Go here to read the story. Christ advised us that He would send the Third Person of the Trinity, the Paraclete, to aid us. Throughout History He has saved Christianity time after time.
And Then God Stepped In

If, as the writer postulates, this increase in faith is motivated by a world that is increasingly incompetent and disheartening, then I think we can expect this trend to continue.
Good news for souls, not encouraging for the quality of our earthly “three score and ten”.
However, I *finally* decided eternity it actually longer than a lifetime. I’ve always been a little slow at math 😂
When the yardstick used to measure the height of a culture is based upon such things as defining what a woman is, and a debate breaks out, know that it’s not a yardstick. It’s only a 6″ ruler.
Yup.
Many young people don’t have to pick it up and smell it once they step in it. They too are flabbergasted at the amount of momentum the sewage haulers have gained in the past decade.
The Truth will set you free. Find Him and you’ve found Life. How refreshing and sweet.
We are validly concerned about the growth of Islam in Europe, and the British Isles.
However, Islam has never had to endure critique; never had to consider conversion. Modern forms of communication available provide a unique opportunity.. it was never possible to bring the mountain to Muhammad, but now Muhammad has come to the mountain.
Strangely, Francis has given Europe a gift or rather an opportunity.
David WS:
Fr. Mitch Pacwa on EWTN has said for years that Muslim conversions to Christianity are “significant and growing”. Pacwa is a bi-ritual Jesuit, fluent in Arabic, and I presume has his sources. To protect recent converts from retaliation from the Raging Ragheads, the Church is wise to keep such quiet.
I still recall a 1980s conversation with a colleague who had married a Muslim of Pakistani heritage (at least a generation removed from the country). I cited an article in a French magazine that detailed how 90% of the young Muslim women entering France from North Africa married non-Muslims. Immediate response: “And you’re surprised?”
The fields are ripe for the harvest (even if the harvesters may have to wear camo).
And it is a jubilee year, historically known for mass conversions.
“90% of the young Muslim women entering France from North Africa married non-Muslims. Immediate response: “And you’re surprised?””
Thanks Tom. Makes perfect sense.

Now that you have grasped eternity, consider infinity. (Not the car with a three year warranty)
