It seems he is introducing a historical narrative of cultural decay and proposing a theory that Satan is behind it. This isn't exactly controversial. I can't imagine any non-atheists having any objections to that.<br /><br />He goes further by claiming that because the USA is such an important target, and because most people here are protestant, it was the protestant churches that were attacked more so than the catholic church. Whether he also believes that the catholic church is not in shambles, or whether he believes it is in shambles in countries with more catholic influence (I'm sure Satan isn't restricted only to the US) isn't clear, but is hardly important.<br /><br />I hope this explained things.<br /><br />Personally, I'd like to hear more details of specifically, in what ways, he believes these churches to be in shambles. Also, I'd like to hear his response to the specific ways that the catholic culture has contributed to the loss of liberty and prosperity in the US. I can think of a few.daniel noehttp://theunderstandingproject.comnoreply@blogger.com
