I have known this to happen many times over the years.

Tomorrow, instead of the usual interview, I’ll be sharing a meditation on the suffering and death of Our Lord—featuring the profound insights of St. Thomas Aquinas. It’s Holy Week, and I hope this helps you draw closer to Christ.
“The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural cure for suffering, but a supernatural use for it.'“
—Simone Weil
Blessed Holy Week to all—

I get the impression that those leading the charge into our glorious if nightmarish Communist future are a little slow when it comes to understanding how much control they really have. I think they see all of the many police agencies we have, from the local sheriff to the FBI, the National Guard and active military, and think something to the effect of, “There is no way our power can be challenged. Resistance is futile!” The law of unintended consequences is waiting in ambush, but they don't see it. That might be because those already of a collectivist mindset ensconced in the bureaucracy see the country as a pyramid with themselves at the top, though they do see cracks in the edifice and work to patch them up with the occasional unconstitutional law or regulatory edict. Many are arrogant, and the price of arrogance is foolishness. (Thank God for the recent Chevron decision by the Supreme Court, though it will be under attack.)
