The roots of family lie in the last day of Creation. As the first chapter of Genesis says, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Recently, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has had to make the point that God created man and woman as different human beings, though complementary. This is not obvious to current European Union mainstream message, that diffuses this sexual binary conception that dates back to the beginning of history.
The second chapter of Genesis portrays Adam and Eve, the latter as wife to the former. Here we find the first idea of marriage, so that man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Marriage is therefore a natural institution, established by God from our first ancestors. Again, Brussels eurocrats and many radical leftwing politicians seem to have forgotten this and no longer protect marriage.
The fourth chapter of Genesis refers to the very second generation of mankind, Cain and Abel. The institution of brotherhood is such portrayed. Cain was the first son, worker of the ground; while Abel, younger, kept sheep. Interestingly enough, we see the first representatives of our primary sector, so much mistreated by theVon der Leyen Commission I and, as we fear, II as well.
But Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. What a prologue of the two terrible wars we are suffering these days, one on the very soil of Europe, between Russia and Ukraine, and the other one on the holy land where both the Old Testament as well as the New Testament took place. The voice of our brothers’ blood cries from the ground when an unfair war is perpetrated.
In chapter six of Genesis, Noah became the human leader on earth when man han multiplied. Noah was a righteous man, not only a model for a family, but also for all politicians, at a time when politics is sometimes identified with the worst of possible reputations. This is certainly the case in many European Member States, where socialism is a synonym for decadence and corruption, as it has also occurred in the European Parliament during the 2019-2024 term.
The seventh chapter of Genesis explains that Noah, the great Jewish leader, had done all that God had told him to do. Another item in a family father and political leader that should act as a compass in a time of strong secularisation. Hear what religion and tradition have to say when taking a decision; that is a piece of advice that typically will prove right.
Out of Noah’s generation came two further great men and fathers: Abraham and Job. Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was beautiful in appearance, according to the twelfth chapter of Genesis. Such beauty made the great Jewish patriarch think that possibly the Egyptians might wish to kill him in order to benefit sexually from Sarah. Some months ago, we saw this vision made a reality on the lands of Gaza, where Muslim terrorists horribly raped young girls.
To know about Job we have to turn from the Genesis to the Sacred Book in the Bible that bears the character’s very name. He is described as blameless and upright, someone who feared God and shunned evil. He had seven sons and three daughters, hence a big family. This stands in sharp contrast, perhaps even in contradiction, with the trend in European demographics, to the point that the European Union is fostering immigration to cope with the suicide of younger generations.
Finally, the model in Western civilisation has traditionally been the Holy Family of Joseph, Mary and Jesus in the New Testament. Joseph rightly represents authority, undermined by progressives not only in the family, but also in the school, in university, in companies (with the so-called euphemism “democracy at work”) and even in religious congregations. The role of Joseph as a descendant of the Jewish patriarchs and one himself is mocked by left radicals. So is Mary’s profound acceptance to stay at home and look after his family. Finally, Jesus’s collaboration with his father as an apprentice to his job as an artisan is a model for family businesses so desperately under threat by the globalist elites.
