When I survey the pitiful state of the post-Vat2 Church, I find it easy to believe we are experiencing the Great Apostasy.  Honestly, if I didn't believe that the Catholic Church is the one, true Church founded by Christ, I would have left many years ago.

It was estimated that between 97 and 99% of Catholics denied the Divinity of Christ during the Arian Heresy of the 4th century. And yet this was not the Great Apostasy (though many saints thought it was). Mind you, these heretics weren't simply professing heretical doctrines. They were denying that Christ was the Son of God. Think about that for a moment. What we're seeing today from the Novus Ordo is nothing compared to the chaos of the Arian Heresy.
