The church will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. - CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER

Someone should send the Cardinal a Bible.

Don’t be surprised if Bergoglo elevates Ackermann to the College of Cardinals at the next conclave.

The heretics (Wuerl, Cupich, Tobin, Farrell, Ackermann, Mark, Kasper, Maradiaga, etc.) are falling all over themselves, trying to curry favor from the heretic in the papal chair.

You do a disservice by abbreviating your source.

Why do you do that?

Costs a lot to retrofit those churches with onion domes.

Europe is now a mission field.

The Christian West was never completely Christianized, but you could perceive a forward motion. Its Christian roots and partially-Christianized view of life and humanity were what made it distinct from the rest of the world. Since it was only partially Christianized, it didn’t save it from every barbarity, and its progress was long and slow with frequent back-tracking.

But even the church seems to have abandoned the faith, which closes the door to any hope. That is the problem. It isn’t that Europe has abandoned Christ, but that the European church seems to have abandoned him. Which means that it will have to be evangelized all over again.

People who live in post-Christian European societies cannot resist the virulent and aggressive political system of Islam through secular means. The only way to resist Islam is by returning to Christian roots.

While secular progressives would rather die than do that, but in the end Bible prophecy says that they will. Thus the Roman Church will be elevated and the ruling elites will depend upon it’s influence over the European nations. As much as they will hate the Pope, they will depend upon him for their ability to stay in power.

And this is the way the whole Church is heading under this Pope. The Church in Germany might as well close up shop and call it a day.
