This morning as I was listening to the daily Mass on EWTN, Fr. Mitch brought up a point of how nationalization can be destructive. He drew lines from the French Revolution to the Boxer Rebellion, to Soviet influence, and clearly presented how a rise in secular nationalism leads to the destruction of the faithful.
Its also worth saying, that as we the people being to believe that our rights come from the state, we forget that they truly come from God.
God alone grants rights to mankind. It is merely the state's responsibility to ensure that the rights given by God are not infringed upon. Our founding fathers understood this well. However in our modern times, secularization is forcing our people to believe that rights come from the state. This too I feel may lead to our own destruction unless their is a reversal of course, or reconversion of our nation.
