In short, there are HINTS as to what Catholics have in their arsenal to deal with the Crisis in the Church. So they have SOME historical guidelines as to what they can/should do.
NEVERTHELESS, the current Crisis in the Church is an order of magnitude worse than ANY crisis in the Church History, with no exceptions. Yes, that includes the Roman persecutions of the early Church, the Arian Heresy, the Great Schism, the time we had 3 popes, the Avignon Captivity, and the general decline which led to the Protestant Revolt.
The worst of those crises was less than 1/10th the magnitude/seriousness/complexity of the Modernist Crisis. It's basically all the error/confusion of every Church crisis in history, all rolled into one! We have the papal confusion of the Great Schism, Avignon captivity along with every heresy ever conceived rolled into one super-heresy: Modernism.
No Catholic has ever seen the Church is such a sorry, desolate, or confused state, as those who lived between 1970 and the present.
Catholics who lived in this Crisis in the Church can confidently walk to the FRONT of the line in heaven, past those who suffered the Masonic persecutions in Mexico, the persecutions in England, the French Revolution, the Roman persecutions -- all of these saints and martyrs will be honored to meet those who lived through the worst times of all for a Catholic -- those who lived and survived the Great Modernist Heresy of 1965-???
I'm serious.
If the worse the situation, the greater the grace, then the MOST GRACES are available during this Crisis compared to any other time in Church history, bar none.
