By now I'll assume the French riots were not fueled by radical rightwing Nazi sympathizing Trump supporters. Because most media outlets, while covering them and mentioning them, haven't made them a 24/7 front page storm of endless hysteria.
But as I watch, one thing I've noticed. Among everyone - the press, Catholics, conservatives, liberals (who have mentioned them at all), or anyone - not a single person has pointed out that the riots almost immediately followed on the footsteps of Pope Leo's visit to France.
I wonder why. Maybe it's just me and it doesn't mean a thing. Cosmic coincidence. But as a fan of history I notice that few things happen in history just out of cosmic coincidence. I know there was much talk during Pope Leo's visit of the massive crowds and upswing in people entering the Church, and a turn around in general Christian church attendance after eons of decline.
Of course for all I know, those people are the ones rioting. But I don't think so. Again, I looked and haven't found anyone who has talked about the riots drawing that line. Am I nutty? Or is it possible that that the two are connected in some way?
I had a similar thought actually. Sometimes a great backlash comes after an obvious good. The evil one has gained so much ground and more than a foothold in the "Eldest Daughter of the Church" that it makes sense he's going to remind people who is still in charge there.
ReplyDeleteBy now almost anyone with eyes and ears should see that the Left seeks the destruction of the West. And anyone in the world who seeks the same thing is the Left's ally. The upswing in Christian conversions, especially among young people, while no doubt driven by many reasons, and to be alarming for those who see the West on a suicide spiral. Not that Christianity and the West are the same, but they are connected. And from what i can tell, while most are not some MAGA converts, most aren't radical leftists either. So after Pope Leo's huge reception in a country that has been boasting of Christianity's death, it had to be a splash of cold water in the face. So now we have this. Reminding us that it's the destruction of France and all of the West that is the goal.
