I Was Born Unto Cultural Warfare

I was raised a Catholic, and walked out of my first confession when the priest called me a liar. Later, I suspect he wanted to hear I was masturbating. I was eleven years of age, and indeed, I had just discovered my first erections brought me great pleasure.

I was not alone in this revelation. I was lined up with my peers waiting to enter the little booth. The girls were lined up across the way, segregated from us. This was a deliberate wedge. The Catholic church knew what age we were ripe for a good shaming.

Jesus did not give virginal men the duty to keep us separated from our sexual pleasure, and our feminine schoolmates. What do virgins understand about sex? That is not the point. The truth is, the Catholic church has built cathedrals in the chasm that lie between our innocent desires. The Popes have amassed untold wealth by mining our innocence, bringing up our guilt like gold in the dirt! It is pubescent children who paid for all those Catholic hospitals that OUR President is NOT attacking and defiling. This is a dirty invention of Bishops, Cardinals, and the Pope in order to drive a political Wedge between the People of the United States of America. – and blackmail the un-born children of America!

These Catholic hospitals belong to every virginal boy and girl who enters a confession with the belief their innocence will come under the protection of Angels, and Jesus Christ himself! It is these Bishops who corrupt that contract, because children can not grasp the complexity of the covert political cleverness being born here, behind closed doors, in the dark, it brought out into the light – The Devil’s Wedge!

Above is a painting that got destroyed in the on-going culture wars fought amongst Christians. For complex reasons the Pope backed William of Orange in the Battle of Boyne. Our Founding Fathers never dreamed We Americans would ever engage in such battles, here, in OUR Democracy!

Sanctuary!

My ancestor was there. He would be dismayed to see this war declared on suspected non-believers, because that’s what other Popes and Catholic Kings, had called the Protestants. They were titled heretics ‘Children of Satan’ then murdered by the thousands. The Rosamond family lost their ancient homes in Europe. We fled to England, and then America, when as Orangemen we battle Catholic gangs.

“And when news of the Boyne victory reached the Pope and leaders of his allies in the League of Augsberg, prayers and songs were sung in his honour in the Catholic cathedrals of the countries, and as the painting shows, the Pope gave his blessing to William of Orange.”

I have come to free our God Given Sexual Urges from the Kidnappers. On this day I place a wreath of roses and thorns around my President and all those who are loyal to Democracy – before they are loyal to their church, for most Christian claim JESUS FOUNDED OUR DEMOCRACY. If true, then we are all in his all inclusive church, believer, and un-believer alike.

Unless this group of Bishops can prove Jesus was favorable to any Democracy, and the founding of this Democracy was his desire and will, then they have no say so about any matters outside their church, lest their human opinions interfere with the outcome Jesus and God have in store for All Americans!

In the marriage contracts all my grandparents made in America, there came together the Catholic, the Protestant, the Freethinker – and they born fruit in the New World. In these Democratic Unions, there flow real mortal blood, the same blood that ran through the vains of the mortal Jesus, who shed human blood, not divine blood, for the sin we inherit, so we can go forth, and Create Bonds With Angels, our children, and our children’s children.

Let no man cast asunder what God brought together! If you have not born a child in this Democracy, then I suggest you walk to the back of the line:
For the least of you shall be first! May the Children of America be Free of this religious war! All children want peace – especially when their parents are at war with one another! That two creative artists were born of religious conflict, should tell you, Jesus and God have had enough!

In 1934, a former RUC Inspector and “extreme right-wing bigot”, Unionist MP John Nixon (1880 – 1949) led a gang of Loyalists into Stormont where they slashed the painting with a knife and threw crimson paint over the image of the Pope. The painting was taken down and sent away for restoration. It was never seen again, and today is estimated to worth over £500,000. (1)

“In 1825, in the village of Fenagh in county Leitrim in Ireland, a
gang of Catholic youths attacked the Rosamond home. The Rosamonds
were staunch Protestants. James, aged 20 (born 1805) and his brother
Edward, aged 15, attempted to protect their mother. A shot was fired
by Edward and a youth was dead. The boys fled to Canada. James went
to Merrickville where he worked for James Merrick as a weaver.
Edward, still fearing arrest, worked his way eventually to Memphis,
Tennessee.”

The Wieneke cote of arms contains a bunch of grapes. The Wieneke family were Catholic Germans who were forced to flee Germany due to the Kulturkumpf (cultural warfare) waged by Bismark against the Catholic Church. Bismark’s ancestors had come to favor the religions of the Stuttmeisters, and the Rosamond family who were Protestants. Mary Magdalene Rosamond’s cousin, Mother Dominica Wieneke, was the founder of Briar Cliff college in Iowa. She was a Sister of Saint Francis.

“The History of Mount St. Francis The Sisters of St. Francis of the
Holy Family were founded in Herford, Germany in 1864. Forced to
emigrate by the Kulturkampf, the small community arrived in Iowa
City on Sept. 8, 1875. Here they established the first orphanage
under Catholic auspices in the state of Iowa. In 1878, Bishop
Hennessy invited them to move to Dubuque to establish a diocesan
orphanage. Today, 125 years later, Mount St. Francis Center in
Dubuque is the home for approximately 375 sisters. It is also home
for those who are retired and those who need full-time nursing care.
It houses the central administrative offices of the congregation as
well as the novitiate community, where young women live and study as
they prepare to become members.”

What is in a name? I believe Royal and Mary Magdalene Rosamond came together to repair a great split in the Christian Church, awaken a Sleeping Kingdom. Grimms named Sleeping Beauty, Rosamond. The artistic legacy left by Christine Rosamond, is no longer in the hands of Stacey Pierrot. My two nieces, Shannon and Drew, need to come together and refresh this Family Legacy. I will gift them my publishing company, Royal Rosamond Press, to this end. I suggest they hire an agent and manager to put together a company that will serve members of our family for generations to come.

The French statesman Cardinal Richelieu caused the political downfall of the Huguenots with the capture (1628), after a long siege, of their principal stronghold, La Rochelle. Thereafter he sought to conciliate the Protestants. Louis XIV, however, persecuted them mercilessly, and on 18th October, 1685, he revoked the Edict of Nantes. Finding life in France intolerable under the ensuing persecutions and evaporation of religious liberty, hundreds of thousands of Huguenots fled to England, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the English colonies in North America, including Massachusetts, New York, and South Carolina. The total emigration is believed to have been from 400,000 to 1 million, with about 1 million Protestants remaining in France. Thousands of Protestants settled in the Cévennes mountain region of France and became known as Camisards; the attempt of the government to extirpate them resulted in the Camisard War (1702-05). The enlightened and religiously sceptical spirit of the 18th century, however, was opposed to religious persecution, and during this time the French Protestants gradually regained many of their rights. Although Louis XV issued an edict in 1752 declaring marriages and baptisms by Protestant clergymen null and void, under Louis XVI the edict was recalled. After 1787, Protestant marriages were declared legal, and Protestants were granted other rights as well. Several laws passed later in the 19th century gave full religious freedom to all French sects, including the Protestants. In the 19th and 20th centuries French Protestants, although comparatively few in number, have been influential in French life, playing an important part in education, law, and finance, and in general taking a liberal stand on social reform.

Immediately after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, one William Rosamond, a Huguenot, fled from France. He was married to a lady whose maiden name had been Anne d’Orr . (French ‘of gold’).
There are a number of researchers looking into the family history.The findings of some are as follows:
1. In 1925 William Sam Rosamond did a relatively complete genealogy. His research indicated that we were descended from a Huguenot born in France sometime in the mid to late 1600s. He discovered that his earliest traceable ancestor was a “Sergeant” Rosamond who left France following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes on 22nd October 1685. He found that Sergeant Rosamond supposedly travelled to Holland where he joined the army of William III, went to England, and from there went with William’s army to Ireland. He fought in the Battle of the Boyne on 1st July 1690 (by the old calendar – 12th July by the new calendar) and then remained in County Leitrim, Ireland. (There is still a family of Rosamonds in County Leitrim.) He had three sons, two of whom went to the American colonies and settled in the mid-Atlantic region.

The controversial painting which shows the Pope blessing William of Orange
Mystery surrounds the fate of a painting by the minor Dutch master Pieter Van der Meulen (see above), which portrays William of Orange and his generals being blessed by Pope Innocent XI before the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. As Peter Berresford Ellis reveals in the Irish Democrat, the picture reveals “one of the great myths of history” – how Orange propaganda turned the Williamite conquest of Ireland into a war between Catholic and Protestant. In 1934, a former RUC Inspector and “extreme right-wing bigot”, Unionist MP John Nixon (1880 – 1949) led a gang of Loyalists into Stormont where they slashed the painting with a knife and threw crimson paint over the image of the Pope. The painting was taken down and sent away for restoration. It was never seen again, and today is estimated to worth over £500,000. (1)

As Berresford notes, “pandering to popular ignorance was always a policy of Loyalism”: the fact that William of Orange was funded by the Pope who funded his victories at the Boyne and the Battle of Aughrim. And when news of the Boyne victory reached the Pope and leaders of his allies in the League of Augsberg, prayers and songs were sung in his honour in the Catholic cathedrals of the countries, and as the painting shows, the Pope gave his blessing to William of Orange.

The background of the struggle in Europe was between Louis XIV of France and his ambitions to dominate Europe – supported by the Stuart King, James II. Their opponents set up a grand alliance at Augsberg which became known as the League of Augsberg. among their members was William of Orange and Pope Innocent XI, as temporal head of the papal states as well as head of universal church.

The painting hung in the Orange parliament unnoticed until March 8th 1933, when as a Unionist MP, Nixon rose in Stormont to demand from the Prime Minister Lord Craigcavon why was there a picture of William of Orange hanging in what he called a “protestant parliament for a protestant people ?”. His immediate reply is not recorded, but when he did a year later, Craigavon said first:

“I am an orangeman first and a protestant and a member of parliament afterwards . . . All l boast is that we have a protestant parliament and a protestant state”.
He added that the portrait was not his responsibility, it was that of the Speaker of the House, no adequate reply was forthcoming. Seven weeks later Nixon and his gang attacked the painting. No action was taken against Nixon, and the matter was quietly forgotten. As Berresford observes, one wonders where the picture has disappeared to?

In June 1998, a senior Orangeman, the Rev Brian Kenaway, a member of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, asked that the British government give back the controversial painting to help promote King Billy as “an icon for both protestants and Cathiolics can admire”. He claims, remarkably, that King Billy’s legacy was not meant to spell “protestant domination over Catholics” – it just sowed the seeds for miltary conflict between Britain and Ireland for the next 300 years !
