Brits at Their Worst

In the dreariest way imaginable -- so it is with evil -- the mandarins of the European Union and their minions have managed to bring the old Christian West to its knees. As Cat at Brits at Their Best says, 'On the night of 12 March the Lisbon Treaty bill cleared its final hurdle in the House of Commons. The bill of shame now goes to the Lords. MP William Hague declared that "Everything about the ratification of this re-packaged [EU] Constitution has been marked by cynicism and calculation." And, we would add, by subterfuge, subversion, and treason.'

For a very able foreshadowing of these events, I recommend a rereading of C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength.

Sadly, whereas Lewis' Belbury is utterly destroyed by its own machinations and a stroke of divine, consequential judgment, people of the Faith can at present only pray and practice the virtues in a time of neo-pagan resurgence in the form of nihilistic secularism and Islamic conquesting aggression.
