"We
are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation
humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of American
society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are
now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of
the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel.
“We
must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not-too-distant future;
trials that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives, and a
total gift of self to Christ and for Christ. Through your prayers and mine,
it is possible to alleviate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to
avert it. . . .How many times has the renewal of the Church been brought
about in blood! It will not be different this time."
(Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II) from Bicentennial talk given in the United States
as quoted by Father C. John McCloskey in The Final Confrontation)
