Onfray has confirmed here what I’ve been telling people ever since the Satan Council closed up shop in 1965, which is that much of the disintegration of civilized culture around the world can be attributed to what that Council did to destroy the Church.
I left Catholic HS in 1964. That summer we Moved to the burbs and I went to public school for my 11th and 12th grade. Also became a lapsed Catholic for a number of years. In the early 70s i went to a Mass and was shocked and disappointed into what the church had become.
