Ephesians 6 12

"Our wrestling (a war) is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." 

​

St Michael the Archangel is the great and mighty warrior of God, who has been our protector in battles against these "wicked spirits", and now stands behind Catholic Church militant warriors on earth as foot soldiers for Christ in an earthly battle going on for millenia, since Michael ousted Lucifer from heaven to become the devil and Satan, who misled 1/3 of God's angels.

Since then, Satan has misled Adam and much of mankind, blanketing the earth with wickedness and evil. The old malevolent serpent continued to meddle in God's arrangements on earth with any and all who demonstrated faith in God, including the nation of Israel. When Satan saw the faith and miracles of Jesus, Satan made sure his minions on earth at that time, the apostate Jewish leaders and Roman governor Pilate turned on Jesus to crucify Him. From all outward appearances, it appeared as though God's chief enemy won the battle at the crucifixion. However, Jesus proved to His disciples that He is the Messiah, savior, and King when He resurrected Himself. The record shows Jesus did not appear to non-believers or His enemies. This is key to understand why Jesus ended His miracles for His faithful on earth when He ascended. His miracles only served to strengthen the faith of His believers, not His enemies.

Is there any evidence or precedence to point to that Jesus will restore the Catholic Church today to its previous status in this post Vatican II malignant religion in Rome as some think? There is ample evidence and precedence that Jesus will not restore His Church just to have His enemies ridicule, persecute, and try to destroy it again. God's enemies hate Him and His Church He established in 33 A.D. at Pentecost, the original Holy Catholic Church. Christ's enemies do not want a theocracy. They have demonstrated that they prefer "Caesar", not God, in this materialistic atheistic world of Satan, their father, their ruler, their god. This is true of the Novus Ordo religious leaders and their followers. We know this by their accepting and desiring the evil anti-Catholic teachings and depraved morals of Vatican II and its new Protestant mass they condone, the clergy and parishioners alike.

Many say things like, "But I have friends who are gay", or "unmarried couples living together", "some are Protestants, even Jews and Muslims." "God loves everyone, right?"." When anyone  points these things our that Jesus condemned, they say things like, "You're not Jesus", "Who do you think you are?' Or, "You're judgmental",  or "We're not suppose to judge others."

It is true no man can judge another, but it's not judging someone to point out when someone's life style is not Christian. It's actually an act of love when you risk alienation to encourage others to repent and obey Christ's commands. When the harlot was about to be stoned by her peers, Jesus simply said, "Go and sin no more." He didn't condemn her, but commanded her to stop living a life in sin. That was an act of love by Jesus. Should we not do the same?

Christ's followers are not deterred by those who resist and reject Christ's teachings on these matters. They recognize who's behind the ridicules and pushback of those who don't want to accept encouragement to repent.

The Catholic Church didn't burn people alive because they didn't convert, as the enemy's revised  "history" books lie about. Christ and His Church have always sought to get non-believers and willful sinners to repend and stop engaging in sin. It is not the place of Catholics to judge anyone. God will judge us all. However, when it's time for Him to do so, it will be too late for unrepentant, willful, and "unapologetic" sinners to change.. As Catholics,"Our responsibility is to inform, not convince or judge." - St Bernadette in the early 19th century, Jesus warned us, "God is not to be mocked." (Galatians 6:7) Jesus wasn't being mean, but He "meant" what He said.

​Today, the war continues to be waged. Although the Church, as a whole, does not sanction crusades to battle God's enemies, but Catholics have the right to defend themselves and their families against invasion as well as to protect their faithful brothers. In general, the war Church militants fight today is the same as Paul wrote in Ephesians, a battle against the spirit of the world, against wicked rulers of this world, who follow the commands of the devil and Satan, seeking to destroy the Catholic Church and God's faithful.   What is our defence?
