[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

If the trend continues to be a Christian shall be like Rome 60 AD i.e. small groups of people meeting at night.

"If the trend continues to be a Christian shall be like Rome 60 AD i.e. small groups of people meeting at night."

Not with Rome standing firm and holding the Christian standard high. That's why the leftists, cultutal Marxists, and enemies of true Christianity attack the Church. Rome is powerful and, as we've seen with JPII, could cause great harm to their cause should the Church choose to use it.

Western civilization survived the fall of Senatus Populusque Romanus largely because of this strength, and that fact isn't lost on Catholics or their enemies.
