Another Catholic "intellectual" speaks. And with his typical sick hysterical mentality, you would think he wants to establish new crusades and serfdom or at least neo-inquisition.
Quote:What Option for Christians in a Pagan America?
The thesis of his book is fascinating. The young Catholic author says America is heading toward paganism. It will have grave consequences.
He has no illusions about what this means. Paganism is not some politically correct Hollywood depictions of primitive peoples or noble savages. It is that state of humanity where there are no restrictions and taboos. All kinds of cruelty and barbarity are allowed. It will turn citizens into slaves. It leads to rituals, persecutions, and Satanism. Indeed, it will create a Hell on earth.
Above all, his examples show how paganism will seek to eradicate Christianity and especially the Catholic Church. It will seek to re-impose the pagan horrors of human sacrifice, idol worship, and superstition.
Indeed, the author reports that those working on AI “openly talk of ‘building god’ or ‘creating god,’ harnessing god-like powers to transcend the limits of mere humanity.”
Modern methods also assist in crushing resistance to the coming neo-paganism. The author claims that the new post-Christian neopagan ethos “will usher in state-sponsored religious persecution on a scale not seen since the Diocletianic Persecution of the early fourth century.”
Thus, Mr. Davidson analyzes one by one all the influences that are pushing America toward paganism—abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, Satanism, AI, and the pagan state.
He sees abortion and euthanasia as manifestations of human sacrifice. Postmodern witchcraft and Satanism are the equivalent of pagan religious cults. He even documents cases of the appearance of demon-like spirits in today’s nascent AI.
The author is brave. He does not mince words or try to sugarcoat the coming neo-paganism. He has no illusions about what will happen when the shell of the moral teaching of the Catholic Church and what remains of Western Christian civilization fall. It will bring about the destruction of the West, persecution of Christians, and even martyrdom.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
