“We need Christ—the _real_ Christ. A Christ born of empty speculation or created
to squeeze into the philosopher’s pattern simply won’t do. A recycled Christ, a 
Christ of compromise, can redeem no one. A Christ watered down, stripped of power,
debased of glory, reduced to a symbol, or made impotent by scholarly surgery is 
not Christ but Antichrist.”

by a member of the CFR who serves UNESCO? Check out the evidence at
