"Perhaps if the Roman people had directed their energies more to the quiet and unassuming task of building the local communities where life and national character are created, and less to the spectacular enterprises which are life consuming, the final story of the Empire might have been different. Therefore, the Christian youth of today who would make a permanent contribution to American life is wise if he understands that the most constructive work which can be done is not to be found in those glamorous and spectacular enterprises associated with urban industry, military affairs, and the affairs of state, but rather in the quiet and more fundamental task of building the small Christian community."
Guy Franklin Hershberger, "War, Peace, and Nonresistance" (5th ed. 2009) p. 252.

What will the Russians do?
If atheism is real why don't women want to procreate with them? Even by their evolutionary standards they are failures.

You know it's coming, but some of you are doing nothing.
Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours—and the more “religious” (on those terms) the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here,
Your affectionate uncle,

"Subjection to the Roman Pontiff, as Vicar of Jesus Christ, not only in all that affects faith and morals, but also in that which affects civil society, is for Catholics a dogma like those of the Trinity and the Eucharist. And as this dogma is proposed to our belief by an absolute revealing principle, not liable to a human contingency, so the belief ought to be also absolute, invariable and one. Now to say that some believe in a greater, and others in a lesser supremacy in the Roman Pontiff, is absurd, just as it would be absurd to speak of greater or less affirmation of the dogma of the Trinity. Dogma is one like God; it is so rigorously concentrated in unity, that it allows no room for a diversity of opinions."
