I think I am missing something<\/b>
\nI am unfamiliar with Pat Buchanan’s politics, but I know he is Catholic. I heard him speak a few times, and I thought he made some sense. My personal favourite Catholic presidential hopeful was Alan Keyes, however.
\nThe other day I got the Roman Catholic Books<\/i> catalog<\/a> in the mail. I usually enjoy flipping through it. I stopped short at an advertisement for Pat Buchanan’s book Death of the West<\/i><\/a>. I have not read the book, so I am not offering a critique. The ad did scare me a bit. Am I overreacting, or missing something?<\/p>\n

\nCollapsing birth rates and native populations… out-of-control immigration<\/b>… a process of “de-Christianization”
\nWith electrifying prose and massive documentation, Buchanan reveals:
\n* How collapsing birth rates in Western nations, coupled with skyrocketing birth rates among Muslims, Asians and other Third World peoples will soon cause cataclysmic shifts in world power
\n* How uncontrolled immigration is changing the composition of the U.S. and European nations in ways that threaten their survival<\/b>
\n* How our cultural institutions have been deliberately and systematically undermining the foundation beliefs and traditions of American and Western civilization for years
\n* Why aging populations will force developed nations to choose between mass immigration and mass euthanasia
\n* Why the Christian majority in America was routed — with help from its own clergy
\n* Why young women are not having children in America and Europe
\n* Empty churches, full mosques: the long-term implications for the post-Christian West
\n * Why immigrants from Mexico will never assimilate<\/b>
\n* Why the GOP may be history by 2010
\n* Six terrible consequences of the overthrow of the moral order
\n* Five ways you can enlist now in the battle to preserve Christian America
\n* The single most important cause for 21st-century conservatives
\n* The “absolute correlation” between religious faith and large families — and between loss of faith and population decline
\n* Empty doomsaying? “The Death of the West is not a prediction of what is going to happen,” Buchanan clarifies, “it is a depiction of what is happening now. First World Nations are dying. They face a mortal crisis, not because of something happening in the Third World, but because of what is not happening at home and in the homes of the First World.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emphasis added.Now, I understand how there are problems that are the decline of Christianity, such as birth control, but what’s this whole native populations deal? Isn’t Christianity for all? I am lost here, or am I being overly liberal\/sensitive. I personally think that the decline of Christianity has more to do with bad formation then immigrants, but that is just my opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
