THE ARCHANGEL INSTITUTE IS FULLY LAUNCHED AND FULLY DEPLOYED.

THIS WAS FINALIZED ON THE FEAST OF THE ARCHANGELS, 2008, WHEN THE FINISHED AND STAFFED OFFICES WERE PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY VIA A 15 HOUR PRAYER EVENT.

MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO STOPPED BY TO PRAY AND WISH US WELL TODAY.

MORE DETAILS WILL BE FORTHCOMING.  ESPECIALLY MORE DETAILS ON RETTA KOHRMAN AND THE GREAT JOB THAT SHE IS NOW DOING WHILE OFFICING AT THE INSTITUTE.

Sanitary?

Fort Wayne’s infamous abortionist, George Ulrich Klopfer, killed children and wounded women before and after “washing up” in this sink.

Note the elbow activation. Nevemind, is it not there, the sink is nothing like the one pictured in the previous post on medical sinks.

Note the foot pedal activation. Nevermind, it is not there, the sink is nothing like the one pictured in the previous post on petting zoo sinks.

Yes, it is true . . . the petting zoo in Fort Wayne demonstrates more dedication to good medical practices than did George Ulrich Klopfer while he killed babies at 827 Webster Street.

It was a back alley butcher shop with a store front address. Guarded and protected by a cadre of Fort Wayne feminists who cared so little about women that they did not even demand the “doctor” use a santiary sink. I wonder if they took turns turning the faucets off so he could at least pretend that he cared about sterility in the operating arena?

John Brown, upon taking possession of the former abortion clinic, noted that he would not even have taken a cat in there to be spayed.

Incensed??? Good, take that zeal to a rally in Fort Wayne. And begin praying and fasting too.

Here is Bryan & Anne Brown’s firstborn modeling how the sinks at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo work …

Please notice that the water is activated and turned off by a foot pedal.

Thus the one who just washed goat, sheep and/or calf stuff off of his or her hands need not touch any levers and become re-contaminated with animal germs.

Who would not want a sink like this in their operating room if they could not have a sink like the one pictured in the previous post?

We know of one Fort Wayne doctor who seems to have no need of such precautions . . .

Here is what a medical sink in a facility that cares about women’s health looks like:

Note that the scrubbed hands need never touch a surface, one can simply turn the water off with elbows while holding the carefully scrubbed hands aloft.

What doctor would not want such a sink???

We know of one ……..

We have been studying Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s historic 1978 Harvard address.  We will get back to it soon, but first we pause to contemplate these wise words from Europe.  The words of a prophet are not written on a subway wall … they are highlighted in red below.

Pope in Paris condemns love of money, power

Source

PARIS (AP) – Pope Benedict XVI condemned unbridled “pagan” passion for power, possessions and money as a modern-day plague on Saturday, as he led more than a quarter million Catholics at an outdoor Mass in Paris.

Benedict was making his first visit as pontiff to the French capital, renowned for its luxury goods, fashion sense and cultural riches.

“Has not our modern world created its own idols?” Benedict said in his homily, and wondered aloud whether people have “imitated, perhaps inadvertently, the pagans of antiquity?”

“This is a question that all people, if they are honest with themselves, cannot help but ask,” the pontiff said.

The 260,000 or so people who gathered on the lawns of the Esplanade des Invalides displayed a joyful outpouring of faith for this traditionally Roman Catholic country, which has witnessed a sharp decline in churchgoing in recent years.

Benedict has continued with a campaign started by his predecessor, John Paul II, who worried that the ever-more affluent West was turning consumerism into a kind of religion and ignoring its Christian roots of spiritual values.

Paraphrasing from the New Testament, Benedict decried “insatiable greed” and said “the love of money is the root of all evil.”

“Have not money, the thirst for possessions, for power and even knowledge, diverted man from his true destiny?” the pope asked.

In his homily, Benedict blasted modern society’s thirst for these new “pagan” idols as a “scandal, a real plague.”

The pope urged the faithful to “shun the worship of idols. Do not tire of doing good!’”

***

On Friday, Benedict told young people they shouldn’t fear spreading their faith in a society where secularism is entrenched and Islam is growing.

Loss of Willpower

And yet — no weapons, no matter how powerful, can help the West until it overcomes its loss of willpower. In a state of psychological weakness, weapons become a burden for the capitulating side. To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die; there is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time and betrayal. Thus at the shameful Belgrade conference free Western diplomats in their weakness surrendered the line where enslaved members of Helsinki Watchgroups are sacrificing their lives.

I could be wrong, but I think our dear Alexander misspoke. I think he meant to say at the Yalta Conference. According to one source on the www, “As the Cold War heated up, anti‐Communist American critics … condemned Yalta as a symbol of appeasement and a diplomatic defeat for the United States. Poland and Eastern Europe had been betrayed. The United States should avoid negotiating with the Soviet Union. Some critics later insisted that China had gone Communist because of the Yalta Conference. The severest claimed that Roosevelt was either too sick to deal with Stalin or was duped by him.”

Solzhenitsyn’ s criticism runs deeper than “FDR was sick.” He instead told Harvard ’s teaching staff that Christendom was sick. It was weak. It was unwilling to stand up to the organized atheism of Soviet Russia. He was not preaching to the choir. He was preaching to the sinners. The very sinners who were happy to capitulate and surrender all that was best in Christendom to the likes of Uncle Joe.  Harvard’s elite, America’s elite, were embarrassed by Christendom and instead pined for government based upon official indifference to religion and  tradition.  Such indifference will always become hostility.

It has in America.  Now back to Solzhenitsyn:

Western thinking has become conservative: the world situation should stay as it is at any cost, there should be no changes. This debilitating dream of a status quo is the symptom of a society which has come to the end of its development.

Did you hear that academic elites?  You are not the highest point of Western Civ … you are the beginning of its end, by your own choice.

But one must be blind in order not to see that oceans no longer belong to the West, while land under its domination keeps shrinking. The two so-called world wars (they were by far not on a world scale, not yet) have meant internal self-destruction of the small, progressive West which has thus prepared its own end. The next war (which does not have to be an atomic one and I do not believe it will) may well bury Western civilization forever.

He waxes apocalyptic once again.  It seems that Alexander really did think things were headed down the wrong track for the West.  (We have not switched tracks since his speech.)

Facing such a danger, with such historical values in your past, at such a high level of realization of freedom and apparently of devotion to freedom, how is it possible to lose to such an extent the will to defend oneself?

That question was tackled by a great thinker and peer of Solzhenitsyn’s in the very same year.   The short answer is this:  apostate Christendom is not Christian, it is pagan.  And paganism is always a dying social order, being the culture of death and all.

But Christ calls His Church out of paganism to be the Culture of Life.  And so when the two share a social order, a great distinction will be noted.

But we get ahead of today’s second guest speaker:

In October of 1978, Malcolm Muggeridge spoke at the University of Waterloo. His two addresses were

later published in a book entitled THE END OF CHRISTENDOM, BUT NOT OF CHRIST. His thesis was that Christendom was coming to an abrupt end, but that Christ would continue.  By this, he meant not only that Jesus Christ will exist forever, but that the true followers of Christ will survive the disintegration of 1700 years of Christian governance.

The true church continues victoriously, even if the state opts for apostacy and degeneration.

Muggeridge likened the fall of Christendom in our own day with the fall of ancient Rome, asking, “How, in the shambles of a collapsed Christendom, stands Christ?”

The answer is “without equal.”  Let all of the false gods fall, Christ will yet stand.

Malcolm taught, “as for the decadent practices of Roman citizens such as the Corinthians–a general immorality so very reminiscent of today–these, Paul insisted, pertained to the dying world of paganism. Christians who had been reborn into the Kingdom proclaimed by Christ, a kingdom whose fulfillment they awaited with confidence, were not to contaminate themselves with the moral squalor of the pagan world. Now we see Christendom likewise sinking. But the true point I want to make is this: that Christ’s kingdom remains. Indeed, it can be seen more clearly and appreciated more sharply by contrast with the darkness and depravity of the contemporary scene. . . .”

Muggeridge and Solzhenitsyn.  It just does not get much better than this in the realm of non-American analysis of our social order among the laity.   Let all with  ears to hear do  just that.

Today we continue our study at the feet of the modern prophet Solzhenitsyn.  Our tutoring under this great mind begins at this post.  We are studying his 1978 Harvard speech. 

That which follows in green font is Alexander’s most geopolitical section in his Harvard address.  Note the ominous tone.  Some of it is a bit deep, so the ArchAngel Institute has broken it up in purple.

Shortsightedness

Very well known representatives of your society, such as George Kennan, say: we cannot apply moral criteria to politics. Thus we mix good and evil, right and wrong and make space for the absolute triumph of absolute Evil in the world.

In other words, Alexander teaches that mixing good and evil in a pragmatic fashion, as is the status quo in America these days, will result in the triumph of “absolute Evil.”  It would appear that Alexander speaks of a final conflict once again.

On the contrary, only moral criteria can help the West against communism’s well planned world strategy.

The Harvard elite had to hate the above line!

 There are no other criteria. Practical or occasional considerations of any kind will inevitably be swept away by strategy. After a certain level of the problem has been reached, legalistic thinking induces paralysis; it prevents one from seeing the size and meaning of events.

America’s secularized academic elites are the blind leading the blind.

In spite of the abundance of information, or maybe because of it, the West has difficulties in understanding reality such as it is. There have been naive predictions by some American experts who believed that Angola would become the Soviet Union’s Vietnam or that Cuban expeditions in Africa would best be stopped by special U.S. courtesy to Cuba. Kennan’s advice to his own country — to begin unilateral disarmament — belongs to the same category. If you only knew how the youngest of the Moscow Old Square [1] officials laugh at your political wizards! As to Fidel Castro, he frankly scorns the United States, sending his troops to distant adventures from his country right next to yours.

Harvard’s elites were among those cheering most loudly for these dangerous policies in the 70’s.

However, the most cruel mistake occurred with the failure to understand the Vietnam war. Some people sincerely wanted all wars to stop just as soon as possible; others believed that there should be room for national, or communist, self-determination in Vietnam, or in Cambodia, as we see today with particular clarity. But members of the U.S. anti-war movement wound up being involved in the betrayal of Far Eastern nations, in a genocide and in the suffering today imposed on 30 million people there. Do those convinced pacifists hear the moans coming from there? Do they understand their responsibility today? Or do they prefer not to hear?

The same would later be asked of those who encouraged and then abandoned Iraqi freedom fighters in 1991, as was done in the Bay of Pigs and as was done to all of Eastern Europe at Yalta.   Duplicity in high places seems to be the rule far too often.

The American Intelligentsia lost its [nerve] and as a consequence thereof danger has come much closer to the United States. But there is no awareness of this.

Once again, the Harvard elites must have been cut to the quick.  Alexander was fortunate to have gotten away with only his career stoned.  No wonder he fell from grace after this speech.

Your shortsighted politicians who signed the hasty Vietnam capitulation seemingly gave America a carefree breathing pause; however, a hundredfold Vietnam now looms over you. That small Vietnam had been a warning and an occasion to mobilize the nation’s courage. But if a full-fledged America suffered a real defeat from a small communist half-country, how can the West hope to stand firm in the future?

We can stand only on the Order of the Most High.  We have instead trusted in our military might.  That faith did not serve us well in Vietnam.  It does not serve us well today. 

I have had occasion already to say that in the 20th century democracy has not won any major war without help and protection from a powerful continental ally whose philosophy and ideology it did not question. In World War II against Hitler, instead of winning that war with its own forces, which would certainly have been sufficient, Western democracy grew and cultivated another enemy who would prove worse and more powerful yet, as Hitler never had so many resources and so many people, nor did he offer any attractive ideas, or have such a large number of supporters in the West — a potential fifth column — as the Soviet Union.

Alexander stands before America’s academic elite and chides them for helping to create a monster named Stalin.  FDR then fed all of Eastern Europe to that monster, a nightmare visited upon Poland, East Germany, Romania and elsewhere that ended only when Pope John Paul II called the Church to the barricades.  The academic elite training America’s best and brightest slept well beside Uncle Joe Stalin while they threw stones at Pope John Paul II.  Alexander rightly pointed them out as a large part of America’s problem back in the late 70’s.  It is very sad that their poison was allowed to metastasize and spread across America in the decades that followed. 

At present, some Western voices already have spoken of obtaining protection from a third power against aggression in the next world conflict, if there is one; in this case the shield would be China. But I would not wish such an outcome to any country in the world. First of all, it is again a doomed alliance with Evil; also, it would grant the United States a respite, but when at a later date China with its billion people would turn around armed with American weapons, America itself would fall prey to a genocide similar to the one perpetrated in Cambodia in our days.

Alexander waxes apocalyptic once again.  Our previous post on such “final conflict” thoughts is found here.  

It would be fair to say that Solzhenitsyn did not believe the West could have an alliance with China that would end up in anyplace other than a world war  — likely the last world war.
