Dechristianization of the West (future of European Christianity) [Orth/Cath Caucus]

Orthodox England ^ | 23 July/5 August 2004 | Fr Andrew Phillips

The Dechristianization of Western Europe is obvious from its contemporary way of life. It is obvious from reading any newspaper or watching any television programme in Western Europe. It is obvious from the sight of thousands of former Protestant and Catholic churches all over Western Europe, already converted to secular uses, or else newly up for sale. Little wonder that the political leaders of the ‘European Union’ refused to mention the Christian roots of Western Europe in their recently-written Constitution for that Union, for most of them seem not even to have known that these roots exist.

I know this article is a bit dated, but much still holds true today. Pray that a Catholic/Orthodox reawakening in Europe can still save the continent, and by extension, the USA.

Would a protestant reawakening not do?

[RedDogzRule]

That certainly would be a wonderful sight if that would occur!

Give them all a copy of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland.

Why don’t any politicians run on a dechristianization platform?

But you know that the hypnotized never lie? Do ya?
