Of course it's not gone, if it were gone, the gates of hell would have prevailed....

....no matter how much tragedy with which history is strewn, Christ moves towards His glorious triumph. With His resurrection was the announcement that He would have his victory, when He emerged from the tomb, He proved that there was no force, no power greater than He and He proved that if He was invincible, then that which He would establish is also invincible, namely His Church.

It really does not matter therefore that throughout history the Church suffer terrific blows, that it at times – and these times almost have always prevailed – that the Church suffer it’s terrible embarrassments, it’s setbacks.

Despite all this, despite all appearances and despite whatever losses, Christ is triumphing in the Church and He is proving His power, His invincibility and He is succeeding in doing what He came here to the world to achieve, and God the Father is fulfilling the promises of His creation.

If it were not so, He would never have created anything to begin with. If it could be, that Almighty God could set in motion anything He did not command absolute power over, or out of which He could not draw whatever He wished, then He would never had done anything like that and He indeed would not be infinite in the first place.

We have it in our power to participate or we have it in our choice to be turned away, it is strictly within our choice and whatever grace is necessary is within our grasp. - Fr. Wathen

well, I meant The Church as we know it
The Church may have to go underground. I think it is being forced to do so by Satan who has taken over the Church. And yet there are good priests here and there, good Churches. I just think they are few and far between. And there may come a time, possibly in the very near future, when the Church will be... um... hate to sound protestant but... the Church may be the PERSONS who believe (meaning the Real Presence wont be there anymore!) , and ... well, it just may be that we will all be saying
Jesus has left the Building

I know the Faith fairly well. I have read a lot of the Catechism, have read the Bible, some parts over and over and over (on top of hearing it at mass)

I am disillusioned. I know more bad priests than good. In fact I only know of about 2 good ones. That is TERRIBLE esp considering that I used to travel a lot and have been to more Churches than most people

When I say Satan has taken over the Church, that is NO exaggeration. I have FELT the presence of Satan in many Catholic (I mean "Catholic") Churches

Communication is never good enough.

I hear you.

This is a wheel-spin; no offence, but if I respond to you little to not at all, it's because I've got you on ignore.

Take care

Out.

CathInfo doesn't have that feature anymore. That was about 3 years ago.
