—“When the Church needed to be enlightened and pull Europe together after the fall of the Roman Empire it did the opposite and was obscurantist, belligerent and divisive. When in the modern times it needed to be a guardian of tradition and a shepherd of our culture it became a guardian of sexual abuse and a spineless sheep led by the culture imposed by once despised outsiders. Burn Galileo and then open the city gates to barbarian hordes. Church in a nutshell.”—Andrey Sokoloff
