At the start of the 20th Century, Guy Fawkes began to be portrayed in a sympathetic, even heroic light. He become a symbol of “the people” and opposition to totalitarianism. His likeness is worn as a mask by libertarian and anarchist protest groups convinced their anti-government causes are just. But Guy Fawkes was a terrorist, eager to join others in establishing a totalitarian Catholic dictatorship under which adherents to Reformation teaching would have suffered. “Ideas are bullet-proof”, one modern day “Guy” is quoted as saying. Maybe…but those who come up with the ideas and act them out do not share such invulnerability. “Woe to those who dream up wickedness and prepare evil plans on their beds!” (Micah 2:1).
