Nuncio: Europe Is Ruled By New Paganism that Kills People Like Plague

His Excellency is spot on! The plague killed only the body, and given the depth of Faith at the time, most of those who died were likely in a state of grace. The new paganism may not kill the body, but it surely kills the soul, which is far, far worse.

Archbishop Thomas Gullickson, the Apostolic Nuncio in Bern, Switzerland, preached for the feast of Saint Antony in the Swiss hamlet Obbürgen (June 17).

In a side-remark he mentioned today’s Europe which is “ruled by a new paganism that kills peoples like the plague that, in the years before [Saint] Antony, assailed Europe.”

Gullickson added, “Today we do not have the plague any more, but we lack Christian weddings and stable families from which healthy and resilient children can emerge.”

“Children are and remain the hope for the future in this world.”

Gullickson is an outspoken Catholic which is extremely rare among faceless Vatican diplomats.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
