There is a battle going on right now and it has been going on since the fall of Adam.

There is a battle going on right now and it has been going on since the fall of Adam.

The battle going on now is between the retention of Catholic morals, tradition, and authority on the one side, and the active effort to destroy them on the other. 

The battle  is between the Church and the anti-Church  the Church of God and anti-God the Church of Christ and anti-Christ.

Being Atheist, it is characteristic of the advancing wave that repudiates the human reason..

The great Modern Attack is indifferent to self-contradiction. It merely affirms. It advances like an animal, counting on strength alone.

The Modern Attack in its main character, materialist and atheist and being atheist it is necessarily indifferent to truth. For God is Truth.

Therefore with the advance of this new and terrible enemy against the Faith and the civilization which the Faith produces, there is coming not only a contempt for beauty but a hatred of it; and immediately upon the heels of this there appears a contempt and hatred for virtue.

The less vicious converts of the enemy, talk vaguely of "a readjustment, a new world, a new order; but they do not begin telling us, as in common reason they should, upon, what principles this new order is to be raised.

They do not define the end they have in view.

This Modern Attack professes to be directed towards a certain good, to wit, the abolition of poverty.

But it does not tell you why this should be good; it does not admit that its scheme is also to destroy other things which are also by the common consent of mankind good; the family, property (which is the guarantee of individual freedom and individual dignity) humor, mercy, and every form of what we consider right living.

Well, give it what name you like, call it as I do here, "The Modern Attack" or as I think men will soon have to call it "Anti-Christ".
