The consequences of nuclear war are massive. The sheer loss of life would be in the hundreds of millions. Surely God cannot allow such things to happen to His creation. Would traditional Catholics survive unharmed?

This is Bishop Williamson's World War III Sermon in London. The audio is not great but it is a good video. War is indeed a punishment for sin.

Before I reply, why I ask, would anybody give this post a thumbs down? This is a forum and jman123 has only asked a question he or she would like discussed. If one is not interested why not just carry on. If one gives a thumb down, at least have the decency to say why.

God once flooded the whole world leaving only 8 people alive. Today the world surely has reached the same depth of sin as it was at the time of the Flood. No worse, for it is post-Christ rejection.

God punished the world for the sins of mankind.

Had he left the world continue that way billions of souls would have been lost to Hell. God did not want that either.

Catholics know terrible wars are allowed by God for the sins of man. A chastisement is predicted by the Virgin Mary. How that will pan out only God knows.

As ihsv says, keep the faith, say the rosary and thank God He has given you the grace to believe in Jesus.

What about the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant situation that
was caused by the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/11 in Japan
and still pouring nuclear water into the Pacific Ocean and is killing
the sea life.
This is WW3 caused by careless and stupid governments hiding the
life threatening and extinction level events that the effects will last
generations.
Millions and millions of people will be dying of some type of cancer
because the governments did not care.

The worst chastisement of all is bad leaders, especially bad priests, and most especially a bad pope.

1. Would God allow there to NOT be a third world war?

2. Generally God is pleased to allow nature to take its course -- to punish godless man by giving him the results of his godlessness. With God, the punishment always fits the crime.

3. I don't know who got this idea that the innocent and good would not suffer. All the evidence of history points to the contrary. In fact, this is one of the reasons why many people don't believe in the Three Days of Darkness. (Far from being de fide, it has the LOWEST possible theological mark: opinio tolerata.) It's a very materialistic, worldly, "God takes care of his own" mentality that's not too far from the Protestant idea of The Rapture.

No, I would actually be quite surprised if the good people somehow escaped the tribulations to come. We are not in this world to avoid suffering.

Yes, and we have Our Lady's word on it as well (for those who are not averse to paying attention to Marian apparitions).  She said that the good will suffer along with the bad and those who survive will envy the dead.  This came to pass precisely in Heroshima and Nagasaki, the two Japanese cities that were the most Catholic by far of all Japan.  

Bishop Faure explained this at a recent conference.  He's a very good bishop.

Thumbs up for an amusing post.  I think you're naive, of course.  But still, this is fun.

Hundreds of millions?  You can't be serious.


By the time the Three Days of Darkness is finished wiping people out, BILLIONS will have died.  

It's likely all of us are going to die if these chastisements start up tomorrow.  The good and the bad alike will die, and it will be worse than the Flood.

Forgive me.  But have you read any Catholic prophecy before?  If not, we can direct you to it.  Just let us know.  We're here to help.

Never ask: "Would God allow????"

He allowed the death of his own Son. One of the Trinity died for us.

He can allow anything after that. And at the same time, what he allows will never violate his promises.
