victim's statement .....In 2004, the Vatican launched a global diplomatic campaign for the recognition of Christianphobia. The need for such a campaign, according to the sponsor of the UK Parliamentary debate on the issue, was, “the relentless assault on the nation’s much loved Christian heritage. It’s about how anti-Christian sentiment is increasing.” Not a day goes by in Australia, says a Christian leader, “where the faith is not being bashed, pilloried, mocked, attacked, and dragged into the mud”. The church has persuaded itself, that not only is it losing its faithful by the pewful, but under attack by secular and atheistic forces, it is losing the support and protection of the State. In fact, this so called attack is an extremely effective strategy by the church, not only to divert attention from itself, but to strengthen the state’s support for the church. In terms of the evangelistic mission of the church, the support from the state has never been greater. Australian churches in fact, have never had it so good.
