The Popes and Democracy - Part IV. The Master Plan of the Devil 42a. Remarks on the Family Tree

 There are many points in the "Family Tree of Modern Errors" which it would be desirable to develop. Space does not permit me to do so, but it is not difficult to see the relationships between the various errors listed above if one gives the table a little attention. It is quite clear, for instance, that the myth "free and reasonable", i.e. Liberalism and Rationalism, is the one cause that underlines all errors. Consequently, all these errors are inseparable, and more especially Materialism, Capitalism, Democracy and Secular education. Since these errors are inseparable, it is futile to fight against some while supporting others as a worthy ideal. It is also quite clear that Secular Education is but the first step towards Atheistic Education - ("He who is not with Me is against Me".) The children of a Church school could not be taught that there was no God, so the obvious step was to take the schools from the control of the Church, and this was done in the 19th century. The secular schools, however, did not ban religious instruction immediately. That was to be the next step, namely, Secularist Education. But even Secularist education did not dare to attack Christian ideas openly. Some time had to elapse so that the next generation, having had no religious instruction, could the more readily accept anti- Christian ideas spread by Laicist Education. Of course, there was no question at that stage of asserting that God did not exist. It was deemed preferable to omit the name of God whenever possible, and, when not possible, to substitute instead the term "Supreme Being". The use of "Supreme Being" became, in time, so vague and remote as to lose all significance. And so the door was opened for Atheistic Education. This is exactly what has happened, or is happening, with some little variations, in virtually every country. The overall scheme was not so much conceived by man as carried out by him. The overall scheme is the master plan of the Devil to deceive and use men in order to better bring about the destruction of mankind.

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.
