Jesus Christ is often misrepresented as a passive figure in modern culture; in reality, He was confrontational and fearless when addressing corruption, as seen when He drove the moneychangers from the temple. He exemplified how to confront evil directly and advocated for defending sacred truths. Christians today are encouraged to emulate this behavior when encountering Marxist ideologies that seek to undermine faith and family.

He emphasized that what belongs to Godโincluding the soul and the sanctity of the familyโmust be protected from governmental control.
