How the Church will suffer during this dark night! Lacking a Prelate and Father to guide them with paternal love, gentleness, strength, wisdom and prudence, many priests will lose their spirit, placing their souls in great danger. This will mark the arrival of My hour."

Lacking a Prelate and Father? Lacking a pope?

Many of my ancestors were from France, Protestants, & as such many were killed & driven from France where they migrated to England; then were given lands in America for their service to the crown. - This is a difficult subject for me. BIL & SIL are Catholics & I don’t really find them to be any sort of example I want to follow. SIL is a German who tends to rub it in. (My father was in Army Infantry during WWII & what they suffered having to push back at Hitler IS NOT AT ALL FUNNY TO ME. Her overbearing tendencies tend to rub me the wrong way.)
