Shaw suggests introducing the versicle “Spare, O Lord, spare thy people, and be not angry with them for ever” before Benediction, and to celebrate public Masses a year in reparation for abortion and other manifestations of the “culture” of death.

It is because Satan who is working through the Media/Hollywood etc is trying to destroy the only true religion established by Jesus Christ - the Catholic Church , but fear not we have been promised "the gates of hell will not prevail against it"

Radulf: problem is that we cannot reverse history. We'd better try a realistic solution: praying the Rosary daily and looking forward to the Triumph of Mary.
