Rick Santorum Ayatollah Rick warns America of the danger of rock concerts, the NBA, and Protestantism

[JJ2]

Is this a real quote (this time)? There was a spoof article about Santorum last week:

Yes, it is. Listen to him say it with his own voice:

Rick Santorum, a devout Catholic

I'm not sure what makes Santorum a "devout Catholic." I was talking to the Priest at my family's Catholic Church the other day and he had some choice words to say about Santorum's ideas.

Whenever this issue of politicians criticizing each other's faith comes up, people freak out and back off. I say let's go for it. Let's have a discussion of what exactly makes someone a "Christian" or not. Rick Santorum, ignoramus as he is, may in bursts of hubris believe he could have that conversation and remain unscathed, but he seems to have more sensible people around him telling him to not go there. For instance:

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-rick-santorum-obama-theology-20120219,0,3432071.story

Of course the only politician to touch this issue of Christian qualities as opposed to mere idol sloganeering is Ron Paul and is references to the Golden Rule, pacifism, etc.

It would awesome if someone could bait Santorum into that conversation. He'd end up looking like a complete fool, but I guess he already does that and nobody much notices anyway.

What does the NBA have to do with anything? We're not allowed to watch a sports game because it makes us bad people?

Sometimes I hope certain people in politics would simply catch fire.

Kind of agree with him on the non-mainline Protestant part. They're the fundamentalist Zionist Christians.

Anything that Agorist posts you can pretty much discount. He's a progressive and posts progressive propaganda. Since when do the lefties care about religion, except of course, to belittle the religious?

How do you figure. I've never voted for a Democrat or even a green party person.

There are many devout Catholics who are VERY liberal. Many more would vote democrat if it weren't for being pro-life. Many Catholics are pro-union. That's the environment in which I was raised.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Yes, it is. Listen to him say it with his own voice:

He did say it, didn't he? It was always a safe assumption that Santorum agreed with Tipper Gore and the PMRC.

And Dave Mustaine was foolish enough to fall for Santorum?

Whenever you talk about non-mainline Protestantism, you're primarily dealing with offshoots of the Restorationist movement of the 19th century, which oddly enough would include the Mormons and, to a somewhat less direct extent, the Jehova's Witness. Most of these groups are actually closer to Roman Catholicism in their views on church government and tend to give tyrannical authority to their bishoprics. Some offshoots of the Anabaptist movement may also fall into this category, though Baptist churches tend to be less centralized and don't always agree on specific doctrines, at least those churches that have doctrines to speak of.

The irony of Ayatollah Rick's speech here is that the decline of Mainline Protestantism has occurred largely because of the direct infiltration and corruption by groups like Rick's own Opus Dei order and various other offshoots of the Jesuit order. They've been trying to destabilize the Union of Utrecht, the Church of Sweden and the Anglican Church (which the Vatican still regards as nominally in line with the apostolic line claimed by the Roman Church) for over a century now, and if you look at the sad state of England right now, it looks like they've done some pretty significant damage.

Someone should turn Ted Nugent loose on him

Lol. That'd be awesome

LOL @ Ayatollah Rick.

Whered that come from?

I don't know whered it came from, but I know whered it's going. Could Ayatollah Santorum replace Swingrich as my favorite Twitter search term?

 

[Evangelical_Protestant]

Somehow he managed to blame protestants for all the pop-culture stuff on TV.

I could see how he would hate protestants because the Papacy is seen as the first beast of revelation by most protestants. Eventually this first beast was destroyed [but miraculously recovers against all odds], and a second was or is to come up and cause the multitudes to worship the first beast [papacy according to this theory], this second beast is to have power over many nations and all these nations are possibly separate but rule as though they were one.

Alot of protestants believe that when the "number of his name" is described in revelation, that this is referring to the value of the letters of his name. In greek, hebrew, and latin there are numerical values for letters unlike in english. The pope has a title in latin "Vicarius Christi" or " In place of Christ" the value of this is 666 supposedly. Also protestants claim that the Papacy is a Christianized Paganism or a perversion of the truth.

I feel like I shouldn't say this as fact at the moment, because I'm unsure to be honest. But the above theory is the pre-dominate view of protestants. Matthew Henry's commentary explains the view pretty clearly.

The second beast is the United States.

He wants to refight Martin Luther's Reformation again.

Ask him if he thinks Luther was a heretic.

He would probably answer yes, though I doubt he understands the dynamics of the theological divide between Luther and the innovations of the Roman Curia, to speak nothing for the Jesuit heretics who took over the church soon after. Most counter-reformation fanatics of the Opus Dei persuasion are completely clueless about church history before the Council Of Trent, and the ones who are somewhat adept at the subject constantly quote-mine things said by Origen and a few other early fathers that are actually at odds with the consensus of the rest of the early fathers, particularly St. Augustine and St. Jerome.

Martin Luther was essentially a proponent of early church Catholicism until he started falling into Erastian errors regarding the powers of the magistrate, particularly his extremely shoddy work otherwise known as The Doctrine Of Two Kingdoms, while the people that are pulling Santorum's strings are bold Semi-pelagian heretics.

Santorum has some sort of connection with Opus Dei btw.

How Opus Dei Influenced Rick Santorum

The Opus Dei are a pretty shady bunch, even compared to the outwardly professed Jesuit Order (though there is likely some overlap between the two orders given their wildly similar goals of manipulation through political infiltration) and are fairly reminiscent of a masonic governmental structure. There's been a fair amount of buzz amongst the Sedevacantist movement regarding how the Opus Dei, by the standards of ancient Catholic belief, is indicative of a heavily cult-like tendency in the modern Roman Church, while the Jansenist controversy actually points to this tendency in the Roman Church going back all the way to the earliest days of the Reformation.
