Blessed John Paul The Great, who reigned as Pope John Paul II from 1978 to 2005, was a prolific writer and speaker. He has been credited by many (along with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher) for bringing about the dissolution of Soviet Communism and its Evil Empire. His relevant quotes could fill volumes, but one particularly stands out for us today.
Here's the quote:
"We are standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think the wide circle of the American Society, or the wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the Gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. This confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously..."
