Commentary
Related, but America’s original sin was not slavery—since, considered in itself, it is morally legitimate—rather it was and continues to be liberalism. The “cult of liberty” in America is the real problem, since liberty is not the highest good of man nor has it ever been understood properly in America, and certainly not from the founders, tragically.

Fr. Hill’s analysis of the legitimacy of servitude, as well as the rights and duties of masters and slaves, is a worthwhile read. What is to be avoided, however, if the practice is in place, are any abuses, cruelty or illegitimate curtailments (a just noscript is a necessary prerequisite to servitude) of the liberty of men.

You can find it at the following (link) in the chapter on the “Servile State”.

In addition, Abp. Verot delivered a very good sermon on the same subject, interestingly in the very context of looming American Civil War. It’s short and a very good read. Here is the (link).

At the 2025 International Religious Freedom Summit, JD Vance endorsed the condemned idea of “the right [sic] to religious freedom”, happily observing that it is for everyone, “whether you’re a Christian, Muslim, Jew or no faith at all”

In a July 7, 2024 interview with Meet the Press, JD Vance said he openly supports the abortion [murder] drug, Mifepristone, being accessible to Americans

Pope Gregory XVI teaches against the idea of ‘liberty of conscience’, observing it leads to the ‘bottomless pit’ found in the book of Apocalypse.

If you have not read his magnificent encyclical, Mirari Vos (On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism), I would highly encourage you to do so—it is the accurate diagnosis of the system of modern evils which pervades every society.

The encyclical, in English, can be found (here).

An economic system which is not subjected to the laws of morality, and opposes, rather than welcomes, the influence of the Catholic religion on commercial life, is to be utterly rejected.

Morality, not money, is the ultimate arbiter of economic actions.

The Libertarian idea of the independence of economic activity from the laws of morality is repugnant to even mere reason. Conspicuously, this very important area of human life is to be neatly sectioned off from morality? Absurdity.

The State—observing prudence and careful to not overstep its bounds—must enforce these moral considerations and also foster a spirit of cooperation in its citizens as they work towards the common good, not merely the private good of any one man or interest.

Pope Pius XII explains how hereditary factors, including race, impose certain duties, are worthy of esteem and must not be injured

The second article from the Journal of American Reform will be released this coming Friday, likely in the evening.

It comes from the analysis of Bp. Alois Hudal on the racial doctrines, both true and false, that were proliferating in Germany during the 1930s. His 1937 book, Foundations of National Socialism, still remains untranslated from the German original. I hope to be the first in this important effort, at least on this section.

It is very relevant to the encyclical released in 1937 by Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, on the Church and the German Reich, and the reader will surely see how the good bishop’s thinking was very much in line with the mind of the Church on the race issue.

In his senior thesis at Harvard, Vivek Ramaswamay floated his support for human-animal hybrids, saying “Unbeknownst to most Americans, today the creation of human-animal chimeras represents a valuable experimental tool that could revolutionize science and medicine.”

In response to Zionist demands, Pope Benedict XV outlines the official position of the Catholic Church on the Jewish takeover of Palestine, saying “For surely it would be a terrible grief for Us and for all the Christians faithful if infidels [the Jews] were placed in a privileged and prominent position; much more if those most holy sanctuaries of the Christian religion were given into the charge of non-Christians.”

Very few Catholics are aware of the above papal position, outlined in 1919, but the much more widely known remarks of Pope St. Pius X can be found here (link), which are also illustrative on this issue.

There is a striking similarity, in both theological and political opposition, to Jewish domination and statehood in the Holy Land, which properly belongs exclusively to Christians.

It seems tedious, but it bears repeating: Donald Trump and the GOP are allergic—if not overtly hostile—to explicit, White identity, which means securing the rights of the majority group in America, lawfully preserving the racial and national makeup of the country and ending mass [legal] immigration.

This kind of display is merely a tool to shore up support with his base, teasing rhetoric with racial overtones, while trying to bolster his credibility with the radical right, which is increasingly tenuous. Until he names the “White man” and his plight, criticism is warranted and, indeed, necessary.

Despite all of these overtures, Trump is and will remain a committed individualist, which is importantly mirrored by his policy program, unless, of course, the racial group in question is non-White. Finally, he will never talk about reality, plainly, admitting to the ongoing White racial suicide, present in nearly every European country, since it would implicate America.

Do not be fooled.

Austrian bishop, Alois Hudal, in a thoughtful and convincing way, offers a solution to the racial questions plaguing pre-war Germany.

In his book, whose intention was to create a bridge between the Catholic Church and German Reich, he clarifies, “The Church has not yet taken a dogmatic position on the racial question. In the sight of God, that is, in the realm of the supernatural, all races and people are equal, have equal rights and have equal obligations when it comes to the ultimate goal of life. This certainly does not mean that all races are also equal in their natural, intellectual, moral and physiological dispositions. Racial protection can therefore be regarded as self-defense for a people in certain living conditions, as far as it is concerned with preventing mixing for the purpose of producing children.”

This release is from Austrian bishop, Alois Hudal, whose never before translated work “The Foundations of National Socialism”, delves into the German thinking, both good and bad, on the racial question. Written in 1937 and bearing an imprimatur from Cardinal Innitzer, this important work was delivered with a personal note, by Bishop Hudal, to the German leader, Adolf Hitler, in an effort to create a bridge between the Catholic Church and the Reich.
