Ignatius started the Society of Jesus to revive the Church in the face of the rise of Protestantism.
Bannon is starting a Society of . . . Good heavens, what’s he starting??
Too bad for Stevie that “Hitler Youth” was already trademarked…
When do the lions show up?
“Traditional Judeo-Christian West” = White people.
Also, let the doublespeak…begin!
How long before they all turn cannibal?
ETA: I thought of this because of the book by Chuck Palahniuk called Haunted.
Trump University goes international…
GOP donors get fleeced once again…
Important: do they allow box wine at bootcamp?
I can easily see this program getting nipped by the founder at the bud.
Quite possibly a reboot of the ugly Pasolini movie “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.”
Seems fitting enough.
I was just going to ask . . .
This is a guy who, earlier this year, was booted off a panel discussion at a university in Montana that was going to discuss the potential for robots as, um, companions for people. And now he’s running something like this??
There’s something Rasputin-like about this guy and his ability to sweet-talk powerful people who share his politics, right down to the terrible hygiene. I really don’t get it.
Hard to imagine how he’s going to change the Vatican—to be MORE powerful—with laity. Who is going there to increase the power of the Pope?
And Pope Francis is trying to decentralize the church. If he gets his way he’ll be the last Pope with centralized power.
Bannon wants to un-schism the Church?
Why do these motherfuckers have to pollute the two countries on the planet that I love? why? Godfuckingdamnit!
To do fascism properly you must study among the natives.
Steve Bannon and Newt Gingrich are going to fix Catholicism.
Like they fixed America. They’re going to make Jeffrey Epstein pope.
Great. So what happens when these losers look at each other and realize they were all just cosplaying as men online because real manly men don’t waste all their time whining about being oppressed? This is like the sequel to Old School nobody asked for, with Bannon creating a frat for young angry white dudes to rant against women and pine for 80’s.
And I’m just going to say it: When you’re arguing that the Vatican is too mainstream and hip for your movement, you’re probably not as cutting edge as you might imagine.

Is this the Bannon Jim Jones moment?
Doesn’t seem to bathe or groom well?
“populist nationalist sovereignty movement” Quasi-quack philosophy?
Gathering his followers, indoctrinating them to his way of thinking?
Hidden away in a monastery?
Any large vats and supplies of acids involved?
I wonder if the Italians know how to Noriega someone out of dwelling?
