   Mix Christianity and politics and all you get is politics.

   The Church is under severe attack from both within and without but, as Dr Peter Kwasniewski points out – that’s the secret of persecution: it makes the Church stronger

   An argument also made by Rodney Stark, well supported by evidence, in his superb book The Triumph of Christianity. Soldiers are needed but Christ has made his promise.

   Steyn is correct.

   The Beast had the element of surprise last year and initially the great majority were worried about this virus so the restrictions didn’t seem unreasonable to most including Church people who are conditioned to be caring and doing the right thing.

   But as Steyn says this automatically relegated Government regard of the church to be on-par with entertainment facility and below the bottle shops for example. We are too nice for our own good. No institution is more essential than the church.
