While the religion has always held a strong political undercurrent, it has been used by a variety of groups as a tool in expressing opposition to Vistari religious institution and established traditions linked to religion. In the modern era, it has been used by LGBTQ+ Activists, Opponents to the teaching of Intelligent Design in private and state schools and other predominantly left-wing movements, both to mock the religious right and in solidarity with the principals of equality for all stated by Witten to be a "''...core tenant of our faith. By the people, for the people. No exceptions.''"
Due to this, Paerdism has seen a rising presence amongst the internet generation, a form of counter-culture that has found itself able to manifest itself as an internet phenomenon in the Vistariaphone part of the internet. The current Holy Stableman, Frans II as elected by the Boerenraaad, has embraced this ''"Rebirth of the belief in the Almighty Wilfred"'' and has taken an active role in ensuring the availability of Paerdist texts and in forming an online community on the official Church website, where freely available copies of texts from the Church and its founders can be found, with foreign translations in a variety of languages being shared on the site as created by volunteers.

It was reportedly during his time in Schemoer where he first met Wilfred, a stallion of Alvan breed, chestnut coloured with a stripe and star upon his face, as well as a white Fetlock on each of his hind legs. According to Witten, the first sight of the stallion was at a local church, where the horse defecated upon the steps leading up to the entrance. Paerdists usually refer to this formally as the "''Thesis by Faeces''", although it has occasionally been referred to as the "''Holy Shit''" in modern dialogues. In later writings, Witten would state, {{quote|"Never have I felt a deeper connection to the soul of a creature than when Wilfred stood upon the entrance to that insult to reason standing before me, and absentmindedly defecated upon it. It was truly a memory that I shall not ask to pay any charter to reside within my mind."|In Loathing Memory, Theodore A. Witten}}
