Written eight years ago by Dr. James Hitchcock, this classic essay remains timely, even in its direct and indirect references to current events. IgnatiusInsight.com

“Most professed believers cannot conceive of why it should ever be necessary to make sacrifices for their religion, which is why there is almost total indifference to the fate of the persecuted believers during one of the great ages of religious persecution in the history of the world.

Authentic religion, precisely because it penetrates so deeply into the being of its adherents, has the capacity to inspire either great love and devotion or great hatred, sometimes one transforming itself in to the other. At certain times in history that suppressed hatred bursts out violently, in systematic and frenzied attempts to as,
“Voltaire is supposed to have urged, “Crush the infamous thing.” Such was the French Revolution, the triumph of Communism in Russia, and other episodes.

While particular justifications are offered for this frenzy of annihilation – the privileges of the clergy, ecclesiastical wealth – beneath it all is something which no degree of “reform,” nor attempts by Christians to be accommodating, could ever expunge – hatred of a system of beliefs which calls each man’s life into question at every moment, which reminds people of the infinite God who judges their every action. It is this which finally is intolerable to a certain kind of mind, which senses that it will not be at peace with itself until every vestige of this transcendent claim has been eradicated.

The often sadistic violence of the French Revolution seemingly betrayed the cool rationality which the Enlightenment proposed. But not the least of the Enlightenment’s inadequacies was that it did not understand the irrational forces which it was helping to unleash. Today the tradition of the Enlightenment appears to have reached its end in the murky half-light of “post-modernism.” However, classical Enlightenment critiques of Christianity – that it superstitious and repressive – are now invoked with more effect than at any time in the past two hundred years, and with the same potential for irrational violence.

Among the numerous “stories” which the media ignore are the acts of vandalism directed at churches, occurrences which seem to have become so common as to be treated almost routinely. To date this is about as far as the enemies of religion have gone in inflicting physical harm.

But the frenzied symbolic assaults on religion are numerous and frightening, revealing as they do the barely suppressed violence which its enemies harbor and which, it is fair to judge, they would eagerly act out in life if given the opportunity. The hateful blasphemies of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco are merely one example.” Continue tomorrow.

Now, Why do They Love Catholic-in-name-only Politicians so much? The Cinops have become the useful idiots or secularists’ idiots for what Pope John Paul II coined as the Culture of Death in the world. The CINOPS are the most dangerous politicians in America. (Cinops be gone)
