The Lesser of Two Evils Has Failed. Now What?

The midterms are over. The Uniparty won again.
In this Underground episode, Michael Matt makes three interconnected points:

1. The political bargain has failed. Catholics have been told for years that they must vote for the lesser of two evils, even when that means accepting increasingly serious compromises on fundamental moral questions. Michael points out, simply, that this strategy has not stopped the cultural collapse. Worse, it has taught politicians that Catholic voters can be taken for granted.

2. Catholics must recover the courage of the martyrs. Michael contrasts the fear of losing elections with the willingness of the saints to lose everything rather than compromise with evil. His visit to the prison of Saints Peter and Paul, the story of the Vendean martyr François Charette, and the extraordinary resurgence of traditional Catholic pilgrimages among French youth all reinforce the same point: Christian witness, not political maneuvering, is what ultimately changes the world.

3. The solution is already in our hands: the Catholic Faith. Michael isn't asking Catholics to invent a new political strategy, he's asking them to live the religion they already profess, without fear of the consequences.

The Church may have leaders who have forgotten their mission. The world may have forgotten Christ the King. But faithful Catholics haven't. And we never will.
It’s the only way out of this nightmare.
