[Cicero]

I would not be surprised by a Great Awakening in all the Churches. We are about due in the Catholic Church. The Pope has spoken about a Second Spring in the new millennium, and I think he is right. There is something like the stirrings of an awakening among Evangelicals already, I think. And I have long hoped for an awakening in the black churches, where there is undoubted faith but where the people have been led astray by politicized ministers. Nothing short of such an awakening can pull America out of the cultural decay in which we have been sinking since the 1960s.

"Nothing short of such an awakening can pull America out of the cultural decay in which we have been sinking since the 1960s."

Amen, and it must start with God's people on their faces in humility and repentance. Though I am not Catholic, and while I appreciate the pontif declaring this sin and a crime, I'll be convinced if he calls all Catholics to a day of solemn assembly and repentance. Even more so if the congregates obey that call.
