[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

WriteOn:I agree. The Lord has permitted these problems for a greater good. We can only speculate what that may be, but we are under his protection. I believe that out of this will come a tremendous renewal.

An interesting point.

One of the primary areas of secular, modern, liberal decadence has been mass confusion about the gravity of moral evil. There has been a blurring in the modern mind, thanks to moral and cultural relativism, that any profoundly real distinction between good and evil exists at all. This is a wake-up call. Faith is the cure. We need a restoration of dignity and gravitas for the formal life and practice of faith within the Church. Real spiritual renewal in the authentic, orthodox sense.

[ThomasMore]

We are being called to FIDELITY!

In terms of the Dark Night, we are re-entering, enmasse, the Purgative Way and are called to humble submission!
