Bob, it is astonishing to me that, at the same time and all together, the entire Christian West is fundamentally going through the identical inversions and subversions as is the suffering Roman Catholic Church towards a militant overthrow.
In the case of the USA, we are blessed to have at the uppermost and tippy top, a good president and his battalions of supporters in mortal battle against good and evil. In the great Church, it is the very same battle but with the predatory top echelon of governance acting against all that is holy, and the people.
The common denominator is Christianity itself, in both the historic Christian West and the Church.
So sorry, my editing efforts vs my thoughts both fell victim to a distraction, and so you wound up with more of both~!
