"The standard operating key of this campaign is to target anyone that doesn’t hold “modern” progressive views. Anyone who espouses the unacceptable teachings of Christ or challenges their view of acceptable Christianity must be removed from the public life, because they represent a danger to the Western world’s cherry-picked view of Christianity."
Ojel L. Rodriguez "The error of Western Civilization is that it has divorced Christ from his Cross” these words, probably theatrical in tone, integrate greatly the recent political news arising from our Anglosphere world. Voiced on a rerun of the program “A life Worth Living” hosted by the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the words summed up the greatest threat to our Western society, highlighted by the past few weeks news cycle -- the removal of Christianity from the public sphere.
"The uproar raised by comments by a backbench member of the British Parliament and the line of questioning from certain U.S. senators to a judicial nominee are perfect examples of how this campaign by Western liberalism is being normalized. This campaign, based in the misguided belief in liberal “equality,” is menacing the order necessary to sustain our society under the mantle of ordered liberty.
"Last week in the U.S. Senate, examples of these attempts to bar anyone who holds, in their words, “orthodox” or “extreme” views from the public sphere, were in full display. Judicial nominee Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump's nominee for the 7th Circuit Court, was questioned by Democratic senators such as Diane Feinstein and Dick Durbin on whether her Catholic faith would be an impediment to her as a judge. Question range from “Do you consider yourself an ‘orthodox Catholic?” from Durbin to Feinstein comments “…I think in your case, Professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern.' ” . . .
"The exclusion of the Christian religion amounts to removing the driver from the wheel, with the consequences being a society in decay. So it is absolutely right that Christianity should be at the heart of our public life, not sidelined to a private Benedictine bubble."
