'We"? I doubt that anyone from Lutheran-turned-neo-com Fr. Neuhaus's rag is heading for the catacombs. Those Crisis magazine neo-cons are headed for earthly ascendency.

It is we Catholics who are in the catacombs, not the damned (((neo-cons))).

Orthodox Catholicism has been in the catecombs since the 70s, after V2.  We've had to buy our own chapels, create our own schools and train our own priests.  Sure, it can get worse compared to NOW (because we've been blessed) but when compared to the 70s, it won't be too much different.

On a positive note, as the world govts get ever more atheist and anti-catholic, then I see the Church returning from this crisis, to offset the evil of the world.  When one reads Scripture, it is inevitable that a rise in evil will be rebuked by a rise in good.  God will not leave us as orphans and will send us true catholicism to overcome the rise of satanism.

But even then, individual men will have to DESIRE, SEEK OUT and EMBRACE the truth, and the sweet yoke of the Gospel. The Gospel puts restrictions on our selfish wills -- and men have to accept and want that.

Let's face it -- the SSPX (specifically before 2012), the Resistance (which is basically the SSPX after 2012), and other Traditional groups haven't exactly been sending people away. Chapel membership hasn't been frozen, as in "no new parishioners welcome". If people wanted "true Catholicism", it was pretty much theirs for the taking. The majority of men simply DIDN'T WANT IT for whatever reason.

And I'll grant that Tradition was pretty small in the 1970s or 1980s. But since the Internet, it's pretty hard to claim ignorance in 2020 that there are "serious hardcore Catholics" out there who do all the hard Catholic stuff, and have that "Latin Mass" thingy. It's just that most people aren't interested in that hardcore or serious of a religion. They instinctively know what thing(s) they would have to give up, and so their response is no thanks with a forced laugh added for emphasis. No birth control, for example -- that sends a huge % of the world away. No divorce. No meat on Friday. And the list goes on.

It's not God's fault that 100 million, or even 200 million Americans don't attend Tridentine Mass, Traditional chapels every Sunday.

We’re Headed for the Catacombs

Deal Hudson was editor and publisher of Crisis magazine way back, until he got busted having an affair with an 18 year old student when he was a professor at Fordham. He's kind of disappeared since then
