The Catholic Church and the Cultural Revolution
by E. Michael Jones
Tells the story of the culture wars between the Catholic Church and the Enlightenment over the last sixty years. The battle in America was fought in three areas: schools and education; obscenity; and the family and sexuality. The book examines: the significance of the law and the courts; the impact of the Second Vatican Council; the main sources of the attempted subversion of the Church; the battles the Church fought with the media; the existence of a fifth column within the Church; the new Americanism that attempts to reconcile the Church and modernity by seeing America as an ideal state; and finally, "Where now in the Church?"
Jones refers to (((Yuri Slezkine's))) triumphalist book, published in 2004, and notes:
>Modernity may have seemed American when the Council was convened, but it was predominantly (at least in its 20th century phase) Jewish, as Yuri Slezkine demonstrates in his book The Jewish Century (2004). Ultimately, the two alternatives became a false dichotomy as Jews, with the passing of the WASP ruling class, took over American cultural life.
>By the mid-’70s the takeover was complete. “The Modern Age is the Jewish Age,” according to Slezkine, “and the twentieth century, in particular, is the Jewish Century.” Modernity, according to Slezkine, “is about … dismantling social estates for the benefit of individuals, nuclear families and book-reading tribes (nations).” Modernity “is about everyone becoming Jewish.” During this era, “Churches became more like synagogues.”
