Many Americans are descended from Catholics who came to America to be free and prosper. They left the many, many nations between Ireland and Syria after having stayed loyal to The Church for as many as 90 generations.

Their faith was strong. It withstood long stretches of slavery, oppression, famine, war, invasion, and tyranny.

Despite all that pain and suffering, they remained good and faithful Catholics.

In America, their descendants faced their family’s final test: freedom and prosperity.

America, the final test. Over time, many became “enlightened”. Some sank into schisms within a generation or two. In another generation, they abandon the schisms. Then, before the end of the line, they go cheerfully down the broad paths into the pits of Babylon.

America, the final test. Freedom and prosperity, the idols of Babylon, draw them from He Who fulfilled the prophecies. Things He created become idols that replace Him in their vain hearts.

America, the final test. Those who leave The Catholic Church are dropping like flies.
