Pope Benedict XVI has invited the Anglican clergy who forcefully disagree with the Anglican church’s position on homosexuality and women priests to come into the Roman Catholic fold. It is feared by some that if the disaffected Anglican priests accept the offer it will be the end of the Anglican church. But such an acceptance would not signal the end of the Anglican church, that end has been in evidence for years, as the empty pews throughout the British Anglican communion and the American Episcopalian communion attest. It is not the life or death of the Anglican church that is at stake, it is the entirety of Western Christianity that is in mortal danger, from the outside by the forces of militant Islam, and from the inside by the insidious forces of the secular religion of one-worldism and its father/birthmother socialism/communism. For many years American schoolchildren have been submerged in left-wing political correctness, told there is no such thing as right and wrong, and that western civilization is an unmitigated evil thrust upon the poor and oppressed peoples of the rest of the world. Couple this PC destruction from within by the Left and the challenge from without by radical Islam, and the West, and Christianity in all its many forms, is unlikely to survive unless united under the banner of Faith.
The lost are grace
The doors swing wide
The Pope’s embrace
Please come inside
The time has fled
The hour nigh
The darkened tread
Lend death a sigh
Unite we must
Or die alone
We place our trust
In God’s true throne
The cross of God
To show the way
The sacred sod
Of Western clay
Shall not be borne
By any foe
They shall not scorn
Our culture so
The Cruses live
They have not left
Their ghosts will give
Our arms the heft
To drive the foe
From battle field
To tell him No
We will not yield
To Muslim sword
Or PC scorn
To march us toward
The life unborn
We shall prevail
Through darkest days
Through deep travail
And fearsome ways
We shall not die
Our faith will live
If you and I
Our lives will give
