In 2003, Quebec filmmaker Denys Arcand produced The Barbarian Invasion (Les invasions barbares), which won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. The film portrays a Quebecois society which is in the process of moral decay. The situation in the nations of the West is the same.
In her review of the film, columnist Paula Adamick wrote that "the Western world has been dismantling its own immune system, which is the natural law, by trying to overthrow it.... The Western world may be in terminal decline, but not because God has abandoned us. Rather, it is because we have abandoned God, the source of all love, liberty and life." (1)
