Throughout Western history, the Church and the State have been parallel, sometimes-overlapping, often-competing structures. When one became too corrupt or tyrannical, or crumbled into decay and disrepair, the other stepped in and took over for a time.

I think this construct has been the Secret Sauce for the rise of the West over the past millenium.

I think it's time for Jesus to take the wheel, again.

That is all.

The result of the upcoming conclave will likely decide if The Church is going to step up, or say ‘hold my beer’ to the state on corruption and incompetence.

Pray, because it seems like a coin toss at this moment.

Trying to stay calm.

What Francis did was teach us how much silliness a Pope can emit, that we can all effectively ignore. So, we're actually more chill about this conclave, than the last one.

indeed, the last 1000 years has been the rise of secular (read, satanic) authority, and that pendulum is now swinging in a new direction

in any case i just seclude myself on the margins because out here they can't effectively reach me, just like in THX1138 when he gets to a certain point "budget for enforcement of this citizen is exceeded, cease pursuit" that movie and Logan's Run are great fables for the state of the world today, and if you want freedom you live in the villages far from the centre of government

out here they have no authority, i only answer to my neighbours

Secular authority is not inherently satanic. That would require all past secural rulers, including the Kings of Israel, to be satanic.

that's my position, exactly, and i cite Samuel 8 for reference

Okay.

While I don’t consider the early kings of Israel to be satanic, they certainly were chosen by the hebrews over God’s direct rule. Too interested in being “of the world” like all their neighboring kingdoms… 🙄🥴😢

The separation of Church and state is a gay psyop. Few understand this 😌

If the Church or the State are too closely-aligned, then there is no power great enough to support an individual's peaceful attempt at redress.

I think it is bad for the Church to be too large a part of the State. That is actually a tool for weakening and coopting the Church.

The Church should be a control on the State.

thankfully God has a plan to end this period of tyranny, and it's not long until it is obvious what is happening

about 10 years from now give or take

i anticipate a second incident this year after the aurora in may within the next few months to confirm that the theory that we are coming up to a time like of Noah will get a confirmation, you may see the sky light up green and pink and yellow some night in the next few months

these lights are a sign that it is time for the host to appear and do the Judgement

It is in Greece.

We just need compliance with the natural principle of voluntary exchange. I will think about an app or AI that verify that. Or anyone can build one.

yes but not the woke church, ewww

The real question is: who is really in charge? Jesus?

Trying to separate Jesus from The Church may be the greatest problem 😳
