This episode is one of the more inspiring episodes of The Vortex. It was so inspiring that I had to stop the video to think.

Depressing. No newsworthy. No content. America-centered. Knows nothing about Europe atitude: wars in Europe because there were wars? Maybe civil war in America because there was a civil war !!! What next ?

Catholic? Zero. It would be CNN (much better) or BBC (much much more better).

I prefer to see comics … at least make me laugh … I may sink but I wil sink laughing … the guy will sink depressed…
 
Again he nails it. All Catholics, form the poor to the powerful need to devote their lives to putting the crown back on Our Savior’s head.

The Catholic Church built Western Civilization and is the only institution that can save it.

Exactly the defeatist mindset which will deliver Europe to Islam on a silver platter.

He’s basically saying that Western Civilization is going to fall. I fail to see how your logic condemns this video.

As a side note, I feel anxious because since I’m a young person, when I grow up, I’ll have to prepare the next generation for a new world. I just hope the next country that secedes America is called Eurasia and Big Brother rules the country.

If he is so good on predictions he could tell me the prediction for Lottery, or for himself. As he is working there, I dont think he can guess Lottery so, at least he is 99.9999% certian but not 100% …

First, click to see the Battle of Poitier, 1300 years ago. Then click to see the Reconquista by the Catholick Kings. this was the initiative to conquer Europe from the west.

Now, from the East. Click to see the Battle of Vienna.

If the guy from the video was around, he would have said that Europe would be muslim. But as i suspect that he knows little about history, he foresses what cannot foreseen.

In fact all statiscs show that not because of bad christians Europe may be islamized but because each muslim woman has got 6/8 children. But… did the video man predicted what is happening in the arab World, the Arab Spring?. This recent holiday, I was seeing Al-Jazzera which is an independent TV station and I heard many muslim men and women saying very badly of the islam, that is was a weak religion, the women were slaves, the poligamy was unacceptable and that Islam thought was a brake to progression. But our man may never have seen al Jazzera for maybe … it is a sin …

I have taken from Internet these predictions about the future:
  • Louis Pasteur’s theory of germs is ridiculous fiction (Pachet, Professor of Phisiology, 1872)
  • The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys. (British Post Office president, 1876)
  • Radio has no future. Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax. (Thomson, 1899)
  • Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value (Marechal Foch, 1912)
  • While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility (DeForrest, inventor)
  • Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. (1929, YaleProfessor)
  • There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will ( Albert Einstein, 1932)
  • The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives."(Admiral William Leahy, Project Atom Bomb)
  • We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out (Decca REcording, rejecting the Beatles)
  • “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” (IBM Chairman, 1943)
  • Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons (1948)
  • I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing is a fad that won’t last out the year. (1957)
  • It will be years – not in my time – before a woman will become Prime Minister (Margareth Tatcher, 1974)
  • There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home. (1977)
  • We will never make a 32-bit operating system. (Bill Gates, 1989)
  • I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time. (Bill Gates, 1989)
  • One would think that if you’re anonymous, you’d do anything you want, but groups have their own sense of community and what we can do. (1993)
  • Next Christmas the iPod will be dead, finished, gone, kaput. (2005)
The future belongs to God. And our God is a jelous God. He will not allow anyone to take from Him what is His.

Let’s put in god’s Hands, as a Child in the Mother’s lap.
 
Historical speculation is dicey at best, but it does seem that an abandonment of morality is a precursor to downfall. We may well be seeing the last few centuries of western civilization, as it has been known. The Church though is not tied to Western civilization and is surely not limited to Europe and America. Peter Kreeft has a good treatise on the uncoming struggle, Ecumenical Jihad, where he draws the battle line, not between Christian and Muslim, but between those who strive for morality and those who promote immorality, or perhaps more accurately, a-morality. The solution he sees for the decay is to have stronger ties between orthodox Catholics, traditional Protestants and even traditional Muslims, recognizing that on the moral issues that will decide the fate of nations, we have more agreement with each other than the more progressive members of our respective religions.
 
“I am the vine; you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.”–Jesus

Nothing includes maintaining a civilization my fellow Catholics so let’s get back to Mass! Furthermore we do know what is going to replace national sovereignty: it’s called Globalization instigated by socialism and its use defended with buzz words like ‘tolerance’ "progress’ and ‘enlightenment’. First to go will be our right to national sovereignty, then our right to own personal property such as material possessions and shortly after this they will try to take your right to have a soul!

It is imperative that we do everything we can to always live in sanctifying grace so when that day comes where we are called by our Lord to come home we can offer our deaths for the conversion of our executioners; they will need the graces so we can see them again in Heaven.

I just discovered an error. I meant to say I just hope the next country that secedes America ISN’T called Eurasia and Big Brother DOESN’T rules the country.
 
Theories about the decline of the West have been around for a long time now and we can find them both in religious as well as secular circles. I personally believe the West started falling apart with the protestant reformation. I’m amazed it has resisted so long.

Not sure what to think about the Muslim issue. Not all European countries are the same and there is strong resistance in many of them to uncontrolled immigration and tolerating groups that do not tolerate western values. It is not a simple picture to paint. In any case the USA is definitely far from where Europe is now and much stronger. Keep resisting guys!
 
He is saying that my mentality will lead Europe to Islam? Never thought I would be THAT important! Boy, …
And for fortune tellers about the future of Europe, what are the numbers of next week’s lottery? I think they are easier to guess that to guess the future of Europe ! And that, 5 000 miles away !!! good eyesight!

The future is in God’s Hands and He won’t let His Grip off what is His. (sorry for my english, i do not know if syntax is correct)

Would you mind to explain this sentence, please?
I suppose that “he” is “He”, God. Never mind. …
Explain how things went wrong after 313 aD, the Edit of Milan (I suppose that is what you mean by “legalize”), please.

Sorry, I misread your post. And you are that important. If enough people have that defeatist mentality, then Europe will be taken over by Islam.

Europe has already fallen to secularism. I do not know that Islam is a step down, but I do think the secularism of Europe will stave off much of an Islamic insurgence.
