 + JMJ Since SARS-CoV-2, I've known that there is the possibility of a SARS-CoV-3 emerging sometime in the years following the 2020 Pandemic.

 + JMJ Except for the SSPX, the Catholic Church of the 21st Century seems to lack consequences. Obviously, when I speak about consequences I am referring to the speed with which Rome responded when the SSPX announced and the proceeded with the consecration of four bishops without a Papal Mandate to do so. Moving on ... The biggest consequence  whose absence I am thinking about is: The existence of hell, that the damned are damned forever (i.e. eternity), that the fallen angels are the first condemned to hell, that humans who die in a state of mortal sin are condemned to hell, Hell is neither empty nor full, there is always room for one more, See #2.

Principle 3: Study the Church – Study the Crisis It is important to understand that the 1950s weren’t as perfect as they seemed to those of us looking back 75 years later. Before the council, from what I’ve read, things weren’t all gardens and roses. There were reports of waning Faith, rigourism, indifferentism amongst Catholics. Just looking at the depiction of Catholic life in movies like Marty (1955) . At least the Popes up to then were being clear and consistent in their teaching and for that we should be thankful as their writings form a clear contrast to what is published today.
