Christianophobia Part 6 THE CORRUPTION OF THE WORLD Masonic sect, was published by Cré Mr. De Jaeghere continues: "The teaching of contempt has its corollary. It is the corruption of morals. Indeed, it is not enough to marginalize Catholicism and defame the Church; society must also be corrupted so that the requirements of Christianity appear as a scandal to it and fill it with horror. This operation, devised and defined over a century ago in documents of the Haute Ventetineau-Joly upon the request of Pius IX: "'It is resolved in our councils that we do not want any more Christians; let us not make martyrs, but let us popularize vice among the masses. Let them breathe it in through the five senses, let them drink it in, let them be saturated with it. (...) In order to destroy Catholicism, we must begin by destroying women. (...) But since we cannot destroy women, let us corrupt them along with the Church.'   "It must be admitted that this program has been largely implemented in our country and in Western societies since the sixties." Trivialization of Immorality In his book, Démocratie française (French Democracy), published in 1976, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing also observes the fulfillment of this plan --- and rejoices over it. He writes: "Even in the early fifties, France offered the image of a society that was both progressive and traditional. Within twenty years a veritable hurricane descended upon this tranquil world. A revolution mightier than all the political revolutions has been consummated in the very heart of French society, reaching into every structure: family; school, university, Church and morals. The outcome of this evolution is, above all, a great leap forward. At no other moment, except perhaps in the early years of the French Revolution, has such a considerable distance been covered so rapidly." "This hurricane, this revolution as far-reaching as the French Revolution, is the revolution of morals that has resulted from I the trivialization of immorality, its promotion and its institutionalization," writes Michel De Jaeghere.   "Licentiousness is not a product of our times. Our era did not invent eroticism, adultery or child abuse. What seems new is that today, the borderline between what is moral and what is immoral tends to disappear, or at any rate it is not situated in the position of traditional morality.   "The trivialization of immorality manifests itself by the fact that in films, for example, the limit between what is pornographic and what is not is blurred in a kind of haze ... Barring rare exceptions, there are no more films that do not include a bedroom scene. This has become almost unthinkable! Even a nice little story like The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain had to include an abundance of bedroom scenes. In a moral film like Members of the Choir there are unsavory allusions capable of offending the young children who are lining up to see these shows. "Television is on the same wavelength. Televised series and sitcoms present sexual vagrancy as a natural adolescent activity, and adultery, divorce and abortion as inevitable stages in life. Loft Story and the reality shows it has spawned televise persons of both sexes who have been selected and paid to sleep together in a closed environment in which they are continually filmed. The viewer tunes in on them with the hope of viewing their frolics live on their television screens. Until now, such practices were restricted to specialty establishments, to Pigalle, and not so long ago it was called prostitution. Now it is a family show that you can watch in the comfort of your own living room. "Some will say that no one is obliged to go to the movies or watch television. But consider peer pressure, which turns any youngster who has not seen Members of the Choir, Amélie Poulain or any episode of Loft Story into a social misfit. At any rate, no one can escape the spectacle flaunted in the streets of our big cities ever since the liberalization of billboard displays." (The author mentions billboards that would still have caused a stir in the eighties, but that no one even notices today, because the streets are so heavily infested with pornographic advertisements.)
