What Kennedy, Cuomo, and many other Catholic Democrats were to abortion, Rubio, Vance, and many other Catholic Republicans now are to violations of just war doctrine. They all sell out innocent life and their Catholic faith for politics. This is a test and they are failing it.

Enough with false prophets, liars, and sycophants like Graham and White. I earnestly pray that no harm comes to the U.S. and Israel, but to pretend that ours is some righteous cause with the wind of Providence behind its back is delusional and blasphemous. Our nations are absolutely drunk on the deadly sins of pride, lust, greed, wrath, acedia, gluttony, and envy, and on the blood of the unborn to which even much of the Christian right now turns a blind eye out of loyalty to a leader it has transformed into an idol. We do not grieve or repent of these sins but glory in our own military and economic power, and in our fantasized greater virtue relative to other nations. We wage war not reluctantly and in a spirit of humility, but with a libido dominandi and callous indifference to the effects on civilian populations – including the deaths of tens of thousands in Gaza and hundreds of thousands in Iraq, to mention only two especially appalling examples. And then we shrug and move on to the next thing. This is hubris tempting nemesis, pride going before a fall. These idiotic Elmer Gantrys should re-read their bibles, where they’ll find that the history of the people of God is portrayed not as one of virtue rewarded with endless military victories and material blessings, but rather one of continual moral corruption and apostasy on which divine punishment is repeatedly visited.
