>>12952508Second: is Christianity the only possible source of virtue for Europeans?
Was it for Greeks? Was it for Romans? Was it for National Socialists in 1930s?

> It condemned "pantheistic confusion", "neopaganism", "the so-called myth of race and blood", and the idolizing of the State. It contained a vigorous defense of the Old Testament with the belief that it prepares the way for the New.[5] The encyclical states that race is a fundamental value of the human community, which is necessary and honorable but condemns the exaltation of race, or the people, or the state, above their standard value to an idolatrous level.[6] The encyclical declares "that man as a person possesses rights he holds from God, and which any collectivity must protect against denial, suppression or neglect."Third Reich was pagan, through and through. Deal with it.
It was pagan, yet it was highly virtuous.
So is Christianity really the only possible source of virtue for Europeans? I think the answer is obvious by now.
Also returning to the previous issue - is returning to Christianity possible? No, it isn't. Not on a wide scale at least. Once people saw the myriad of religions in the global village that current World is, there is no coming back to one's own religion with an unwavering faith and certainty that it's the only true and right one.
