Satan is manifesting his hatred of Christ and His Church more openly and more violently as each day passes. He knows his time is short and his rage is fever pitched. The “heel” of Our Lady will crush his head, that we know. Before that happens. however, we have to realize we are at war with the forces of hell. These diabolical powers, Pope Paul VI once said, have managed to infiltrate the Church and disorient it from its mission of saving souls, and they have stirred up persecutions against its members all over the world. God will purify His Church with the blood of many martyrs before the conversion of Russia and the “period of peace,” promised by Mary, takes place. As we look at the ongoing fifty-eight years of Communist persecution in China, and the increasing intensity of the Church’s battle in Vietnam, India, Iraq, Kenya, and several other African countries, there seems to be a global onslaught looming over the horizon. And it’s not just the Moslems and atheistic Communists that the Church must contend with; now it’s the Hindus in India. Europe and the West, meanwhile, are self-destructing, with only a handful of nations resisting the assault on the natural law and everything Christian. The great Catholic, Hilaire Belloc, prophesied that if Christendom fell it would not be replaced by the old paganism, but by a new paganism that would be open satanism. The devil has had enough of being worshiped indirectly through idolatry and false religion; in his last days he will demand direct personal worship. When one reads about the rage of homosexual activists against defenders of marriage and the natural law, their sporting of upside down pink crosses, and their shouting blasphemies against Our Lord and Our Lady, that is in-your-face satanism. When you read about pro-abortion, lesbian “nuns,” practitioners of Wicca, some holding tenure as religion teachers in Catholic colleges, you know you’re witnessing satanism. Be prepared. This is what we are facing.
