COMMENTARY: It seems more likely now that we are indeed facing, as Cardinal Karol Wojtyla said in 1976, the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through.
A remarkable gathering took place in the nation

All this Catholic drama on FR is like having noisy drunk neighbors who fight every night and you are forced to listen to them through the walls.
So sorry you’re being forced to listen. Such a pity....

Well, maybe it bears saying twice... ;-)
You arnt FORCED , sweetheart :(
You have been here long enough to know better.
Posts on a noisy neighbor Catholic thread just bump the noisy neighbor Catholic thread back to the top, like pounding on the wall 30 minutes after the drunk neighbors have finally shut up for the night.

For me, this was moving:
One of those who stood firmly against this dictatorship of relativism (as Pope Benedict XVI called it) was Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, who helped found the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in 1981. Cardinal Caffarra reminded us of the words of Fatima seer Sister Lucia and of what he called an “anti-creation.” He shared a letter written by Sister Lucia, where she warned that “there will come a time when the decisive confrontation between the Kingdom of God and Satan will take place over marriage and the family.”
We are in quite a confrontation right now. The sheer fullness and explosive breadth of that confrontation today would seem more in keeping with the sweeping, apocalyptic warnings of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla back in 1976.
It seems more likely now, in 2018, that we are indeed facing the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. And the Church and its foes — the anti-Church — are at the center of the battle.
Oh, the third secret. Ok, I am finally putting it together. Interesting times indeed.
Well certain protestant congregations have sold their birthright for a pot of porridge. Catholics arn’t immune either.
Mostly Protestants mindlessly railing against “Papism,” and I say this as an Evangelical Christian.
Both Paul VI and JPII speak of these anti-Church/smoke of Satan “prophecies”. Both either promulgated and/or professed and taught the Vatican II religion of ecumenism and religious liberty. It is much more likely that they were “in the know” because they were responsible for/took part in the destruction.
Another article by Paul Kengor that is worth reading. I see his closing sentence as being a warning for ALL Christians that we are under attack.
Thanks for the ping. This is a good article.
