| Blessed Margaret Pole |
Yes, we are, big time. God has opened the doors of hell for the last battles to occur. These battles are for the purification of the Church, for the purification of the saints, and for the punishment of gross sin.
Those who in denial will not be able to withstand what is coming and already is happening to some.
My blogging days are numbered, and I mean days, if I do not get the help I need to find a very safe place. Please consider....
I wish I could share with you all the stories, as you who doubt the times would begin to see patterns of persecution.
Catholics who are Americans or British and individuals in Europe---first line being hit.
Catholics who are desiring to work in different countries for Catholic religious institutions-second line.
Catholics who are missionaries-first line.
Pray very hard to see what I can see, and hear the stories I have heard here.
Pray for me, as I am very vulnerable.
If you do not believe me, believe another, greater and more famous blogger.

And, a not so famous commentator wrote this...
Father Z., Thanks for publishing these. I have been writing for weeks on the battle we are already in and some of us, on the more obvious front lines, are being shot at, spiritually and physically.
I wrote again, yesterday, that there is no middle ground, no neutral territory. I was told this by holy people in the 1970s and took it to heart.
When I walked about Dublin (until I leave next week, going to Mass and praying), the exact words of Dante, echoed by T. S. Eliot, came to my mind. Most people are on their way to hell. Most people have dead souls. I grieve at this fact, but one cannot deny this. One cannot find but very small groups of real Catholics.
You, Father Z and others, like me in my small way, have tried to wake people up to the coming trials. You have tried to encourage confession and I have tried to encourage the road to purity of heart. We do not have much time. If I do not find a safe place soon, I shall be one in a cell, in silence, but not in a holy place.
What can we do to wake up American Catholics who have so much power and yet are living as if nothing is changing around them? 1938 is now.
Again, you were very brave to quote Ann. Thanks again. I pray for you. Please pray for me.
I have taken Blessed Margaret Pole as my special patron in these times.

I think of Blessed Margaret Pole, one of my patrons I have adopted when thinking of confidence. She had to face the fact that she was being persecuted by her godson. Such hard times. Garrigou-Lagrange again:.
