Be of Good Cheer - the Reason

Gil Bailie once said somewhere that the primitive sacred has such an entrenched place in human culture - it is our default, fall-back position since it is the origin of fallen cultural anthropology - that when those of the Christian faith attempt to work against it, it seems to carry a near-omnipotent power to thwart our efforts. It seems like a vast conspiracy, so well organized is it with lightning-like communication and mobilization between its proponents and officer-class leaders.

This explains why this is going to feel like a no-win situation for Catholic truth, faith, and morals.

We should neither be afraid nor despairing. Our Lord promises us we will have tribulation in this world; but to be of good cheer. For, He tells us, "I have overcome the world"

So gird up your loins, Christian. We have work to do.
