I must admit that my faith is regularly tested by the rapid and dramatic decline of Christianity in Europe.
At the same time,I look around and see 2 other ideologies flourishing: atheism and Islam.
For those here who are Bible scholars, does this slow death fit into what was written in the Bible? Was this prophesied?
A voice in my head regularly asks "how can it make sense that the true religion is the one that is dying"?
I know that these thoughts indicate that I have a weak faith. They indicate a tendency to excessively look at things in terms of demographics and numbers.
Someone give me a cyber slap in the face and tell me why I should not let the European situation worry me!
P.S.: the Civil war at the Vatican (re. Amoris Laetitia) has also been disturbing me
