I think a quietly disturbing trend is personal reliance on electronic devices.

Starting with TV, when it takes over your life and you can't get through the day without your requisite stint glaring at the boob tube (aka the devil's tabernacle, so said Fr. Frank Poncelet).

Anyone who thinks that Westerns are full of admirable morality ought to have his head examined. They have total disregard for the sacredness of life and kill one another with abandon over trifles. Fornication, adultery, theft, contempt of God and His Church, Protestantism at best and even that's made into a joke -- what social redeeming value is there in that?

But now the iPhones and tablets are taking over so that people can't communicate face to face anymore. In Hawaii it will become an offense punishable by fine the first time, to be looking at a cell phone while walking across a public street. They've had too many pedestrians run over when they're paying no attention to traffic. I see this a lot, like a boy skateboarding down the sidewalk, leaps the curb and soars across the intersection without so much as looking over his shoulder at the cars coming at him. If you think that's bad, I've had mothers pushing their stroller come out without looking for cars, walking right in front of me when I'm about to turn through their cross walk. If I don't brake while cars are coming up behind me at 40 MPH, I'd run over the baby and the mother.

Then there is the horrific content of movies. There is a new movie about the Catholic martyrs of Japan that ends with one stomping on a crucifix in order to be spared torture. That ending is fake and made up for shock effect, but the rest of the film is much too disturbing for Catholics to view in the first place, even if it is what really happened. Devil worshippers enjoy making Christians feel miserable. Now their practice is becoming popularized by indecent fashions, profane language, indecent behavior and the like. This all ties in to the posts above regarding abortion, divorce, public acceptance of pederasty (alias LBGTQETC).

Read the Old Testament and see what God did to Israel when they lost the faith. Look at what God allowed to happen in Japan to the two most Catholic cities there (Heroshima and Nagasaki) after the Japanese tortured and killed Catholics for hundreds of years. God's patience with America is already unbelievably stretched thin. How it could go on much more I have no idea.
