On November 24, 2016 I published a post called “The Extraordinary Adventures of Kristen Scharold” which was a response to an article that Kristen Scharold had written in the New York Times about how she had been a devout Evangelical all of her life and is now in a homosexual relationship with another woman. Both of these women claim to be Christian. The post received no comments. It didn’t stand out in terms of the amount of views it got either. That is, until recently.
In the last week and a half, that post has been getting a lot of views. My analytics don’t show a high volume of traffic from Twitter or Facebook so no one has been sharing the post. I simply used Google and found the answer. Famous Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz had spoken in depth about the New York Times article by Kristen Scharold on a podcast called Modern Love. Obviously people had been searching this story online and my post would have come up. One odd thing about the podcast was at the end Weisz said: I felt Jesus’ love for her as she told the story and I found it very moving. I found this a bit odd coming from a Jew like Weisz. She could feel Jesus’ love for her? If she said that she could feel Scharold’s love for Jesus that would make sense but the other way around is odd for a Jew. I guess it goes to show that the true religion of Hollywood isn’t Judaism or Christianity but Gnosticism.
Rachel Weisz is actually in a new movie about a similar topic. It’s called Disobedience. It’s essentially two religious women falling in “love” and they struggle to reconcile their beliefs and their lust. However, it is not with Evangelicals but with Orthodox Jewish women who would have grown up with similar beliefs to Evangelicals on this subject.
I predict that we’re going to be seeing a lot of movies like this in the future. Back in 2005 movies like Brokeback Mountain came out to show forbidden “love” in an anti-homosexual culture. Since Western culture has now caved in to homosexuality, the elites are going about conquering small factions of the culture that haven’t yet caved in. Among these groups are Orthodox Jews, Evangelicals and Catholics. My recent post about Jessica Jones and Netflix is a good example. A movie like Disobedience wouldn’t be small little jab like Jessica Jones but a full frontal assault.
In addition to predicting more movies about this topic of forbidden “love” in a religious environment, I predict that Scharold’s story will eventually be put to the screen. I don’t know if Weisz will be involved but how could Hollywood resist this one? How could Hollywood resist this story about two Evangelicals? It won’t. I predict it’ll be in the theaters within the next five years.
As I said before in my previous post on Jessica Jones, the leftists aren’t promoting atheism anymore. They’re aiming for the utter compromising of the last remnants of traditional religion in the West. I think this is an incredibly smart tactic. The enemies of God aren’t dumb and they certainly won’t stop until Christ’s Church is in ruins.
Here is the post I wrote on Kristen Scharold. It contains a link to the New York Times article.

I am more interested in Catholicism in Spain, Poland, Chile, and Argentina (not so much Africa and Asia though). If they become almost secular, then good. Or if they become Dorothy Day type Catholics, then that’s cool too.
I don’t know about Ireland, though.
I was reading the Communist Manifesto for a class:
I brought this up because Marx thought that Christianity was already spent; he did not regard it as something that has to be diminished.
Many Catholics would say that the liberty from the reformation led to the undermining of Christianity, since it removed the authority of the Church and destroyed the philosophical foundation of that civilization which is Thomism. I have nothing but approbation for the spirit of liberty.
My professor brought up Marx’s views on domestic labor, and Marx would not be seen as progressive on that compared to today. Marx was not concerned with emancipating the housewife.
Hi Latias,
Curious as to why you’d like Spain, Poland, Chile and Argentina to be more secular but not Ireland? I find that a bit odd.
Marx was certainly correct, the revolution was a huge blow to the Christian faith. Protestantism made it vulnerable by fracturing it. Even in the days of Marx, the people didn’t promote the depravity that they are now. Also, when the CM was published the Catholic Church had it’s strongest Pope in the last 300 years. In other words it’s a true statement but has to be qualified.
“Many Catholics would say that the liberty from the reformation led to the undermining of Christianity, since it removed the authority of the Church and destroyed the philosophical foundation of that civilization which is Thomism.”
I fully agree with this.
“I have nothing but approbation for the spirit of liberty.”
I think that anyone with a strong belief in Original Sin would oppose liberty. I know that you don’t believe in that doctrine but when one does, believe me, liberty isn’t that appealing.
God Bless,
Allan
