I'm not sure why so many presume that a Caesar or a Franco is coming to save us.
Even if he were coming, he would still need armies of /our guys/ already working up the institutions, bureaucracies, branches of the military, and every level of local and state governments. But these people waiting for the dictator-savior don't want to do that work; they just want to be rescued, like damsels.
You've either going to win with effort and patience, or you are going to lose badly. That's the situation before us after several decades of leftists marching through the institutions.
The Avignon papacy, which everyone agrees was an unmitigated disaster for the Church, lasted for seventy years and subsequently triggered a schism that lasted for forty years. Did the saints who lived during the Avignon papacy remain passive and resigned to the crisis out of a spirit of obedience to the Holy See? No. St Catherine of Siena pleaded with the popes to leave Avignon and derided those responsible for the pope's remaining in France as “incarnate demons." And she did so not out of rebelliousness but sincere devotion and faithfulness to the papacy and to the pope. We must do the same during the present crisis. To remain passive and to allow the Church and the papacy to be wounded by the crisis would be the very opposite of faithfulness.
@offclryan@gonefishin1948 i am not saying he is probably saved. i am merely stating there is a possibility, however small, that he repented before he died.
@FeelsGuy2003 Voting is the liberal opium of the masses. Counter-revolutionaries can achieve nothing until they first recognize the lie of “democracy.”
and if the predestined were certain, about their predestination, they would be secure about their salvation. Consequently, they would not exercise so great care in avoiding evil.
