Entry: A New Humanism in Europe Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_new_humanism_in_europe#6231 Post contents: <<Antonio Salazar’s Portugal, Tiso’s Slovakia, and Petain’s Vichy were more prosperous, lived better in peace with their neighbors, better overcame old antagonisms with neighbors, defended better personal rights and freedom, and enable their citizens to overcome their dark pasts with a new ideological stability than Roepke’s, Erhart’s and Adenhauer’s (all Christian Democrats) Germany?>> In the long run, as a Catholic, I vote YES. But not because those governments were "better" than, say, Adenhauer's Germany, but because they allowed a Catholic to remain a Catholic for longer. Eventually, in the longER run, every government destroys every man and his Faith. Only Jesus can save us, not the governments of man. Evil offered God all the kingdoms of the world if He were to bow down and worship him. God refused, because He knew there was nothing good that could come of government. Sent at: 2008 11 22
