  • Myth of Judeo-Christian Culture

    Jeff J. Brown: Thomas, knowing your erudite expertise on Christianity, I have a question for you: When did Jews get control of the Vatican? I know it was at least in 1942, when the Jewish psychopath Rothschild clan created the City of London Vatican Bank. T.P. Wilkinson: I will check on your query before I […]

  • Seeds of Catholic Totalitarian Rule Against Pagans

    Seeds of Catholic Totalitarian Rule Against Pagans

    Catholic Hysteria Against Pagans  What is wrong with a sacred tradition that attempts to predict the future? What dangers lurk for those who host feasts are not under Church approved? What is wrong with making images of gods and goddesses? What will happen to you? Why not use chemical hallucinogens to heal and create altered […]

  • The Election of Pope Leo XIV

    The occasion of electing another Pope was a spectacle in time and, in many ways, outside it. It was the one rare occasion in the twenty-first century where ancient ceremony, the old boy network – many presumptive virgins – along with festive dressing up, were seen with admiration rather than suspicion. Feminists were nowhere to […]

  • Economical Explanations: Reflection on the Aims of Past Wars and Wars to Come

    Economical Explanations: Reflection on the Aims of Past Wars and Wars to Come

    Down at my grocer’s for half a dozen eggs and some melon, I answered the usual question about my well being openly as accustomed. My neighbour is a friend and his query is sincere. After recounting local concerns he expresses his frustration, one more people certainly share, that they can witness audio-visual depictions of the […]

  • Unbecoming American: THE Option for the Poor

    Unbecoming American: THE Option for the Poor

    Many years ago, in the previous century, an old controversy in the Latin Church was resuscitated, that of Christian poverty. Anyone who pursues the history of the Latin Church and the papal empire will find periodic disputes over the meaning of such dicta as “the poor shall inherit the Earth” or innumerable other citations attributed […]

  • Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Summary of Part I  After briefly reviewing the theories of the relationship between religion and nationalism, I find the theories of Anthony Smith, George Mosse and Adrian Hutchinson the most compelling. They all agree that religion provides the propagandistic foundation for nationalism. But I also claim that it is a particular kind of religion, monotheism, that is […]

  • Missionary Strategy for Social Engineering

    More than twenty years ago I published a study in which I argued that South Africa’s apartheid system was created by mission and land appropriation.1 This obviously implicated the Christian churches, including those that had claimed to be opposed to the British policy enshrined in the National Party programme when it came to power in […]

  • Converting to Christianity, Islam: Does It Prove Anything?

    Converting to Christianity, Islam: Does It Prove Anything?

    Religious conversions later in life are generally greeted as evidence that something terrible must have happened to the converter. The Onion published a satire in 2016, ridiculing Paul D’Amatol, who took up a life of Christian piety in late middle age. It must be ‘drugs or maybe he killed someone in a car accident. Something […]

  • Christian Nationalism vs. the Separation of Church and State

    We have a long tradition in Am­erica of Separation of Church and State that prohi­bits government’s promotion of religion on the one hand, and interference with its free exercise on the other. In their refusal to establish a state church or to favor one religion over another, the Founding Fathers didn’t think that religion was […]
