Don Bosco's Secret To Converting The Unconvertible | Ep. 317


Why So Much ‘Delinquency’ in our Society?

Reaction to a video on the ‘preventative’ method of Don Bosco re delinquent or lost youth:

Yes indeed. Why is there so much delinquency, crime & uncaring in the word - which Don Bosco & people like George Muller had to face & deal with - & worked to offset? It is our poitical, cultural system, one which is not maternal, caring for all, but violent, warlike, exploitative, selfish, caring only for themselves. Countries make war on other countries to gain land & resources. This is the foundation of our society. And this applies to the average person with unjust laws, exploitation, a system that causes great wealth vs. miserable want. The 'sudras,' untouchables & those who have nothing & no one to protect them, educate them, guide them, become the 'miscreants' of society who are thrown into jail while the delinquents OF POWER, on top - the leadership who through WAR - violence, killing & destroying - were given great tracts of land & 'sharecroppers' or 'tenants' to serve them. The poor have hardly anyone to protect them, defend them or help them - in this society no one cares. That's where the Saints come in, they care, & by the Grace of God they offset the wicked in Power by taking the forgotten & the trod upon, educate them, guide them, bring them to their greatest good. In those days there was no welfare system & people like Don Bosco, George Muller & Spurgeon started orphanages of mercy to take care of the youth - provide them with all that was needed. It was the hand of God reaching out to them.

Charles Spurgeon

In 1867, Baptist preacher and writer, Charles Haddon Spurgeon was inspired by his faith to found an orphanage in London, offering vulnerable children care and education. - This man was INCREDIBLE - might have been equal in holiness & charity to the poor with Don Bosco. 

George Müller 

            The New Orphan Houses, Ashley Down, commonly known as the Muller Homes, were an orphanage in the district of Ashley Down, in the north of Bristol. They were built between 1849 and 1870 by the Prussian evangelist George Müller to show the world that God not only heard, but answered, prayer. The five Houses held 2,050 children at any one time and some 17,000 passed through their doors

  1. Indeed, the problem is fundamentally systemic, and a result of patriarchy and its favorite brainchildren: capitalism, militarism, and imperialism.
