Yes! I have often thought this time has strong parallels to the Middle Ages — when the Catholic Church was all powerful and those who were not lockstep with its doctrines and dictates were heretics. They burned them “for their own good” — supposedly to get them to repent at the last minute and be saved from eternal hell.

It seems to me that Globalism/Covidism/Scientism/ communism has become the new Catholic Church, the all-pervading world belief system that is really about the power of a few. The Catholic Church used religion as a control mechanism and this new “religion” also uses a belief system for the same purpose. I haven’t fully defined their evil concoction of beliefs as yet, but if you question any strand of their their blubbery ball of doctrine you are sure enough seen as a heretic.

As with the Catholic Church some of them really believe it and those at the top are fully aware they are just using it for their own agenda.
