It was Father Vincent Miceli, the holy and faithful priest from whom I learned so much, who wrote, "We are living in perhaps the most decadent, violent, faithless century in the history of mankind. It is a time of massive negationism of God, of Christ, of His Church. Moreover, the escalating armies of atheists do not, indeed cannot, remain neutral, apathetic or indifferent to Christ. Rather they zealously declare themselves openly in favor of Satan's program for mankind, maintaining that his false teachings and diabolical deeds are more likely to guarantee ma happiness in an earthly utopia than are the teachings and ways of Jesus Christ. That is why the earth is presently filled with activities and conditions that please Satan. He and his legions of demons help to establish spiritual wastelands everywhere with the aid of evil men. More than ever before has Satan become today 'the god of the world.' The reason is that men, made in the image and likeness of God, have willingly corrupted themselves to resemble more the devils they now follow. They daily engage in strife, treachery, bloodshed, tyranny, violence, terrorism, crime, sexual licentiousness, perversion, abortion, euthanasia, drug addiction, and wars in larger numbers than ever before."
This violence, this demonic hatred, was in evidence at a recent peaceful demonstration held by Jugend fur das Leben (Youth for Life), a German Catholic pro-life group. On December 11, 2010, these beautiful young people were peacefully demonstrating for the sanctity of all human life when counter-demonstrators began to chant intolerant and hate-filled phrases such as "If Mary had had an abortion, we would have been spared people like you."
Members of Jugend fur das Leben were surrounded by these pro-abortion counter-demonstrators and molested. One of the youth suffered a concussion due to a beating and had to spend a night in the hospital. This should not come as a surprise. Lying and homicide are characteristics of those who follow the Devil. And the pro-abortion movement is based upon lies as it engages in homicide. It was Our Lord Who upbraided the religious leaders of His day, saying, "You are of your father the devil and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies...He who is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." (John 8: 34-37).
The Christ-filled members of Jugend fur das Leben can testify to the truth of these words. The counter-demonstrators who molested and assaulted them would not - could not - hear the Gospel of Life. This because their will is to do their father's desires.

In Europe (especially) and parts of America, it's getting more and more dangerous for Catholics.
