At the top of a grassy hill in St. Louis, Missouri, a bronze apotheosis of the city’s patron sits erect on a giant steed, keeping watch over the city. Recently, this work of art, which has inspired St. Louisans for over a century, has come under scrutiny.
All over the world, beautiful, priceless monuments are now endangered by vandals who blindly follow the New World Order [1]. Almost any pretext will suffice to remove the figure of a person whose life did not conform to the chillingly bland mold of modern heroes. It comes as no surprise that Catholic saints have a high bounty on their heads. Catholics must vigilantly and zealously protect the statues, which honor not distant historical figures, but their own relatives in the Body of Christ. The bonds between the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant are stronger than blood. When the New World Order, in its brazen anti-Catholic bigotry, wields its club at the monuments of our predecessors in the Faith, it attacks our living relatives.
The statue of a Catholic saint does not impose religious beliefs on citizens any more than a statue that embodies so-called “modern values.” Modernism is itself a religion — and a rigid, hypocritical one at that. Its disciples preach tolerance but practice anti-Catholic bigotry. The differences between Catholic monuments and Modernist monuments are many, but even at first glance, one can easily see that the former are almost always magnificent and irreplaceable works of art, while the latter are, to put it mildly, a bit hard on the eyes.
