Yeah, I knew what you referred to.

When somebody figures out how to turn Francis the Argentine Eye-talian into Peter the Roman, let me know.

Otherwise what I spoke of, mark or no mark, is going to be a big problem. And it is coming.

Got it. And you are of course correct. Christians are a huge obstacle to the 'progressive' secular humanism of our time. We have very real enemies without and within. It has been coming for a long time and it will get much worse.

Below is something Pope Benedict wrote over 20 years ago concerning this.

…The process will be long and wearisome as was the road from the false progressivism on the eve of the French Revolution – when a bishop might be thought smart if he made fun of dogmas and even insinuated that the existence of God was by no means certain . . .

But when the trial of this sifting is past, a great power will flow from a more spiritualized and simplified Church. Men in a totally planned world will find themselves unspeakably lonely. If they have completely lost sight of God, they will feel the whole horror of their poverty. Then they will discover the little flock of believers as something wholly new. They will discover it as a hope that is meant for them, an answer for which they have always been searching in secret.

thanks again...
