Michael Matt discusses the reasons why many American Catholics no longer understand their Faith. Many heroic Catholics in France gave their lives to defend the Church and its cause during the Revolution. Today, Mr. Michael Matt argues, this spirit of openness to martyrdom is missing. This is due to a large degree to the fact that American Catholics no longer understand their Faith. What they defend and are willing to die for is the kind of religion acceptable to the Freemasons of the 18th Century whose errors their French co-religionists so bravely fought.
