Those few who read Dante’s Inferno are fascinated by the fact that the worst part of Hell is not hot, but cold.
There are circles of Hell in Dante’s Inferno. The last, the worst, is cold beyond imagination.
Every other circle of Hell has a particular sin attached to it.
The worst, the Tenth Circle, where people are frozen in the ice forever, is for the sin of Treason.
In Dante’s day treason was not a NATIONAL sin. A Venetian who betrayed Venice for another city would be a traitor. In Dante’s day there were no NATIONS recognized in the way we know them today.
But what Dante, like any other Western European, saw as the ultimate sin had nothing to do with the Ten Commandments.
The ultimate sin was treason.
Many a great story in Northern Europe told of troops dying to man to defend the body of their leader.
We are the people of the Alamo and of Thermopylae.
In fact, the ony way the Persians were able to destroy the Spartans at Thermopylae was to find themselves a respectable conservative Greek who would show them the path around the stronghold of the Spartans, a path only a Greek would know.
For an Indo-European treason is the evil beyond evil.
One professor said that the “so-called traitors” who were spies for Stalin were not traitors. They were “patriots of a different kind.”
The Greatest Generation said they were true patriots, but they were OBJECTIVE patriots.
Every traitor in all of history has claimed that he was merely being objective.
So every Greatest Generation leftist I met claimed he was True Macho, A Hero who happned to agree with anti-whites and anti-American. They were everything a traitor should be, but they calimed it was patriotic.
It got worese.
There were those who knew that the offical stance of the Greatest Generation was pure treason.
They agreed by NEVER DISAGREEING.
The outspoken part of the group that calls itself The Greatest Generation may to have realized how evil they were. But the Silent Majority of the Greatest Generation knew exactly why those who said their buddies had died to rid the world of the white race were crappping on the bodiesofhtemen who died beside them.
But they didn’t say a word.
I am bewildered by comments on the decades of molestation of young boys by Catholic priests. They keep talking about those priests.
But every Catholic bishop was perfectly aware that tens of thousand of young boys were being loested by priests. Not one single Catholic bishop who was not a moron was unaware that bishops were moving those molestor priests around. The average bishop was responsible for more child rapes than any twenty perverts in the clergy.
So I am appalled when someone condemns those pervert priests.
They completely ignore the entire episcopate that let it happen.
I am completely bewildered by those who say that Uncle Bill (MY Uncle Bill, for instance) was in World War II but he never SAID the unspeakble things The Greatest Generation says it fought for.
Like the Catholic Bishops. MY Uncle Bill knew what the The Greatest Generation sanctioned was wrong, but he never said a word IN PUBLIC against it.
They are damned.
The bishops and your conservative Uncle Bill are damned to the Tenth Circle.
Or there is no damnation.

The Greatest Generation:
Forget that oldster sitting at the bar in the VFW hall with his sleeve hat. No need to check him out cause he’s been there since the Lincoln gang invented “veterans benefits” back in those other “60s”. That old fart never had a real job in his life.
The true minority: He was the unfortunate with the “can’t get out it” job of rooting out Krauts from bunkers, pillboxes, and fortifications say, for example, on the way into Geilenkirchen in 44. You never saw him wearing a sleeve hat in a VFW hall. He never cared to remember his dirty job.
Those dirty jobs: We avoid them until we “can’t get out of it”. Pending dirty jobs: “A force in being”.
Necessary jobs: Bob Whitaker, more important in the scheme of things than he is even capable of knowing.

When I get the opportunity, I always make the point that I did not become a
Catholic because of any U.S. bishop. I’d been sitting on the fence about
that decision for three and a half years when John Paul the Great was
elected. That it took me about two and a half more years to make it official
was largely due to not being able to find a priest who actually knew
Church doctrine. (Some dioceses are rife with undoctrinal clergy.)
There are some wonderful bishops now, but mine isn’t one of them. The
age of bishops as administrators rather than pastors is not over, but
the end is in sight. (One example of a pastoral bishop is Cardinal
O’Malley of Boston.)

“I am bewildered by comments on the decades of molestation of young boys by Catholic priests. They keep talking about those priests.

I am no Catholic and what you say could be true. However, I would wager that about 95% of the charges are totally false.
Like the race charges against Duke’s Lacrosse team, charges like these are not investigated, need no evidence, and need no internal consistency for the accused to be totally ruined forever.
It is more than likely that the Roman Church was punishing the victims by moving them (the priests) from parish to parish.
When emotional charges like this are leveled, the mind stops. Even for Bob.
Psychopaths love it when that happens.
It makes them lots of money in groundless suits.

I think that tens of thousands seems overblown too. It’s like one in ten is homosexual. It’s also interesting that openly homesexual protestant clergy or a jewish rabbi is okay. Never the less the bible does say something about the outcome for those who love and make lies
