. . . to circle the wagons. Whatever passes for orthodox Christianity in the larger sense of the term will be attacked viciously by the forces of secularism (read this as militant atheism). Christians will be marginalized at work, persecuted in the public square if they refuse to keep their religion private, children will be taken away from parents who are too rigid socially, and will even be incarcerated for attempting to exercise their soon-to-become theoretical rights of free speech and religion.
Alarmist? We'll see . . . .
I also predict that there will come a time when Russia will offer religious sanctuary to Christians who will be persecuted by the European Union and maybe Christians from the United States and Canada. Yes, this one is a WAG, but again, we'll see . . . .
...to prepare for the final Battle! Kyrie Eleison!
I just pray he can get us back together! That is enough to make me believe he should go down in history as Pope Benedict the Wise!
I wonder how many of us will have to leave North America and Western Europe for new homes in south America (still catholic) and Russia
Destroy the Novus Ordo? lol
BTW, nice job getting the two Popes in the same pose!
