One of the huge problem of some Catholics is the ignoring of the signs of the times. I do not mean signs of the Apocalypse. I am not into End-Times except in my fiction, which is fiction. But, I am, and have been since the 1970s, sensitive to the growing real time of trial and persecution of the Church.
I would like to ask my readers these questions.
Are you seeing the patterns and paradigms which are pointing to a destruction of civil rights for religious persons?
Are you seeing the possibilities of more than one major schism in the Church?
Are you clear about your own position to a possible time of pain and suffering for the universal Church?
Are you confronting your own sin and imperfections so that you will survive horrible persecution and, in addition , help others?
Are you training your children to be committed to Truth?
Are you willing to accept persecution in exchange for saving your immortal soul?
Are you willing to stand up in the public square and acclaim your faith?
Are you willing to be so committed to Truth, that you would die for the Church and Christ?
Are you committed to Truth, Who Is a Person?
Will you take time to read the perfection series on this blog?
By the way, if you are not committed to truth, you are allying yourself with lies,and the Father of Lies.
