These wolves in sheep's clothing, these sleepers, are all over the place in the republican party, and they're pretending even to be conservatives.
Thank God for the church to combat this foolishness.
But we might be discovering the catacombs again.

You know it's odd because in the past two thousand years there have been circumstances every fifty years ago that prompted Christians to think that End Times were imminent.
For the record I think western Europe in the mid to late 14th and early 15th centuries still probably had the best reason to believe that the Apocalypse would happen at any moment. The Hundred Years War raged between France and England. This lead to heavy taxation, peasant revolts and famines in England and widespread destruction in France. In the mid 14th century the Black Death swept through Europe killing a huge portion of the population (and the Black Death would return every decade or so for centuries, though it took less lives each time). The Great Schism took place where there were popes and anti-popes in Avignon and Rome and each had various allies among different European kings. Basically, people of this period had plenty to be afraid of.
I had always believed that I could personally overlook world events as just a temporary phase; however, I'm no longer so sure.
World War II was probably the modern world's greatest struggle between good and evil, but the truth was that seventy years ago there WAS good to combat evil. Today, I am no longer certain that the forces of good are strong enough to combat evil. I'm starting to understand the mindset of past generations when they started to believe that the end could actually occur in their lifetimes. I never thought the day would come when I was talking to people who were actually contemplating leaving the United States because they no longer wanted to be here, but that is happening more and more.
Basically, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we soon had our own catacombs.
