The Footprints of the Jesuits by R. W. Thompson.
The civil institutions of the United States could not have been formed without the separation of Church and State, and could not continue to exist if they were again united. Christianity could not maintain its primitive purity if politics and religious faith were mingled together; nor could the State preserve its capacity to provide for the general welfare if subjected to the dominion of ecclesiastical authority. Our success as a nation is mainly attributable to the fact that these sentiments are deeply imbedded in the American mind.
A party pledged to restore to the pope the temporal power which the Italian people have taken away, must necessarily be politico-religious in character, because it proposes to interfere with the temporal affairs of one of the European nations. And if the attempt to do this is justified upon the ground that such restoration involves religious duty, any one can see that the obligation is the same in the United States as in Italy, for the laws of God do not shift to suit the exigencies of human affairs.
In the times before the Reformation the temporal affairs of Governments were required to conform to the commands of the ecclesiastical authority—that is, the pope—and it was held to be a necessary and essential part of religion that this union should be continued, no matter what might be the degree of popular ignorance and humiliation. The founders of our Government started out upon a different theory, believing it to be[Pg 4] their duty to separate "the things of God" from "the things of Cæsar," so that each could reach perfection in its own distinct sphere. Therefore, it is clear that a politico-religious party in this country, pledged to unite Church and State in Italy, against the expressed will of the Italian people, not only must oppose one of the fundamental principles of our Government, but disturb the public peace.
To my mind it is also clear that a nation acts politically, and not religiously, when it decides upon the structure of its temporal Government—that is, whether its affairs shall be managed by an absolute or elective monarch, or by machinery provided by a written constitution. I have, therefore, refrained from the discussion or criticism of religious belief—as it is understood in the American sense—any further than it is made the pretext for the reversal of this opinion, so generally prevalent in this country. It would be an evil day for the people of the United States if they should be persuaded to permit any power whatsoever, whether temporal or spiritual, at home or abroad, to share with them any portion of their political authority, or to dictate, in any degree, the measures of their civil polity.
V.P. JD Vance on Sunday Blue Laws
AI Overview
Vice President J.D. Vance supports Sunday blue laws, arguing that the government should protect the Sabbath as a sacred day. In his book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, he advocates for legislation that restricts commercial activity so workers can rest, spend time with their families, and fulfill their religious obligations.

These traditional restrictions, sometimes called Sabbath laws or Sunday closing laws, were historically adopted to promote Christian worship by closing businesses or halting certain forms of retail. While most modern blue laws have been repealed, several states still maintain restrictions on Sunday commerce, such as limits on auto sales or alcohol availability. Vance's promotion of these policies centers on the idea that the state has a role in safeguarding societal morals and protecting time for church.

Boston homicide detectives are investigating a death at a Mattapan rental property that city records tie to the husband of Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
Officers reached 25 Malta St. at 1:52 p.m. after a caller asked police to check on a person there, department spokesperson James Moccia told CBS News Boston. They found the individual dead, Moccia said, adding that he had nothing further to share and that the homicide unit had taken the case.
A second department spokesperson, Sgt. Det. John Boyle, characterized the matter to The Boston Globe as a death investigation. Police have not named the deceased or disclosed a cause of death, and few specifics had surfaced by Saturday evening, the Globe reported.

Red crime scene tape ringed the property and a cruiser idled out front that evening, CBS News Boston reported. An officer stood watch at the front door, and officers on scene would not say whether anyone had been staying there, according to Mass Daily News.
“The Epstein scapegoat?”
“The Epstein scapegoat?”
It has been fascinating watching the Epstein narrative unfold as well as seeing nearly all the blame for the heinous crimes of sex trafficking be placed on one individual and few of his overtly evil counterparts such as Bill Gates, the Clintons, etc.
The narrative seems to be a form of cover, designed to hide (and thereby extend) the trafficking operations that run through Masonic lodges, religious bodies (ie. Vatican), and govt. agencies, all while steering the public to associate sex trafficking with a single prominent villain
Ultimately, concealing the ancient bloodlines, papal families, and occult orders that have been behind SRA and human trafficking for centuries
But not only is Epstein a scapegoat for the hidden hand, he is also a scapegoat for the current system. His apparent exposure is fueling mass distrust toward our current power structure, thereby playing right into its controlled demolition. In order for this new system to rise, the old must be brought to ashes…

That night I dreamed I was in Battle Creek looking out from the side glass at the door, and saw a company marching up to the house, two and two. They looked stern and determined. I knew them well and turned to open the parlor door to receive them, but thought I would look again. The scene was changed. The appearance now presented was like a Catholic procession. One of the company bore in his hand a cross. Another had a reed. And as they neared the house, the one carrying a reed made a circle ‘around the house, saying three times, “This house is proscribed. The goods must be confiscated. They have spoken against our holy order.” Terror seized me, and I ran through the house, out of the north door, and found myself in the midst of a company some of whom I knew, but I dared not speak a word with them for fear of being betrayed. I tried to seek a retired spot where I might weep and pray without meeting eager, inquisitive eyes everywhere I turned. I repeated frequently, “If I could only understand this! If they will tell me what I have said, or what I have done!” I wept and prayed much as I saw our goods being confiscated. I tried to read sympathy or pity for me in the looks of those around me, and marked several countenances of those whom I thought would speak with me, and comfort me, if they did not fear that they would be observed by others. I made one attempt to escape from the crowd, but I saw that I was watched, and I concealed my intentions. I commenced weeping aloud, and saying, “If they would only tell me what I have done.

Jesus would not have endorsed the Democratic Socialists of America | Opinion

In the same year that Americans are celebrating the Declaration of Independence and the principles of liberty found there, members of the Democratic Socialists of America are making political gains.
At my institution and in churches around the country, Christians are revisiting an old question: Was Jesus the first socialist? The idea is appealing to many of my students and fellow followers of Jesus.
Our Lord's emphasis on helping the poor and the first disciples' sharing of resources in the book of Acts suggests a natural alignment with the tenets of socialism. However, discussions around these teachings ignore the central characteristics of socialism; that is, the use of force.
Economic studies of government laws and policies always seek to distinguish between the "seen" and the "unseen." Economists ask both the question of what the immediate effects of a government policy will be but also ask what the likely unintended consequences are of the same.
What is seen in Jesus's teaching is a call to radical generosity. What is unseen by many readers of this teaching is that the call was always directed at the individual's heart, not the Roman authority or tax collector. Socialism is defined by the concentration of power to forcibly achieve a redistribution of wealth. Socialist policies are not voluntary but rather coercive, resulting from a monopoly power the government holds over the use of force.
There is no evidence that Jesus endorsed the forcible redistribution of wealth by political authorities. When confronted with a question about the distribution of a family's wealth, Jesus replied by asking who appointed him a judge or arbiter and instead cautioned against envy (Luke 12).

Border Bishops: The Catholic Church's Migrant Trafficking Operation
The Catholic Church is the largest immigrant resettlement program in the world, responsible for up to 30% of all refugees imported into the US

It’s turned into an efficient assembly line. Right before the checkpoint, a welcome center staffed by volunteers. They offer food, shelter, legal representation, and transportation. When ready, they’re taken to a point of entry. The checkpoint of course being completely swamped, prints off ticket #46,992,137 for their court date 37 years from today. They walk across the border, and into the very next building - another welcome center. Next stop: Nashville, San Diego, Richmond. Wherever they want. There’s (There ARE) offices like this in all 50 states, and you fund them. Not just through taxes, but also your Sunday offerings.
Because these aren’t government offices, they're churches.
The invasion at the southern border has developed into an untenable situation. Last year, the state of Texas became a minority White state for the first time in its history. By the end of this year, 10% of the population of the entire country will be illegal.
As tensions flare between state and federal governments with natives seeking to exert control over the situation, people are evidently starting to have enough. They see the impact free access to the country's wealth has on housing, competitive wages, and social cohesion. Someone is to blame for this, someone has to be held accountable and begin to mitigate for the damages.
This period of global migration is the largest in human history, so there is plenty of blame to dish out. Chief among the responsible is our governments, who are more than capable of turning any border into Passchendaele overnight, but refuse to do anything approaching this. Indeed, there are a number of secular NGOs and international institutions which have played a heavy hand. Interestingly, however, the single largest and most responsible operation has gone largely unblamed: simple, good-hearted, Christian charity.
In terms of individuals assisted in settling into the US, Christian churches make up the lion’s share with millions of migrants a year brought into the US through their networks on record. The Catholic Church alone is the largest (and possibly oldest) immigrant trafficking organization in history, and they claim this proudly. They have deep roots within the Western political system, including the International Catholic Migration Commission in Brussels, which has advocated for migrants directly to EU officials and European states since the end of WW2.
Truth Is Coming Out About This False Religion

Did the ancient Babylonian 'Queen of Heaven' become the Roman goddess? Discover the shocking, hidden connection between the pagan divine feminine and symbolism in Rome, in this fast-paced exploration of ancient mythology.
In this video, we explore how Babylonian religious cults, symbols, and myths travelled from Mesopotamia to the modern day, shaping "Romanism" and modern false teachings of the divine feminine.
The video addresses significant concerns regarding the incorporation of Gnostic Jesus, mysticism, and paganism into Christianity. We explore how this creates an "unholy mix" that deviates from core scripture. The discussion aims to highlight these theological differences and guide viewers toward a deeper understanding of true Christianity.
As stated, showing and discussing these things is not meant to condemn individuals, but in the hopes that it may help raise awareness and draw viewers to the true Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ - so that souls may be saved at the cross and people set free from the bondage of counterfeit philosophies.
For reference, the topic of discussion is in reference to the Queen of Heaven mentioned in Jeremiah 44:19, and warned about in other parts of the Bible. I'm still learning how to talk about these things in love and hope to grow in my walk as I go by day to day and be sanctified.
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. - 1 Corinthians 1:24

Mandatory Bible study in Texas ‘risks fuelling anti-Semitism’

Mandatory Bible reading for Texas school students has split the state’s religious Right, with Jewish leaders warning the move risks fuelling anti-Semitism and eroding religious freedom.
The Republican Texas state board of education voted to approve mandated Bible study in the school curriculum for more than five million students, with a spokesman declaring: “We’re going to stop watering down American history.
“We’re going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state.”
The changes, which will take effect in 2030, are the latest step in Texas’s drive to bring religion back into the classroom and will see children study stories such as David and Goliath, Daniel and the Lion’s Den and Noah’s Ark from the age of six.
However, the measure has prompted fierce opposition from Jewish leaders, who argue it is unconstitutional and will fuel a rapid rise in anti-Semitism across the state.
Rabbi Josh Fixler, associate rabbi at Congregation Emanu El in Houston, Texas, was among those who testified against the measure. “I absolutely think that this will contribute to anti-Semitism,” he told The Telegraph.
“If anti-Semitism is about making Jewish people feel isolated and pushing Jews out of public spaces and having Jews feel that their religious tradition is less than, then kids hearing these messages in public schools is absolutely going to isolate them.”
He added: “It’s going to result in non-Christian students, including my own kids, feeling alienated and isolated in spaces where they should feel belonging.
