Throughout history, the action of «He who separates» continued. Saint Matthew tells us, in chapter XXI of his Gospel, the parable of the wicked tenants. We already know that refusing to render accounts and pay the rent carries with it the intention of stealing, the will to murder the envoys and even the Son of the owner of the vineyard, with the ultimate goal of usurping the property. It is clear that this gospel passage speaks to us in the first instance of what happened between the Jewish people and Our Lord. But we see that this cruel methodology has been repeated with enough frequency. If we are far from authority, physically or spiritually, the sense of independence grows, and the enjoyment of a certain autonomy, together with greed, leads us to misappropriate what does not belong to us, since in reality we are only mere tenants (or administrators). We can see that the temptation to emancipate oneself from God, and from the order established by Him, is as old as that first Non serviam.
We all know the power of mass destruction and the devastating consequences that the atomic bomb causes in the material world. This is what physics has achieved, by inventing weapons with immeasurable destructive power, which, between fissions and fusions, neutrons and protons, come to explode the very nucleus of the atom, with chain reactions. It is a terrible example of the disintegration of the Communion achieved by «he who divides», planting pride in our hearts.
The Devil, with the obstinacy of a heretic, continued to promote his divisive ideas: with the separation of Church and State, he broke the Catholic Unity of the kingdoms, which gave them strength, solidity, and life.
Protestant liberalism provided them with the tool that separated souls from the Church and from Tradition, and each one interpreted the letter of the Bible despising the magisterium of the Church. Luther, with Calvin, Zwingli and company, caused a rupture in the heart and in the spiritual unity of Christianity.
The French Revolution, in the eighteenth century, elevating human reason to the rank of the divine, installed it on the altar of Faith, and thus ensued the ruin of the society that was built on the cornerstone, which is Christ. Once emancipated from the Revelation that illuminates and dignifies it, that nation, previously Christian, found itself plunged into apostasy with the arrival of those seven demons stronger than the first, which have plunged it into a state worse than the one it had in pagan times, with the tragic social consequences that we all know and suffer.
In 1793, the French Revolution caused a political fracture, since it separated the people from their head when it guillotined the King; in that abominable regicide that metastasized throughout Christendom.
The times were not long in coming when the disastrous hegemony of «democracy» strengthened its tyranny, and people began to clash, political parties were founded, and peoples fought among themselves, because they despised the warning that the Divine Master left us: «Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation.» The individual believed that with his vote he chose who was going to govern. But what obedience can be expected from the subject on whose power the one in charge depends? The subversion of the political order was already well founded, and the revolutionary dynamic was set in motion without brakes.
Once doctrine was separated from praxis, fascism took hold, and warlords, despots and tyrants emerged. There where they were without reason, they imposed themselves by force, uniting wills without the bond of sound doctrine nor the foundation of truth. Disregarding the Creed, they separated the good from the truth, and without its light, they deceived the peoples like sheep and, in herds, they led them far away. Voluntarism (the view that understands political authority as emanating from the will), in general, lack the solid and clear foundation of traditional doctrine, and are usually the breeding ground for reckless actions that lead to defeat and failure.
Years went by, modern times advanced, and the Devil, who knows because he is the Devil, but knows all the more because he is old, continued to carry out his destructive work, pitting the bosses against the workers, the rich against the poor, the whites against the blacks, children against their parents. The Devil animalized humans and humanized animals. He has continued to dissolve the bonds, breaking the ties that make up the Christian and traditional community. He has replaced them with a substitute, which seems like nothing more than the massa damnata of which Saint Augustine relates to us, where we all find ourselves, confused, stirred-up, kneaded, and ready for the oven.
Today it continues to deepen its deleterious action with gender ideology, pitting women against men; it even goes even further, giving legal status to what is not even a biological identity. These ideologies of death have deprived many of the happiness and joys of fraternity, because an only child grows and develops his despotic selfishness in complete freedom, unable to live in brotherhood, without knowing how to live together as a family, which is where one learns to live in community. For the family is the school of patience and forgiveness, of prudence and charity. And I don’t even want to mention the laboratory aberrations of sorcerers’ apprentices, who want to drag us into transhumanism, where human dignity, so often vaunted, is being systematically annihilated, going against nature and the laws imposed by the Creator.
The father of the family has been stripped of all authority. The murderous hatred of Patriarchy is destroying the constitutive principle of every society. The laws have abolished parental authority, which the Church respected so much, which always took into account the natural order, in order to build. Now the State has usurped that ineffable mission and indoctrinates our children with perverse ideologies; it keeps them kidnapped while massacring innocence. Also, if with abortion they try to separate the mother from her children, with the most murderous dagger, what can we expect from a society in which children must be defended from their mothers and prevent children from giving «sweet death» to their parents? Turn off and let’s go!
Now, in «the new normal», the tyranny of individualism becomes inhuman and cruel, since in it, people live and die in the most tragic solitude. Woe to the lonely man! Vae soli!
