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.
