As much as we love the Church, we all know with absolutely certainty that when push comes to shove, we are on our own and when the going gets very tough, we will be thrown under the bus for some kind of politically expedient goal. Ordering the Cristeros to drop their armed struggle, banning Action Française, the 1892 Ralliement to the French Republic, the Toast of Algiers are all pre vatican 2 examples of this.

Darwinism, the 'h0Ɩ0cαųst', the Dreyfus Affair, NASA are disguised attacks against the Church but once again we are on our own in defending it's honour. We even have to argue these points with other Catholics.

Mass migration is an attack against the Church, because society needs cohesion and cooperation in order fulfil God's plan here below. Without cooperation we are simply electrons with no nucleus and order can only come from extremely violent state power.
True and well said.

Quote from: Maria Dolorosa on Today at 08:29:34 AM
When the Lord chastises a people, the chastisement begins with the priest, for he is the cause of the sins of the people, either by his bad example, or by his negligence in attending to their sanctification. Hence the Lord says, The time is that judgment should begin at the house of God (1 Peter iv, 17) In the slaughter described by Ezechiel, God wished the priests to be the first victims of his vengeance: Begin ye at my sanctuary. (Ezech. ix, 6) That is, says Origen, "with the priests." A most severe judgment, says the Wise Man, for them that bear rule. (Wisdom vi, 6). And unto whom, says Jesus Christ, much is given, of him much shall be required. (Luke xii, 48).
