This week I continue my once-per-month series of posts regarding an informal study I undertook in the early 1990s regarding rock and pop music. The purpose of my study (and the background to it) can be read in the first installment of August 7, 2017. If you have not read that post, I strongly encourage you to do so before reading this installment. I will only repeat here the seven (7) evil elements that pervade today's music:
1. Violence/Murder/Suicide
2. Nihilism/Despair
3. Drug and alcohol glorification
4. Adultery/ Fornication and sexual perversion
5. The occult
6. Rebellion against lawful superiors
7. Blasphemy against God, Jesus Christ in particular, and the Church
The exposing of the bands/artists continues.
Elton John
Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947, Elton John is one of the most prolific rock musicians of all time. He is a sodomite who flaunts it, and advocates for sexual deviancy every chance he gets. He was raised in Pinner, Middlesex, and was a child prodigy who could play the piano by ear at the tender age of three. His father, Stanley Dwight, was absent most of the time, and abusive to his son when he was around. His mother was stern, but not abusive, and he was mostly raised by his maternal grandparents. When John decided to become a musician at age 17, his father wanted him to become a banker, but he refused. He had much musical training, including attending the Royal Academy of Music, so he felt he was ready to make it on his own. He didn't like the classical music in which he was trained and wanted to be a rock star.
At age 15, he started a blues/soft rock band with his friends called Bluesology. By the time John was 18, the band had become quite popular, and his band was touring with American Soul and R&B artists, such as the Isley Brothers. His life would be forever changed at age 20, when in 1967 a record producer introduced him to Bernie Taupin (b. 1950), a poet who could write lyrics but wasn't a polished musician. Elton John had the musical component, but wasn't able to write lyrics well. The two worked together from then onward with John writing the music to Taupin's lyrics. Dwight then decided to change his name to "Elton John" in homage to two members of Bluesology: saxophonist Elton Dean and vocalist "Long John" Baldry. He made his legal name Elton Hercules John on January 7, 1972.
In 1969, John (with the ever-present help of Taupin) released his debut album Empty Sky to critical acclaim. In 1970, his eponymous sophomore album Elton John, gave him his first hit single with Your Song, which catapulted him to fame. As of this writing, John has sold over 300 million albums. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and for 31 consecutive years (1970–2000) he had at least one song in the "Top 100 Hits" according to Billboard magazine. His tribute single "Candle in the Wind 1997," rewritten in dedication to Princess Diana, sold over 33 million copies worldwide, making it the most successful single in both U.S. and U.K. history. Billboard magazine lists him as the third greatest artist of all time (behind The Beatles at #1, and Madonna at #2), and Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #49 on its list of "100 influential musicians of the rock and roll era." He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1998 for "services to music and charitable services." In September of 2018, he will begin a three year "farewell tour," ending with his retirement from the music industry in September 2021 at age 74.
Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and Wicca
 |
| Bernie Taupin (left) and Elton John (right) in the early days. Both were into Satanic and Wiccan practices. |
Bernie Taupin is deeply immersed in Wicca, and introduced it to Elton John. In an interview for US magazine, Taupin stated that John's "home is laden with trinkets and books relating to Satanism and witchcraft." (7/22/80, pg. 42). Earlier that year, Taupin told People magazine that he too decorates his walls with "Satanic art," and said, "the occult fascinates me." (6/23/80 issue). Not surprisingly, in 1991, Bernie Taupin self-published a book of poems called The Devil at High Noon. That Elton John hates religion in general, and Christianity in particular, is well-established.
According to the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, John had previously made the public claim that, "From my point of view, I would ban religion completely." On MNBC he stated, "Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."
In 2010, John blasphemously claimed Our Lord Jesus Christ was a sodomite when he called Him a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems." (See The Guardian, 2/19/10, "Sir Elton John Claims Jesus was Gay" by Adam Gabbatt).
The song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was inspired by the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz. The movie was based on a book of the same name written by Frank Baum, an occultist who claimed he had "channeled" the idea from an other-worldly source. (See Michael Patrick Hearn edition; The Annotated Wizard of Oz, New York: Clarkson N. Potter, 1973) In the movie, the protagonist (Dorothy) and her friends are following the "yellow brick road." In Heaven, it is said there are "streets of gold" (See Apoc. 21). They go to see the "all knowing, all powerful" Wizard of Oz. Only God is omniscient and omnipotent. It turns out the Wizard is just a fake. (Wiccans denigrate or even deny the Christian God). Lastly, they are told that the power to obtain all they want (courage, brains, a heart, and going home) "lies within"--a common theme in witchcraft and Satanism; independence from God because we have the potential to be like God.
John's (really Taupin's) lyrics to the song state:
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toadOh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
The "owl" is notorious in both Wicca and Satanism, being representative of the pagan goddess Lilith.
In I've Seen the Saucers, he sings:
Tune in, wouldn't it be something
Rumors spreading into panic
I've seen movements in the clearing
Someone sent you something satanic (Emphasis mine).
Again, more references to witchcraft in Saint:
To sweeten up the witch's brew
You had a better way of working magic
A little mystery in your eyes
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
You took the whole world by surprise (Emphasis mine).
Elton John: Pervert Who Hates God
 |
| David Furbish and Elton John on their "wedding day" with the two children produced by a surrogate mother. Poor children! |
John has attempted suicide at least twice. The song Someone Saved My Life Tonight is dedicated to his friend Long John Baldry, whom he credits with saving him from committing suicide. John was depressed over his pending marriage to his first lover Linda Woodrow, and ultimately decided not to go through with the wedding. Despite his massive wealth ($500 million as of 2018) and libertine lifestyle, all it brought him is depression. John once reportedly took 60 Valiums and jumped into a hotel swimming pool yelling, "I’m going to die!" On yet another occasion he turned on an oven and laid his head in the range, but subsequently aborted the suicide attempt. Ironically, he glorifies suicide in I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself:
Being part of mankind,
Think I’ll buy a forty-four
And give ‘em all a sunrise.
Yeah, think I’m gonna kill myself,
Cause a little suicide (Emphasis mine).
He married Renate Blauel in 1984, but she was seen as merely his "beard" (term for a woman who pretends to be with a man to disguise his homosexuality). John is noted for his outlandish costumes on stage, most of which portray him as feminine or androgynous. John divorced Blauel and declared himself a bisexual. Later, he said he had enthusiastically embraced homosexuality. John "married" his lover since 1993, David Furnish, in 2014. They have custody of two children, both boys, born of the same surrogate mother; one in 2010, the other in 2013. John declared, "I'm going to fight for them [sodomite "rights"], whether I do it silently behind the scenes or so vocally that I get locked up." (See BBC News of November 12th, 2006).
As to his sick lifestyle, John sees nothing wrong except perhaps bestiality (sex with animals). He said, "There’s nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. I just think people should be very free with sex…They should draw the line at goats." (Rolling Stone, October 7, 1976, p. 17). He has admitted to having numerous lovers and hook-ups with both men and women, but exclusively men after he declared himself a sodomite. His song All The Girls Love Alice is about a sixteen year old lesbian:
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today
Sweet Painted Lady sings approvingly of a prostitute:
If the boys all behave themselves hereWell, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here will see you alright
So, she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game
John's hatred of God is gets spewed forth in Dear God (not to be confused with the atheist anthem by XTC), which wonders if God exists, and ends by declaring Him "forgetful/disinterested" in the plight of humanity:
Dear God, are you there
Can you hear me, do you care
Dear God, here are we
Less than perfect, far from free
Oh we take what we get and we don't take no more
But we sometimes forget what it was you created us for
Dear God, now's the time
If you're listening, show some sign
Dear God, hear me plead
Don't desert us in our need
Dear God, lend a hand
Is this really what you planned
Dear God, in you we trust
Though we've failed you, don't fail us
Oh we take what we get but we can't take much more
Do you sometimes forget what it was you created us for, dear God (Emphasis mine).
In the song If There's A God In Heaven (What's He Waiting For?)...John rails against the Almighty once more:
Torn from their families
Mothers go hungry
To feed their children
But children go hungry
There's so many big men
They're out making millions
When poverty's profits
Just blame the children
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for
If He can't hear the children
Then he must see the war
But it seems to me
That he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land
Dying for causes
They don't understand
We've been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
There's so many crying
But so few that hear
If there's a God in heaven
Well, what's he waiting for (Emphasis mine).
Elton Loves Frankie
With all this hatred of God and religion, who is the one person representing a religion Elton John likes and admires? You guessed it: Jorge Bergoglio, the Vatican II sect's very own "pope!" In 2014, John stated Christ would've backed "gay marriage." He said, "If Jesus Christ was alive today, I can not see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen." His cited authority for this comment was..."Pope" Francis! According to Elton John, Frankie has"... stripped (the Vatican II sect) down to the bare bones and said it's all basically about love..and inclusiveness." (See The Telegraph, 6/30/14, article entitled "Elton John says Jesus would've backed gay marriage. Millions will presume he's right" by Tim Stanley).
John has declared that Bergoglio is staunchly in the camp of the sexual deviants, and an ally of sodomites. According to The Catholic (sic) Herald:
"On BBC Radio 4’s flagship Today programme the musician said he considered Pope Francis an "ally" against conservative bishops in Africa in his views on same-sex relationships.
“My sly bet is yes he is. He’s just had the [synod] in Rome and I think he’s fighting an uphill battle against the African cardinals and bishops.”
Elton John said his message to the Pope was: “Keep going, keep pushing it. Change is very hard, especially in the Catholic Church, you don’t get things done immediately, you’re not going to persuade people, just keep going and keep going and eventually the wall will fall. I think he's on our side.”
The singer, who is in a same-sex marriage, added: “I would love to meet him. I’m not a Catholic but from the first day he was elected he tried to bring a new message and change the Church and bring it into the 21st century. To be an inclusive Church. He has brought hope and change." (See http://catholicherald.co.uk/news/2015/11/05/elton-john-says-he-would-like-to-meet-his-hero-pope-francis/).
Elton John has said Frankie is a "saint" and should be "canonized" now. (With all the requirements of canonization trashed, why limit it to those who have died, right?) Keep in mind that John has no intention of amending his life, rather he likes the fact that Bergoglio is joining him in the quest to completely eradicate true Faith and Morals. Frankie wants Christ to conform to the world and not have the world conform to Christ.
Mr. Mark Shea, a Vatican II sect apologist, sees John's praise of Frankie as something wonderful (of course). According to Shea, Frankie is causing John to "revisit what the Gospel has to say." Furthermore, John doesn't need a set of moral precepts, but an "encounter with a person." This is Modernist drivel, pure and simple. Mark Shea wants us to believe Elton John has revisited the Gospel. No, Mark, he's revising it to justify his perversity---even citing to Francis himself-----in order to make people believe the unnatural is acceptable. Does Francis condemn any of this, you ask? Has he told Elton John he will not and cannot change God's Moral Law against sodomy? Has he told him that he must repent, convert, or go to Hell? Why no! Elton is having an "encounter," don't you see? Raised an Anglican, John is a God-hating pervert on his way to perdition, and Bergoglio does nothing to correct him. Why? Because Frankie isn't the pope.
When a man such as Elton John lauds Francis (as he continues unabated on his evil ways corrupting Faith and Morals), what does this say about the so-called "pope"? Mark Shea and Frankie will condemn Traditionalists as "self-absorbed, Promethean, neo-Pelagians." Ironically, the same duo will look at Elton John and declare, "Who am I to judge?"
Conclusion
John lives for pleasure, but as the Church teaches, those who live for pleasure will never be satisfied. Elton John has struggled to fill the empty void in his soul with sex, drugs, and fame. Elton John lives a lifestyle that is doomed and headed toward destruction. John has stated, "In most artists there’s a self-destructive streak. Drugs, sex and doomed liaisons were my form of destruction." Besides his sexually perverse lifestyle Elton John has been known for his temper tantrums and deep depression. Pray for Elton John's conversion, and that of Bernie Taupin. If they don't change they will join their "hero" Bergoglio, spending eternity with the Evil One they all served so well.

ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know any better it would seem male & female homosexuality is becoming extremely common.
The amount of Women who have admitted to being with one or a few women in their life is staggering.
This fact has kept from becoming close to a Woman & it frightens me to think I could fall in a love with a closet gay woman.
Living in the last days is nothing but misery.
Everything pre-1969/1970 has pretty much been destroyed at this point.
Yes. With more and more pushing of the sodomite agenda making perversion appear normal, many people “experiment” with unnatural Vice. They become confused and wind up bisexual or homosexual.
DeleteIt’s only a matter of time before the New Sodom the Vatican II sect helped create will bring down God’s destruction upon it.
God help us.

The likelihood of marrying a woman who turns out to be a homosexual is statistically insignificant. The leftist media tries to make people think there are numerous perverts everywhere as a way of influencing people to accept it as normal, but the reality is that homosexuals make up a tiny percentage of the population. Statistics are hard to come by, but I've seen reliable sources say that homosexuals are somewhere around 3% of the population. If you estimate that roughly half of that 3% are men, then you have lesbians composing 1.5% of the population. Out of those, how many are living openly perverted lifestyles? Most likely a good majority -- I think 2/3 of them would be a conservative estimate. So that leaves you with the closeted lesbians composing 0.5% of the population. Out of that tiny number, how many of them would want to be married to a man, even to the point of lying to him about their proclivities? Again, it's going to be a very small percentage of that 0.5%.
DeleteYou're more likely to marry someone who is secretly on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
If you look for a woman who believes in the Faith and practices it seriously, you should be fine when it comes to marriage.
@anonymous7:30,
DeleteI agree that if you look for a woman who takes the Faith seriously you should be fine in marriage. I have no statistical information either, but the number of women who experiment with sexual deviancy is frightening.
In the place where I get my haircut, the young hairdresser (23), very nice and attractive was talking to me about her GIRLFRIEND. Shocked, I asked, “So you’re a lesbian?” She said she wasn’t and had a boyfriend but he broke her heart so she was “experimenting” with being a bisexual. As I was the last customer as they were closing, I asked the three other young ladies (all in their 20s), if they were into girls (I made it seem like a joke but wanted their reaction). They said they weren’t, but were open to the idea, and supported “LGBT” people as “perfectly normal.” Only “old men” think differently (a joking shot at me).
With sodomite marriage, “Caitlin” Jenner, and schools all pushing perversion, the actual numbers may be on the rise. Acceptance comes with a huge price and we are paying it. The anonymous of July 2 above, has more reason to be concerned than you think—-at least outside of devout Traditionalists.

Thank you Introibo asathe average Trad Catholic has no idea how many lipstick lesbians exist in 2018!!

You should abandon the lesbian hail salon & patronize a Barber shop.
Delete@anonymous 2:41
DeleteYou read my mind. Barber shops are not as commonplace as they once were in NYC. Many of the young male barbers are flaming sodomites. Nevertheless, I will find a place where I don’t patronize perverts.

Introibo - Look for a “Christian Business Directory” for your area for hair salons. There is one called “The Shepherd’s Guide” in the State where I live. Also, you could try a “chain” salon such as Great Clips, or Super Cuts. Sometimes they are better than privately owned salons.
DeleteThanks for the advice, Joann! I will try to find a Christian directory first, then try a chain salon.

I am the same person as July 3, 7:30 AM.
DeleteThe question of the incidence of homosexuality in the general population is not of great interest to me, but since the person who started this thread indicated that he has made a drastic, life-altering decision based on this very question, I thought some actual real information on this question might be in order.
I did a quick Google search of "what percentage of the population is gay" and came up with an interesting article from the Gallup Poll people:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/183383/americans-greatly-overestimate-percent-gay-lesbian.aspx
The title of the article is: "Americans Greatly Overestimate Percent Gay, Lesbian in U.S."
It was written in 2015, so this information is pretty much up-to-date. To summarize their findings:
They measure that only 3.8% of the American population identifies itself as gay or lesbian. This is basically the figure I quoted in my post, that seemed to draw skepticism.
I don't necessarily think the Gallup Poll is the most reliable source of information in the world, but a quick Google search provides a lot of other websites that confirm this information.
Again, it's not a huge concern to me if people have the false impression that there are vastly more homosexuals in America than there actually are, but since the OP of this thread seems to be genuinely suffering because of an idea based on false information I thought I should provide a little help.
You make a valid point, but the person at the start of this thread still is quite rational to be concerned. In the poll you cite:
Delete“The stability of these estimates [over the number of sodomites] over time contrasts with the major shifts in Americans' attitudes about the morality and legality of gay and lesbian relations in the past two decades. Whereas 38% of Americans said gay and lesbian relations were morally acceptable in 2002, that number has risen to 63% today. And while 35% of Americans favored legalized same-sex marriage in 1999, 60% favor it today.” Because it’s seen as acceptable, more people are likely to try unnatural Vice.
The poll also states:
Do you, personally, identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender?" with 3.8% being the most recent result, obtained from more than 58,000 interviews conducted in the first four months of this year.“
The hairdresser I went to did NOT identify as lesbian or bisexual but merely “experimenting with” bisexuality.
Your point is well taken that (at least for now) there is a homosexual population much smaller than people think. Is there reason to believe such perversion being shoved down our throats will cause that population to rise? There are good reasons to think it will, and the young man has a population of females his age that are more open to experimenting with (and accepting) perversion than ever before. His fear is far from unfounded.
—-Introibo
Even if we accept that more people experimenting with homosexuality will in the future lead to a greater incidence of such in the population (an idea that I find doubtful), that discussion is irrelevant to the question at hand, which is the statistical probability of this person marrying a closeted lesbian at the present time. The Gallup article I linked to provides evidence both that the statistical likelihood of this is insignificant and that most Americans believe there are far more homosexuals than there actually are, which I suspect is our real point of departure in this conversation.
DeleteWhether homosexuals will compose a greater percentage of the population in the future, and whether that will come about because of greater social acceptance of their vices, and whether more of them will be public or secret homosexuals are all questions that are purely speculative and have no direct bearing on this discussion.
Fair enough. Let's get to the heart of the matter.
DeletePremise #1: The likelihood of marrying a closet lesbian/homosexual is low.
CONCEDED.
Premise #2: That it is as low as you think so as to be no worry for a young heterosexual person.
DENIED.
Why?
Reason #1: Studies regarding bisexuality, especially among young women:
"Researchers asked more than 9,000 people in the United States age 18 to 44 about the types of sexual experiences they have had, whether they are attracted to the same or opposite sex and whether they identify as being straight, gay/lesbian or bisexual. Interviews were conducted between 2011 and 2013 as part of the CDC's National Survey of Family Growth.
Many of the findings about sexual behavior, attraction and orientation were similar between the current survey and the previous (2006-2010) family growth survey. Similar to previous surveys the group conducted, 1.3% of women and 1.9% of men said they were homosexual.
However a few trends stood out. More women reported having had sexual contact with other women: 17.4% in the current survey compared with 14.2% in the 2006-2010 survey. And higher numbers of both women and men identified as bisexual, 5.5% of women and 2% of men, compared with 3.9% and 1.2% respectively in the last survey."
(See https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/07/health/bisexuality-on-the-rise/index.html)
This was a 2016 poll and 17.4% of women admitted to having at least one or more lesbian encounters. That's nearly one in five. Women with such low standards of morality are not exactly the "bring them home to meet my parents and we get married" type.
Reason #2: The experiences of the moral minority of young people.
I've heard MANY young people complain to me about how hard it is to find a decent man or woman who is not "kinky." I was a middle school science teacher here in NYC for 5 years before going to law school. I can tell you that in the 1980s, it was an insult that would cause an immediate fight to call a boy "gay" or a girl a "dyke."
Unfortunately, bullies would target shy, sensitive males as "gay," and overweight or athletic girls as "dykes." In the just over 500 students I taught those 5 years, I really only suspected one male and one female of being homosexual. I was correct about the male, and never heard about the female. Even if she was, 2 out of 500, is just under one-half of one percent.
My friends who still teach tell me how sodomites are celebrated. It is particularly "cool" to be lesbians, and boys like porn involving lesbians engaging in unnatural acts with each other.
Joann, whose comment appears here, has a friend teaching in a Vatican II sect all girls school where the number of lesbians is "staggering."
Conclusion: I think the odds of meeting a woman who is lesbian or "experimenting" are much higher than you think. So, while the overall odds right now is low, it is not so low that the young man above should not be concerned. Ditto for all the nice young ladies looking for a non-pervert man.

This one hits home for me. "Elton John" is one of my mother's favorites. Both my parents are, I'd say, overly attached to the bands and singers of their youth (1970s). I pray for their conversion, but have always felt that that will not occur while they are still listening to this "music." But they can't see it as anything but totally fun-loving and innocent. In their minds music was pure and good until sometime in the '90s.
ReplyDeleteSo true and so sad Samuel! I hope my readers notice that the focus of my study was on the artists and bands perceived as either “good” or “tame.” Every person can see AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Marilyn Manson for what they are; it’s the alleged “clean and fun” bands/artists like Elton John that do the most harm. Show this post to your parents and get them Green Scapulars. I’ll be praying for their conversion as well.

Do you have anything on George Michael? I know he was gay later in his life, but what about his younger years? I noticed when he came out as gay, he became a drug user and drank to cope with depression. But before, he seemed a lot happier.
DeleteI have a family member who teaches high school at a Novus Ordo all girls school. I was told that the number of teenage girls in the school that are lesbians is staggering. It seems that being a lesbian is the “in thing” among them. I wonder where their parents are in all of this? The teachers can’t say anything to the girls or their jobs are in jeopardy. The religion teacher teachers about Islam, Judaism and any and all pagan religions but true Catholicism. It is sad that these girls have no real role models. “As it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah....”
ReplyDeleteJoann,
DeleteMore evidence! Good to hear from you! I sent you a private email to see if you were OK, as you always leave good comments but not last week. Maybe it went to your spam. In any case, glad you’re Ok, and thanks for pointing out the return of Sodom I’d upon us!

No it's not the

Katy Perry concerts.
Can you blame Muslims for calling us

Another great article. Not an expose because he is so upfront with his debauchery. The point you end with is clear. Everyone sees him as neat and clean and don’t care what an atrocity he is. Pray for him.
ReplyDeleteOn another note.
I love the SSPV but they act like it's 1958 & all is right with the World."
The average Trad Catholic has no idea how depraved our world is nowadays.
These are two untrue blanket statements.
Charles,
DeleteGood to hear from you!
My statement about the SSPV is true insofar as all the sermons I’ve heard. If you’ve heard some sermons blasting Bergoglio and openly defending Sedevacantism, that’s wonderful news, but I have never heard even one such sermon. They need to do it often and everywhere.
I have no statistical information to back up the statement of my reader, but it is true within his experience. It is true within my experience with those Traditionalists under age 35.
God Bless,
—-Introibo
No, I do not hear sermons in those manners. As you know though the priest will state (in a nutshell) that if you are new, then you should see a priest and discuss their position. For me personally, I read and hear from different sources about Bergoglio and Sedevacantism so much I would rather not hear about it from the pulpit. I spent my whole life listening to poor Novus Ordo sermons. I appreciate their Catholic sermons. The people that are there should, for the most part, already know why they are there in the first place. The people there are not quiet about it either. Father Jenkins blasts Bergoglio and defends Sedevacantism on the WCB you tube channel all the time.
ReplyDeleteI know your not blasting their sermons. I just don’t feel the need when I walk in the door to be reminded of why I’m there without my Novus Ordo family. That’s painful enough. I know I’m going to get what I came for. The One True Faith.
As always, I appreciate your devotion.
An excellent observation. I’m sorry about your family; I will pray for their conversion. Btw, Fr Jenkins does do an excellent job blasting Bergoglio on YouTube.

I always advice other traditionalist Catholics to quit pop music altogether and go for jazz and classical instead. What is your opinion, Introibo?
ReplyDeleteI agree classical and (most) jazz music is unobjectionable and a good alternative to the secular rock, pop, and country music. For those who do not like those genres of music, Christian rock is a viable alternative.
DeleteYou will never get someone who likes Heavy Metal listening to classic music (as a general rule). Christian metal groups like Stryper and Tourniquet, although not Catholic, have uplifting lyrics that give glory to God and condemn Satan and evil. Most songs are not heretical insofar as they simply reflect the good attributes of God, and obedience.

Classic Country music only! The newer Country music is crap and heavily influenced by the tribal rap sub-culture. Even starting in the 70s, many country artists started glorifying the sexual revolution and drug culture.
DeleteThanks for the clarification Tom!

Speaking of Elton John - didn't Putin do an outreach to him, telling him how well off Sodomites are in Russia, if only they are a bit discreet?
ReplyDeleteWait ... was it a prank?

This is where modern pop music is heading in 2018.

Yesterday I saw two women walking together and holding hands. What struck me is how normal they both looked, nothing butch or bizarre about either of them. They just blended right into the scenery. That was almost more alarming than if they had looked like freaks.
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
DeleteIt wouldn’t surprise me if they were coerced into trying to be “different” because of the constant brainwashing that any type of perversion is “normal.” They May be what is called “bi-curious.” The damage being inflicted by the devil, the flesh, and the world is greater than ever before with the True Church being driven underground.
God help us!!

ReplyDeleteShame on Google for no longer positioning this post higher!
Come on over and seek advice from my weeb ite . Thank you

Interesting how Elton glorifies suicide in his song, but complains when fags do it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should be bullied especially to the point of suicide, but I don't have a double standard about it!
ReplyDelete@anonymous2:02,
DeleteI agree with you!
