In the “Song of Roland,” a heroic French poem about the Battle of Roncesvalles in 778 during the reign of Charlemagne, one cannot help but be impressed by Archbishop Turpin. A Moorish invasion of Charlemagne’s kingdom is taking place and his retainers do not hesitate to take up arms. Archbishop Turpin, although a man of the cloth, arms himself, splitting a head or two of the invaders.That was then.Today we have a similar invasion taking place. The Third Worldis pouring into Europe (Africans, Middle Easterners, Indians) and into the United States (mestizo hordes from Mexico and Central America) but the religious leaders today have taken nearly an opposite position. Instead of opposing the invaders, Christian leaders whine about mistreatment of the invaders and have actually sided with them.
