That is then a misleading statement, since it contains the word always, which is superfluous to its meaning regardless of what one sticks on the end.  Does Our Lady not know Portuguese grammar?
Take out the word "always" and the statement is MORE accurate with ANY extension to the text.
The Dogma of the Faith was perserved no better in Portugal than any other European country. Portugal's birthrate is below the UKs. Portugal has abortion and the legal marriage of sodomites.
It wasn't "always", it was a mere 50 years.

The good have not been martyred.  Not in any significant numbers where they stand out from most other centuries.   ... If the good are martyred, surely we notice don't we?  Does the martyrdom of the good not imply an event where a sizeable number of "the good", presumeably faithful baptised Catholics, are martyred.
Surely we don't notice! Are we believe that, because the MSM is not talking about it, that it doesn't happen that the good are martyred. Are we to believe that in the 21 century there  are fewer  martyrs than in previous ages?

Russia is divided and we won’t find the truth about it on Fox evening news. 

From an article published yesterday on Traditioninaction and for informational purposes only:

Habitually the Western man has a distorted idea of this reality. He believes that the “orthodox” form a single church with a coherent and cohesive doctrine. This is not true. In Ukraine there are three different schismatic churches that have almost always been linked to the communists of the Kremlin since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. 

Recently the news spread that the Schismatic Church of Ukraine is declaring its independence from the Russian Church and uniting the three schismatic Ukrainian Churches. These three Churches had always fought one another, each one pretending to be the “true Orthodox” Ukrainian Church. Why now have they reached a pacific union? Why only now have they declared that they no longer can receive orders from Moscow’s Patriarch Kirill, a known KGB agent who is obedient to the rulers of the Kremlin?

The Roman Church is no less divided.

The point is simple, let's consider Russia at a street level an everyday level where you interact with your neighbours is a lot less degenerate than European countries.

They are not politically correct.

You are free you have an opinion about most things.

There's religious freedom provided you are not proselytizing in public.

The President of the country is often seen performing openly Christian acts.

Women dress as women, men as men.

Russia is far from perfect.  But it is a LOT better than at any time in the last 102 years and improving.

I visit every 18 months for 2 weeks on average and a have Russians staying at my house most months of the year.  I watch Russia news (not just RT, but docuмentaries and I can see the nature of the TV is more wholesome than it used to be).
