As the social situation of our country seems to specifically announce each month the threat of civil war - recent events that shook the city last week in Grenoble we whisper clearly - It is necessary to consider the spiritual situation in which Catholics will find themselves, since nothing on the horizon that promises a positive change in meteorology policy. While it is still possible to dream the big night, imagine the sudden upturn France and the return of a Christian king. But if hope is a political virtue, the blindness to reality and hard facts as they occur and in some way as we speak, turns easily into sin and exposes the victories was expected to disillusionment and defeat. Now let us imagine that these facts? That the days of empire are over, after Greece and Rome, the West in turn sick too fatal disease, is nearing completion, and that if he lived gigantic and grandiose more a millennium, it is likely, as the name suggests we, know that the sun in this century its setting.
Thus, the Apocalypse of civilization, it is the duty of every Christian to engage in the city anyway, as a Christian, it is also important to know that his Christianity will never be proven according to the rules of the political by nature dependent on a place and time, but above all by the same test of faith, beyond cultures and nations where it is rooted, however. From this perspective, the political imperative ancillary turns into the light of changes that lie ahead and prepare them for a long time coming now. For more than a political crisis, possibly lethal, it is a metaphysical transformation and deposition of the West, as we know, that is to say, as the place of emergence of Christian civilization, which began and which we will face . However, this confrontation will not oppose a policy to another, but pure politics, whose fanatical atheism and radical Islam are the most symptomatic manifestations, this religion of the Incarnation that once reigned here, and that we will find, from a personal point of view, first by us before you want the status of law ... Of course, no thing is fixed, or played once for all, and reason itself us learns that the miracle is possible, but if this is not the catacombs that we will fear is the great look of a civilization in which we would not place where we showed more ... It is preferable to some of the defeats victories ...
other words, threat, at present, is less than the anticipated end of France, Europe, the West, or whatnot, that ghostly relic of a continent that would know nothing else than the political one ... because ultimately, it would simply say that the West would have existed in vain and that his genius, which has distinguished theological of politics, remains a dead letter. Also, they are not Catholics to join the game of politics but, rather, for them to retrieve it up to preserve the faith of its miasma, but it is forbidden for all s' to engage in politics as an animal, to quote Aristotle, while refusing to get lost as a creature of God, and knowing that Christ has not called for soldiers but disciples. In those circumstances, the Christians, more than anyone, it is up to mark clearly the distance, rejecting chimeric commitment theological-warrior, to serve as decidedly not, "the Kingdom is not of this world! " that faith is an order that the policy does not, and if societies collapse and die, God, He guides us still. In short, to "render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar ... "And there also may save the very idea of politics. Get off the idea of the throne where we may consecrate the idol worshiping better than Christ Himself, to restore it paradoxically its pedigree ... Such is the challenge that we, Catholics, before the reduction to one political symbol times of disaster, arguing that it can serve us, we will win ...
