The Remnant Laments NFL Move toward Streaming?
A current article by Remnant columnist Greg Maresca is lamenting an apparent trend in the NFL to move away from freely broadcast football games, toward pay per view online streaming.
Is that an odd lament for allegedly traditional Catholics, or just one more polluting consequence of indultarian compromise (ie., Their clinging to a conciliar church who’s compromise with the world makes them theirselves worldly)?
Catholics are called to fight the spirit of worldliness.
Between the smutty and perverted commercials, the intemperate drinking parties, and apparent obliviousness to the fact that participation in this spectacle falls immediately before Lent during Septuagesima (“Forelent”), when we are supposed to be ramping up penances to atone for our vices, weaknesses, sins, and compromises with “the world, the flesh, and the devil,” you’ll pardon me if I find concern that the NFL will no longer broadcast its games for free on national television to be an unwitting and incongruous admission of the very worldliness we’re called to reject.
I’d rather see articles exhorting Catholics to throw out their TV sets (“Jewish tabernacles” as one bishop calls them), than lamenting the demise of freely broadcast games.
That such an article would appear on the Remnant and/or cause them no embarrassment gives a strong indication that that this type of conciliar Catholic has become oblivious to their own compromise with worldliness.
