Puts Our Times In Context

This is putatively a book of history, written in the past (nearly a century ago)—that actually serves as a compelling assessment of our times. Defining brilliantly who the sides are when it comes to the choice between the empire of “freedom”, ie, slavey by toleration of ever more moral degeneracy and ensnarement in usury, called in this work, “The Modern Attack,” and the Catholic (universal) Church instituted by Christ to save mankind from the slavery offered it in the name of “freedom.” To give the reader hope and context about how the Church is attacked we get a history of the major heretical threats to it in the past and a clever early explanation of why heresy is so devastating to any moral/critical system. To see that the Modern Attack is hardly the first attack, and that the Church did not perish and indeed rebounded from past attacks helps those who have or yearn for faith yet despair in these very dark times, ones in which men, lured, hectored, and shamed to it by women, are giddily embracing vice and demonizing virtue the way a morbidly obese person gobbles Doritos until they can no longer rise from bed under their own power or even escape their own bedroom, so weakened and weighed down by the “freedom” they have been lured into by the junk food purveyor. In the simplest moral terms (no longer taught to children for its supposed irrational “hatred” of the fairer sex) Eve has been tempted by the serpent appealing to her vanity, to encourage Adam to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. And Adam, then convinced he should be equal, indeed is equal to his creator, foolishly complies. Slavery to the serpent and those who vastly profit from it inevitably follows.
