It's growing there. And educating and feeding many people. As someone once said: Dying, and behold we live. It’s certainly not dying in India. It’s growing there.

The re-birth of paganism in the XXI century is probably a remarkable turn in history. Again the church is beleaguered and persecuted, albeit in more subtle way in the west. The secular governments of today find their philosophy and their spirit not in Christianity but in a neo-pagan religion. They call it “secularism” but it is not, the old Marxist atheistic-materialism has been replaced by a neo-pagan “New Age” cult. This religion adores in the altars of female deities or “Mother Goddess” under the guise of feminism. It sacrifices children before the altar of Baal under the guise of “Freedom of Choice”. It worships Eros, Venus and old Astarte under the name of “sexual revolution” and finally it worships man above any other god. But in the end it is the same god they worship, Belial, the adversary of old, the serpent of Revelation, Satan. Today churches in the west are closing, de-Christianization has left Europe as post-Christian society and these forces are winning in North America and Latin America. Yet, the victory of the Lord of Life is assured, He will come again in glory to judge the living and the death and His kingdom will have no end. One day the antichrist, the leader of this culture of death we live in today, will surely fall wounded from his black horse and say “you win Galilean”. Today new Julians have risen.
