We must protect Norway at all costs. Who else loves Norway? I'm biased since my wife is half Norwegian. So now we are raising mini-Nord/Celts and I think a lot about how much I want to preserve and protect their nation. Yes I am referring to America, but also our ancestral nations in Europe. They matter too. Am I the only that thinks after we save America we should save Europe? Europe is worth preserving because it is one of the great storehouses of human achievement. The cathedrals, monasteries, villages, castles, farms, paintings, music and old city streets were built across centuries by people who believed they had inherited something worth handing down. Christianity sits at the center of much of that story. The faith shaped Europe’s calendar, art, architecture, universities, laws, charitable institutions and understanding of family, duty and human dignity. Everything. Walk through Rome, Prague, Edinburgh, Krakow, Paris or a tiny medieval village and you are looking at generations layered on top of one another. Stone churches still stand where families worshiped for hundreds of years. Bells still ring from towers raised by men who knew they would never live to see the full fruits of their work. Preserving Europe should mean preserving that inheritance: restoring churches instead of abandoning them, protecting historic towns from soulless development, teaching children their history, maintaining traditional crafts and keeping local languages, music, festivals and customs alive. A civilization that forgets where it came from eventually stops knowing what is worth protecting. Europe does not have to become a museum. Living cultures change. But progress should not require destroying memory. The Christian heritage, beauty and traditions of Europe were inherited, not invented by us. We should be good stewards of them and pass them on stronger than we received them.
