Are Christians Privileged or Persecuted?

by Ross Douthat, New York Times: How Western liberalism’s peculiar relationship to its Christian heritage leaves non-Western Christians exposed. The murderous radicals who set off bombs and killed hundreds on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka chose their targets with ideological purpose. Three Catholic churches were bombed, and with them three hotels catering to Western tourists, because often in the jihadist imagination Western Christianity and Western liberal individualism are the conjoined enemies...

Sri Lanka massacre coverage reveals Western leftists’ anti-Christian attitude

by Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSite: On Easter Sunday, Islamic suicide bombers detonated in three churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka, killing over 300 local Christians and Western tourists, maiming 500 more, and providing influential Westerners an opportunity to distance themselves from Christians.

A world at war against Christians

by Ann Farmer, The Conservative Woman: CHOOSING Easter Sunday for the deadly terror attacks on Sri Lankan churches and hotel restaurants (where Christians who had completed the Easter vigil were about to break their fast) makes it clear that the target was Christianity. In the Telegraph Tim Stanley writes of his distress at the persecution of fellow Christians, but even more at the lack of interest shown by the governing classes in our own nominally Christian country.  He concludes that ‘we’re...

Your guide through the media’s moral maze

by Will Jones, The Conservative Woman: THE media has a narrative, one it shares with much of our political class and cultural elite. We all know what it is.

What ties it all together is a post-Christian, secularist vision of the world centred on the individual and the self and the identities it creates for itself. Truth is relative to the individual and anyone who...

What can we say to people who think Christianity is against freedom?

by David Robertson, theweeflea: It’s a basic truth that our society is founded on Christianity and Christian principles. This includes the whole notion of freedom. If you are a regular watcher of news (or reader of this blog) you will note that in the name of freedom, our civic elites, are seeking to remove the foundation. If the root is removed what makes them think that the fruit will remain. In the name of freedom they are destroying freedom. Here is a two minute answer to the question –...

History Burning Before Our Eyes: The Tragedy of Notre Dame and the Soul of Modern France

by Albert Mohler: History burned before our eyes. One of the most important architectural achievements of western civilization endured catastrophic damage from a raging fire. The victim of this great tragedy was Notre Dame Cathedral—a nearly 900-year-old masterpiece in the center of the city of Paris. Notre Dame’s iconic image is more than a feat of architectural genius; the cathedral stood as an essential monolith of French identity, western civilization, and the central role of Christianity...
