It is war
The Irish state is waging war on the Catholic Church. The aim is to marginalise or destroy not only the Church but also Christian culture.
The state is abetted in this project by our ever-gullible media, the at-sea universities and a host of other state-funded agencies.
What is to replace Christianity? Secularism, a religion of profound despair, with its exclusion of God, its degrading of human dignity, its rejection of reason and its morality of “choice”, favouring the powerful.
A Catholic, for example, can no longer, de facto, be President of Ireland, given the evil bills the president is now expected to sign into law.
A few weeks ago the state joined forces with the Irish Times, subsidising its production of a leftwing magazine. The government also used taxpayers’ money to dispatch copies of the anti-Catholic propaganda to all schools.
This arrogantly promoted the secularist religion and morality among both teachers and students, even in Catholic schools.
In the Children’s Rights referendum parents were fooled into signing over to the state the right to protect their children. Now, girls in their early teens can have an abortion without their parents even being informed.
For decades the state has funded the Women’s Council to promote cultural Marxism under the guise of feminism. Many Catholic groups were part of this outfit until they finally woke up to its real agenda.
The present abortion law will force Catholics out, or prevent them entering, GP medicine and other sectors of health care. The message is clear: Catholics need not apply.
These are just a few of the steps the state is taking to impose a new Penal Law on the Catholic and pro-life people of Ireland.
At this point we need a full analysis of the state’s campaign against Christian culture and its promotion of despair.
This cultural revolution, in general, is not coming from the people except insofar as they are being manipulated by the media or their minds are shaped by a deformed university education.
Rather, it is being promoted or imposed from the top down, part of the EU’s drive towards a new tyranny in our country.
Church authorities at all levels have been largely blind or indifferent to the assault on our faith and culture. Worse, they are often complicit in it.
A profound renewal of faith would still be possible, given a vigorous missionary effort. Instead we are witnessing the assisted suicide of Christianity in our country.
Meanwhile, adherents of the secularist religion are on fire to promote their anti-gospel with its despairing vision of life. So strange and sad.
