I'm reading Viktor Klemperer's The Language of the Third Reich and I would bet that he would look at DEI, BLM, preferred pronouns, and the ever-expanding list of "-ists" and "-phobias" and recognize it as pieces of a "prison language" similar to his own time. And like a prison, the prisoners develop a kind of secret language largely out of self-defence.

This is why our ruling class is obsessed with "dog whistles". For example, "Equality of opportunity" is a dog whistle for white supremacy. This is just Thomas Cromwell from A Man for All Seasons:

"there is among us a brood of discreet traitors...to which deceit the King can brook no longer. And we, his loyal huntsmen, must now drive these subtle foxes from their covert."

which is why I've been saying for a while that end-game is a kind of modern Test Acts in which people will be coerced to formally swear to a number if Leftist dogmas if they want to hold an office higher than Town Dog Catcher.

My response to him was that the Mass belongs to Catholics and we decide, within the bounds of Tradition, and in accord with the Word of Jesus, how we conduct ourselves in Holy Mass. Only one authority prevails over Mass and that is our God and the Sacred Tradition given by Him to guide us in all times and places. Understand, there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask to Mass. But there is EVERYTHING wrong with wearing a symbol...

Might Biden be a Liar & Predator like McCarrick?

September 15, 2020   Everyone knows that sexual predator ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick is a liar. His whole life was a lie of betrayal of the most sacred vows he took and the violation of the moral tenets of the Catholic faith which he desecrated. Most people don't realize that part of this desecration of lies included lying for "gravely sinful" Democrats like Joe Biden. McCarrick protected Biden when then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (later to be Pope Benedict XVI) wrote that bishops were not to admit to Communion politicians like "gravely sinful" Biden who supports the killing of unborn babies. McCarrick lied for politicians like Biden by ignoring the important parts of the Ratzinger letter and told bishops not to ignore the Catholic Church law.  Last year, Fr. Robert Morey denied Holy Communion to the “gravely sinful” Biden following a "2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of ...
