… Our culture is attempting suicide | Catholic Culture.

By pulling down statues of explorers and war heroes, violent leftists show their contempt for our history. But they will not stop there, because the veneration of historical figures, while it is a noble display of pietas, is not the ultimate basis for a healthy culture. Far more important is the cult itself: the veneration of almighty God. So it should be no surprise that, having first taken aim at Civil War monuments, the vandals next set their sights on churches—specifically Catholic churches. If your most cherished objective is to be free of all restraints—if your battle cry is “Non serviam!”—you have ample reason to see the Church as your foe.
