"It is very discouraging to see Dreher having to go to such lengths to purposefully misrepresent the Hungarian Prime Minister’s words in order to appease the Marxist Left, as this seriously hurts his credentials as an expert on Central European politics."

"A worldview shapes how we act in the world—not only as individuals, but as societies. If you don’t maintain a Christian worldview, you will be destroyed."

"One implication of the denial of God’s transcendence is the loss of objective truth and meaning. Without the transcendence of God then there is no point of reference by which we can have meaningful meaning or can approach defining the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Unless we have a God that is outside of us who by that outsided-ness becomes the transcendent point of reference then we are blind people stumbling around in the pitch dark seeking to see."

- Pactum Institute research fellow, Rev Bret McAtee

"The Darwinist view that man is an evolutionary product of nature also has decisive socialist political implications, since man as a product of his environment is of course also seen as a product of his political environment, as opposed to the Christian view where the political life logically flows out of the cultural mandate of Genesis 1:28." - Dr Adi Schlebusch

"Abolishing property taxes and expanding private property is, in my view, the key to not only economic, but political liberty for clans and nations. Right-wing libertarians such as Hans-Hermann Hoppe has rightly noted:

'[When] all land is privately owned, including all streets, rivers, airports, harbors etc … there exists no such thing as freedom of immigration ...'"

"In any public setting, the very presence of drag queens is an utter abomination, but specifically indoctrinating children with this filth is nothing short of utterly satanic."

"Christ is teaching that whoever puts away their spouse so as to free themselves up to get with another is committing adultery through seemingly legal channels, and whoever marries a spouse put away for this purpose is therefore complicit in adultery. This is because such remarriages, in making remediation and reconciliation impossible, infringe upon the first marriage."
- Dr Adi Schlebusch

"[A]ll of history is characterized by a covenantal dichotomy between faith and unbelief, in which the former represents that which is godly, good, and true, and the latter that which is evil and false. All of history, politics, and society is the battleground between faith and unbelief - a battle in which the Christian is called to engage with a confidence in the inevitability of Christ's victory over the seed of the serpent."
- Dr Adi Schlebusch (annotation 93, page 128).

"Obadiah, against the order of the king and queen, hid the prophets of God and fed them (I Kings 18:4). Elijah, who at the time had no official position of civil authority, consequently commanded that the godless official representatives of the king be killed (I Kings 18:19, 40). Not only that, Elijah even went as far as to institute the true religion as national religion of Israel against the orders of the government (I Kings 18:37-39; 19:1-2)."

"The Cowboy State remains one of the most viable places in the world to start rebuilding the New Christendom because of its Christian, rural and homogeneous population, and now even more so in light of its growing isolation from globalist centres of power. The Wyomingite nation desperately needs to capitalize on Cheney’s defeat by focusing their energies on building healthy local socio-political institutions and structures which can help ensure a greater autonomy for the state and the communities which constitute it.

And a first step towards building those institutions and structures is strengthening the necessary social cohesion by celebrating Cheney’s defeat with neighbors, friends and family."

"The Pactum Institute strongly condemns this humanist perspective as at odds with Christian orthodoxy and as a view which inevitably leads to the divination of the state."

In his latest scholarly paper, dr Adi Schlebusch challenges "outdated and oversimplistic narratives of secularity based upon a false dichotomy of the religious as theistic and the secular as anti-theistic" by pointing out that "in the establishment of the public policy, there is always a normative framework at work which functionally operates in the same way with regard to its epistemic sanction, regardless of the worldview or moral standard which underpins it." He also notes that "the legal ratification of religious liberty does not in itself preclude the public establishment and government enforcement of that which, if not in theory, then at least in practice amounts to religious norms as legal framework for the public domain."

Dr Schlebusch concludes that "even modern liberal democratic states have enshrined values which functionally amount to established religious presuppositions which shape their public life, and in that sense, are essentially theocratic in nature."
