I have no doubt his teachings have led to all the revolutions of this century, and will lead to the final attack of atheism on the church.
Nor was his hatred confined to Catholicity only.
Christians of every denomination were marked out for destruction by him, and our separated Christian brethren, who feel glad at seeing his followers triumph over the church, might well ponder on these words of his Christians, he says, of every form of patriotism.
Profession are beings exceedingly injurious, fanatics, thieves, dupes, impostors, who lie together with their gospels, enemies of the human race.
And of the system itself, he writes, The Christian religion is evidently false, and the Christian religion is a sect which every good man ought to hold in horror.
It cannot be approved of even by those to whom it gives power and honor.
In fact, since his day it has been a cardinal point of policy with his followers to take advantage of the unfortunate differences between the various sects of Christians in the world and the church in order to ruin both, for the destruction of every form of Christianity, as well as Catholicity, was the aim of Voltaire, and remains as certainly the aim of his disciples.
They place, of course, the Church and the Vicar of Christ in the first line of attack, well knowing that if the great Catholic unity could be destroyed, the work of eradicating every kind of separated Christianity would be easy.
In dealing, therefore, with such a foe as modern atheism so powerfully organized as we shall see it to be, Protestants as well as Catholics should guard against its wiles and deceits.
They should, at least, regarding questions such as the religious education of
education of rising generations, the attempted secularization of the Sabbath and state established Christian institutions, and the recognition of religion by the state, all of which the atheism of the world now attempts to destroy, present an unbroken front of determined union.
Nothing less certainly can save even the Protestantism, the national Christian character of Great Britain and her colonies from impending ruin.
Although Voltaire was confirmed and malignant a hater of Christ and Christianity as ever lived, still he showed from time to time that his own professed principles of infidelity were never really believed in by himself.
In health and strength he cried out his blasphemous crush the wretched
But when the moment came for his soul to appear before the judgment seat of the wretch, his faith was shown, and his vaunted courage failed him.
The miscreant always acted against his better knowledge.
His life gives us many examples of this fact.
I will relate one for you.
When he broke a blood vessel on one occasion, he begged his assistance to hurry for the priest.
He confessed, signed with his hand a profession of faith, asked pardon of God and the church for his offences, and ordered that his retraction should be printed in the public newspapers, but, recovering, he commenced his war upon God anew, and died refusing all spiritual aid, and crying out in the fury of despair and agony, I am abandoned by God and man.
