was in the water; it was in the air.
Then the Left said, “Wait, that’s a value system and it’s discrimination. If we even have that value system present in any way, shape, or form, we need a perfectly neutral space, absolutely anodyne."
But what they meant was _not_ “need a neutral space.” What they meant was, a space _cleansed_ of all Judeo-Christian tradition. And if you cleanse the space of Judeo-Christian tradition, what fills that space is paganism. Why? Because people have a need to worship. They have a need for a value system that’s going to fill that vacuum.
What fills that vacuum is the system of thought that was there _before_ the Judeo-Christian value system. That system of thought believes what happens in the universe is absolutely inexplicable — that the world around us is a place of chaos.
That system of thought believes pure will and subjective intent matter more than anything else in life; all forms of morality, except ones that are “judgmental,” are just variations on the same theme.
This ultimately leads to an enormous amount of narcissism, a belief that the entire world must be bent only to your whim, that your self-interest is the key to everything sexual and moral when it comes to abortion.
The real question is why the value system that has been promulgated in the United States has been so successful. Why is it that people can proclaim from the White House that they are practicing Catholics while simultaneously endorsing viewpoints that not only run against Catholicism, but _completely undermine_ the very basis of Catholic viewpoints on these issues?
That is what Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have done.

So paganism is the new religion.
What you have now are leftists pretending that, in the name of God, they have to abort their children.
When you drive past a church and you see a giant sign saying, “In this church, Black Lives Matter,” or, “In this church, same-sex marriage is reality,” you realize that the church is just a secular bastion with a pretend cross on top.
Why have all these religious institutions adopted the modernist viewpoint?
The answer is that when paganism showed up at the door, they realized that paganism is a durable viewpoint, and they hoped that by ingesting the paganism, they would somehow be able to convert it into holiness.
But the opposite has happened. As always, when you ingest sin, the sin does not make you more holy.
You have to ingest holiness to conquer sin.
All the denominations that are endorsing this pagan viewpoint do not take their actual religious practice seriously. But they invoke God when it comes to killing babies, which is a form of paganism; it’s a sacrifice to Moloch.

The notion that traditional religion mandates abortion is ridiculous. It’s a broader paganistic reimagination of the moral universe, up to and including these Pride festival clips showing people chanting the mantra, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”
That happened at New York City’s Drag March. Those of us on the Right have been saying for our entire adult lives that this mantra was true; the LGBT community would try to supplant the Judeo-Christian system of values with another system of values. The new regime promulgating that new system of values would like your children to learn the rules of the new regime. They want that value system inculcated in your children.
That is not a shock. But it was denied for a long time because the original ostensible idea purported by the Left was that marginalized people were just joining in with the broader traditional notions of marriage.
But that wasn’t what it was about at all. Instead, it was about a revolutionary theology, a pagan theology that was replacing the old Judeo-Christian morality in the United States.
They say, “We’re coming for your kids.” They’re saying it out loud. And NBC News even admitted that the phrase “coming for your children” has been used for years at Pride events.
Paganism is on the rise. And now they feel brave enough to say it out loud: They’re coming for your children.
If there were a Christian march where people were chanting, “We’re coming for your children,” the Left would go berserk.
In reality, every ideology is coming for children in some way or another. But the salient question is: Is the ideology good or is the ideology bad?
The reason the Left must hide their agenda is one that everyone understands: A pagan ideology that preaches sexual self-satisfaction, identity, and personal behavior should be performed in the world without consequence is not a good morality.
People know that, which is why the Left was trying to hide the agenda.
But now, the agenda is bursting loose.
