It isn’t Marxists nor Vatican II. It is what Sarah wrote. The “sources” and the pointing to the convergence of events is the delusional vision of those ripples in the pond. The maligned MSM is guilty, but primarily because it sells when people are bound by attachments to materialism.

The answer is to be holy. Which doesn’t even require a really reverent parish. A reverent parish is a good which we should not undervalue. But saints were made holy under more serious persecution than we see now in the US, at least. Not that it isn’t getting worse. But that just makes it more important to rise above.

The answer despite all the problems is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Be holy.

i agree and have "liked" your reply but if you look for Bella Dodd's book , it's on amazon , she was a self confessed Communist , if you look at all the "changes" in The West in the last 100 years , it's clear how this has happened , and Bella Dodd was a just one of the many people involved , as she herself openly admitted to , if you look , her book , in her own words , is on amazon . The Catholic Church was changed with Vatican 2 , that is common knowledge , and look where it is now ... as a direct result . Being Holy is the answer but if The Catholic Church has been "got" which it has , it'll take political will as well as being Holy , Biden is a modern Catholic but he and his family were "got" years ago as we can see with the many "events" in their lives , and if he doesn't fear and love God then he isn't a real Catholic , and he fears nothing , he loves money and power . We only have to look at the Advisors and the Lobbyists in America and here in the UK to see which countries have been changed beyond recognition in the last 60 years .

Have not read her but know of her in relation to venerable Abp. Fulton Sheen. In this she is a sign of hope for conversions. Who would believe her heart could be moved towards the Lord?

I believe Pope Francis is sincere about his intention to help transgender and gay persons find the light of Christ. But I think his failure to condemn socialism with a proper understanding of subsidiarity is a weakness that malignant clergy have used for foul purposes. Altogether he is walking into the trap set by Gorbachev’s agenda which Russia discarded but dull westerners have leveraged for evil to pad bank accounts.

Mammon remains the greatest foe and the enemy will attack every aspect of an image made in the likeness of God when pursuit of money or other worldly goods becomes an idol.

Holiness is the cure. The blood of martyrs continues to flow and it seems it shall be needed until He comes again.

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus.
