Comments: There is no arguing with the Culture of Death
"...and as Thomas More observed, sheep eat men when the atheists are in power."
I would think in these perilous times we could manage to stick together, to keep our eyes on the real enemy. Who, by the way, thinks we're all atheists, so to speak. You'll get no points for worshipping the cross or your bellybutton, the knife cuts the throat just the same.

Well, Tim, we'll just have to disagree. The real enemy is the Evil One, in all times and in all nations. The fact that he is garbed as an Arab or a Marxist is simply coincidental, Evil bides his time and is always waiting. I'm happy to hold a rosary in my left hand and a gun in my right.
David Warren invites mature contemplation of the end that awaits us all. If you think Christians are looking for nothing more than a free pass, you know nothing of the sincere demands placed upon you by faith. Don't forget it was Catholic believers who took it to the ragheads in the first place, back around the 11th century.

The Catholics certainly did. The term Medieval Inquisition covers all up to and including the 14th century which started in France in about 1250±.
At that point it was called the French Inquisition, beginning inquisitors were generally chosen Dominicans, to replace using local ordained as judges. Death to heretics and apostates seemed to be the sport of the day. Ardent religious are a rather bloody lot regardless of God's appellation.
