RELIGIOUS LEFT II: MEET THE FOUNDING "FATHERS" THE BERRIGAN BROTHERS
Vol. I | Issue. 83 | April 21, 2022
As conveyed in my previous issue, American Religious Left is the most destructive cultural force in American history.
The Religious Left, through its fanatical worship of climate change and other ideological incarnations of paganism, represents the neo-pagan, nontraditional branch of the Religious Left. This branch of the Religious Left represents a new secular, non-traditional religious fanaticism. However, they have also captured, co-opted, and exploited several traditional Judeo/Christian denominations using them as a broad megaphone to reach their ready-made audience of worldwide worshipers. Of course, the pulpits of the traditional religions have always been used on some level as a political instrument. However, today the Left has crafted the Saturday and Sunday sermon as a platform for radical left-wing political speech with the objective of creating their zombie following of radical Marxist ideas.
This all started in the 1960s with the collared “Founding Fathers” Catholic Priest brothers, Daniel and Phillip Berrigan. The Berrigan Brothers, both Jesuit priests, became active in organizing and participating in Vietnam War protests, as well as anti-government protests, many of which became destructive and violent. Both brothers ended up in prison, but unfortunately not for long enough.
Daniel Berrigan and brother Phillip, along with seven other Catholic protesters, used homemade napalm to destroy 378 draft files in the parking lot of a Catonsville, Maryland parking lot on May 17, 1968. The group came to be known as the Catonsville Nine and issued the following statement after their actions:
We confront the Roman Catholic Church, other Christian bodies, and the synagogues of America with their silence and cowardice in the face of our country’s crimes. We are convinced that the religious bureaucracy in this country is racist, is an accomplice in this war, and is hostile to the poor.
The Berrigan Brothers cloaked themselves in the mantle of non-violence but gave religious sanctification and inspiration to murderous Marxist criminal organizations such as The Weathermen and Black Panthers.
The Berrigan Brothers, both of whom did significant jail time for their criminal activities during and after the Vietnam War, have been canonized by the Radical Left as idealized prototypes of radical Catholic Clergy leading their flock, not towards G-d, but into the full embrace of violent Radical Leftist social upheaval. This model of preaching the hatred of America from the Judeo/Christian pulpit has metastasized to hold major denominations of Judaism and Christianity in captivity. Pastors, Priests, Reform, and Conservative Rabbis now inculcate their congregations with the talking points of Radical Leftist ideology.
The Religious Left not only preaches hate but also practices it through the embrace of BDS and identity politics. The Religious Left has essentially embraced all forms of radical anti-American, anti-western hate speech with incessant claims of structural, racism, etc.
The clerical Leftest Religious model that was started by the Berrigan Brothers who were posing as clerics has created the blueprint for all of the radicalized Religious Left haters of America, Capitalism, Israel, and Western Civilization. Whose express purpose is to inculcate their Sunday Parishioners, or Shabbat worshipers, and other useful idiots as sheep going to the slaughter of their freedom into the charnel house of Marxism. We don’t even address political Islam here, as that is its own brand of consummate hatred.
What would Jesus do? What would Moses do?
I don’t know, but I do know what these guys were up to…
Catholic Priests are supposed to be celibate, although the Berrigan Brothers had no biological children that we know of, they sired progeny of a different kind. Those are the Radical Leftist clerics who have done so much harm to this country while hiding behind the cloak of a feined religious faith.
So much for celibacy, but you must admit, they have done their best to F America!
