Abstract:
The unity of the people, as well as the survival of the human race was possible over the ages due to the religious factor and the local traditions. But the most solid and long-lasting unity was given by the biblical God – The Holy Trinity – of the Christian revelation, who inspired the most coherent system of values, which is visible in His Church. Moreover, this institution is the most unitary and coherent religious and, at the same time, social structure (being thus divine-human) in human history. Any other replacement of this system could not use a different model, but, similar principles applied in an ideological and autonomous way, led to a situation in which man ended up replacing God. Actually, the system of the digital-global-internet society, which claims to offer the most coherent unity, turned into the biggest threat in human history both against human unity in general, and especially against his religious unity. Claiming to build a better world, this system uses the deconstruction; thus, while it progresses, it destroys any other type of human organization, especially of a religious/traditional and classic/coherent type. Moreover, this system destroys its own principles, which it rethinks or changes ceaselessly, in an illusory hope that human unity, life quality, and other aspects can be significantly improved, despite the more and more numerous catastrophes, which have occurred. The unity of the Church is founded on Truth as Person and Revelation. Any other kind of system, which proposes a hierarchy of values or various ideologies that are not related to Christ-God, the absolute Person, is and will be fated to fail, a fact proven by the countless crises and catastrophes that occurred on all the levels of life.
