Catholics have no memory.
Fas is ab hoste Docere
The ancients said it is beneficial to be taught by his enemies. As stated in the Gospel [Luke. XVI, 8], children of this world are wiser in their mundanity as the son of light are not in the service of God: The enemies of the Church are often more lucid than Catholics on what constitutes the foundations of Christian society, and so they know where carry the iron to destroy Christianity and lose souls.
Since the Catholic Church is out of the catacombs, and it exercises a direct influence on company time to preach and establish the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, the struggle against the world the reign of truth and salvation took a far more insidious than before: Before attempting to destroy Catholicism in the blood of Christians, we seek to debase and distort it.
The archetype of this new breed of persecutors will forever Julian the Apostate. This prince was secretly apostatized age twenty years (351) and reveals his defection at the time of his accession to the imperial throne (December 361). Therefore, he practiced openly and daily rituals of paganism, until it succumbs to the Battle of Ctesiphon, 26 June 363. His reign lasts only so that about twenty months, but during that brief time, he began a fight against the Church no thank you and against Christian society.
This struggle, he leads in three stages - and that is why he is the model (if one may say) of the persecutors: the first freedom of religion (Edict Tolerance to rehabilitate the false gods and humiliate the Church), then the law school (to exclude from school imperial Christian teachers, and educate the people in a heathen murderer), and finally the open persecution.
Later in history, this pattern often repeated itself evil: why Satan - which, anyway, has no imagination - he change tactics, because it is effective. In our sad times, he just perfected his case by giving the first stage (at least) the process to hate the very people he wants to destroy.

Whenever the revolutionary state "grants" to exist in the Catholic institutions (which he claims to be master or not) is subject to the obligation to perform or to proclaim the religious freedom. And restoring the French monarchy, after a decade of revolutionary terror and bloody adventure Bonapartist.
When Napoleon's downfall is consumed, the senators draw on the night of 6 to 7 April 1814 a constitution, known as the "constitution of the annuity" for "on behalf of the French people" remind " freely to the throne of France, "the brother of the late king - which is not recognized and no title to reign, except that of being called by the sovereign nation. This constitution
Senate states in Article 22: "Freedom of religion and conscience is guaranteed. Ministers of religion are also treated and protected. " The text is brought to Pope Pius VII, who deplores and condemns in the Apostolic Letter Post diuturnas tam April 29, 1814.
Louis XVIII becomes aware of such conviction, that the Pope personally serve him. But, true heir to the Gallicanism it was much more preoccupied with his own power that the kingdom of Jesus Christ and his Church. Thus he rejects the constitution on behalf of Senate prerogative, but there June 4, 1814 granting the Charter, in Article 5, brave the papal condemnation: "Everyone professes his religion with equal freedom, and obtain for his worship the same protection. " That is why the Restoration restored nothing at all.

Thus even the French school law No. 59-1557 of 31 December 1959, called Debre law: it establishes contracts between private education (mostly Catholic Education) and State, and states in its first article:
"Following the principles defined in the Constitution, the state provides to children and adolescents in public schools according to their abilities in respect for all faiths.
"The State respects and proclaims the freedom of education and guarantee the exercise regularly open to private schools.
"It takes all necessary steps to ensure that pupils in public schools freedom of worship and religious instruction.
"In private institutions which have awarded a contract as provided below, education placed under the contract is subject to state control. The hotel, while retaining its own character, must give the instruction in the full respect of freedom of conscience. All children, without distinction of origin, political opinion or belief, have access. "
Alas, times have changed: the authority and leaves no longer condemns Catholics step into this trap where Catholic teaching loses, by greed, his soul and its raison d'etre.
course we can say in a sense that the gain is legitimate because it is only recovering what the state takes on families unjustly for the education of children who do not belong to him. But the secular state (that is to say anti-Christian) knows what he is asking such a return: he is already the master of education degree in monopoly, becomes even more by the Through programs, and by controlling wages and investment.

The enemies of the Church therefore know where to strike to dissolve slowly Christian society and erode the faith of Catholics without them not noticing too quickly. They know also that if they come to recognize a right to religious freedom that is the whole moral order which receives a mortal blow to the longer term, since being granted a right to have a bad object.
What a triumph for them that the proclamation of this pseudo-right to Vatican II. Thus, this council ever fatal implicitly teaches that human society, whose God is the author, is not entirely ordered to his glory to his reign, to eternal salvation souls.
This triumph, Fidel Castro expressed clearly when he received John Paul II to Havana, January 25, 1998:
"Your Holiness, we share your views on many important issues in today's world, and this is for us a source of great satisfaction. (...) We know the efforts of Your Holiness to preach and practice the feelings of respect that you feed to the believers of other religions large and influential that have spread across the world. " At
expression that triumph, the response of John Paul II as predictable as dismal :
"A State Modern can not make atheism or religion one of its political foundations. The state, far from any extremist fanaticism or secularism, should promote a social climate and appropriate legislation that allows every person and every religious confession to live their faith freely, to express in the areas of public life and count on sufficient resources and places to make the rich spiritual, moral and civil life of the country [Homily in Havana, January 25, 1998. DC 2177 1 March 1998, pages 230-231]. Who would not weep
seeing as the religion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, true God and true man, returned back to back with the false religions and atheism? There is nothing else than blasphemy and apostasy social. The Gospel of John Paul II is definitely not one in which Jesus Christ proclaimed "that is not with me is against me."
For a time, that Julian the Apostate who triumphs. How long, Lord?
