There has been a Christian revival for years, and outside of the Charismatic Catholic movement, the Catholic Church has totally missed out on it. Before this is mistaken for Catholic bashing, this is true of the mainline Churches in general.
The real Christian Churches have no divisions on belief, no nonsense such as it`s ok to be pro choice or for gay marriage etc.
The Pope will have no altar call because he dopes not know what one is, If Billy or Franklin Graham had a audience like this, they would offer a altar call , thousands upon thousands would invite Jesus into their life, there would be no mention of climate change etc
They would all be told they are sinners (I am a sinner saved by grace) they would be told that they will have to repent from the homosexual lifestyle, they will have to walk away from those unholy relationships completely.
Nobody is going to be saved from the Popes message (me thinks) but if it was Franklin Graham people would be on their knees and be overcome by the Holy Spirit
This is so tragic
I don't know about the world or even the nation as a whole. But wow is that ever NOT the experience I've had or observed. In fact there's kind of a problem as people ranging from my degree of senility down to college age are coming in and acting like they actually love Jesus and believe this stuff. The piety of crocheted doilies and "Oh, Father, PLEASE, Father," is being shoved aside by people yelling "OORAH! Which way to the front?"
By the way, my dear Uppercrust, your handle is da BOMB!
