Cardinal Wojtyla's 1976 prophetic message

[mark_a]

Can someone link up the text of the above? I caught the end of this story on Vatican Radio news today, but did get all the details.

Something to do with a final battle, Church vs. anti-church, Christ vs. anti-christ. etc.

I think.

This? (Google helps!)

“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realise this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.” Karol Cardinal Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), November 9, 1976

That’s it!! Thanks.

But I don’t quite understand the following:

I do not think that wide circles of American society . . . .realise this fully.

Any ideas?

None? None at all?

Most Americans are just going with the flow of popular culture. I think a great number of Catholics don’t know many of the Church’s teachings on many issues, and if they do, they disagree with them.

The Church is being challenged from all fronts–even from within.

Its a sad and scary time.

Pope John Paul was right.

The USSCB?

NZ is the same, as are most Western countries, sadly to say.
