Katy Perry, Beyonce & Otto Scott On The Ascendancy of the Pornographic

In light of the recent Grammy Awards (which can be viewed easily enough on youtube) as well as the filth that comes out of Washington DC, I thought this quote from Otto Scott to be on target. An excellent book that teases this reality via a historical overview is Dr. E. Michael Jones

“After their departures the pillars of the Age of Reason toppled sideways for lack of a sound foundation, lesser men came crawling out of the lower dark. Then the condition of France became different from the rest of Europe in a very real sense, and the enemies of the nation watched with some satisfaction. A great loosening began; the country slowly came apart.

For the first time since the decadent days of Rome, pornography emerged from its caves and circulated openly in a civilized nation. The Catholic Church in France was intellectually gutted; the priests lost their faith with their congregations. Strange cults appeared; sex rituals, black magic, Satanism. Perversion became not only acceptable but fashionable. Homosexuals held public balls to which heterosexuals were invited and the police guarded their carriages. Prostitutes were admired; swindles and sharp business practices increased.”

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

One thought on “Katy Perry, Beyonce & Otto Scott On The Ascendancy of the Pornographic”

  1. Scott’s “King James the Fool” is one of the best books I’ve read.

    Overwhelmingly, Knoxian/Calvin scholars have zero agreement with R2K theologians.

    Somehow, R2K theologians try to paint Calvin, who wanted the First Table enforced, as R2K.

    Dr Hart is expert at this
