[Matthew]

In the Old Testament, various unscrupulous gentiles would wait until the Sabbath -- the Jєωιѕн day of rest -- to attack Israel. They used the Sabbath rest against the Jєωs.

Fast forward to today.

Throughout Lent, many pious Catholics are going to be doing extra prayers, penance, good works, spiritual reading, etc. and many will be spending less time on the Internet/message boards/CathInfo/etc.

What better time for "something to happen" than during Lent, when the greatest number of Catholics are "distracted" with their souls and eternal salvation?

If they want the element of surprise, they certainly won't find a better time throughout the entire year.

[Novus Weirdo]

Ah, you mean a Catholic 'October Surprise,' meant to be spun as proof that 'prayers have been answered.'

Predictable, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I think checking in on CathInfo and other places for news would fall under "good works."  All the soldiers in a war can't go to sleep at the same time.  

We could also add more devotional items to this site to combine prayers, spiritual reading, and keeping an eye on everything.  After all, we ARE trying to help preserve Tradition.  Chatting capriciously could be reduced in time however.  

And we can offer our prayers and devotions to ask for protection from harm.  Prayer and fasting obtain many graces.
