It is indeed a tragedy 100%. Most tragic, however, is that we in the Western World have been conditioned for over 80 years to believe that what is good is evil and what is evil is good. Therefore, is it any wonder why things keep getting worse in our society as the years go on??????
I find it frustrating that people deliberately choose sin. But then again, there is always a remnant. How do you change it? Sound doctrine, because
2 Timothy 4:
3 For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:
I am not going to pretend that there are not victims in this society, nor to pretend that there is not injustice. Often there is grave injustice.
Matthew 5:10-12
10 Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
12 Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
But we know that we must keep to the truths, to this great Faith and with prudence do the right thing.
Again, everyone is suffering from this oppression that is kicking against faithful Catholics, but we must be patient.
