The more time passes, the more the enemy strives to extinguish the Christian Religion, as St Gregory the Great noted many centuries ago…
Newsroom (26/05/2022 09:52, Gaudium Press) “Ever since Mother Church placed me on the apostolic throne by divine disposition, in spite of feeling unworthy against my will – God is my witness – I have tried with the utmost diligence that the holy Church, spouse of God, mistress and mother of ours, returning to the primitive beauty that is hers, remain free, chaste and Catholic. But since this is very displeasing to the ancient enemy, he has armed his henchmen against us, so that everything would be the other way around. Therefore, he has done so much harm against us, or rather, against the Apostolic See, as he has not been able to do since the times of the emperor Constantine the Great. Nor is it much wonder, because the more time passes, the more he strives to extinguish the Christian Religion.”
SAINT GREGORY VII. Ep. 64 Extra Registrum: PL 148, 709-710.
