It is an understatement to say we are living in evil times. Some people correctly point out that the age we live in is the least violent of any age. But violence and evil are two different things, and the emerging evil will lead to an unmatched time of violence, death, destruction, and tyranny.

We see this evil in world politics, in the culture, and in the heart of Man. A growing atheism threatens not only the US, but all of Western Civilization.

Our time of relative peace was made possible by the foundational beliefs and ideas of the Judeo Christian faith, as well as a dominant America, whose military and economic might held back tyrants and their desire to conquer.

But the evil emerging today is greater and more dangerous than at anytime in our history. It is an evil whose path has been paved by the apathy, atheism, and love of material things by many in the West.

With the death of God comes the death of Objective Morality. A pseudo morality emerges that sees tolerance of what is objectively evil as one of the highest virtues we can have. In place of the need for redemption through a surrender and repentance to God, many achieve this need for atonement through a suicidal empathy. So powerful is this need that they will tolerate evil people to the point that they will caress and kiss the hands of those who hold the sword that will slay them.

Father Chad Ripperger, a Catholic priest and well known exorcist, has said that demons know their time is short, which explains the rise in this evil and in cases of demonic oppression and possession. This evil permeates our society.

While technically speaking, this may be, relatively speaking, the least violent time in human history, it is, without a doubt, the most evil time. It threatens not only the Civilization that gave us liberty, and all things beautiful... Art, music, and technology which has drastically improved our lives... It threatens our eternal souls and those of our sons and daughters.

This is a spiritual battle, and many are losing it.

There must be a rejection of this false morality which champions tolerance. Our empathy should be directed towards our own souls and our children, not to those who detest and hate that which we hold dear.

May God help us.
