Professor Williams continues, "What shocks an audience today will be acceptable tomorrow and thus the contemporary dramatist [or reality show producer, my note] is constantly impelled to seek further excesses to gratify a warped taste which he has himself implanted in the public mind....The whole modern cult of violence and animalism is in essence an admission of defeat. Since we cannot be men to any idealistic extent, let us lapse into barbaric animalism but, still clinging to vestiges of a past which we hate but cannot escape, let us clothe our defeat in high-sounding terms: 'alienation,' 'cult of unpleasure,' 'realism,' and similar jargon. Yet all this fashionable phraseology cannot conceal the fact that the Emperor has no clothes....The contemporary playwright or producer might well take as his motto, Apres moi, la secheresse (After me, the drought), and congratulate himself that he is writing before a morbid public appetite demands scenes of such repellent realism that actors and actresses will have to be killed on stage in order to satisfy it."
Welcome to the Theater of Lust, the Theater of Violence, the Theater of Antichrist. At the Grammys last week, we witnessed a celebration of post-Christian savage "entertainment" produced by those who have accepted and even embraced the spirit of Antichrist.
The program featured a scantily-clad "witch" surrounded by demons in one set and a "gay marriage" ceremony. The two acts were really consistent as the moral breakdown of America is coinciding with the homosexual juggernaut. As Father Vincent Miceli explains in his work The Antichrist, "Dr. Abram Kardiner, distinguished physician, psychoanalyst, and anthropologist, states that homosexuality reaches pestilential and plague proportions in morally rotting societies during the final stages of total collapse. The cult of softness is perhaps the most pronounced public phenomenon among nations today. It is certainly responsible for the rotting of the moral fibre of Western Civilization not only in sex but also, in the erosion of Christian truth, in education, in art and in letters, in the repudiation of personal responsibility and in the increasing tendency to side with the forces of crime against the forces of law and order." (The Antichrist, p. 237).
The Reign of Antichrist will witness a celebration of sin and
perversion the likes of which few can imagine. Pleasure is the new
principle par excellence. If pleasure can justify homosexual
behavior (and increasingly that is what our sin-sick society is saying),
then other deviant forms of sexual activity which are viewed as
pleasurable by some will also be logically justified. This will include
pedophilia, pederasty, ephebophilia, gerontophilia, necrophilia, sadism,
masochism and bestiality.
Father
Pascal Huchede writes, "...how shall he [Antichrist] deprive the world
of Christianity and have himself adored as God? Alas, it is only too
true that the minds and hearts of men are admirably disposed for
revolution and consequently ready to accept and bear the cruel yoke of
such a tyrant..." And then, after noting that men will abandon the
reasonable and supernatural religion of Jesus Christ to worship the
demon, Fr. Huchede adds, "What frightful immorality must follow in the train of this shameless prostitution of religion!
Never has the threefold concupiscence made greater ravage among
mankind. And this is the religion sought and hoped for as the cherished
boon of the aspirations of our modern free thinkers." (History of
Antichrist, pp. 13-14).
Where is the outrage? Just a few short years ago, priests and ministers across the country would have been speaking out against what has become a tidal wave of filth, immorality and the satanic.
