Mr
Bryan Fischer and others are rightly upset over what is going on in Texas with
James Younger. What they do not seem to
realize is that the religious and political ideologies they espouse, those that
underlie Americanism, are at the heart of this controversy. Mr Fischer ends a recent column with these
words:
. . . [God] designed marriage with the husband
and father as its head, the ultimate decision-maker, after much discussion and
prayer with his wife, when tough choices have to be made.
This isn’t
complicated. According to God himself, James is a boy, and his father gets to
decide. Our family law used to embody these truths and it needs to again.
What
he says is true: God has instituted the
family and made the father its head. But
the main tenets of Protestantism and Americanism strike at the authority of the
father. Those two have destroyed the
authority of the fathers in the Church, the bishops and priests, and the father
of the big family (i.e., the ethnos or country), the king. Like fathers of the little family, bishops,
priests, and kings are also ordained by God to rule in their particular spheres. Thus, by denying the God-ordained authority
of the latter, they have laid the groundwork for denying it to little-family
fathers as well.
The
health of all of these is interconnected.
Since their origin and authority all flow from the same source, from
God, to strike at one is to strike at all of them (and to dishonor God Who
ordained them). If all kings, bishops,
and priests are tyrants, then all fathers are as well. What is happening to James Younger is truly horrible,
but in the post-colonial [u]nited States, such events are inevitable if the
ideology of Americanism is allowed to work itself out to its logical conclusions.
