Ireland's song for Eurovision really broke down many pious Christians, thus the Catholic Herald published a long rant against the Western civilization: attacking personal freedoms (like contraception and expression), the French revolution (thus democracy), humanism, and feminism, among others. Here are some tidbits and it's just one paranoid insanity after another, completely devoid of reality:
Quote:An exorcist is needed to sort out Eurovision 2024 and Ireland’s troubled contestant
My brother went out with a girl who dumped him once she found out he wore glasses: “I don’t like any weakness,” she declared, before finding herself a job with the Humanists.
In a society which legitimises eugenics under cuddly names like planned parenthood and medical assistance in dying, what we really need is exorcists to wheedle out generational evil spirits.
As Bambie Thug, who is also known as the Goth, Gremlin, Goblin Witch, is given a platform to act out her adolescent rebellion for the Oh-so-daring Republic of Ireland on stage at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest tonight, some will be shocked, while others will see it as final confirmation of the existence of, not so much an intellectual dark web, rather a Dunces Dark Web.
The satanic, the occult and the esoteric have been swirling in our culture for a long time. In the 1980’s Madonna (everyone’s favourite grandmother, last seen prancing around in her underwear on Copacabana beach) was at the forefront of the occult trend. Madonna introduced iconoclastic pop paganism that desecrated the Virgin Mary, Christ, the saints and the priesthood, while her songs such as Like a Virgin and Like a Prayer, profaned the sacred. Her 2012 Superbowl half-time show was riddled with satanic imagery.
Feminism as a movement is rooted in ideals to recreate and reshape society in a world without God. What emerged from the social rubble of the French revolution were new fault lines of conflict where the older questions informed by sacred ideals were attacked and replaced under a new desacralised order. The French revolution was the first major break with the sacred order around which western society and culture had been arranged for centuries in the Judaeo Christian tradition.
Out of this rupture burst new narratives focused on power relations: the oppressor and the oppressed, the bourgeois and the proletariat, men and women. It opened the door for the (oftentimes) damaged and depraved loudmouths to set the agenda for the rest of us.
Calls were made to rise up and smash the boundaries that prevented our freedom. Free love, sadism, masochism, polyamory, spiritualism, were all encouraged as ways to demonstrate the smashing of boundaries that apparently enslave us. According to such narratives we should be free to have sex with whoever we want, at whatever age we want.
The origins of Bambi Thug go way back to such figures as Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, who left a trail of used up women and dead children in their wake; the self-described sexologists Dr John Money, who coined the term gender identity, and Alfred Kinsey, who interviewed paedophilic men who sexually abused children and infants, then argued the cries of protest and pain were “orgasm”; Simone de Beauvoir who, influenced by the Marquis de Sade’s politics of rebellion and torture, claimed that “one is not born a woman, but rather becomes one”.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
