I look back now on my Catholic upbringing in horror. My grade school was dismantled by groovy nuns who believed that teaching at all was too authoritarian, so they jettisoned that. Similarly with my high school but they had something else going, a psychopathology about winning at sports.
Then I had a classical education at a Jesuit university, learning the tricks of that trade, which I have seen deployed at the Supreme Court and elsewhere, where Catholics display their skills at rationalizing anything, ad maiorem trumpi gloriam. They combine this with competitive zeal.
Fox News is a very Catholic organization, at its soul, and we see the hallmarks. They are focused on winning at all costs and can rationalize absolutely anything, including mass killings. These misanthropic Catholic morons allied themselves with evangelical Christians, selling their souls.
Evangelicals have an understanding of existence that is utterly antithetical to Catholicism, not to mention life on the planet itself. Hooray for Catholicism. After their dismal record resisting fascism at the birth of the Third Reich they are doing it all over again, now under the sway of Trump.
What dumbasses. But they are winning—I’ll say that for them. Now what? All they care about is winning and nothing about the wreckage they leave behind. Bill Barr is the latest product of Catholic schools to disgrace himself completely, with the Kavanaugh hearings still ringing in our ears.
Clearly, Catholics are the first place to turn to find meatheads for your war machine, should you have one. They will fight like hell for an unworthy cause.
