The conflicting opinions which exist in our society, far from being "healthy" and "stimulating", lead to sterility, divisions and dissensions. They cancel out one another and only confusion and bewilderment remain. The triumph of private judgment and belief in free expression lead to unbridled exteriorisation of the lower instincts, and to unlimited and destructive freedom of action. Materialism, moral decay, godlessness, widespread rivalry and hatred, and eventually wars and revolutions, are the inevitable outcome. It is no mere coincidence that rebellions, coups and riots are flaring up all over the world. They are only milestones on the road of Hatred paved with a disorderly love for freedom. Freedom in the liberal sense of the 18th-century philosophers is a self-destructive mirage, bathed in blood.

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.
