I’m getting a bunch of new followers because of my thread, so I thought I would make a quick thread about myself for my new followers.

I use this twitter account to talk about religion, politics, and whatever else I feel like.

I’m part of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. It is a Byzantine Catholic Church. We are in full communion with Rome. I also attend the TLM frequently.

My theology is a mix of Byzantine theology, Franciscan theology, and Thomism. I don’t adhere to one school and take each point of theology on its own. Each school has something to offer the faith.

I also have an interest in the biblical theology of James Jordan. If you see something I post about biblical theology, odds are that I got the idea at least partially from him.

Politically in America I’m a paleoconservative. I think old America, before it was ruined by men like Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Lyndon Johnson, was a great nation.

I think what matters though is the spirit of the American nation. We should not be concerned with...

...strict questions of constitutionality. America precedes her constitution. We must defend America from the left even if it means changing our system of government.

Either secession or a right wing dictatorship are the ways forward, depending on which is more feasable.

In terms of policies, I support strict social conservatism, lower taxes (especially on the middle class), anti usury laws, and more localized government. My policy is a mix of different things so I probably agree with you on something and disagree with you on something else.

In terms of an ideal government though, I think the long term goal is integralism. Christ came into the world to disciple all nations, and He really intends to do that. We are the footsoldiers to build up Christendom. Our weapons are not guns though, but prayer and evangelism.

I think this means more than a mere Christianizing of the state though, but a destruction of the Hobbesian state itself and a return to a decentralized feudal structure. Absolute monarchy is not the answer to the errors of democracy.

I don’t think integralism can be achieved though until we’ve evangelized the country. Our policy right now simply has to work for the flourishing of America on a natural level.

We must work to convert the nation though so that our government’s natural end can be ordered to its supernatural end.

I’m always open to dialogue with other views though so long as you’re acting in good faith.

Also definitely actually the 16th century theologian I claim to be and not a gen z american.
