“Jesus himself is the term of our study of theology not only because he is the archetypal human but also because he is divine. The science of theology is not only a science of the ultimate purpose of human existence. It is also above all a scientia Dei: a science of the Trinitarian God who discloses himself in revelation. And this revelation is given in view of the vision of God: the beatific vision, wherein the Trinitarian God is known intuitively and immediately, “face to face” (1 Cor 13:12); “When he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” (1 Jn 3:2). If Christology is an assimilative science, then, it is also ultimately a science oriented toward beatitude. Beatitude, or happiness, is understood here as the joy and fulfillment that come about uniquely by way of the most perfect possession of God. It is only in seeing God face to face that human persons find ultimate fulfillment, and so the final end of theological knowledge is the perfect possession of God.” - In Fr Thomas White's work titled "The Incarnate Lord: A Thomistic Study in Christology", pp. 506-507.

Ok so do these people ever explain why Europe was at its most powerful when it was Christian?

“The fundamental problem is that many established journalists and politicians have been economical with the truth, focusing on those facts that fit into their liberal or conservative worldview and regurgitating the same progressive narrative about how globalisation, free trade and immigration benefit the people – with the ‘culture wars’ being the exception that proves the rule of this bipartisan consensus. The political mainstream, together with the support of media barons, embraced a utilitarian liberalism according to which the economic benefits of this consensus outweigh the costs. This is held up as an incontrovertible truth that only the racists, bigots and uneducated would deny, even though the evidence suggests that the working class and increasingly the middle class lose out due to pressures on wages, public services and settled ways of life.” - Adrian Pabst - The Demons of Liberal Democracy

Today is the feast of Saint Irenaeus of Lyons who died as a glorious martyr in AD 191.

Saint Irenaeus said the following about the necessity of the Apostolic See of Rome:

“We know that by the tradition derived from the apostles, of the very great, the very ancient, and universally known Church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul, that the faith also preached to men, which comes down to our time by means of the successions of the [Rome’s] bishops. For it is a matter of necessity that every Church should agree with this Church [Rome], on account of its pre-eminent authority, that is, the faithful everywhere, inasmuch as the Apostolic Tradition has been preserved continuously by those [Christians] who are everywhere.” (Against Heresies 3.3.2)

You can't be Christian without the Roman Apostolic See and the bishops that rule it. It's dogmatic.

@vonderleyen Open society consensus is allowing pseudo-religions to destroy the true foundations of Europe: Christianity. Why doesn't the EU promote the spiritual foundations of Europe?

CHURCH FATHER: BEFORE ANTICHRIST, THE CHURCH WILL GROW WEAKER, AND HER VISIBLE SIGNS WILL DARKEN

St. Pope Gregory the Great’s “Moralia on Job” is a truly astounding work. Completed near the end of the 500’s, it was so penetrating in its mystical and spiritual analysis of Job that even St. Thomas Aquinas, in his own commentary, completely skipped the spiritual reading of Job, saying Gregory had done it so well “that nothing further need be added to this sort of commentary.”

In the Moralia, St. Pope Gregory the Great reads the story of Job (partly) eschatologically, and speaks multiple times about how the Church will be profoundly weakened before the arrival of Antichrist, but that this is ultimately to the benefit of the elect, and permitted by God to bring the reprobate into condemnation.

It’s a very humbling and eye-opening observation to read, for Gregory constantly sees in such things God opening highways of mercy and reward for the truly righteous, if only they refuse to be scandalized, which turns Catholics into heretics, schismatics, and apostates.

This is just one of several observations he makes on this front:

“While Holy Church appears more commonplace in this way, deprived of the power of signs, it happens both that the rewards of good people grow greater, because they venerate the Church in the hope of heaven and not because of the signs that she presents, and the minds of bad people are quickly shown to be against the church; they neglect the following of the invisible reality that she promises, because they are not impressed by visible signs.

Accordingly, since the humble faithful are deprived as it were of the multitude of manifest signs, the hidden plan holds a terrible trial, more generous in mercy for those who are good but heavier in righteous anger for those who are bad.

So before Leviathan [Antichrist] becomes manifest and conspicuous, in large part the signs of power in Holy Church cease, and we are told, ‘Poverty goes before his face’ (Job 41:13).”

“Maximus expressly says that the Incarnation-more precisely, the drama of Cross, grave, and Resurrection-is not only the midpoint of world history but the foundational idea of the world itself. The Redeemer is the borderline between all sensible and intellectual motion. For him all the ages were established, along with everything they contain; this synthesis of God and the world is a divine idea, which is older and more deeply hidden than all things and for which everything else remains simply an approach, a means of achievement. And because Maximus does not intend to demonstrate a necessity [for the Incarnation] in the metaphysical sense, but rather [to point to] the meaning of history itself-all history!-he also includes the historical process of sin in this supreme synthesis.” - Balthasar - Cosmic Liturgy, p. 134.

“General ignorance in matters of religion: In weaving its meshes around the people, Liberalism has applied itself to the task of cutting them off from all communication with that which alone is able to lay bare its imposture—the Church. For the past two hundred years, Liberalism has striven to paralyze the action of the Church, to render her mute, and—especially in the Old World—to leave her merely an official character, so as to sever her connections with the people. The Liberals themselves have avowed this to be their aim: to destroy the religious life, to place every hindrance possible in the way of Catholic teaching, to ridicule the clergy and to deprive them of their prestige. In Italy and France today, see the thousand and one artificial arrangements thrown around the Church to hinder and hamper her actions, to render ineffectual her opposition to the flood of Liberalism. The concordats, such as are observed at the present time, are so many iron collars which Liberalism has placed around her neck to stifle her. Freemasonry in Europe and South America are constantly seeking to bind her hand and foot, that she may be put at its satanic mercy. By open and secret means, this organization has sought to undermine her discipline in every country where it has obtained a footing. Between her and the people, it seeks to dig a deeper and deeper abyss of hate, prejudice and calumny.” - Liberalism is a Sin by Fr. Felix Salvany (originally published in 1899).
