Many reports have surfaced about the cause of the Notre Dame Cathedral fire. Burning and desecrating Christian churches have become common in Europe, so it would be exceptional to call this fire an accident.
This event could galvanize Europe, even France, about the subtle and often brazen cultural war taking place, where only one side has been fighting.
I remain pessimistic, because there has been little fortitude shown by the Euro-leaders so far. In the US, for example, people have let Fuller Seminary and the rationalists take over their denominations, with hardly a peep from anyone.
Every denomination, even Rome, is heavily salted with Fuller graduates. As I told one seminarian, the Church Shrinkers in Missouri smirked that more of their pastors were studying at Fuller than at their own schools. LCMS-WELS-ELS sent all their leaders to Fuller with your offering money - or was it your insurance money?

| Barth-Kirschbaum - Marxist Calvinists. |
In the Biblical studies area, rationalism is in complete control, from one side (Fuller), and the other side (big divinity schools). Behind them all is the plagiarizing, adulterous couple - Karl Barth and Charlotte Kirschbaum.
Here is Hunsinger's review of the book on Barth and Kirschbaum.

| Charlotte lived in Karl and Nellie Barth's home, for 35 years, so everyone knew. WELS-ELS-LCMS are no different, so do not be schocked. |
Barth-Kirschbaum is foundational for the Fuller alumni and for today's mainline theologians. Few realize how the rationalism of Barth-Kirschbaum - not to mention their academic dishonesty - has influenced all the merchants of Christianity:
- Church Growth experts
- Denominational leaders
- Mission board members
- Seminary professors
- Congregational pastors.
A Bronze Age LCMS pastor, a friend of Otten, said he loved my articles on Church Growth. However, when I spoke a little too loudly about my contempt for the movement, he looked around lest someone hear me (in the hallway of his church). The walls have ears and long, long memories.
