3- Part of the speech that I thought was worth transcribing. Haven't finished listening yet. May have more later.

"Interestingly this idea of the state as the alleviator of bad consequences has given rise to a new moral system that goes hand in hand with the secularization of society. It can be called a system of "macro morality" and in some ways it is an inversion of Christian morality. Christianity teaches a micro-morality. We transform the world by focusing on our own personal morality and transformation. The new secular religion teaches macro-morality. One's morality is not gauged by their private conduct but rather by their commitment to political causes and collective action to address various social problems. This system allows us not to worry so much about the strictures on our own private lives, because we can find salvation on the picket line. We can signal our own finely tuned sensibilities by participating in demonstrations on this cause or on that. Something happened recently that crystallized this difference between these competing moral systems. I was attending mass at at parish I did not usually attend in Washington DC and at the end of mass the chairman of the "social justice committee" got up to give his report to the parish, and he pointed to the growing homeless problem in DC And explained that more mobile soup kitchens were needed to feed them. This being a Catholic Church, I expected him to call for volunteers to go out and provide for this need as volunteers but instead he recounted all the visits that the committee members had made to the DC government to lobby for higher taxes and more spending to fund mobile soup kitchens."

"There is another phenomenon that is suppressing society's self correcting mechanism; it's making it harder for us to restore ourselves. In the past when societies were threatened by moral chaos the overall social costs of licentiousness and irresponsible personal conduct becomes so high that society ultimately recoils and reevaluates the path it is on, but today in the face of all the increasing pathologies, instead of addressing the underlying cause, we have cast the state as the alleviator of bad consequences. We call on the state to mitigate the social costs of personal misconduct and irresponsibility. The reaction to growing illegitimacy is not sexual responsibility but abortion. The reaction to drug addiction is safe injection sites. The solution to the breakdown of the family is for the state to set itself up as an ersatz husband for the single mother and an ersatz father for the children. The call comes for more social programs to deal with this wreckage and while we think we are solving problems, we are underwriting them.

We start with an untrammeled freedom, and we end up as dependents of a coercive state on whom we depend."

"This is not decay. This is organized destruction. Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication: popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and "traditional values."

These instruments are used not only to promote secular orthodoxy, but also to drown out and silence opposing voices and to attack viciously and hold up to ridicule any dissidents.
One of the ironies, as some have observed, is that the secular project has become, itself, a religion, pursued with religious fervor. It is taking on all the trappings of religion, including inquisitions and excommunication. Those who defy the creed risk a figurative burning at the stake. Social, educational, and professional ostracism and exclusion waged through lawsuits and savage social media campaigns.
The pervasiveness and the power of our high-tech popular culture fuels apostasy in other ways. It provides an unprecedented degree of distraction. Part of the human condition has been that there usually has been no way to avoid the big questions that stare us in the face. ... We now live in the age of distraction where we can envelop ourselves in a web of digital stimulation and universal connectivity, and we have almost limitless ways of indulging all of our physical appetites. "

I watched excerpts of this a week or so ago. I can't say I disagree with him entirely. In fact, I respect him more for saying what he did, particularly because I feel, at least in those areas I saw/heard, that he's right.

I listened to that a few weeks ago and have never heard a more comprehensive explanation and accurate rebuttal of what has happened to our society by a few seeking to make everyone else in their own image.

That right there, is why demonocracies are dangerous.

A deep dig into the Barr family . Very interesting
