What Pope Benedict Calls the “Dictatorship of Relativism”… September 28, 2011

is a civilization-wide effort in the West to get rid of the Big Laws (summed up in the Ten Commandments). It is a bipartisan effort that reaches across the aisle and makes friends of Herodians and Pharisees, Pilate and Herod Antipas, Hitler and Stalin, Obama and Cheney, post-Christian Britain and Eurabian Europe and other unlikely partners in a sort of Satanic Ecumenism.

The hope of such efforts, here in the post-Christian West is “freedom”. The practical result is sketch by the Prophet Chesterton: When you get rid of the Big Laws, you don’t get freedom. You don’t even get anarchy. You get the small laws.

Exhibit A.

Our government is now in the business of enforcing foreign laws that even the foreigners don’t care about. Nothing is too small to escape Caesar’s all-controlling hubris. When there’s no God to entrust the world to, our rulers have to do everything, because the unenlightened cannot be trusted.
