Guillotines of Love
February 25, 2023
“THE Religion of Man is propagated by all modern means. One of its popular appeals is to Peace, but there is no peace, only agitation. ‘Peace’ as constantly shouted simply means surrender — surrender to the forces striving to bring all mankind to a condition of state slavery. The Church’s most persistent enemies have always contended that it was only religion, particularly the Catholic religion, by insisting upon divinely revealed absolute truths, which obstructs a peace based on secular good fellowship. Presumably peace and the good life would follow from a worldwide brotherhood in which all men would be equal. And so it is that such words as ‘discrimination’ and ‘prejudice’ have taken on a special meaning. They are the capital sins of the Religion of Man.
“‘Love’ is another ‘relevant’ word. As it is now commonly noised about, literally no one takes it to mean or even include the love of God. Man is now to be the sole object of love, which as conceived now is only sentiment and emotion. Quite certainly those who will openly oppose this new religion in the future will reap the hatred of the Love shouters, as they do even now in some degree. Pope Benedict XV warned in his time that ‘all the worst and most disordered elements of society ardently desires the revolution.’ Long before Pope Benedict’s time, the French revolutionists set up the guillotine in the name of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.”
