Xianity is incompatible with Civilization. Christian values contradict European/Roman/Hellenic virtues, and Europe only remained civilized by over-ruling and ignoring Abrahamic doctrine when there was a rational conflict between these two worldviews.
>the pope asked that God "open borders, break down walls [and] dispel hatred"
>“There is no room for prejudice, for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbours, for the exclusionary mindset that, unfortunately, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms,” he said.
>“People must move “beyond our fear of those who are different,” he said, saying the Holy Spirit “breaks down barriers and tears down the walls of indifference and hatred”.
A Roman would say:
>Kill barbarians. Behead barbarians. Roundhouse kick a barbarian into the Roman cement. Slam dunk a barbarian baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy jews.
