The once
Christian Western world is gradually sinking into a sea of mud in ever thickening
darkness. Vice and error are glorified as virtue, and truth is persecuted.
People no longer boast of moral righteousness and of the rule of reason but of
anarchy, irrationality and the "de-construction" of the concepts
which sustain the life of thought.
The crisis of
the family, the perversion of the youth, the growth of random and senseless
violence, fruit of an ever more intense criminality, are spreading by the day.
We are
witnessing the tenebrous sunset of a civilization; a new invasion of
barbarians, not on horseback through the steppes or boldly crossing seas in
rickety boats: they are born and raised in this very world they are going to
destroy They are a fruit of the counter-education received from broken homes,
schools, society, and a media and entertainment industry gone awry.
No
civilization can sustain itself and make progress without being based on
logical and coherent thought and on solid and consistent morals. In other words,
truth and good are the foundation and pillars sustaining the social, cultural
and religious life that give a sense of purpose to the lives of individuals and
to the collective life of peoples. If this is missing there is chaos in
people's minds, customs, and in society.
The frantic
quest for absolute and unbridled freedom has led man to shake off all
restrictions imposed by morals, logic and even nature. Deconstruction of the
truth and the good has led him to "deconstruct" the reality of his
own body by denying the evidence of his sex stemming from anatomy and
physiology; and as a consequence, he plunges himself into the surreal world of
the homosexual culture.
Without the
truth to guide him and morals to govern him, man has turned into flotsam and
jetsam adrift in the vastness of the sea, dragged away by the waves with no
defined purpose or direction.
The
Renaissance, when Western civilization began to turn its back on the
"philosophy of the Gospel" which, in the words of the Latin Pope Leo
XIII, characterized medieval Christendom, marked the start of a long process of
apostasy that has come all the way to today's virtually atheistic society.
