As It Is In Heaven: Part I, Christianization

About This Series

Starting this week, in this newsletter and in the weekly Crush Secularism Podcast (broadcast wherever you listen to podcasts), we’re launching into a new series: As It Is In Heaven. We will cover the history of religion in the West, starting with Christ and moving onward to present. The purpose of this series is very straightforward: If we’re going to bring the West back to Christ, we must study the men that brought Christ to the West.

As you’ll see over the next few weeks, we do not have our priorities straight. Personal evangelism and missionary work are the natural first step to making a nation Christian, but they are not enough to complete the work, and yet this is all we focus on. There is a reason for this, invented by our enemies, and we will discuss it all in great detail starting below.

The Christianization of the West

There was a time when I was considering becoming a Catholic, and the priest I was asking about Catholicism told me: “If Peter had never been imprisoned in Rome, we would probably be called the Antiochian Catholic Church.” He makes an interesting point. The Christianization of the West began almost immediately after the life of Christ, through His apostles. It would only be a few centuries before Rome would declare Christianity as the empire’s religion.

As you should know, Rome is the birth myth of the whole Western world. As such, Christianity spread from Rome to the Germanic peoples, the Scandinavians, the Russians, and the Anglos. We will talk more about their stories tomorrow on the podcast, live on X @ 10 PM Central, broadcast everywhere podcasts are hosted by Friday morning.
