We can most fruitfully consider them by thinking first about the Blessed Virgin, Jesus\\u2019 mother. And then about our own mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives. Consider their courage, self-sacrifice, wisdom and compassion \\u2026 the crosses they bear and blessings they bring.\\nBut I know Satan\\u2019s masterpiece. That is, the thing he made to ape, attack, and pervert God\\u2019s Creation, which he hates. As an arrogant, lofty spirit, he loathes our\\xa0bodies. As a sexless, loveless rationalist, he\\u2019s revolted by\\xa0reproduction. As a metaphysical terrorist, he\\u2019s addicted to\\xa0rebellion. So the Enemy who strives to destroy us (as proxies for a God he cannot harm) fixes his steely gaze on our soft and vulnerable parts \\u2014 our hearts and loins and wombs.\\nTo Make Us Little Satans\\nI mostly don\\u2019t mean that the Enemy tempts us to sins of the flesh. That\\u2019s true, and it\\u2019s quite serious. But as C.S. Lewis observed in\\xa0The Screwtape Letters,\\xa0the Accuser isn\\u2019t satisfied just trying to damn people by luring them to have sex too soon or too randomly. That\\u2019s rookie stuff for him, too easily repented. No, the goal instead is to comprehensively pervert, twist, and turn against God Himself the very structure of His creation. To turn us not just into disobedient children, but little demons ourselves \\u2014 consumed as Satan is with loathing, revulsion and rebellion aimed at God\\u2019s exquisite handiwork.\\xa0\\xa0\\nWe see a strong streak of that in the works of the\\xa0Marquis de Sade, the\\xa0first pro-choice philosopher\\xa0in history, and the father of the\\xa0Sexual Revolution. His arguments were picked up by Jean-Paul Sartre and\\xa0Simone de Beauvoir, mainstreamed into Second Wave feminism, and repeated cluelessly by the likes of\\xa0Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\\nDe Sade didn\\u2019t favor mere sexual indulgence, but aggressive, violent perversion indulged in complete with blasphemy, incest, kidnapping, torture, and murder. It isn\\u2019t straightforward Lust that drives a man to imagine priests defiling the Eucharist in the course of raping nuns. That takes a spirit not of this earth, which hates the place and everyone in it. Sade was not insane. He was possessed.\\nAfter he died in squalid obscurity, the spirit in him moved on. It made sure that Sade\\u2019s tedious, sickening works began to fascinate intellectuals, who quoted it and reprinted it, making it somehow respectable. (Why were two high-budget Hollywood movies made lionizing this aristocrat who tortured impoverished prostitutes?) That spirit planted the seeds in subsequent centuries for the worldview we now see in bloom, its flowers of evil bobbing outside our classrooms and our libraries.\\nBad Parents, Bring Us Your Kids to Groom!\\nWe saw it outside what used to be my favorite late night spot in Dallas, Buzzbrews Restaurant in Lakewood, some months ago. Under new ownership, the place started hosting \\u201call ages\\u201d drag queen brunches. That means, in plain English: \\u201cBad parents, come bring your kids to be groomed by men dressed as strippers and prostitutes!\\u201d Such fun for all. When Christians announced a plan to pray and sing outside, the organizers of the drag event invited \\u2026 Antifa, to show up\\xa0in masks wielding AR-15s, to terrorize the Christians. The message was clear.\\nThese activists hate us because they\\xa0hate Creation and God, whom they hate because they\\u2019re pos"
