In many ways, demoralization is the greatest enemy to the spiritual life. It is a great threat to the survival of a nation and of the Church Militant. It is one of the devil's greatest weapons against us: to depress us so that we lose all hope and give up. This is also a strategy of leftist marxist revolutionaries. They know that the first stage in collapsing a free society is to demoralize. People ashamed of their own culture won’t defend it when it is attacked. Many Americans—particularly younger ones—have been conditioned to believe that one belief system is as good as any another. The only exception to this rule is the Christian (Western) tradition which is falsely presented as the source of all evil. Catholics suffer even more demoralization as ecclesial authorities enact novel 'covid' rubcris and severe restrictions. In a time like this, we must turn to Our Lady for hope. In fact, we do well to recall her very first appearance (~40 AD). She was not yet assumed, so the angels transported her to Spain where she inspired great hope in St. James the Greater, who had grown demoralized with the apparent lack of success in his apostolic labor. Our Lady of the Pillar, pray for us!
