Flannery O’Connor said that you have to push back against the world as hard as it pushes against you. Christians today – Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox alike – aren’t pushing very hard at all. Consequently, we’re getting pushed around, and catechized by an anti-Christian culture.

There is the problem and the solution in a nutshell.

Don't be mere consumers of culture. Build the culture you want to live in. Be the patriarch you were waiting for someone else to be, or you thought we no longer needed. You are needed, by your family and by the people who surround you as you go through the course of your day.

Stop letting the culture raise your kids for you, and define your priorities, and decide the talking points of the day.

This takes a slightly more determined people and a slightly more muscular Christianity than many people are used to. But it really just means being who you say you are, and letting God lead you as you lead your own family.

“Stop letting the culture raise your kids for you, and define your priorities, and decide the talking points of the day.”

Great points - especially the one above. The masses have been controlled by the MSM/left/atheist “talking points”.

We need to be brave, walk towards the fire and take on the fight. We need to start stepping up and creating the “talking points” - people will follow.
