Discrimen in Ecclesia et Discrimen in Rebus Publicis

President Barack Hussein Obama

Amici, Romani, Compatriotae,

President Barack Hussein Obama has succeeded during his term in office of creating and exacerbating harmful divisions within our Republic that no President before him has done. His deference to Islam, his promotion of sterile sexual filth, his criticism of local constabularies, and his inciting of racial hatreds have all created a dangerous atmosphere of antagonism and distrust. If during the next Presidential election a Republican is elected, few if any Democrats will tolerate it for it will mean the end of the promotion of sodomy and lesbianism, and government financing of the infanticide of the unborn. And likewise if a Democrat is elected; Conservative Republicans are at the end of their patience in being ridiculed, marginalized and misrepresented in the popular media.

Pope Francis
Jorge Bergoglio

In the same fashion Jorge Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, has succeeded during his occupancy of the Sedes Petri in exacerbating the divide between traditional conservative orthodox Catholics and liberal progressives who want to normalize the adultery of second civil marriages and both sodomy and lesbianism. Time and again Pope Francis has ranted against doctors of the law who insist on conformity tot he clear commands of Christ in Sacred Scripture. These rants are little different in tenor and tone than those which President Obama issues against conservative Republicans. And just as Democrats and Republicans can no longer tolerate each other, so also can traditional conservative orthodox Catholics and liberal progressives no longer tolerate each other.

Concerning these things the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:34-39 are quite clear:

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."

Yes, we should and must pray for both our Pope and our President. But at the same time, as Jesus said in Matthew 10:16:

"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves."

The following is a modification of several prayers from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer:

A Prayer for The President of the United States, and all in Civil Authority.

ALMIGHTY God, whose kingdom is everlasting and power infinite; Have mercy upon this whole land; and so rule the hearts of thy servants THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Barack Hussein Obama, The Governor of this State of South Carolina Nikki Haley, and all others in authority, that they, knowing whose ministers they are, may above all things seek thy honour and glory; and that we and all the People, duly considering whose authority they bear, may faithfully and obediently honour them, according to thy blessed Word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

A Prayer for Congress.

MOST gracious God, we humbly beseech thee, as for the people of these United States in general, so especially for their Senate and Representatives in Congress assembled; that thou wouldest be pleased to direct and prosper all their consultations, to the advancement of thy glory, the good of thy Church, the safety, honour, and welfare of thy people; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavours, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be establish among us for all generations. These and all other necessaries, for them, for us, and thy whole Church, we humbly beg in the Name and mediation of Jesus Christ, our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.

A Prayer for the Clergy and People.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift; Send down upon Pope Francis, our Patriarchs, Metropolitans, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Priests and Deacons, and upon the Offices, Jurisdictions, Dioceses, and Congregations committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace; and, that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen.
