“The only true ark of safety is the Church, who received her promise of indefectibility from the Lord (Matt 16:18). But the Church, too, is always in need of reform and will have much to suffer. Yet she alone will survive this changing world, because she is the Bride of Christ and also His Body.”
Assuming that the RCC can survive almost guarantees that it is vulnerable to destruction. Eternal vigilence applies to the RCC who should know better as the RCC used to be an empire and now their ‘domain’ is less than that of the Mall of America.
This is talking about civilization.
Have you forgotten the quote from the Bible — “And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”?????
