	Without Jesus Christ	With Jesus Christ
Infanticide	All of the pagan civilizations legitimized and practiced the murder of newborn babies: Greece, Rome, Carthage, India, China, Japan, North, South and Central America, Africa, Oceania, etc.	Constantine – (First Christian Emperor) takes away from parents the right of life and death over their children. The Council of Arles (313) encourages Christians to take in abandoned children.
Slavery	In ancient Rome as at Athens, the vast majority of inhabitants were slaves. Throughout its history, Islam has always practiced the mass trafficking of slaves (European or Black). In Europe, slavery reappeared when the Christian spirit grew weak, at the end of the middle Ages.	“There is neither free nor slave” declared St. Paul.  From that moment, without trouble or revolution, Christian Charity began to snuff out slavery. Christians freed their slaves. In France, the Queen Saint Bathilda (626-680) established the prohibition of slavery.
Cruelty	In Antiquity: Habitual massacre of those conquered. Rome: Circus games, atrocious spectacles (under Claudius, thousands of men killing each other on Lake Furino to offer entertainment for the people!)	“God is Charity” announced St. John (first epistle) and the first Christians radiated this charity. The pagans said of them: “See how they love each other!”
The Selfishness of the Leaders	Some philosophers praise charity, but practice it very little and without giving of themselves. (Tyrannical Rule: “In helping the destitute, the wise must remain indifferent to the evils he relieves: pity is a weakness, an illness.”) Universal scorn or contempt towards the poor and the weak.	The poor are the center of attention Christians are invited not only to “weep with those who weep”, but to honor the poor, to whom they are indebted. Even during the reign of the “Sun King” Louis XIV, Bossuet recalls this great thought in his sermon on “the eminent dignity of the poor in the Church of Jesus Christ” (1659).
Tyrannical Rule	The political power is absolute (Caesarism). Even if there were a few wise kings and emperors, the tyranny of a Nero or a Caligula or a Commodus, didn’t encounter any opposition.	Protection of the humble – Popes and Bishops take up the defense of the weak in face of the strong. Multiple examples from the time of St. Ambrose (in face of the emperor Theodosius), up to Cardinal Mindzenty in face of Communism.

The pagans said of them: “See how they love each other!”

God help us, amongst Traditionalists there is to be found so little charity toward each other.
