Enslavement as a Banner of Liberation

     "Much of the enslavement of evil is proceeding currently under the fashionable banner of liberation.  The "Big Lie" is in flower, spawned and spread by the the father of lies, Lucifer.  He who did not care a whit for our agency in the beginning now comes to man in the name of freedom.  Milking the legitimate aspirations and yearnings for freedom, exploiting the many injustices that need correction, Lucifer plays siren songs upon the harpstrings of our humanity.
     Two alternatives are arrayed before us.  We see on one side amorality, anarchy, insensate individuality, abortions, violence, and corruption, and on the other side, liberty, love, sensitivity, respect for life, peace, and integrity.  When we know what we know about the alternatives, why do we so often choose as we choose?  One reason is that today's disciples live in a time of many terrible trends which, bit by bit, can entangle us like Gulliver."
