I have been reading a book called Lord of the World. It has been recommended by the last three popes as something all Catholics should read. That’s right. Pope St John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis. Fr. Robert Hugh Benson wrote this apocalyptic novel in 1907, before the two World Wars. He foresaw many of the changes in society we see today: increasing materialism, loss of faith, decreasing church attendance, decreasing vocations, and persecution. Society is willing to trade the freedom of religion even if it means conformity and a Godless peace.
