Tolerance No 5
[Essence of Satanic fumes]
Maundy Thursday, 2017
I am reflecting on the process by which a Protestant church dies, and even the Only Church is severely damaged. Today, on Maundy Thursday, we will see this process at work everywhere.
First is the Fear of the Lord. People are scared of hell, and behave accordingly. They might do so according to a wrong set of rules, and be more or less culpable for it; but the Fear of the Lord is there. This is, for example, the Church of England in Jane Austen's day.
At some point the fear of the Lord goes out of the window; but the buildings, the ministers, the entire apparatus remains. At this point hell isn't part of the conversation anymore. Once hell is not feared, being good is not anymore obedience to God, but a sugary feeling of being good because it makes one feel good. The Church of England becomes the Church of Social Justice or, more broadly, the Church of Feeling Beautiful.
This is a slippery slope, though, and this desire of feeling beautiful will, after a while, not tolerate any encumbrance or obstacle. Why would one, say, condemn perversion? Because a) it's disgusting to God and b) it's disgusting to us.
But once the fear of the Lord is gone a) is out of the window, and once feeling beautiful is the moral imperative this will require willingly ignoring the disgust for perversion, covering its stench with a bigger dose of the new 'perfume', “Tolerance No 5”.
[Which presumably disguises the stench of sulfur!]
In time, the new scent will be used in such doses that perversion will be forgotten altogether, helped by a new vocabulary (“gay”) and a new moral code (“inclusion”).
At this point even the Church of Social Justice is clearly obsolete, and the Church of Feeling Beautiful has taken over. Every mention of God is now either avoided, or inserted into a completely deformed, actually perverted context: God is now the Great Master Parfumier In The Sky, who encourages and inspires us to choke more and more in the fumes of Tolerance No 5, so that we may lose every conscience
[be desensitized???] to the stink surrounding us.
This is now a process common to both the false churches and the Only One. Francis and a good part of the hierarchy openly peddle Tolerance No 5 to the masses exactly as an homosexual Anglican wannabe priest would. The Barque of Peter is completed invaded by it.
I smell the stink as I write this, and I know that this evening the Evil Clown will go around spreading it with a huge vaporiser, his message amplified worldwide by willing and interested (though less and less so) media.
Tolerance No 5 has already factually destroyed a lot of Protestant churches, and has reduced the so-called Church of England to such a state that if the PM were to order, today, to just shut it down, few people would notice, even fewer would complain, and after three weeks the matter would be forgotten altogether.
[Not really, because the Queen of England is nominally its head and Defender of the Anglican Faith!]
Tolerance No 5 will, however, never destroy the Only Church. It will damage it, sure. It might wipe it out of entire Continents, certainly. But it will never destroy it, because a good Lord has decreed that this will never happen.
We prepare ourselves for the next spraying of the scent disguised as fragrance, do what we need to do regardless, and wait for the time when fresh air will enter the door of the Only Church again.
No accounting for strange tastes!
The first thing that flashed to my mind on seeing this was Mons. Paglia’s homoerotic mural in the Cathedral of Terni…
And next, why does the illustration for Easter looks more like an Ascension image than the Resurrection? ... Oakes Spaulding
at MAHOUND’S PARADISE has this informative comment about the artist:
…One might be pardoned for thinking it looks like the sort of cheesy macho buddy Jesus action portrait that a Christian evangelical comic strip artist might have drawn…
Actually, the artist is Victor Delhez, a quasi-surrealist who came to prominence in the 1930s. A Belgian by birth, Delhez would later live in Argentina and Bolivia. He settled in Buenos Aires and became a professor there.
The illustration used on the card is taken from a set of forty that Delhez produced on theme of the Gospels. .. I suspect that a few Catholics would find some of his work offensive. I actually like much of what I've seen, including illustrations to Lord Dunsany’s A DREAMER’S TALES.
But the particular woodcut, above, is pretty horrible, at least in the context of what it is supposed to represent. It deserves all the silly comments that Catholics are currently giving it on social media.
I blame this Argentinian pope for choosing it. Not so much Delhez… [.QUOTE] And I knew I had come across the name of Delhez once before, also in connection with a Bergoglio greeting card. Indeed, here it is – his Christmas card in 2014:
At the time, I asked: “Is there a profound message I ought to get when an ass's ass is by far the most prominent feature, center
foreground, in a Nativity scene?”… Subsequently, of course, we have had reports about Bergoglio’s apparent fascination with poopy
metaphors and lately, his very public visit to a Port-a-potty…
Anyway, here are some reactions to Pentin’s tweet:
