Vox Popoli: The light shines in the darkness - Notre Dame Cathedral is an apt metaphor for the current state of the West.


From tiny acorns, mighty oaks that grow;
The woodsman cuts and the cooper shapes,
Those magic barrels which will hold
The nectar of the gods and angels.

And those charred and wooden hulls,
Contain for a time, a time and a half, or
As the Master Distiller decides in His good time -
When the drink is ready for prime time! – Crush Limbraw



This picture from inside the ruins of Notre Dame Cathedral is an apt metaphor for the current state of the West. Postchristian modernism, Churchianity, and "Judeo-Christianity" has burned down our structures, our organizations, our countries, and even our families. But the faith remains, and from that seed more mighty oaks will grow.
