Reminds me of that Fatima prophecy about the Holy Father being attacked by a primitive army...which no longer seems so impossible

That's exactly what is going on. Living through this has an almost surreal quality right now.

It’s been surreal for almost a decade now.

We're closer to a new era of persecution. As religious observance fades, the Pope and Catholics become targets for scapegoating and renewed anti-Catholic bigotry. The blaming the Pope for AIDs meme is a case in point. AIDs didn't exactly start among pious Catholics following the Pope or Humanae Vitae. The African dislike of condoms has little to do with pious devotion.
