Religion is to be destroyed, or neutered and rendered into a choir repeating the tropes of their secular masters, ever comforting the powerful and afflicting the weak.

Sarah seems to have a gift of foresight into where God’s church is heading. A neutered church is a non-church or even worse, a devious placeholder, a barrier to the real Holy Church Christ established.
I for one, cannot envision waking up Sunday morning and rushing to church to hear a homily about the climate.
Religion, the freedom of religion is man’s response to the gift of Faith from God. The gift of Faith from God must be desired and welcomed by persons.
Is it freedom these evil tyrants wish to destroy or is it the acknowledgement of God and God Himself from the public square and in private homes and in our hearts? Is it the Truth, the Life and the Way that irks these devils?
Maybe it is the Immaculate Conception who reminds the tyrants of the freedom they have ignored and forfeited. Mary asked for perpetual virginity, in body and soul, when her immortal human soul was created in original innocence. God granted perpetual virginity to Mary who became the Immacualte Conception. Perhaps like Satan, these tyrants are demanding infinity. Whereas God could only endow immortality at creation.
There is always the Sacrment of Penance for those of us who have lost some of our virginity.
Francine’s remarks in Canada were a manifestation of that to which you’re referring.
Western civilisation is now the western globalised elite. How does Cardinal Sarah reconcile his calling with the direction of the institution he us a part of? Must be a difficult position to be in as a Faithful leader.
George W. chimed in on the metastasizing of error in this inside assault on Truth;

I’m reminded of St. John Bosco’s vision of the Church under attack.
Those two Beautiful Pillars, the Eurchrist and Our Lady. We must place ourselves at the very heart of those pillars and take comfort knowing that regardless of the assault and who the assailants are, it doesn’t fail. It doesn’t sink.
This storm and these attacks will only strengthen the remnant Church.
As Joan of Arc said when questioned by bishops at her trial for heresy, “the
Church is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is the church.” The evil one and his minions in this world are trying to convince us otherwise. When it will happen I know not but our Blessed Lady will not only defeat Satan and his worldly minions, She will crush them. Don’t lose heart.
“I for one, cannot envision waking up Sunday morning and rushing to church to hear a homily about the climate.”
Don L, then go to visit Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament Who makes the church holy.
