Yes, we're supposed to trust God. But we're also supposed to be aware of the signs of the times. There's no contradiction between the two such as you imply.

If you were Joseph or Mary and heard that Herod was killing all the male babies in order to get to Christ, would you have "trusted God's Holy Providence" by staying put and not fleeing to Egypt? Should they have not been concerned by this particular form of "government malfeasance"?

Matthew ( the mod ) probably thinks I am one of the fatalists. No, I am a survivalist, I just take issue with the methods of others. They want to store guns and food, gold and silver. My method is to go to France and try to find a Catholic community while awaiting the Great Monarch. To me staying in America is the worst way to try to survive. And what good will precious metals do you after a global stock market crash? Not just a crash, either -- there will be no more stock market.

If the economy doesn't get as bad as the doom and gloom people say, then at least you can eat your stored food and there shouldn't be any waste of money.

That the economy is going to collapse is not an opinion, and it's not doom-and-gloom. Just reality. To say otherwise at this point, you might as well live in Teletubbies-world such is the level of fantasy.

All the gold in the world can't pay back America's debt, and that's just one country. The scenario where Anti-christ comes and offers people a way out of poverty by selling their souls... Even that can't really happen. There's not enough jobs under the current ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic corrupt system to support all these people anymore. Note that I am not saying the world is overpopulated, because God has provided enough to support all these people and more. I'm saying that the big businesses shipping out jobs to China and the governments are sick and corrupt. The globalized system cannot continue, it's unsustainable.

Though it sounds weird, the only real way to pay back all this debt is... Death.

Bishop Williamson says there will be a Chastisement in the near future (when, is anybody's guess. He doesn't name dates.)

Odd that you and he should agree on something :wink:

I'm kind of surprised to hear that there is anyone left who thinks the contrary...

But I agree with Bp. Williamson on lots of things. I've even speculated that many potential sedes stay in the "organization that shall not be named by me" because of his influence. He says lots of things that most of the sede clergy won't talk about, perhaps out of diplomacy, perhaps because they don't agree.

Quote from: Matthew D. Hardin

Poverty is a virtue.

If it were that simple, the world should be more virtuous now than ever before. It is not. The spirit of poverty is a virtue. There is no virtue is a mere lack of material goods -- especially as each man needs to make a right use of a reasonable amount of them as he goes about the harder business of trying to lead a virtuous life.

Quote

It's a moot point for me, because I have no assets to "protect" other than my own soul and know what it's like to have a checking account balance in the single digits.

We are part of the NINJA generation -- No income, no jobs, no assets. Those who do have assets are often clueless, left to watch in disbelief as the Banksters rip them off again and again.

Quote

All I'm doing is pointing out that we ought to be more worried about dangers to our own soul brought about by greed and a failure to trust in God's Holy Providence than we are worried about any government malfeasance.

Upon this point we are all agreed.
