After 0bama won in 2012, I was so distraught, in total disbelief at how so many could vote against their self-interests. I was despondent over the blatant election day cheating that took place in so many urban districts, such as Philadelphia where 59 divisions gave 0bama 100% of the vote. I decided there was nothing I could do about it except pray to God. So for the next four years, every day, without missing a single day, I prayed the rosary and asked that America PLEASE be spared complete destruction which would have been the case had Hillary been elected. I knew America didn't deserve deliverance. After all, gay marriage and abortion were the laws of the land. But I just prayed and prayed to a compassionate God, that we might be spared anyway. God heard my prayers and those of millions of others, and America was spared.
But this doesn't mean America learned its lessons and repented for its wrongs. Abortions are still here, gay marriage is still here, and now more people cohabit than marry. So we didn't learn a damn thing from our 2016 reprieve. And now we have this virus. Slamming the most atheist regions: China, Western Europe, and Blue America. But it won't be enough to bring the sinners and/or the godless to their knees. It's going to take something much more severe. Maybe something on the order of the Bubonic Plague which killed between 30% and 60% of the European population.
Or it might take deep depression and wars -- like the 16 years America experienced during 1930's and early 40's--that created a new generation of spirituality. Priests and sisters were consecrated in unprecedented numbers in the 1940s and 50s. That was the heyday of the Catholic school system in America. The 1950s was universally recognized as a great decade. The family structure was intact, we had economic prosperity, and a solid leader in Eisenhower. The word "God" appeared on our currency. We were more of a Christian nation than we'd ever been, and it was forged through hardship. Sadly, America needs such hardship again. It's a shame that human nature is such that when things go easy and well, people get complacent and toss morality out the window. They decide they don't need God. Then the cycle repeats.
If things get irreparably immoral, God exacts the ultimate deserved punishment, which is total annihilation as happened to Sodom. Sodom became to depraved that God leveled it with fire as hot as that of the sun. An exploding meteor just above the city that destroyed and toxified the land so thoroughly, not even vegetation could grow there for 600 years.
Let's not be Sodom.
Let's decide right now that we will once again turn to God the way we should. Let's not wait for total destruction Let's take this virus as a stark reminder of how quickly things can turn. In May when the churches open again, I invite everyone here to start attending Christian services again. My Catholic Church always welcomes you at any time. Let's not make God resort to even greater punishment. Let's do it on our own--asking God's help along the way.
