#230: Naive, Apathetic Or Evil? Pro-Abort Socialists Versus The Heroes Of Our Age
Episode description
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
Two years before his ascendancy to the Chair of Peter in 1978, Cardinal Wojtyla, now Saint John Paul II, spoke these words in an address in Philadelphia:
“I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.
“This confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church must take up. It is a trial of not only the Church, but, in a sense, a test of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization with all its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations.
“We must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not-too-distant future; trials that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives, and a total gift of self to Christ and for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is possible to alleviate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to avert it. How many times has the renewal of the Church been brought about in blood! It will not be different this time.”
This great confrontation that St. John Paul II warned us about is being fought precisely at a time in history when many in the Church Hierarchy and the Laity have grown apathetic and have lost their voice or worse, even oppose her.
