I believe we have the strength and peoples to stop it but we are lacking something. I don’t want to see us our Christian nation reduced to paganism of any sort. Let’s stop it before it gets any further.

Pray hard & often.
 
Pax Christi!

Yup. Prayer and fasting.

We could also use a national voice: a new Bishop Sheen. Someone charismatic and articulate.

God bless.
 
Pray especially hard at election time.

Vote for Biblical and Catholic values above all else. If a candidate is “pro choice,” or in favor of that oxymoron “same sex marriage,” or taxpayers funding abortions, or ensuring that the Cross is removed from the town square, DO NOT VOTE for that candidate!

It’s always amazing when I hear people proclaim “God is in control” and then go out and put the soldiers of Satan into public office, and expect society to remain on solid moral ground because “God is in control.” It doesn’t work that way, people.

If Sodom and Gomorrah were democracies, the kind of voting that we are doing today would mirror the way they voted back then. Yes, God was in control of those cities, but the kind of control He was in isn’t something worthy of rejoicing.
 
I believe we need to get all Catholic agencies to work together to slow down this moral decay in our nation. The best person to do this would be a former Catholic God fearing Military General to create a plan to combat and/or slow down this rush towards paganism. He will be the best person to bring everyone together and create a plan of action. A General would have the best strategic mind to pull this off.:cool:
 
By bringing some measure of peace into my life, by living Christ’s example, hopefully, others will notice, and want what I have. I am just a simple soldier/ follower. It says in the Bible that the end times, if that is where we are at, will be rough. By going to Mass, living a decent life, I hope to encourage others to do the same.

The rest I leave up to God, the Mother of the Church, God’s Son and the Saints and Angels. We all play our part. Others may be charged with higher tasks than me, activists, Priests, and the like. Find out what part it is you are to play as a servant of God and do it.

There is always room for improvement. There is always room for growth. The first task is to remove the plank from my eye, before the splinter in others. I do what I can, and leave the rest up to God. Others will follow or be influenced by your example.

Many of us have different callings, and that is good. Your mission may be to save a creek from pollution, so that others may safely drink, or to teach the ways of the church to children. We all have our part to play, we just need to find out what that is at any given time and do it.

In Christ,-E

The nation, that is every citizen, must return to the true Church. This will call for a trust to submit authority to the Authority of God, and stop trying to play god.
 
In answer to the Q: Be good, esp when it is difficult to do so.

Our Carmelite way tells us the be good, esp in little ways. My Carmelite prez up north gave this example: about a week or so after 9/11 she was at a garage sale, leaving it, and up the path came a Middle Eastern looking woman. My prez made sure to give her a smile bec she understood the hostility in the nation toward Middle Easterners, and in return she got the biggest smile.

I also remember an episode of Kung Fu (weird western with Eastern aspects) in which Carridine meets his Eastern master and tells him, “I want to end evil in the world,” and the master replies, “You can only hope to end evil in yourself.”

Of course, we should never tire of wanting to end evil in the world…but never forget to look at ourselves first.
 
Prayer, Virtue and Grace.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

Peace
 
When the Holy Spirit acts, moral decay will be reversed. Our job is not to so much to fight this decay, but to bring more light into our dark world.

LOVE! ❤️

Hi Robert Stock, thanks for your response. Along with prayers and fasting as has been nicely suggested elsewhere, if injustices occur and we don’t do anything about it can’t we be called to speak out and help to resolve the infractions occurred? If not what else is there to do? I believe we are called faith and works/action Pax thanks again
 
Our Lady of Fatima (and elsewhere) has given us pretty specific instructions:

Convert, Repent, Pray… Repeat.
Pray the Rosary.

We must also educate, enlighten and evangelize.

We need to do this till we reach a critical mass to re-instill respect for life, virtue, morality, and to stem the tide of secular relativism.
 
We can’t. Not alone. We can only try to influence the people immediately around us, like Jesus did, and then hope they influence others. But in order to be a conduit for His love, first we need to know Him. Then we can allow Him to work through us, by dying to self.
