1. THE REVOLUTION DENIES SIN AND THE REDEMPTION
As we
have seen, the Revolution is a fruit of sin. However, if it were to acknowledge
this, it would unmask itself and turn against its own cause.
This
explains why the Revolution tends not only to keep silent about its sinful root
but also to deny the very notion of sin. Its radical denial applies to Original
and actual sin and is effected mainly by:
· Philosophical or
juridical systems that deny the validity and existence of Moral Law or
give this law the vain and ridiculous foundations of secularism.
· The thousand
processes of propaganda that create in the multitudes a state of soul that
ignores morality without directly denying its existence. All the
veneration owed to virtue is paid to idols such as gold, work, efficiency,
success, security, health, physical beauty, muscular strength, and sensory
delight.
The
Revolution is destroying the very notion of sin, the very distinction between
good and evil, in contemporary man. And, ipso facto, it is denying the
Redemption by Our Lord Jesus Christ, for, if sin does not exist, the Redemption
becomes incomprehensible and loses any logical
relation with history and life.
