Supreme Star Chambers

U.S. and Canadian critics complain of activist judges; judges complain of ignorant critics. Their debate is vain because both sides have spurned God, Christ and the Magisterium who founded our laws and gave them unity, consistency and coherence. Instead of applying divine principle, purpose and authority, judges now interpret words of human Will and critics appeal to it: i.e. public policy, public opinion or statutes all controlled ultimately by sexual hedonists in Hollywood. Judicial independence and professionalism have gone. Holds that all must proclaim Divine and Papal authority or perish.
