I agree with you but as I just wrote:
“For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible” (Mt 24:24).
The whole of mans history has been the story of dour combat with the powers of evil (CCC 409).
It is not easy to make it to heaven!
I too, as you, will remain with Mary at the foot of the cross while the Body of Christ, the Church, is being crucified (CCC 677, ed. 1992, not ed. 2017!!!).
I learned to stand by the Cross against evil men in about 2nd grade Catholic School - when they actually taught the religion!
