Are we witnessing the beginning of Catholic resurrection in the West?
Just a morning Eurika: are Catholic countries in Europe & Latin America, with a strong cultural affiliation to tradition (despite being secular) going to see resurgence in positive migration into them from Protestant places who succumbed to multiculturism & wokery?
When one looks at the current situation in Europe for example, despite the EU, ECHR etc, many countries are actively rethinking and changing immigration & welfare laws – France, Italy etc. However, the immigration issue is already a problem there. But that’s not the case in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and other East European countries who stood their ground on the refugees quotas. Moreover, the other common denominator to all those places is the unwavering pride in their religious and cultural traditions, which they do not wish to sacrifice for the social fads like progressive wokery.
And that brings me to another observation – these countries in Europe, similarly to some other in Latin America are Catholic, with regard to their religious tradition. And each place bears unique fundamentals, not all are backward swamps of economic failure. Can one think of Czech Republic or Poland as failed states?
The refugee issue cannot be viewed separately from the underlying decades long social engineering which raised at least 2 generation in imaginary luxury values, some of them totally devoid of the hard facts of science. We are practically full circle back to the Medieval Church’s teachings about the correct conjugal positions so that men will not get pregnant. Guess what, after a millennia, according to the ‘new science’ men can get pregnant and even nurse babies. This contempt and deliberate disregard of biology goes hand in hand with the detached views of the people who flood into West. The supernatural, actually magical, belief in a power of an individual opinion to transform physical reality has brought us to the brink of disintegration and demographic cliff.
Back to Catholicism. There has been a lot of talk over the last 50 years on the global crisis of Christianity and empty churches. The Catholic church has been singled out in particular for a special criticism of its alleged inability to reform and step with the times and new social mores. However, since the Pope John Paul II ( the Polish Karol Józef Wojtyła), the Vatican seems to have quietly embarked on reforming the ‘creed’. Without much of public declarations and funfairs, it ratified contraceptives, married couples who wish to ascend to priesthood are accepted (UK), divorces are tolerated and much more. That without losing the pride in its tradition and culture.
As the full scale of ginormous immigration and social crises unfolds in Europe, with people rising and marching to openly protest their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, I see a trickle of migration within the Continent and outside it, with the trend being into the Catholic countries from the Protestant ones: be it Portugal, Poland or Czechia, to crossing the ocean to Latin America. Can it be that Swedes, Dutch, Germans and Brits overdid it with their ‘progressive’ laissez-faire?
Or most importantly will the churches be full again in the Catholic world?
