...Poupard, who is president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, lamented that: "Christians are mocked for their faith; many young couples are ostracized socially if they want a lot of children; those who oppose same-sex 'marriage' are considered intolerant." The forms of persecution, "hidden or overt, will bear their fruits," he added.
This is not unique to Europe; sounds like my workplace...
...The refusal to make even a reference to Christianity in the new European Union’s constitution is an effort "to eradicate the evidence of Christian faith."
Francis Schaefer has done a wonderful job of tracing the progress of ideas from philosophy, to art, and finally to the political and social arena. He has chronicled the European conversion to postmodern secular humanism, abandoning their Christian heritage. He notes that trends in Europe tend to predate similar trends in the US by 20 to 50 years. We certainly see similar moves afoot here. The whole revisionist secular humanists here mis-characterize the anti-establishment clause of the Constitution, which the Framers intended to preclude a national church (both Virginia and Massachusetts had state churches), and instead substitute the Jeffersonian phrase from a private letter advocating a "wall of separation between church and state".; The secular humanists go on to attempt to purge all aspects of Christianity from our public lives.
I saw a special on the root of the "sexual revolution" today. I began in Stockholm with a rejection of Christian values in the early 40's. It started with sex ed, then to birth control, then graduated to porno, the legalization of bestiality then to child pornography. They know child porno is wrong, but have gone to the point of no return. How long will it take America to legalize sex with animals and child porno? Swedish feminists now understand the "sexual revolution" was about liberating men's perversions. When will ours?
