Those who watched the recent Paris Olympic opening ceremony, where drag queens seemed to portray the Last Supper (though this is denied), were actually watching Marxism on full display.

Also here.

 As they put it: Our thesis is that the conservative movement has failed to conserve anything worth conserving. This is why we are in the situation we currently find ourselves in, and it is in fact a state of learned helplessness. Conservatives, centrists, and the right wing lose to the Left because they do not fundamentally understand the Left. Let this be a software upgrade to all who read this. The Cultural Marxist knows that the conservative will cry foul. The conservative will lash out with angry tweets about double standards and hypocrisy. But the Cultural Marxist does not care. The Cultural Marxist views everyone else as either unaware of the goal of the revolution, less than them, or an obstacle standing in their way to be destroyed. Only the revolution matters to the revolutionary. Conservatives have lost years of ground by being obsessed with debating “facts and logic” rather than doing the grubby work of entering institutions and remaking them from inside. The revolutionaries are a generation ahead in this regard. Conservatives are playing catch-up, and the hour is growing late. Time is short. Ultimately, the revolutionary does not care what the conservative says about them. They aren’t operating in good faith. These aren’t the unintentional consequences of good intentions. Conservatives need to wake up, and wake up now. This is a playbook that has been around longer than the United States itself. And we are reaching the endgame. The documentary filmmaker Justin Malone—who is currently making a film about KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov—has been telling me an iteration of this for years. As he sees it, we aren’t dealing with ordinary humans who will ultimately concede to facts and logic, but with fanatics who seem to be demonically possessed. While we’re busy trying to grow businesses, raise kids, and enjoy life, they are constantly on the march, sowing confusion and division, subverting institutions and the education of children. By the time we wake up to what is going on and react to it, they are already marching off on the next campaign.

Mother Cabrini

 history to Hollywood site history to Hollywood site analyzes the film and the biography of this wonderful woman.

ironically a lot of catholic/religious sites objected because she didn't spout religion all the time. Well, duh. Neither did our sisters who ran the hospital in Africa.

Doing God's will is more important than crying holy holy

But don't ask me: I just posted a comment on Bishop Barron's talk on Catherine of Sienna where he cited her severe fasting, and I pointed out maybe her visions were from hunger (similar to my Lakota patients on vision quests) and that maybe if she had not fasted so much she might not have died at so young an age.

What I did not post there: Asking the good bishops why he didn't get inspired by her most famous deed: Where she corrected a pope and got him to move back to Rome.

So bishop barron is a good reasonable outreach for the average well educated Yank, and probably better than most of the bishops and the Pope who spout PC stuff, yet still I ask: Who is bringing the message of God's hope to the abandoned? No, not necessarily the poor or immigrants, but the kids who are raised in schools because both parents work to keep up with the Joneses.

biological computers

 there is a lot of scary stuff out there about neuro links with computers, leading to  HomoDeus and other ideas of the transhumanism movement.

HomoDeus book sets out to examine possibilities of the future of Homo sapiens. The premise outlines that during the 21st century, humanity is likely to make a significant attempt to gain happiness, immortality, and God-like powers. Throughout the book, Harari openly speculates various ways that this ambition might be realised in the future based on the past and present

I was just reading about this on my tablet so don't have links yet.

But todays's stuff is about using human brain cells to make biocomputers.

SCIENCE ALERT:Breakthrough: Model Organs Built With Cells From Living Fetuses

uH, LIVING FETUSES?

Scientists have grown small but complex models of human organs from live fetus cells for the first time, giving experts new insight into our development and potential treatments for malformations while in the womb. These organoids aren't full replicas of organs, but they're close enough to the real deal that they can be used to study disease and other aspects of human biology that are difficult to investigate in living people.,

apparently these fetal cells came from amniotic fluid, not aborted fetuses, but not everyone is trying to be ethical in these things:

Organoids have previously been grown from the cells of terminated fetuses, which comes with ethical concerns and tight regulation restrictions. They can also be grown from adult stem cells, but this is much later in the body's development. What the new tissue potentially gives scientists is a way of studying problems in the womb, many weeks before the baby is born. Plenty of further study will be needed to get to that stage, but it's something that we're now closer to doing.

Wikipedia article on cerebral organoid, for later reading.

the article says these cells come from Neural organoids are created by culturing pluripotent stem cells into a three-dimensional culture that can be maintained for years...but the link to PPStemcells say that these can come from:They are found in both embryonic and adult organisms, but they have slightly different properties in each.

......

this one pushes happy happy transhumanism as a way to go against aging (the really enthusiastic types see it as a way to cheat death).

 But of course the dirty little secret is that ordinary old people are useless eaters and they will figure out a way to eliminate these unneeded people

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

as TMarshall points out: The temptation of men to become God goes way back.

He points out that in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, we unite with God to do his will.

But this is not a humble service of God but arrogancy striving to become like God.

Sigh.
