Because of the Enlightenment, Western peoples have believed for over 200 years that mankind can do nothing but go forward, eliminating hatred, war, poverty, etc. Of course, Enlightenment principles ignore original sin and the fact that human beings are fallen creatures.

It is perfectly possible that Western culture will fall utterly and Christianity be suppressed to the point of near annihilation. We may find ourselves celebrating the Mass in caves and in hiding, once again. Everything in this world is conspiring against Christ’s Church and has since the day Jesus was conceived. We can’t be surprised if that opposition is growing strong, once again. In fact, we ought to be amazed how long we have survived without serious persecution.
