Those who say that there is no need to deal with progressive influencers are absolutely right, because by constantly mentioning them, we only increase their citation index. We advertise them as such. Sometimes, however, there is simply nothing to do: such delusions are sent into the virtual space, onto the devices of innocent God-seekers with sparkling eyes, that silent observation can be considered a guilty inaction.

The Catholic religious teacher and theologian writes the following right in the middle of Advent: "I think they (the churches, led by the Catholic) are afraid that if I shout so loudly, many people will wake up from hypnosis . However, their interest is much more that the believers sleep, and even deeply. Don't open their minds and don't dare to think or feel! Especially not freely!”

It starts there, that anyone who has ever read the third chapter of the book of Genesis tends to distrust when someone tells them: "against the commandments of your rotten church, feel free to taste what I preach, then your eyes will be opened and your consciousness will be opened."

It is not necessarily worth losing the entire Garden of Eden for a single piece of fruit.

But let's not have prejudices, let's look at the statement itself. It can be a brilliant trick if the church wants to keep us in a deep sleep by constantly announcing in all churches for the third week this year: "Wake up, man, from your deep sleep." He whispers in our ears with the words of the prophets, lest we hear him; he tries to put us to sleep by calling us to morning mass; he wants to prevent us from thinking and seeing clearly by offering the option of silent, individual worship of the sacraments (and thereby withdrawing from the noise and influence of the world) every week - it would be an original strategy, that's for sure.

When the alarm goes off at 5:39 a.m. on a foggy, blustery Monday morning in December, most devout Catholics have only one wish: to turn over and sleep on. This instinctive desire is also discovered by the constant pounding in the ear:

"Let it go, you don't have to go to the gym every day! You're overtiring yourself! There is an epidemic! The road is slippery! You break yourself, then they can take care of you! You'll go tomorrow! You deserve a day off! You're worth it!"

Well, when, in this situation, the believer wakes up from his Catholic sleep and consciously declares that "This is for you, Satan!" and jumps out of bed to stumble in the dark to the absolutely not obligatory morning mass, to listen to the word of God, and to pray for others - then with you can practice those skills in a small and non-stakes way, with the help of which you will then be able to confidently, firmly and freely say no to suspicious seduction and stun, even in more serious situations. While his self-confidence is also growing, he believes (humility here or there) that there is some superman-feeling in the fact that at 5:40 a.m., when the world is still sleeping around him, on an empty stomach, he can record a decisive victory over the regressive and destructive forces. It is not very reasonable, then, that the church would put modern people to sleep and enslave them with such rituals (fasts, etc.).

If the fear is that churchgoers are not fully aware that the church is full of sinful people, then you can rest easy: we know.

If only because we ourselves are guilty, unfortunately. However, we also know that the Savior sent his disciples on their way with the following: "He who listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me." And this seems to justify the church-going, church-loyal "fundamentalist" - and not so much the one who, being a theologian, classifies the church and thus all its priests as en bloc oppressors. It works against the fact that his Facebook fans, who are not yet in the faith, will ever set foot in the church and possibly become members of a sustaining, offline church community.

And if the problem were that a whole line of believers is trying to adapt their lives to the teachings of the church, instead of trying to fit the church's two-thousand-year-old teachings into their own little lives and ideas, then we also don't need to be afraid, thank you: no matter how incredible it seems, a person can be directly and freely obedient.

A truly "open-minded", thinking intellectual can easily see: Mary of Nazareth did not snap to "get out of my womb", because she was hypnotized and oppressed by Marcona religious communities, but because she believed and was willing to serve.

Thanks to this rock-hard obedience, reliance and self-denial, a few billion of us will be able to stand at the manger of the sweet little Jesus this year. Progressives, it's never too late to realize this!
