The Age Of Treason

 
1. Pope Pius IX and Cardinal Newman
     consider liberalism,
     whether it be
     religious, philosophical, or economic,
     the greatest error of the nineteenth century.

2. Modern liberalism
     is the logical sequence
     of the so-called age of Enlightenment-
     the age of Voltaire, Rousseau, Thomas Paine-
     sometimes called the Age of Reason
     in opposition to the Age of Faith.

3. By sponsoring nationalism and capitalism
     modern liberals
     have given up the search for truth
     and have become paid propagandists.

4. Modern liberals have ceased to appeal to reason,
     and have chosen to appeal to prejudice.

5. So the Age of Reason
     has become the age of Treason,
     as Julien Benda points out
     in his book entitled:
     "The treason of the Intellectuals".
