European Court’s Assault on Christ’s Kingship Exposes Modernist Apostasy
The EWTN News portal (January 16, 2026) reports on the European Court of Human Rights considering the removal of Christian symbols from Greek public buildings. Two atheists initiated the case against icons in courtrooms, alleging discrimination and violation of “judicial objectivity” – claims rejected by Greek courts. The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) intervenes with secular arguments about cultural heritage and “pluralism,” citing the court’s 2011 Lautsi v. Italy decision permitting crucifixes in classrooms as mere “cultural symbols.” This legal battle epitomizes Europe’s systemic rejection of Christus Rex’s social reign.
