Thank you so much for sharing your words, Michael. Perhaps in your next episode of The Remnant on the Ground, or in a future episode, not necessarily this one, you could emphasize this more for the public. One of the reasons Vatican II occurred was that by the 1950s, we were already witnessing cultural shifts. The rise of Elvis Presley, psychedelic drugs and the growing acceptance of contraception were making their way into the mainstream. In academia, communist ideologies were becoming more prevalent among professors. At the same time, many became too comfortable in the economic boom taking place in America. Meanwhile, in Europe, despair was deepening after World War II, and the errors of Russia were spreading more openly, perhaps because we failed to heed Our Lady of Fatima’s warnings.
Throughout Scripture, we see that God chastises those who do not follow Him. The Prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah warned of this repeatedly.
Thank you for the work you do, Michael.
