Cardinal, You All Knew....

You All Knew:

A MOnoLogUE Critique of Power, Politics, and Compromise

---

Hegseth: “The war in Iran is protected by God.”

Cardinal Pizzaballa: “The manipulation of God’s name to justify this, or any war, is among the gravest sins of our time.”

Me: Well said, Cardinal Pizzaballa, Patriarch of Jerusalem.

But I must also turn, and speak to the Church,

the Catholic Church in America.

To remain silent would be to abdicate responsibility.

And that, I cannot do.

The Confrontation

Dear MAGAtholic,

This is NOT what you ALL wanted?
But you started this.
Yes.
Do not pretend surprise.
for yourselves and for the world.
You wanted Roe v. Wade overturned.
You wanted a golden age for Christianity,

Well—
you got it.
You got it.

You chose power over truth.
You fed the culture wars.
You made them your altar.

And now you recoil
at the fire you lit?

You knew the man.
Do not lie.

You saw him.
You heard him.
You discerned him.

And still…
you sat at his table.

The Warning Ignored

An old proverb warned:
When you dine with the devil, use a long spoon.

You brought none.
Only appetite.

Scripture Was Clear

“Bad company corrupts good character.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:33

“Avoid the path of the wicked.”
— Proverbs 4:14–15

“Do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly.”
— Psalm 1:1

Do not defend God now

with lips that refused discernment then.

Do not speak of righteousness
after bargaining with unrighteousness.

The Verdict

This is consequence.

You made your choice

American Catholics chose entanglement with MAGA politics.
Eyes wide open.

You could have waited.

For a man with justice in his heart.
Justice without corruption.
For a man with conviction.
You chose instead, a man of lawlessness

Scripture warned:

“Let no one deceive you with empty words,
for because of such things
God’s wrath comes on the disobedient.”

And yet…
You stood on a hill with a megaphone,

inviting the deception you were warned against.

Instead you said,

“God can use anyone.”

Lazy theology.
A license for compromise.

The Reckoning

You excused everything.

Now you discover
what you embraced
will not excuse you.

The Final Word

It is too late for distance.

But if we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.

Read it yourself:

So?
So, you must confess your sins

or you will own it.

I rest my case
