… THE SAD DECLINE OF HERESY. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I very much doubt that we are living in the midst of the Great Apostasy. Scripture tells that we know neither the day nor the hour, so the idea cannot of course be dismissed out of hand. But vigilance is not credulity, and my best guess is that when Antichrist arrives, it will be in a world that looks remarkably unlike the present one. I imagine it will be a world in which the Church’s liberty and exaltation are secure, if only because the glib mockery in which the Enemy delights could not otherwise be obtained. It will be, in other words, in something like, but not identical to, that state of affairs which we once designated as “Christendom.” The Enemy in his brief terrestrial thralldom will ape the Church Militant in Her full splendor, just as in heaven he once sought to emulate the monarchy of God.
